Not sure what to purchase, a dark blue zircon, a greenish blue, a red orange, or a light yellow? Thoughts? Blues are around 6-8 carats, reds around 3 carats, yellows 2-3 carats, greenish blue 4.5 carats. I'm gravitating towards the blue cushion and one of the oranges. Thoughts? Thank you!

What would you set them in?

The blue cushion would be awesome as a ring.
 
I have a preference for the blue cushion. Have you seen these in real life?
 
Another vote for the blues - the others, while pretty, don't do much for me.
 
Blue cushion
 
Blue cushion. The blue oval on the right, in the 2nd picture, looks like it has a window.
 
Blue cushion. :love:
 
Thanks everyone!

Burmesedaze, it is planned for a ring.

Acinom, yes, I took the photos myself.

The cushions look prettier that the photos. The darker blue holds its color in lesser light source. The greenish blue pops with a lot of light but gives brownish tone in some. The Reds usually don't come greater than 5 carats.

The deep blue cushion was just cut 2 days ago.
 
I have seen some nice red and green zircons in the past but none of these catch my eye. The blue zircons are the nicest of this group though.
 
Thank you everyone for your thoughts!

So I did get both the blue cushion and the greenish blue cushion in the end! Plus a white zircon pair. :)

I still would like to see some red zircon and looked at some roughs (together with rough demantoids) but the stones were small.

Here are the photos...please overlook the fingerprint smudges! :) the pear was previously bought for my collection.
