Help me choose a gem for my old ering

[Upgradable]

My reset should be here by Friday (if I can survive the wait!) and to distract myself until then I''d like to find a gemstone to set in my old mounting. It is 18k white and yellow gold with 1 point channel set stones down the sides. I don''t have to worry about depth or a fat belly because of the type of prongs.

Help me choose something!!!

 

[Upgradable]

White gold is on the outside, channel set stones are in yellow.

I forgot to say that the current stone in this picture is about 7.15mm. Here''s a side view.

 

[Upgradable]

Anyone????

I would email Barry Bridgestock and get on his list for when he comes back online in November.

He has a precious topaz that comes close to your size requirements - http://acstones.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=2331

What colour are you looking for?

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Oh, and what''s your budget?

 

[Upgradable]

Lauren, that''s stunning!!!

My price is $500 max, and I''m up in the air about color. Just no blue, I already have my sapphire. I''m thinking red or red-orange, but open to anything!

 

[Upgradable]

I went ahead and bought it. Now I''ll have to wait until it arrives to see if the color works.

I''m also thinking spess, tsav.

Frome Precision Gem: Malaya Garnet, 6.88mm.

Pic didn''t attach, but I see you have something already, LOL!

Here''s a spess from customgemstones, 7.24mm

 

[Upgradable]

Wow! That''s pretty!! Do you have a link to that?

Even though I purchased the topaz, I''m not necessarily certain that''s the One. I''ll have to see the color IRL.

What is the budget?

I so want someone to buy this so I can live vicariously through them.

Wow! That was quick! I leave for a couple of hours and people are buying BBs left and right.

I can''t wait to see it in real life.

I''m pretty set on Spesses at the moment, but wow, that''s a killer stone!

Melissa, we love it, we''re voting for that one!

I don''t see a checkout cart on his site. Do I just email him about it?

It's REALLY pretty Upgradable.

Maybe someone can photoshop the spess into the setting so we can see how it would look. I'm thinking it's beautifully richly red!

I couldn''t help myself, I love a bit of photoshopping!

 

[lasscreative]

Here it is with the precious topaz

 

[geckodani]

I shall now DROOL over the spess in that setting!!!

 

[historychick]

I vote for the spess the white gold setting will really make the orange red pop, while the topaz will look a little washed out. Hope that makes sense. I''m also partial to the orange tones.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Oh my goodness, that spess rocks in that setting!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Upgradable]

This is a more balance picture of the ring. The other pictures were taken indoors with my flash which turned everything amberish.

Would anyone be willing to photoshop the two stones onto this pictures so I can see the difference? I''m worried about the spess being too dark in person.

 

[Kelli]

Loving the spess!

 

[Kelli]

But I don''t know how to photoshop, Sorry

 

[Upgradable]

Head on, in your face.
