Ok, this color is so over the top. Is it wrong to want it?

All the “medium” cut pieces I saw looked like meh peridot. Even the “dark” cut pieces in large sizes still are underwhelming

Just wanted to share my blue spinel I got today from Gene. It's the perfect color! It looks slightly green in the photos (probably reflecting my mostly green phone case) it is a very nice blue in person.

Fabulous, thank you for all of your advice! I was thinking about a cluster with 2.5-3mm stones, and I've just noticed that JuliaB makes 3mm OEC moissies...:Up_to_something:

She does, I have them in my avatar on my band, they're great.

Ooh thank you for the tip! I've always LOVED that gorgeous band of yours, and it's good to hear first hand that the stones are as gorgeous as they look in the listing.

Thank you! I was extraordinarily pleased with them and it was nerve wracking as I had no real experience with moissy. Cut is king! I love them and I will definitely be adding more to my collection.

I forgot about this thread, here is my lab trillion Ruby in a ring made with Rhodium-plated Silver and Moissy. I can't remember where I got the stone, sorry!

I have always liked this setting, and am very pleased with this ring.

Oh? Your actual stone was cut months ago wasn't it? Does the vendor hang on to the stone until you're ready to get it set?

Yup, Gary is holding the finished stones for me, as shipping and insurance charges are not favourable due to Covid.
