Which stone(s) should I set next?

[fiona00004]

Fire Opal (ring or pendant)


Large Cuprian tourmaline


Color shift spinel or mahenge spinel (ring with enamel by Hollyhague?)



Spess and Paraiba (bypass ring by ???)


Tiny Star ruby, star sapphire into a pendant


Please comment your ideas/suggestions please!!! Thank you!

From the pics, I like the Cuprian tourmaline best so that's what I'd set. In a ring, so I could see it all the time.

I really like the fire Opal as a pendant as a drop to an inverted pear bail of some sort, probably a vivid green cabochon.

Feel free to add pics for inspiration! Thanks!

If I choose the red spinel, maybe this setting with a matching color palette

Similar to your star Ruby and star Sapphire, with a pear and green cabochon on top of the fire Opal, or a round stone.

You simply can't go wrong with any of those stones, imo.

I'd like to see the Paraiba and spess bypass as it's unusual.

Team spess + pt!

I know this isn't a twin ring but just for the orange/blue fun...Winston Candy.

Cuprian tourmaline! It caught my eye immediately. I would love to see what you do with it!

 

[Acinom]

My vote goes to the big fat cuprian in a ring. But with these stones you cannot go wrong. Gorgeous!!

Color shift spinel with blue paraibas in the halo. The neon turquoise color looks great against blue or against purple.

As much as I love your paraiba trillions, I just don't find the spess neon enough or glowy enough to be a good match (I consider myself much more discerning about color than most). In the other examples the tourmalines and the spess were both about the same quality (not top) in terms of color.

What I would personally do, is set the spess and the smaller paraiba trillion as a pendant, and be on the lookout for a more neon, glowy spess in the appropriate size for a bypass ring.

Edit: trust your own eye on this, since perhaps your camera is automatically enhancing the glow of the paraiba so that the photo makes it look much more neon than the spess. If you judge them to be a good match, it's much more important what the naked eye sees than what the camera captures.

Well I think they're all so pretty but I like the fire opal a lot. It looks like a tiny flame.
The pariba is soo beautiful too though.
Hmm tough choice.

Appreciate your input @voce ! My camera always adds more glow than the naked eye to my Paraiba, it's true

So many great choices! I especially love your cabochons, so the star ruby and star sapphire in a pendant or the fire opal in a pendant would be my pick .
