My first colored stone purchase!

So excited to finally be able to post something of my own! I purchased this 5.95ct. blue-green tourmaline from Wink back in Jan. I'm going to set it in a ring but have been trying to decide what kind of setting to go with. I know I don't want a pave encrusted setting since I have a pave wedding set. I sent an email to Leon Mege so we'll see what comes of it. I have a few ideas that I will post. Anyone have any design inspiration to share?

The settings you have as examples are beautiful, can't go wrong with either one. Do you like split shanks? This thread has a pretty setting and you can omit the pave diamonds from the shank. http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=55054

Green with Envy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 767 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 6/25/2007	That is a good sized rock! It seems like you are drawn to the side stone look rather than the beautiful example of the aqua split shank solitaire. Both would look great- you could go either way- but i love the choices you have selected. I am no expert so others should chime in- but with your stone dimensions- you might not see much of the band anyways. you should take some hand shots of your stone between your fingers to get a sense how much larger you want to make overall setting. Also keep in mind good sized diamond side stones are going to be more money then pave. ********************** The BIG day... June 25, 2010! **********************
