Best Lavender Pink Spinel I've seen. What color gold?

[OTL]

It's 3.9ct and definitely the best big lavender pink spinel I've seen. I have been searching for this color for eons!
What color gold would you use for a delicate halo?

Congrats on the find! That is so gorgeous and a great size! Rose gold would intensify the purple in it, white gold would give it a "cooler-toned" appearance?

I'd go with white if that were mine

I'd go with white gold.

Gorgeous! I'd go for white too.

Another vote for white keeping it cool tones.

white!

Cannot go wrong with any colour, but might as well go with white for timelessness + white compliments any diamond accents.

Thanks everyone! White gold it is!

Gorgeous!! Congrats!

Rose or white gold, but I think it would look more elegant in white. What is the country of origin?

 

[distracts]

I was thinking 14k rose or 18k yellow... White wasn't even on my radar until I scrolled down.

I'd go for white gold as well. Your spinel is beautiful! It has a kunzite type color that I don't think I've ever seen in a spinel.

It's Tanzanian

That's exactly what I'm after! A Kunzite color spinel

I wish next I can find an light Amythest color spinel someday

OTL, you should have a look at Kosner Gem Company on Etsy. They have the biggest variety of purple, amethyst looking spinels I've seen. You did hit the nail on the head with the kunzite looking spinel.

I did last year, and frankly I'm happy I didn't just hit buy it now
I asked for a video of a dreamy purple spinel. It's a big disappointment , it's so much different from their photo.
Here is the vendor phot and video screenshot for comparison.

White gold would be the perfect complement to complete the look.

Wow! That spinel looks nothing like the one in the video.

Yes! So I'd suggest others who is reading this thread to watch out when buying from them.
Request a video or even stay away.

OTL, so what did you decide on for a setting? Do you have a design in mind?

It'll just be a single halo, like the tiffany pear halo.
