What color melee

[GLbluegreen]

I recently became the owner of this pretty stone from Desert Rose Gems. I need help in trying to figure out what color melee would look best with it. Could I get some ideas? I have some moonstone melee but I just need some more good ideas or to know what you think of moonstone with it? It will be for a ring.

So pretty! I always love the color combo of this vivid aqua with a bright Pepsi can blue. I'm currently thinking about setting my colbalt spinel with paraibas, but you've reminded me of this gorgeous option too!

Of course there are a million other combos too. I'm sure you will land on something.

Lovely stone, thanks for sharing!

Green and pink for me, and I would opt for Rose Gold with pink melees such as Tourmaline or Spinel.

I think vivid pink spinel or cobalt blue would be amazing

I think I would try to find the right medium-tone blue, not vivid, probably sapphire.

I like all the above but also moonstones would be a very pretty, ethereal combination.

Was waiting for you, @voce -- glad you chimed in!

Call me crazy but I think diamond.

Thanks for the helpful comments everyone. I also have some Hauyne melee but have been saving that for another project with a Pariba. I was even thinking possibly a medium lilac melee for the Kornerupine. Thoughts ?

Love that idea.
This is the closest pic I could find of what that color combo might look like. The green melee on the corners aren't exactly the same colors as your kornerupine but are close, but there's blue, pink, and lavender gems in the same ring, for a visual reference. I originally posted the layout in my Voce's Ramblings thread and the Show Me Your Paraibas thread if you want to search for better pictures of this ring/layout.

I think a medium lilac would be gorgeous. That would likely be my choice, but there are so many colors that would work well. Have fun imagining all the beautiful options!
