Hi Everyone,
I found this forum while looking for info about pink tourmalines (for a birthstone ring for my baby born in October) and got totally sidetracked by all the gorgeous hot pink mahenge spinels that everyone has. Luckily, I have a birthday coming up! My husband wants to gift me with one so I figured I'd emerge from lurkdom and ask for help.
I have a budget of 1k but I know I am several years late on this train, so I assume that my options will be limited. I'm looking for a small ring size stone (maybe 1 to 1.5 ct?), symmetrical cut if possible, hot pink (not red), and I'm ok with orange modifiers. I don't need precision cut or totally eye clean, although I do like precision cut and I would be ok with a smaller precision cut one (if I could even find one). I do want the stone to have the bright neon-y mahenge look if possible.
I've looked through the preferred vendors list but I haven't really found much. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions (specific gems to look at or else people to contact). Thanks!
p.s. I did manage to get a pink tourmaline from Barry Bridgestock and I love it. These colored stones are addictive though!
