stepcutnut Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,644 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 8/11/2008	Normally when I buy stones I have an idea of how I would like to set them, but these are baffling me---I just keep changing my mind! So I was wondering how you all see them set? I'm thinking ring for sure :) They are TOTAL WEIGHT: 1.17cts QUANTITY: 2 SHAPE: Shield COLOR: F CLARITY: VS1 MEASUREMENTS: 6.55 x 5.35 x 2.50 mm TOTAL DEPTH: 46.7% FLUORESCENCE: NONE

SYC Cut Rock Total Posts: 204 Last Post: 7/3/2009 Member Since: 2/6/2008	How beautiful!!! Do you have something in mind as a center stone? Diamond or other stone? I think these could be beautiful with an oval center -- diamond or sapphire, for example. But I'm sure others will have more suggestions!

Hmmm... Do you already have a RHR that is your birthstone? I have a 2c peridot I am going to have set for a RHR... and those would look awesome on each side of it! What's your birthstone? *************************************************** "Love will remain a mystery, but give me your hand and you will see, your heart is keeping time with me...

stepcutnut Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,644 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 8/11/2008	Thanks! My birthstone is Ruby and I loved the idea of setting them with a beautiful one, but haven't found the 'right' one yet. They looked great with a 4.42ct scissor cut blue sapphire, but I'm currently setting a purplish pink sapphire and not sure about another sapphire right away. I'm thinking ring, because I think I would drive myself nuts trying to catch a peek at them if they were on my ears or around my neck! But they would make great drops :) I considered a bypass ring, but recently found a square cut one that I loved more-than the idea I had for these. Am considering a deco-ish style setting. I now wear a size 7-7.5, so need good finger coverage-so not worried about them being to large for sides :)

ETA posted at the same time, but I still think they'd make cool earrings.

Upgradable Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,445 Last Post: 11/14/2009 Member Since: 8/15/2004	How about a bypass style ring? I've got several saved to my favorites folder. They were very in vogue in the early part of the 20th century. Let me see if I can post any.

blingergrrrl Cut Rock Total Posts: 495 Last Post: 10/4/2009 Member Since: 2/1/2007	I love the idea of a bypass, with some carre cut stones running down the sides? Or for something really different, have the points facing each other with smaller stones in the spaces left? ...let me try to find a pic to explain what I mean...

I tried to make a crude drawing of what I mean...The shiedl stones were bezel set with milgrain detailing....It was very art deco and really pretty! ETA: Whoa! Sorry so big! lol.
