Help!!!
I'm still on the fence about keeping the Umbalite Garnet e Jeff Davies... It looks great when some light hits it, but dead as a door nail at other times...

Any suggestions on where to find a decent priced ($300) nearly 10mm
Umbalite or Rhodolite? I don't want to pay thousands of dollars?

Thank you!!

Alas, this is a problem I've found with larger umbalite/rhodolite garnets...even well cut ones. I much prefer their smaller siblings.

I hear you!! If my fingers weren't so short and stumpy, I'd look at smaller stones...

I'm looking for a red spinel.

On the hunt for a cobalt spinel with good cutting. But will need to sell a stone or two to pay for it haha

Neons! All neon, all the time. I'm looking for 1+ ct neon stones in any category. I have a few neon stones but I want all the colors so I can make a neon cluster ring.

I'm also always looking for the perfect chrysoberyl & I'd love a demantoid.

Generally, I'm always looking for brightly colored stones because pastels don't suit me.

However, I need to be looking for settings for my millions of loose stones!!

Pretty much the same with me! except demantoid is a bit too soft for us.

Chrysoberyl is so hard to get for the top quality.

 

[PreRaphaelite]

I need a rose cut, 9.5mm by 11.5mm (ish) for a ring (looking at galaxy salt/pepper diamonds as well as labradorite), and a 6-6.5mm round for a pendant (thinking tourmaline or spinel).

I’m currently in search of a special little sapphire to use as a center for a ballerina ring. Im hoping that the vendor that I want to work with will come across the perfect rough to cut my dream stone. I’m trying to be patient and hold out for at least a few more months but at the same time I’m feeling super frustrated with my stalled project and desperately searching Instagram and every vendor that I know of for something that speaks to me. No luck so far so if anyone comes across anything spectacular please let me know. Looking for 5.5- 7mm ish yellow, orangy yellow, brownish orange, orangy red, or similar colored sapphire or possibly spinel. Squarish or cushion. A unique sapphire with vintage Art Deco vibes.

I am looking for a pinkish red or reddish pink spinel. Unfortunately, lots of stunning spinels shown on Instagram are from overseas vendors; even if some offer friendly return policies, the return shipping still deters me from buying.

I am also looking for a pair of emerald studs or a pair of emerald for studs.

I know what you mean, I have trays of loose stones and no settings

Trying to avoid that by actively setting when I can… seeing all the loose stones do help curb my impulse to buy… a bit anyway…

The problem for me is that I LOVE gemstones but I don't enjoy looking for settings at all.

Another stone I'm looking for is a gorgeous, large gem silica!

Is there a particular shape or size you are looking for for your spinel? I just came across something this morning that is from a US vendor and pinkish red

I am looking for a pinkish red or reddish pink spinel.

Atwater, what about this Bright pink spinel, 1.25ct, 6mm from R. Dery? (It was incorrectly listed as a pink sapphire until I wrote them a couple days ago.)
Over $4000.

sapphire... for a ballerina ring... 5.5- 7mm ish yellow, orangy yellow, brownish orange, orangy red... Squarish or cushion

Mjay, what about Earth's Treasury for yellow/orangey sapphires? They have a couple dozen. I took a screenshot of some nice ones that fit your parameters. The link above goes to my search results. Best of luck with your hunt.

really nice pair of citrine earrings... well cut and not brown

KLC, RubyLane often has citrine earrings, mostly vintage/antique. I don't know your tastes, but here is a screenshot of some non-brownish ones I found. I wish you luck with your search.

Why did I post this thread? Now I am looking for a opalescent sapphire!!! lol
Shame on you enablers!

I saw an opalescent sapphire on Master Cut Gems. Keep in mind that none of the sapphires are heat treated. Here's the link:

I’m casually looking for a violet sapphire. You know… one that’s the color of amethyst. Knowing myself, I love searching more than finding

 

[CMN]

Blue sapphire (with violet modifier), traditional 1.5:1 (chubby) ratio, pear cut, +5ct….so hard to find or even commission.

I'm looking for a bright orange stone, either a Fanta colored Spess or a bright orange fire opal. Has to be round and near 6.08 x 3.68 to fit into my Calla ring setting.
