Oh no - not another Malaya!!

[mochi]

TL I do like the setting that you showed. I adore solitare settings.

It''s simple, but now I''m rethinking more rose gold after I saw the picture posted above.

 

[Cind11]

Oh, I love your Malaya too. That setting in rose gold someone posted is gorgeous!

Thanks Mochi!!

I dropped it my white gold LOGR and it did nothing for the stone, so I guess I''ll have to wait for a rose gold setting. I like the one mochi got for her peach tourmaline.

So you bought the lighter one. The darker one just sold recently. So what''s the difference between 14k and 18k rose gold as far as color goes?

14K is more coppery, and I''m not sure if that might be too much. I like the more subdued rose gold, like the setting posted on the previous page. I think that''s probably 18K.

Thanks Linda, thanks Freke, thanks Gailey, and thanks to anyone I forgot to thank!

All three of my BB garnets together. Umbalite is the darkest, followed by the one I got today and my all time favorite is still the oval.

 

[mochi]

I still love the oval the best, although the others are very pretty.

I have to say that the oval is a very special stone to me. I can''t wait to get it set. Barry used that oval for his studies. I''m surprised he parted with it.

Lovely stone - if it turns out half as nice once set, it''ll be beautiful!

TL... just playing with my LOGR setting...white gold and malaya

So in honour of everyone''s Malaya, here''s a little setting I found from Krikawa that I think will set the Malayas off very nicely.

DROOL!!!

 

[AmberGretchen]

LOVE LOVE LOVE - I really MUST get myself one of these beauties

 

[T L]

I love it in there. Yours must be more of a true pink without much peach at all. I put mine in my halo LOGR (you know, the one I''ll never ever get a gemstone to fit in), and it darkened up and got muddy. Perhaps because that is also like a bezel. I just thought, bleah!!

I really like your stone in the "spider setting" though. It''s gorgeous Mochi. Are you going to set it in there, or is that saved for something else (I forget).

 

[innerkitten]

It looks nice in that setting. Mine seems looks nice next to white gold too. When I put it next to yellow gold it looses some of the pink and looks sort of mauve. I don''t have any rose gold to hold it next too.

Put it next to a shiny copper penny, that will give you an idea.

Yes, my malaya is more pink. I also have that setting that I''ll never get the gemstone for and indeed the malaya got muddy and "yuck". I think this particular stone is for prongs. The spider setting was bought pretty cheap via auction and I don''t have a stone for it yet. Unfortunately, it''s too small for the malaya.

I''m having the ''do I want to spend alot on setting'' dilema right now...

I would say we both have "rose" colored Malayas, what do you think? Maylas can be more pink, more orange, somewhere in between. Too bad it doesn''t fit that setting. You were really lucky to win it on auction, it''s over $400 now in his BuyItNow listings. Can your jeweler make it fit somehow?

I agree with the ''rose'' color. I''m in bed playing with the setting and the malaya and it''s definitely way too big for the setting. The round chrysoberyl from Barry (6.2mm??) fits really well and it looks like a yellow diamond, it''s kindda pretty.

I can''t believe how he has raised the prices on the rings..

 

[babysteps]

I LOVE this malaya, it looks a little more pinkish berry-toned than your oval but both are stunning! And it will be fun to have the variations in color, I can''t wait to see them both set.

 

[misspinky]

Very pretty!

 

[mochi]

TL...this is my malaya in the 8x8 LOGR. Not too nice.

Lovely stones! The oval is my favorite too. Man, it''s Malaya Times on PS!
