Matata Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,647 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 9/10/2003	Katbadness, The pointy end will be toward my neck. I've attached a very crude sketch. This is the first idea that popped into my head. Not very imaginative. The "x" part holding the stones would be gold and thicker than the bezel that would protect the bottom of the tsav -- although if possible, I'd prefer not to have any metal around the bottom. size is 5.2 x 6.2 x 3.2 mm ~~~~~~~~~~ There is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have a clear conscience or none at all.

valeria101 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,048 Last Post: 4/30/2006 Member Since: 8/29/2003	This should be readily feasible with a split bar of metal around the girdle of the tsavo, ending with 'stoppers' just around the corners of the larger sides. I would have the diamond is a simmilar type of setting set articulated (or not, whichever works easier). The plot would much better work in gold - and if it must look like platinum, gray gold does a clas act at that. I assume the diamond is 5 mm diameter and the tsavo I know to be 5.2 x 6.2... am I right? In consequence, the proportions of the piece would turn out differently, and given the comparable weight of the two stones it would be nice to have them set articulated... I suppose.

I'll be taking it to a jeweler as soon as I (1) get the stone (hopefully late next week) and (2) save enough $$ to have it made. ~~~~~~~~~~ There is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have a clear conscience or none at all.

katbadness Cut Rock Total Posts: 459 Last Post: 8/25/2005 Member Since: 1/29/2004	AnA -- super nice design... Are you sure you're not a jeweler of some sort? Matata -- another design thought here.. To make the whole pendant a bit longer is you can add a single melee stone in the middle of the RB and the tsavorite. Either a marquise or small RB, though I think adding a marquise will make for an interesting look. Just my design 2 cts of course. .

Hest88 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,678 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 1/22/2003	Love the shape of that tsavorite and the both the proposed designs are classic and lovely. The first is more ornate, the second more modern, but both would complement the stone very well.
