Wow! What will it be? Pendant? Ring? Can't wait to see the finished cut.
At that size, I am hoping it will be a ring-pendant.

Ooh how big is this one????
Now that is gorgeous if it's big enough!
ETA: omg I checked and it's 10 carats! Now that is sublime!!! That's what I would buy if I had that kind of money! Failing that my cheap snot will have to do!
When I'm super bored, I watch Kat Florence videos on youtube and IG. She's the bling queen.
Her husband seems wacky though
Not to throw shade but I have no idea why she lets him near the business
However, is 'Jedi' becoming a thing with rubies now? It's only been associated with spinel previously. A case of spinel's reputation starting to influence ruby? Or, 'let's not call this stone a hot pink sapphire. Let's call it a Jedi ruby instead'...
Wow. Some stunning rubies on her website:
UNHEATED RUBY
Every Kat Florence piece starts with the rarest and most spectacular jewels. From Kashmir Sapphire to Brazilian Paraiba Tourmaline, our gems are like no others. Chosen for rarity, but also their matchless beauty and quality, Kat Florence jewels are all exceptional.www.katflorence.com

Is that the guy who narrates her videos?
Interesting. It just shows how people are really taking spinel more seriously when it's influencing marketing terms for the corundum gems, however daft they may be...
And this is the rough specimen that it was cut from:
Just OMG...

It looks less red in the video.
