Newbie needs a gorgeous pink cushion cut stone

[loveloveloveit]

Hi everyone,

I''m not really sure where to start, but I am after an approximately 7mm x 6mm cushion cut pink stone. I want a slightly softer pink, maybe a tourmaline, and I want to set it like an engagement ring prong setting which I hope to later replace with a diamond, perhaps once the stone has worn etc. I want to make it into a beautiful setting though. I would love a 3 ct however that would mean I may never be able to replace it with a diamond. Anyone have any suggestions where to start? I hope to set it into a delicate setting similar to one of the new Erica Grace designs ...

Bob Kast cuts quite a lot of cushions and tourmalines. Ask him.

thanks tourmaline_lover, can anyone give me insight into the types of stones that come in a medium pink hue? tourmaline''s I think do, spinels and sapphires, rose quartz ... is there anything else specifically I should look into? thanks a bunch

Loveloveloveit,

I would have a look at Gemnut''s (Weblorn''s) stones. She has a good reputation, just remember to mention you are a Pricescope member.
