My first colored gemstones!!!!!!!!

[princessplease]

Blue topaz 1.15 ct, IF
Amethyst 1.52 ct, VS
I'm unsure what to do with the amethyst, so suggestions are welcome!
The topaz will be sent to Sally for a lotus

Asscher cuts, which I am IN LURVE with

This was the best pic I could get that represents the true color. Snowy days do NOT make for good pic taking!

The topaz, which I am having set into a sterling lotus after the new year

I wanted to photograph them on white to try and get a good color portrayal.

The colors are really pretty, they actually look really good together!

I''d go with a bezel for the amethyst (either yellow or rose gold, which ever you prefer). It would deepen the color and give it some extra richness.

Nice stones!

Indeed...Might be a consideration for future 3 stone rings.
