Help needed with new diamond jewelry project

[swingirl]

Years ago I began collecting diamonds from WF and BGD for a 5 stone ring. I finally purchased enough stones to get the project started only to realize I wanted something different and ended up buying additional stones in different sizes.

So I am left with several diamonds and no planned project. I need help with ideas of what to do with them. PSers are so creative. I turn to you wonderful people for suggestions to get these beauties out of my safety deposit box and into a piece of jewelry. I love bezels.

I don’t think I want studs. I am afraid of loosing them.

I have a pendant with my original 0.4 ct stone.

No more rings. My new 5 stone is probably my last ring project.

Stone specs—
Round 0.315ct, 0.351ct, 0.342ct.
Princess 0.57ct (I bought this with no project in mind. I just liked it)

I would consider adding my pendant stone or purchasing some additional smaller stones but I prefer to use my budget for the metal and not more stones.

Any and all suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Anyone? Ideas?

Use them in a cuff or bangle bracelet? Perhaps something like this bracelet by Jewels by Grace that was given as a door prize at the Pricescope get-together in Vegas:



I know you said no more rings, but... the same concept would look cool as a ring made to be worn on the index finger!

I like the bangle idea!! Thanks. I could have one side with the round and the other side with the princess!! Good use of the princess since I have only one of those.

Any progress on "project leftover diamonds"?

I still like the bangle idea although that would only use up 2 stones. I also thought of DBTY necklace but 3 stones is not enough and these almost seem too large for a necklace. I cannot find any examples of 0.30 ct stones on a necklace unless it's a single pendant.

I was hoping for some ideas that I hadn't thought of yet.

You could do that style, with a twist, using all four diamonds. Put the princess on one side, set on the diagonal. Put the three rounds on the other side, set in a triangle (shared bezel) with the triangle pointing towards the opening. You'd probably need a shared prong in the center of that diamond cluster...

I just read this. Wow! That's a wonderful idea. I didn't think of anything asymmetrical.

This weekend I tried on a bangle (all the standard ones are too big) and will need something oval and smallish. Maybe hinged to be able to get it tight enough to not bounce around. I wonder how I do that with an internet vendor. I need to pursue this and figure out what this would cost. Putting all the stones together would give me one piece and no more loose stones around the house.

Thank you for your creativity.

What about a Y necklace with the princess as the dangling bit, the smaller of the 3 rounds at the connecting point, and the other two on each side. Like this (sorry for bad artwork). You can do thin dbty style bezels on all of them?But it would be more unique than regular dbty.
I really like the asymmetrical bangle idea too though.

What about a bangle but using three stones. Use the Princess in the center, flanked by the two rounds closest in size like this bangle:

I do have to say I like the setting the princess on its side idea.

Or in something like this with all of the stones you have;

Someone also has a version of the above bangle that is a bracelet with link chain that moves around like a DBTY style chain but with several stones bezelled to sit across the top of your wrist in it. I can't find pics of it but I think another P/S member owns it....
