Turn it red and you'll double it again. Large rubies are very valuable.

Ha ha, Elspeth! Very clever...
Funny how many of us want to change the already existing jewellery pieces. Though these have been made by the most skilled designers and goldsmiths. I think most of them are already at their best and can't be improved. And of course this is just my humble opinion. Amethysts of good strong and purplish colour were higlhly expensive stones at a time when it was found basically in Siberia. The prices collapsed when the larger deposits where found in Brazil. No matter what the prices are amethysts are pretty otherwise too and might carry some message in "the language of gemstones". I think they could be worn during the half mourning. The problem with Lukes idea with the large pear cut sapphires is that it is economically most wise to cut the crystals in the cushion shape (see for example Leuchtenberg sapphire parure or other large sapphires) while the pear form would be quite unusual and waste good material. And to find this big rubies. Quite impossible. And never in pears... |

I love those amethyst (my birthstone) jewels.
Sapphires - what about yellow or pink? Would be very modern. |

"I love those amethyst (my birthstone) jewels."
I had no idea amethyst was a birthstone. I thought it was just a substitute for Alexandrite because Alexandrite is so rare. |
