The search is on for a nice yellow/goldenish-yellow stone to use in an antique-y white gold delicate halo setting.
One of the cutters I'm in contact with sent me a picture of this chrysoberyl. In our exchange, I described the color I'm looking for as a yellow/goldenish-yellow, NOT a greenish-yellow or a muddy, brown yellow. Admittedly, the description I gave him is vague as it is difficult to put color into words, but he said that he is confident that this rough will make the stone that I need.
I'm a little worried about the color of the rough meeting what I'm looking for. To me, there's a little green in there, especially towards the top.
Attached are a picture of the rough and, for reference, a picture of another pricescoper's chrysoberyl that she deemed too green-toned to work in a white gold setting.
Thoughts on the color of the rough? Thanks!
