Show me your under 1ct gemstones!

Beautiful additions! I have been perusing the threads archive looking for some inspiration and there are so many smaller gemstones. I might add some as I come across them.

For now here is an earlier thread on the same topic!

While all of us can appreciate a big, multi-carat, doorknob-sized gemstone, sometimes we're in the mood for something a little more bite-sized. Whether it's due to budget or just preferring something daintier, smaller stones can still have a BIG impact when the color really pops.

So please, share your beloved gems that are in that fun space between melee and chonker! How do you set a smaller stone to really make it shine? Let's show that size isn't everything

Here are some of mine!


Sleepy unheated ruby and a hot pink winza sapphire.


Greenish paraiba tourmaline and a russian demantoid.


Benitoite, cobalt spinel, and hauyne.


Little collection of grandidierite.


And the newest addition. A purple pink diamond pear.


And a glamor shot of the crew

How about you all? What do you have that's small and mighty?

And another older thread of smaller gemstones.

The green stone was sold to me as a tsavorite garnet by a local jeweler going out of business.....gemstone vendor at Scott’s Antique Market told me dermatoid. Any ideas?
The sapphire is a itty bitty Kashmir cushion.. when I purchased the ring the date 1915 was engraved inside the shank,
when I received it the date had been polished out !!!!!!

Gorgeous every time I see it! And If I’m correct, you designed it (looks just like an Art Deco ring).
