Hi, all. This is obviously going to be a newbie question, but I think y'all are the people who can help me out with it.
I was talking with a friend of mine about a ring she wants to get. She wants to get one with a colored stone but said that she wants one that is as "sparkly" as a diamond...or as "sparkly" as she can get. By that, I think she means the fire or sparkle of diamonds (how they catch the light when they move), not their overall brilliance. She's not set on any color yet, only that she wants a stone that can be worn every day and that has as much sparkle or fire as possible.
She showed me some stones that she was thinking of getting online, but frankly, it seems like all stones can look super sparkly with the right lighting and a good photographer. Neither of us are gem experts, so we didn't really know which would be the sparkliest in person.
So, this got me thinking: what colored gemstones are the most sparkly - that glitter and catch the light in a way similar to diamonds (or similar as they can)?
If you could list what you think are the 2-3 "sparkliest" colored gemstones, that would be helpful - I can forward the info to her (and look at some stones for myself lol). I know that the cut/shape/size of the stone can impact this, so any specific info on that would be helpful, as well.
