Anyone have this combo? My gf was looking at a morganite combo like this at the mall near home and she liked it a lot but we are thinking moissanite is probably a better choice if the stone looks soft and not like rock candy.

She is on board with the moissanite idea, we are thinking 6-7.5 mm center cushion or old European cut with a halo of clear stones and some on the band, a antique looking setting that has some thickness to it to support her size 10 finger.

She isn't opposed to white gold but we thought the rose and morganite looked really vintage and pretty together.

What's my best bet price wise? I'm on a tight budget, would I be better off ordering a pp moissanite stone now and shop for settings local or second hand? Help please, I have never shopped for jewelry before. Haha

Sorry if this is hard to read, my moms iPad likes to change words on me

One person here does had a peachy pink in rose gold, but I can never find the thread... It looks beautiful though. Very warm and glowy and feminine.

ha, found it!

Jcent: How come the peachy pink in your attached pic doesn't seem as pink as cupcake?

A few things to consider... One, every batch that was sent in was a little different. The company that does it is not able to make it the exact same every time. Two, coloured stones in general are very difficult to photograph. Getting the colour to match what you see in real life is almost impossible. There have been a few pics whee I have got it pretty close, but generally, they are all off a bit. Different lighting plays a huge part, my stones can range from pale blush pink to a deeper salmony shade, all depending on the lighting. It is moissanite, after all. The colour is moody. And mine is in platinum, so there is a much more noticeable contrast between the stone and metal.

darker pink


paler


and really, neither are 100% accurate, lol.

this is maybe what I see the most

I like the last pic the best! So peachy and rainbowy..

Oh, and Happy Birthday, Jcent

Yayyyy!!!! Every time I see your beautiful ring Jcent, I drift off into peachy pink wonderland. Lol although...... I am really second guessing the gold decision now. I think I like your contrast, for me, better jcent. Off to email Poppyseed!!! Lol

Thanks Kat.

lol btrflai, best to figure it out now.

I prefer the peachy pink in white metal as it seems to get a bit washed out in the rose gold...or at least it appears so in the pics.

As for a setting, you might have a difficult time finding something local and probably impossible to find rose gold setting just like you want second hand.

I would recommend working with some of the vendors here or consult some local jewelers about doing the ring custom. Most people think custom = BIG BUCKS but that's not always the case. Sometimes custom is much less than retail. If the setting you want is a stock setting somewhere it may be able to be made in rose gold as well.

wow thanks all,
and I apologize for double posting here and on wedding-bee forums

All are very nice and I will think it over carefully, the only consern I have is I feel like these rings are all a lot smaller then size 10, I worry that if they tried to make it in size 10 it would look a little odd being a thin band?



also what is more special or more precious, that natural sapphire or a peachy pink moissanite?

The way I see it the Moissanite is gorgous but lab made, and while worth the money might not have a resale value or long term value, while the natural sapphire is super pretty, but again, I have seen sapphires online for really cheap and I wonder if it's "special" enough.



I need something unique, beautiful and precious like my girlfriend, all for around $1500 lol



also, why doesn't anyone like my rose gold setting with "chocolate" diamond idea?

too weird?
