Pics of my 5.47ct Morganite~Setting ideas?

[JenniferB]

Arrived via FedEx yesterday!!! Here are the specs I have:

Color: AAA Champagne Pink
Weight: 5.47cts
Clarity: IF
Treatment: None
Type: Natural
Shape: AAA Oval Cut
Size: 13.01x10.34x7.23mm
Luster: Sparkling
Origin: Brazil

I really want to set this like Katie Holmes engagement ring...or maybe more familiar to PSer''s ThreepWood''s ring! - ThreepWood, please post your ring pics in here if you stop by.....!!! Does anyone have any recommendations for a jeweler that can do this affordably....or does anybody have any better ideas? Also - any gem-experts in here - does this seem like an okay stone?

Pic of the bottom (sorry about grubby finger prints and dust particles...)

Pic showing relative size on hand...

 

[JenniferB]

One more showing facets...

As for the color IRL it is pretty close to the first pic I posted...(this taking pictures of gems free of fingerprints, dust, and true color is nearly impossible!)

 

[JenniferB]

And this is what I want to do with it, with pink diamonds or pink sapphires, and rose gold, white gold and white pave diamonds....is that the accurate description of KH's ring?

ETA: Btw, does *anybody* else have questions about her center stone? I mean IS it a morganite or some other more precious gem...? I mean, imho, it doesn't look like a diamond??? I have not seen one pic where it shines...ever....Even on the first day they announced their proposal - assuming it got clouded with Suri's formula etc, lol?!?!

woah!! that is a corker of a stone, really stunning. can''t wait to see how you''re going to set it. is it going to be a RHR?

 

[JenniferB]

Po, yes, I think so. Right now I have been wearing my e-ring on my right hand and my wedding ring on my left, because they are both three sided I can feel them grating against each other if I wear them together (my DH thinks I am making this up and it''s all in my head, but I swear its not!). For my one yr anniversary, (Nov.) I want to reset the e-ring with a halo (such the debate for me right now). Then, for a RHR the above pics. I don''t have any pink stones on rings - so I am really excited about this and hope I can find a jeweler that can do a great job for a great price...!

 

[Harriet]

Exactly what I have in mind! Where is it from?

 

[JenniferB]

SincereGem(s)...I am taking it (along with few other pieces) to be appraised this weekend. This stone I think I will just ask him to guarantee it is what they say it is, and if not, I will be sending it back! They do full refunds if you''re not satisfied and no "restocking fee" - which, imho, is how some of these places make their money...that and shipping charges...

 

[Harriet]

Thanks! I''ll look them up. Are they online?

 

[Harriet]

Darn you Jennifer, you got the last one.

Check this one out:

[JenniferB]

Gorgie! And huge!

I''m sure they will get more....it seems like one of those sites where right after you buy the stone, it seems as if there is one better a day later...!

Check this one out if you don''t mind heat treatment:

That looks like a very light pink diamond to me actually.

A six carat morganite in that setting style you adore from Katie Holmes.

Even though I am not a huge fan of lighter pink stones, this one is very pretty! The only morganite I have seen is on JTV - so I have no feel for what is "good" and not. But I do like yours! Congrats!

I did! Her ring is just beautiful!

 

[isaku5]

Absolutely beautiful, Jennifer!!! Have you had it set yet?

 

[monarch64]

That''s a beautiful stone! Congrats! I think it would look lovely in a halo, or even sans halo, claw prongs and a pave''d split shank!
