Wards say they are exceedingly rare and expensive. However as I call in there, I know that they have much more variety than shown online, so I would phone them. 020 7253 4036.Quote:

Thank you Dennis, I did call them they don't have any purple in 3mm round but I got them to send me green ones to view, and a purple synthetic they had but it's very pale! I will try them thanks [emoji5]

I had a look at Marcia Lanyon last night but they are upgrading their website so you will need to phone them too
You could also try RM Weare http://www.richardweare.co.uk/coloured.html
I called them but they only have green, thank you :) I spoke to someone at May Gems who had one and was going to email me pictures but I'm still waiting...Quote:

Yes I think some are more vibrant than others though, one I have been sent a photo of is much more striking than the ones wards have sent me

Just to conclude this incase it's helpful to anyone the one I got from May Gem's is lovely but also expensive! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...f54ccfa756.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...40fd65002d.jpg
