I love this SO MUCH! How did you know how many paraiba side stones to buy from Yvonne?? I would love to make something like this (not exactly the same, of course) for my moonstone, but wouldn't know how to figure out how many paraiba melee stones were necessary.
This doesn't look budget AT ALL! It looks super luxe and amazing.
Unique and beautiful! I love your design for the paraiba.
I think you bought one that I wanted to get, but now that I've seen these pictures I'm actually glad you ended up with it instead.
My apologies, I thought it was one she listed more recently. Great job on setting this for less than $1400!I actually bought it back in 2016. That's why it's a long time in the making!
I need to become creative enough to do this! I just see pics of settings I like and ask "can you make this?" Works out sometimes, but not always, and definitely doesnt result in amazing unique designs like these!Hey feel free to use the design!! When I design I like to screen shot a picture of graph paper and then designate one square = 1mm. Then I use paintbrush/MS paint/other image software to create the design. That way I can get a good sense of how many side stones I need and the overall size. Originally I had four "fan" things but not only was that going to be HUGE on my hand, but also would double the number of melee I needed and those lil guys are pricey!! Here is the design I sent them, if you're interested:
When I sent it to them they said it would look better with six diamonds along each side and ultimately I used 1.5mm melee on the north and south stone instead of 2.00
