Here is my very first gemstone project. The thread on the stone is here.
I definitely think the YG bezel helped the color a lot (compare to the photos in the original thread), and also made it look much bigger than I expected. I don't know why it looks so windowed in some of the pictures -- maybe because they are at a slight angle? I had quite a bit of trouble getting good shots, but here's what I've got so far. It also looks quite blue in the pictures. The YG definitely makes it look more blue overall, and it was getting some extra help from my blue shirt. It is still a little greener in natural light.
This just gives an idea of scale...
