Morganite ring

[radiantquest]

Morganite is natural, non-treated, very clean VS/VVS. fancy round cut. Approx. 1.5ct. The setting is 14k rose gold, diamonds H-SI, TDW approx. 0.15ct.

What do you think?

It has a good price and I want all your wisdom before I send $

Here is another picture of it. This photo seems a little bit lighter.

The ring looks very pretty, but I would be majorly put off by the really big window in the stone. That plus it being so close to flesh tone might make the whole thing much less impressive on the hand. Do you have any handshots?

I'm not liking the window either, but I think the color and setting are very pretty. Windows don't bother me much if they are symmetrical. Weird, I know.

It is a lovely design and I think the window might just be a tilt window. However, I agree that the color is too close to flesh to have a contrast. The metal color may overwhelm the center stoen as well.

Hi radiantquest! It's a pretty design - I like the delicate shank with diamonds and the rose gold. The morganite seems like a typical commercial quality stone however, and I don't think that's just a tilt window. Do you know the mm dimensions of the morganite? If the price is good enough, you could buy it for the setting and possibly have the stone replaced. Keep in mind however, that doing so will probably require having new seats cut in the prongs, and the old seats filled, at the very least.

I like the setting, not a fan of the stone. Like everyone has said it has a very apparent window. If the price is right, go for it!

I, as well, like the setting but I'm not a fan of the stone. It has a window and appears to be very pale and flesh toned.

Here is a hanshot picture. I think that it is really pretty and I honestly didnt expect top noth quality for the price that the seller is requesting.

I am curious though, what price would you guys consider a good price for this ring?

I could build that ring with an LOGR and that quality morganite for around $200 tops. The stone is lacking color and has a huge window.

It looks almost colourless in the last hand shot.

$150. I don't mean to be insulting if it is more expensive. It looks like a fairly lightweight setting, and the morganite at even at retail cost should still be rather inexpensive. I suppose though that setting costs could change that number some depending on your area.

Thank you. I am going to tell the seller that after speaking to "my jewelers" the piece is not worth the money.

PS strikes again! Stopping another bad purchase. Thanks again!
