Hi PSers,
I got engaged recently and I'm looking for a quality blue spinel from 2 to 3 carats that I'm going to set in a simple bezel setting.
I'm quite open to all shapes but am leaning towards an oval. It's very important to me that the colour is top notch and that the stone will hold value and has a chance of appreciating over time. I've spent hours and hours researching and I feel like I'm becoming more and more confused.
My budget is 2000 to 4000 USD, I've found quite a few good looking ones that are on all levels of the price spectrum but not sure what the real difference is.
For example:
Really expensive at 4.5k
