The photo makes it look a little bit darker than it does in person. I think I need to do a good outdoor photo shoot. I'd like to put it into a ring but I'm not quite sure what type of setting would look good. I'd consider a simple solitaire type setting but I'm not sure if it would look good alone or not? Also if I did get accent stones I'm not sure if it would be best with small diamonds or small colored stones. Any ideas. I like simple settings.

With a stone that large and that pretty, accent stones who need em?? ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

I think the model below came from Peter Indorf (LINK) but I would not bet - it just happens to be one of the rings I tried on (a yellow gold version) and regret not to have Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen."

But they must be real carbon with life. You may need to take into account your physique, or maybe that of the ring finger. On a really skinny person, young or old, a simple sapphire by itself might work. On a long finger, you may wish to lengthen the look of the jewelry along the direction of the finger. With a fatter finger, you may wish to enhance a small stone with diamonds so that the size of the jewel piece looks just right with the finger itself. Then also there's the image side. Perhaps a lady wants to project an aura of class. Diamonds would help. To be fashionable, add in tiny red and/or green stones.
