I love etsy !! I have viewed that setting a few times its so pretty , have you seen pink spinel in person? what shade are you looking for ? I recently bought a light pink cushion cut spinel and its so pretty it sparkles like crazy . you will get more bang for your buck with a spinel and with a hardness of 8 you can wear it everyday .
yes I actually own a .66 round light pink spinel... Spinel is my original love and want, but I have a bunch of pink sapphire jewelry that T bought for me on my birthday... so I thought it would be cool to maybe consider pink sapphire...
ooh pretty! Have you looked into spinels yet? I'd love to rec Barry Bridgestock and his gems! He's fabulous at cutting coloured stones! I just bought a tanga garnet from Pre-Loved that was cut by him, and oh my god, is it sparkly compared to my other CSs! Definitely splurge on having it an 'ideal' cut!!!!
