Hi Sharon,
I like the spinel''s colour, but not the spessartite''s (the brown secondary).

 

[marcy]

Hi Sharon, I love the spinel and agree the spessartite is a little brown. They both look like sparklers though.

HI:

Thanks peoples. I must admit I was not struck by the brown--maybe it is my monitor? Kinda yummy tho.....

cheers--Sharon

 

[IAmFeralCat]

I vote YES for the spinel! That is the yummiest shade and the cut gives it a lot of sparkle.

 

[BlueJeans]

Spinel!!!! Love that cut!

 

[Ellen]

That Spinel is delish.

HI:

I am thinking and thinking....it really looks fine. Thing is I already have a sapphire cut in the same shape (a bit larger) set in a ring and I would want this also for a ring; having the same shape weighs on me.....

cheers--Sharon

 

[Linda W]

Sharon,

Do you own any spinel? If not I would get it, just to own a spinel.

That is just me though.

Linda

 

[chrono]

Oh, bummer. I know. I would not want to get another ring with the same shape too, in particular, for a trilliant.

 

[Linda W]

Sharon,

How about setting it for a pendant?

HI Linda:

Actually "not yet"--and I KWYM about having a spinel...more than just a little temptation there!!!!! And I think it would be perfect for a pendant, but honestly I just forget to put them on and ususally have a long heavy chain.....not to mention we live 6 months of the year where our "neck" are covered by sweaters!!!!!!!!!!!!

cheers--Sharon

HI:

Yes, considering I tried to buy that bubble gum pink sapphire during AC Gems sale last year (boohoo

gone to good home elsewhere) and it was also a trilliant! Trilliants galore!

cheers--Sharon

Sharon, maybe since you are having some days where u miss a rb, you should look for a colored stone in s round shape. Even though the rb you found sounds like a great size and stone to fit the bill

(in another thread)


I understand where you are coming from re the RB. I just reset my rb for those days when I feel more round than radiant....



MHO, but i do prefer colored stones in different shapes...

Actually, I was picturing it embedded in a semi wide, smooth cuff. But it could really be whatever you like, that will work practically speaking.

 

[Linda W]

GREAT IDEA ELLEN!!!! Leave it to you to come up with an idea like that!!!

That would be beautiful Sharon.

HI:

hahahahahhaa Ellen Nah, nothing so ominous; I haven''t been around much, and if I do I don''t check all forums. I of course adore cuffs, but suspect a stone of this size would get lost in the bracelet. So I''ll tkae part of your suggestion and just GET A GOLD CUFF.

I cannot decide on this stone at any rate.....

cheers--Sharon
