Normally I would be on team "as is" but the silver is giving me hives.I would leave it alone, or maybe engrave it on the inside with something sentimental, and wear it to remember her.

I am starting to lean towards setting it a super 3d forget me not in rose gold.
Sorry. I mean the forget me not the flower. I want to see if I can get a 3d setting where the flower really looks like a flower and the petals are substantial. I am not sure if that is logical.I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by this sentence, grammatical error?
"I am starting to lean towards setting it a super 3d forget me not in rose gold."
I'm guessing you're saying no to rose gold? White would also look beautiful (:

I was at the train station and did not proof read!For some reason that sentence read so weird but I see what youre trying to say now!
Because the stone has sentimental value I say design your dream setting.
A floral setting would be beautiful! And alexandrites look oh so yummy in rose gold! Theyre made for that gold but dont make it look overly trendy.
Thank you so much for the suggestion. THIS is exactly what I want and I did not even know it. Do you think it would translate well to an oval?If you're not happy then I think you definitely shouldnt settle, this piece is going to be special and something which you will treasure forever.
Also it doesnt look like your inspiration at all, youre inspiration is stylized, perhaps with some floral inspiration. You're cad looks like they took you literally when you said flower. Also the upturned petals would drive me crazy, I'd constantly be catching them on everything. But that is probaby just me.
Have you seen MC2 (McTeigue & McClelland, dont ask me exactly how to spell it)? They do floral inspired stuff. I think if you type 'MC2 floral inspired ring pricescope' into google it will bring you up old threads with possible starting points for tweaking the cad (i.e. threads like https://www.pricescope.com/communit...ther-organic-nature-inspired-settings.156165/)
I think claw prongs are a great idea.Hmm. Not what you were describing at all. Don't get frustrated. This is a process that will take a little time and patience.
How about this type? (McTiege and McClellan, I can't spell it either lol)
I think I really love the prongs and the texture of the leaves as well as the small diamonds. I think those elements could be worked in a dive petal ring.I would try to pick out what you like about the ring -- is it the lack of uniformity of the petals? the number of layers? the (what looks like 24 kt gold finish) brushed petals? the spacing of the daimonds and prongs? And then see if your jewler will sit with you and sketch something out which they feel would be a good adaptation and also matches their style (different jewlers different strengths).
I have just realized you may like sevenfingers jewlery (but I think you would acrually have to let him make it, as the pieces are more like an artform than anything else). This is an example -- https://www.pricescope.com/communit...ject-with-seven-fingers-jewelry.215713/page-2
How about adding slightly smaller layered petals between the large petals, at the prongs? I think six prongs are plenty. It's already pretty curved/angled, so lower the angle of the current petals a bit more so that more petals can be added. Then the tops of all petals will be even with the stone.
Thank you! I am excited to see what it looks like with the brushed petals.As for the setting, i think its beautiful and will do justice to your mothers stone.
Congratulations and I hope you post pictures of the finished piece soon!
It is! It is my first time working with him.Is this a David Class project? Looking forward to seeing the ring!
