The reason I ask is that I have found a pedestal that tells me that I dont have the correct item to activate. I had all 5 at the time.

Just saying!

Initiate's Ewer, do you have it?

And it looked exactly the same as the device you put the Paragons in? If it was in the Sanctuary it is the ewer as Zexis0710 said. Mind you the Emerald Paragon was a bit of a waste, you could reach that area from the Sanctuary Balcony.

Also i find it odd that there is a paragon for every gem in the game EXCEPT for Garnet...i think there is a 6th one we have not found

They have ruby, they would not have two the same colour.

Doesnt matter, it is not the color but the gem itself

...ancient falmer crown anyone???

What of it? It is available to console commands on the PC apparently
If you mean that may be how to get it then yeah...i had that thought all through the beta...never found it though

And the hunt begins...

Sorry if I wasn't clear there...I was thinking more along the lines of an Auriels shield deal. Reachable area only with a paragon. There HAS to be another paragon...you raise a great point with the gems.

I just think it would be terrible if we weren't able to get it as it was cut, and see everyone on the pc have it with console commands.

I cant really see a viable reason as to why it would be cut. I mean it is the last piece a unique armor set. What possible explanation could there to be as to omit 1 helmet? I think it is in the game...just have to find that paragon
