Hello!
Would anyone mind helping us choose between these two Congo tourmalines? They are each 1.94 carats and within .5 mm of the same size. I am told that the one on the right exhibits more of the neon blue-green, but the one on the left has 16 more facets than what he normally cuts - which adds more brilliancy. We have not seen a tourmaline in person, so it is hard to choose based on the photos.
We will be placing the tourmaline in a white gold three stone ring with dark/reddish purple Four Peaks Amethyst trilliants on either side (the other side stone choices are aquamarine or a raspberry/pink spinel or garnet). What are your opinions of these stones? Many thanks!
