#3 is my pic...

I like 2 if it is really that coral color. I also like 7 and 9. No particular reason for any!

Of the more intense colors #5 (an interesting cut and a nice color), of pastels #1 (my favorite color so...).

I wrote this once already here (in another thread), if you can''t decide on a color, start with those you like the best, out of those see which colors look best on you and out of those see which you like most in the metal you''re thinking of using. Example, you like orange, pink and purple the most, but purple doesen''t look as good on you and you don''t like how orange would look in that perfect yellow gold setting you saw...you''re left with pink. A "simple" game of elimination

Well..if you like blue, either 7 8 or 9. Or if not, then 1
LOL !

Sorry I''m not more help, you have posted a bunch of my fave gems from this vendor!
Thinking about it further, I would hazard that the blue/violet spinels will look closer to the photo colour IRL, so maybe thats a safe bet?

Number 2

My personal favorite is #2! Really can''t go wrong with any of them though, so just buy they all

 

[geckodani]

I like:

#5, #7 and #9 in that order.

 

[Catmom]

I like #5.

 

[purrfectpear]

#2

Thanks everyone!! Keep the opinions coming--- I''m starting to narrow it down. I wish I could buy them all. I really don''t think I can pick just one! I might just have to buy two. I''d love to get three, but you see this could spiral out of control rather quickly. I''d better keep it at two

 

[Kelli]

With your everyone''s help I''ve eliminated numbers 4, 6, and 8. I have a feeling 7 and 9 are soon to follow. #9 is gorgeous but costs more than all the rest, and as gorgeous as those blues are, I keep coming back to look more at 1, 2, 3, and 5.

not smitten with the cooler colors......but much would depend on how you''re going to use the stone: a ring? what type of setting? could make a difference in which i''d select.

Probably a ring. I might not set it/them right away anyway. If I do, it will be in a cheapie gold solitaire setting I buy on ebay. With the warmer colors, I''d go yellow or rose gold, depending on the stone.

 

[laurel25]

I like #5 and #9 in that order. They all look pretty decent though!

 

[Kelli]

I''m down to these four. I put them all next to each other for easier comparing
