Harriet Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,800 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 7/7/2006	I've had these stones for a while. The plan is to set them into earrings. My friend was bored today and did a mockup. Here's goes. "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." (Souren Melikian)

One other idea would be to bezel set it with a round diamond (also bezel set) above. BEG, Charmypoo, Thanks. I tried to persuade Leon to set it in 3 weeks. Of course I got yelled at.

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,318 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	I wouldn't bezel set them, especially as earrings; they just wouldn't sparkle as much after that. And as large as those whoppers are, they don't need it.
