Hi all!
As mentioned in a previous thread, I bought this extremely gorgeous neon pink spinel
Actually, I SNATCHED it up (with no regard to my bills and/or being a responsible adult...) I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with it, besides the fact that it will definitely be a ring. It's pretty milky/sleepy/neon so I would like to do it justice with the appropriate setting so it POPS! Measurements are 8.65 x 6.68 x 5.04 mm, 2.56ct and described by Lotus Gemology as a transparent, pinkish-red, vivid saturation, medium tone (if that helps?). I'm in no rush to set it but would love to collect some ideas!
Option 1: I'm very far from creative so I would love to see how you guys would set it!! There are so many beautiful photos floating around here on the forum, so I'd love to see what you all have in mind for my little precious. Disregard my options below and let me know what YOU would do with it!
Option 2: If you're interested in helping me tailor the setting to my preferences... I guess I would describe my taste as being very polished and modern rather than an art deco style. I really don't like heavy bezels and prongs. And want to have as much sparkle on the ring as possible! I was thinking maybe a halo to make the pink really stand out but totally open to alternatives!
My pics (sorry my photos are sucky and only taken in my office lighting)
Videos from the vendor.
Just for lols.... Is anyone else crazy like me???
Paid for the stone... Waited for lab report... Waited for shipping... Supposed to have delivered on Monday, but arrived to FedEx after driver was dispatched.
Delivery scheduled for the next day (signature required) and luckily my s/o was off so it was going to work out perfectly!
S/o left to pick me up for work which takes 10 minutes and THATS when the delivery guy comes.... I'm watching him in my security camera, hoping he will just leave the box like they normally do even with a signature required... No luck.. he leaves with the box and I'm screaming at my phone while watching LOL.
(If we have to pick up packages from the FedEx facility in Hawaii, the timeframe is only between 8-9 PM and its always so crowded & takes them forever to find things.)
Anyway, we're driving home in our complex and the FedEx driver is driving toward us!
Trust & believe I JUMPED out of the car and waved him down like a crazy person.. He thought it was funny and gave me my package, YAY!!!!
As soon as I opened the gem box.... It fell into my couch crevice.... I WAS PISSED.
It fell IN A BOX in the inside of my couch and the crevice was only about 2" and wouldn't budge (wood and all that). FML.....
Luckily I got it out with my aquascaping tweezers (2 hours later), but this is how much the color popped when I was shining the flashlight on it... and I was happy again lol.
