Turn earring stones into ring stones?

[kellyfish]

Hypothetically, could you take a set of earrings like these & make a ring (or 4!) out of the main stones? My latest obsession is rose cuts & am wondering about just looking at old pieces that I may be able to "raid" for a center stone. I'd have to split this pair of earring between several friends (hypothetically, of course!).....

I don''t see why you couldn''t.

How about two rings with floating halos (duh

), another with the two round diamonds as side stones, and a plain pear (with maybe smaller diamonds added into the shank)? Or maybe you could take out the halo of one of the halo rings and use the stones from there for the band, and have the other one be a clean, simple band pear solitaire.

This way there will be at least three different designs, four if you go the latter route.

I was thinking that 2 people may be able to split the set & do rings with the bigger stones and pendants with the smaller ones. You could farm these stones out in a bunch of different ways. I wonder what the actual appraised value of the piece is....word is that this vendor does not have a very good return policy. VERY hard to come by rose cuts, though. I need to quickly inherit some $$$......

Kellyfish, yes, I did this. Used my Grandmother''s ering stone to make one of a pair of earrings, bought a stone to match it and wore these as an earring set for years.

Then, I took both and put them on the side of a slightly larger stone for a 3 stone ring years later.
