So I know this color isn't the most popular around here, but I couldn't stop thinking about this stone so I went ahead and ordered it. I've always enjoyed earthy tones, plus I'm dirty blonde with hazel eyes and feel like this will be a great color for me. I was also totally won over by the descriptions (nice chunky shape, fantastically brilliant, green-gold like toasted grain or "olde gold"), and the fact that gemfix was great to work with and steered me in the right direction before. I should have it in hand tomorrow or Friday and will post plenty of pictures.
I was thinking about finding an earthy type setting too, like something where the shank is made to look like twigs or something with a leaf design, but I'm sure I'd have to go custom and I don't know how I feel about custom prices for a stone that cost under $1K. If I know me, I'll just go with a stock Stuller setting again, but maybe this time in 18k yellow.
I'm pretty excited about it and feel confident I'll like the stone, but since I'm still pretty new at this I wouldn't mind hearing some opinions.
Thanks in advance! Pictures to follow...
