Neon colored melee?

[lovedogs]

Does anyone have pics of neon gems as melee stones? Thinking about paraiba, "jedi" spinel", tsav or dematoid garnet, etc. I'm in the early stages of planning a project and trying to figure out if the neon colors would show in small sizes (likely 2-3mm), or if they'd get washed out, in which case I'd want to go with diamonds.
Thanks!

Oh gosh. The show me your YR thread is rampant of sub 3mm bright if not neon stones.

The teeny demantoids I have from her at 1.25, 1.5 and 1.7mm (and only two of each on the ring) really pack a punch.

It’s a lovely thread to gaze at.

Interested to see where this project takes you!

And how is your gorgeous RA ring and your carre ring doing?!?!?!?!?

I have a ring from Yvonne with small demantoids. They’re 1.25mm in her sunflower ring. They are tiny, but you can still see them. 2-3mm would definitely pop!

I've had tiny little hauynes and little jedi spinels and they were show stoppers even in the tiny sizes. I say go for the neon!

Here are two not from Yvonne. One has paraiba and diamonds, so you can see the comparison, and the other has spinel.

I LOVE these! Can I ask where they are from?

Your spess ring is just !!!

Honestly I am considering selling the DK carre ring. The RA ring was such a complete surprise, and now I pretty much only wear that if I'm going to wear a 5-stone. But both are lovely so I'm still indecisive!

I LOVE these! . Can I ask where they are from?

Thank you! The pairaba & diamond halo is from Aurosi on etsy. I provided him with the paraiba. Center is a spinel from NatureDeColours on iG.

Loliondo spess is from Tucson via DesertRose, set by Nancy Jain on etsy.

www.multicolour.com has nice melee - https://www.multicolour.com/calibrated.html

There is a auction group on Facebook I've ran into that has a lot of melee for good openers - https://www.facebook.com/groups/FFGACA/

I recently picked this up from Yvonne, and my goodness the paraiba melee absolutely pops.


I was inspired to get it after seeing my friend who has a pair of earrings with tiny paraiba melee in them. I was surprised how noticeable they were.

Lovely! Do you remember how small the outside paraibas are? I *think* for the project I'm considering 3mm will be too big, so they might need to be closer to 1.75 or 2mm, which I'm even more nervous will be too small.

Here’s a picture of my purple garnet and demantoid sunflower ring. It was taken in a light box, so the lighting was ideal, but you can still get an idea of how the tiny 1.25mm demantoid show up. If I have another ring made with CS melee I will go bigger for more impact!

@lovedogs I know you didn't ask me, but my paraiba are only 1.3mm.

Also, I am a total liar. My spess is set with sapphires.

Thanks for sharing! How big are the sapphires? I feel like they pack SUCH a punch!

Well, my daughter took it. It's her favorite. I'm sure it's in a pile of crap in her room.

The spess is 9.3x7.2 so you can do the math. I could, but I'm 10000000% sure I'd be wrong.

Outer ring of paraiba is 1.5 mm!
