I really needed a colored stone project like a hole in the head. Really. But I ''vewanted to see a Barry Bridgestock oval for a long time. And a neat color. And I''ve kinda wanted bluishgreypurple spinel since I saw a lovely one at work. I''m sure the color is nothing special for a spinel, but I like grey and purple tones- purer blues are not my thing. (I''m hoping it isn''t too blue for me- I don''t think so though.)
However. What the heck do I do with it now???
I''m guessing it''s gonna sit in my jewelry box for some time no matter what, but I should, yanno, eventually do something with it! I''m thinking necklace, because I have a hard enough time choosing what I''m gonna wear on my right hand already! I''m not a fan of plain solitaire type necklace settings, on me anyway.
So, anybody got any ideas for setting a 1.59 carat 8x6ish Barry Bridgestock supernova oval cut spinel? That wouldn''t break the bank, hopefully, either. But, really, it was such an impulse purchase I''m pretty much fresh out of ideas, so fire away
First colored stone purchase, for me. On purpose anyway! (Erm, I had my favorite bench guy destroy a larger antique cut amethyst a month or so ago, to get it out of the cool platinum setting it was in, so I could put my OEC diamond in there- is that colored stone heresy?
