Hi there,
I''ve posted on the diamond boards quite a bit, but I''ve never posted anything in colored stones!! However, I think you are just the people to ask for this. I am going to try to put together a spessartite garnet (red to red/orange color) three stone ring in white gold with split prongs on the center stone. I am thinking about two options...and you all will have to telll me whether this is impossible or not, so far I haven''t had much luck with my search. I haven''t had trouble finding center stones, but rather the smaller side stones I can''t really find. Ideally, I wouuld like to order something precut rather than getting something custom cut, because I don''t want this ring to get too expensive. Here are my two options, and I''d really be fine with any of these depending on what side stones I could find.
Option 1) Large oval center spessartite garnet about 2 carats, and .25 to .5 half moon sides all similar color.
Option 2) Large rectangular center or cushion center about 2 carats, and .25 to .5 baguette sides all of similar color.
As far as color similarity, I would like it to be pretty similar, but it doesn''t have to be perfect. Also, I would like a decent cut, but factory stones would be fine for the cheaper side stones. I would however, like the side stones have very similar proportions to each other. Thanks for all of your help, I really appreciate it. I don''t think I could find these without you guys.
