Does anyone have recommendations on what types of colored stones are good for e-rings?
I''d like something that is durable enough to stand up to daily wear, but also one that has some sparkle. I''d like something that''s a lighter, but still pretty, color.
I don''t want something in the red/orange/yellow genre, but am open to any other colors.
Traditional sapphires are a little too dark for me, although I know they come in ligher varieties. But since sapphires tend to have imperfections, are those imperfections obvious in lighter colored stones?
I like blue topaz, but hear they can fracture or chip easily.
I''ve looked at spinels, aquamarines, alexandrites, tsavorites, etc etc. online, but I''m a little overwhelmed. Plus, it''s hard to tell from pictures what they really look like. Are there characteristics that would make some of these stones more/less suited for an e-ring than others? Are some more sparkly than others?
Thank you!
