I should, sometime in 2012, be finishing a project I will have spent 3+ years working on and have decided to buy myself a Yay Me present in the form of a custom Leon Mege ring with a single stone, a halo, and a micropave shank (I am a pearl girl and may have some terms wrong here).
As of right now, I am searching for the main stone. My two main criteria are: bright and very sparkly/firey. I am considering a diamond with a halo of coloured stones, but I am also considering a coloured stone with a halo of...coloured stones. My dream stone would be a perfect pinky peachy pad with lots of fire (surrounded by a halo of paraiba - I fully intend to go for the colour here!). However, I don't know a lot about coloured stones. Can anyone recommend a type of stone or a specific stone that will be full of sparkle and life? I am open to any colour. Demantoids seem very firey but I'm worried about finding a good one.
Basic specs would be no smaller than 5x5mm and hopefully at least 6x6 - cuts I like are asscher, cushion, square/emerald, radiant. Budget is in the up to $6000 range, in general, for this center stone.
Please help me find a colour saturated (but not dark at all) stone that will dazzle and glow and blind innocent passersby
. Possible preference to pads, paraibas, bright neon greens, hot red/pinks, fanta oranges.
Thanks!
EDIT: I would strongly prefer a natural, 100% untreated stone
