Pink stone advice

[amsmeq]

Okay - i love the ring that Isaku5 has posted here

Unfortunately the pink diamond is a little bit outside my budget

I know that you can get pink sapphires but they all seem to be a darker pink.

Is there any other stone that i could get that would provide the same pale pink colour?

pink topaz can come fairly pale and is very inexpensive and you could try pink morganite!
fun!

I second the morganite!

what about pink tourmaline or kunzite? Kunzite might be a bit paler, but I am not sure about it, you have to research it. Pink sapphires can also be lovely too.

From what I've gathered, morganite can be peachy and kunzite can be purplish. I'm looking for a tourmaline or a sapphire myself. Here's a very light pink sapphire, but it appears to have a yellowish inclusion:

Another gem you might want to consider is spinel. Light pink spinel is out there and makes a very lively stone. It would also probably be less expensive than a comparable light pink sapphire. Pastel pink tourmaline would also do the trick, but if you''re looking for fire, you might not be happy. Light pink garnets (grossular) are also a possibility, although these are pretty rare and pricy.

Good luck!!

Are those brown inclusions?

Hi Sophie, Genuine pink topaz is not ''inexpensive.'' In fact it''s very expensive. You are referring to white topaz with a color-coated surface. It''s important to know the difference.

while doing my ''research'' for this project i have discovered Padparadscha sapphires - - LOVE them

- absolutely love the light apricot colour

Would love to have a really really light coloured one set in the above setting

As yet i havent been able to find a pad in the colour that i like but i have found this Imperial Topaz, which is pretty close.

Sorry i cant work out how to attach

Ide love some opinions on this stone in the above setting as i am a little concerned that the colour might be too strong
