I've created a monster! After very much enjoying the spinel ring I gave her bestie now wants to buy a spess.

She'd like a clear bright orange stone about 2 carats. Please help her PSers. I would never buy a spess so I have no idea where I'd buy one or what's a good one.

I'll send her all the links!
 
Fanta orange please!

Round, cushion, oval. Things we can get a stock setting for.
 
The gem traders recent new stones drop had one.

Sold unfortunately!

Do let me know if you guys run into any!

I saw a lovely one already made into a ring but at 7cts it was too big for her. Lol you ladies would have totally rocked it!

I need to send @ChaiK over to slap some sense into her! :lol:

haha yup I have definitely learnt that from you!

You'd be proud today! I wore jeans and giant jade rings to my kid's book parade!

:kiss2::kiss2::kiss2: Two beautiful big flowers. I absolutely love them. So green! And the purple is so lovely. Well, you know me. I would drink up any purple jadeite.
 
I'm sending them all to her. She likes this reddy orange colour and is always buying dresses in that colour. Definately not brown though. I think a bright orange red but not brown.

She likes fanta too. She's into orange :lol:

The colour of an actual orange would be good too.

The root beer brown ones are plain old spessartites, not mandarin or Fanta, so the prices should be very inexpensive. There are coppery colored ones as well, not as dark as root beer brown, almost like a Madeira citrine color.

No, in real life, they are definitely bright reddish orange. I would’ve returned it if it were brown.

I would definitely consider ones from master cut if I were her. They seem amazing in pics and definitely not brown. But not fanta orange at all, so it depends on what OPs friend wants.
 
Can u show her the diff colors and see what calls to her? Or did she already see before deciding on ‘clear bright orange’?

Reference pics would help take some guess work out of this.
 
What a gorgeous heart!!:love:

That’s a Fanta!!!
 
Yes that orange @ChaiK!!! Perfect shade! But only 2 to 3 carats! She isn't used to big honking rings like us :lol:

As asked for, I somehow made a proper photo after 5 shots. :lol-2:

@T L please let us know what we should be looking for by using this as an example. I am still learning and it is much appreciated. (Of course, you don’t have to.)
