I'm now looking for a stone to specifically go in this setting. I was really thinking that a paler stone would work - I didn't want something to contrast greatly with the white metal (14k unplated white gold). A jewelery I've used in the past (who has their own cutters in India and has sourced stones for me when I was taking a jewelry class) sent me this spinel - it's pale lavender blue, cushion cut, unheated, 7.05 x 7.38mm, 2.11 carats. I love it - the color is so delicate and fresh.
I should also add the bezel + milgrain is about 1.5mm...so when you take that into account, the width of the ring would be about 1cm, and I wear a size 5+.
Would love your thoughts - size, color, quality of the stone and how you think it would look in the ring! TIA!!
