Hello all, I am new to posting here but have been lurking a long time. :) I am in search of a gemstone but I am finding it very overwhelming. I am looking for a square cut (princess, asscher, cushion...) stone to match a light sapphire and diamond band that I have. I am thinking maybe sapphire, spinel or iolite in a light blue violet color. Maybe 1-2ct, possibly larger. :Up_to_something: Can any of you colored gemstone PS experts please help!

what's your budget? :naughty:
 
Well, I would say maybe $2000 at most. I hope this is do-able in the 1-2ct range. I wear a size 5 ring so I am thinking that would be a good carat size on my finger.
 
Oh wow! Upgradable. I am definitely considering a cushion and the price is even better than I thought! I would love to stay way under budget if possible then I can focus on a setting. :bigsmile:

I LOVE spinels!! You get more sparkle than sapphire, you don't have to worry about treatment, it is just about as durable, and the $$ is so much less for stones that are, in fact, more rare. :bigsmile:

ETA: I really like davi's Wildfish sapphire finds, but wonder if they face up as big as you'd like. Though the color on that second one makes my blood pressure rise!!!! :love:
 
Thanks uppy! The more I am researching spinels I think the more I have found a new gemstone to love. :love:

I also LOVE the color of the first sapphire davi posted and the sapphire maebelle posted.
 
I LOVE :love: :love: :love: your band. I think of all the stones suggested I like Uppy's spinel the best. :naughty: Something about the purpley blue is just yummy.
 
I vote spinel!
 
Thanks gempassion. I think right now I have narrowed it down to a specific spinel I found in a cushion cut or seeing if Peter has any rough left to cut an asscher. Decisions decisions :loopy:
 
I did it! I bought a spinel! I will post pictures and details when it arrives, in 3-5 business days. :bigsmile:
 
Cool! Can't wait to see it.
