It's here help me evaluate MRB

[CSpan]

Hi all! Big thanks to @Kim N for finding me a stone over at Loose grown.

After an extended trip out of town I finally had it shipped and picked it up.

Would love your help evaluating the stone. I'll link my other post with the stats.

Thanks to everyone for the help with looking at OECs. Something was gnawing at me and after browsing all the SMTB threads I realized I equate OEC with a warm color and no matter the cutting, a d-f-g stone was going to bug me.

I'm taking @Dreamer_D 's advice and looking for an MRB. My original stone was a transitional and more splintery so I think the setting will work with that cut.

About that cut. I am even more clueless about modern stones than older ones. I browsed Ritani and distinctive gems and am having a hard time telling what a good cut would be. I'd prefer to stay on the...

I'm so glad you secured the stone! It looks fantastic.

It looks very nice. I’m enjoying the pastels in the first two pictures. And I think it works just fine in the setting!

How do you like it?

 

[CSpan]

I am really happy with it. Much more lively than the OEC. I was surprised to see how much color it reflected not being am OEC but the pastels are fantastic.
I don't really know MRBs but i think the cut is good. Trying to compare to video but my concerns that is wasn't the same stone seem to be allayed.

@Kim N thanks again. I think I want to swap the colored stone in another ring for a MRB, it is only 8mm but I'll start a new thread.

Thanks to everyone! Will post when set.

Went to DK's to pick up my reset ER and I am bowled over at how sparkly this stone is. I can't capture the colors but the colors coming off the stone as I sit by a window is amazing.

super huge thank you to @Kim N for finding me this stone within like 5 minutes of me posting. I have never owned a MRB and had no idea they could do this.

I'll work on a video.

Thanls again to all of you and especially @Dreamer_D and @Kim N

Love it!

MRBs are sparkle monsters. Your ring looks amazing and I’m so happy you are happy!

Oh my! Your ring is spectacular!!! I love the new stone. So beautiful ! I too was surprised at the fire I get off my MRB and I also own an OEC.
