My Burma Myanmar gemstones :)

[Burmesedaze]

I like the second and third setting. If I picked the third I would pair it with a band, be it a diamond or even a yellow gold band.

I have short stubby fingers, that don't look good with stacking rings owing to the lack of finger real estate. I keep thinking if I should have the ring 2-tone in yellow and white gold.

Do you own much yellow gold @Burmesedaze

I don't recall seeing much in this thread!

 

[Bluegemz]

You can see the architecture better with this view I like the diamonds at the side!

I definitely like that too. I think it will look great in that setting. I like the rise of the setting a lot. In general, the look seems Less sentimental and more modern in clarity of lines, like architecture, which will be great with that stone.

I vote for the non halo setting! I am biased though I prefer to have diamonds on the shank only for CS. I thini the halos would look better with something like blue green tourmaline or emerald.

 

[Cockatiel]

I vote for WG rather than YG or two tone even. I think most chrysoberyls look best in WG

 

[Burmesedaze]

Thanks again for the suggestions!

@mellowyellowgirl - I'm trying to think... I might have a few pieces stashed away in the family safe. My mum has oodles of yellow gold jewellery. But I prefer white and rose gold.

i dont think I've seen YG on you, but I really like WG and RG on your skin tone. I'm the opposite, RG is terrible on me and 18k YG looks the best.

We used to bring out the YG jewellery during festivals and family events when young... So I think I developed an aversion for them from those days!

A few new stars to view tomorrow at my jewellers!

Loving those pinks!

Loving those pinks!

Been thinking of a pink for a ring! Over a star ruby. Pinks are definitely more me than the reds.

I'm also hoping for more matching pairs. While my tiny pink pair is lovely, I feel they are too small to stand on their own. Maybe 2 or 3 small pairs of differing colours would make foot interesting dangling earrings. I'm pretty sure they can be customised to wear together or separately as studs.

I agree completely. I think those pinks are beautiful. The rubies are beautiful in a different way, but it’s hard to find a good one, and in general I think the pinks are a more versatile color. I’d love to find a pink one for a ring too. Nice thing is that I think one can wear a smaller pink very well as a ring because of their cuteness and candy like glow.

Oh, I love those!!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Yes I'd be happy with a smallish pink for a ring!

Earring idea.

Nice idea....I can also imagine with lavender and pink stars, or even pink and grey stars.

Gorgeous! It's a great idea for star sapphires!

Tough to get lavender ones from Mogok. I'd love a nice lavender star!

Took a fair bit of sifting through Google images

 

[Bluegemz]

I love the lavenders too. This color combo is so lovely....

Yummy. This would be the epitome of feminity.

I'll show this to my jewellers tomorrow. They say they can tell from how the star looks whether that's from Myanmar or elsewhere. Beats me.
But I guess they have 20 years of being in trade to hone that. Even though they are so new to online shopping, they can easily tell from not-so-good photos and good photos whether the gemstones have flaws or "oily" texture etc.

 

[Bluegemz]

Here’s a more vivid example....have you ever seen some purple stars there?

 

[Burmesedaze]

@Seaglow bought a pair here. I think medium purple IIRC, somewhat opaque and the star wasn't sharp. I've not come across since.

The purples here I've seen are not the vivid purples but on the lighter side or tinged with maroon. Same for sapphires, I've probably only seen a handful of what I'd consider purple purple sapphires in the 3 years here.

I imagine that the purple ones must come from Sri Lanka then, though I imagine that they aren’t easy to find anywhere these days.

Vivid with amazing color and high transparency but star isn’t sharp. Lol.

Really gorgeous, Seaglow. Very gemmy indeed.

My memory is bad

 

[Sparkle_ruckle]

Thank you. I really like my latest jadeite necklaces and that blue lavender isn't that easy to find! Most lavender jadeite has a sugary/ young texture with lots of white bits. This doesn't have that much as it's "older" jade

Good choice! I was tempted to pick up a similar necklace at a gem fair but decided against it in the end, because I wasn't sure if it would get enough wear. Now I'm tempted again! And if I were to buy jade beaded necklace, lavender ones would be my top choice! I'd like to learn more about jade too!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Not Burmese but I just bought these 2 chrysoberyls online. 1.84ct and 2.76ct.
Both are Ceylon.

 

[Burmesedaze]

Earring plans for this set of over 12ct light pink Mogok spinels soon!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Ooh what are you going to do with the chrysos?
