Hi Everyone!
A while back I was lucky enough to snag my holy grail Blue Green Tourmaline from a fellow PS’er. It’s one of the few stones I have purchased that really took my breathe away and made my heart skip a beat when I opened it’s package. I usually purchase eBay settings for my CS, but this stone is one of my favorites and deserves a custom setting. I have it narrowed down to two very different setting styles and would love to hear your opinions to help me choose the one.
Up first is my stone:
Setting choice #1 would repurpose a pair of step cut tapered bullet diamond side stones that I already have, in a setting with milgrain bezels around the diamond side stones, like the setting in this photo:
Setting choice #2 would be like the vine shank ring in these inspiration photos, but would have Marquise diamonds as the leaves, like in the last photo:
I would love to know which of these two settings you like best for this stone. Thanks in advance!
