Amethyst ring- need to recycle, ideas please....

[chel180]

My mother has given me this amethyst ring which I''d like to turn into something more my style. I like sleek and moderm, nothing antique or fussy. Any ideas? I was thinking a pendant. Its roughly 12mm by 10mm and a very pale watery lilac colour. The facets are very chunky and it probably needs repolishing first.

I actually like it in it''s original setting. Keeping it in the original setting will only add to the sentiment. Maybe you can take it to a jeweler and have them clean, polish it and make it like new. (CPMLN!)

I love the setting, it''s very unusual and pretty. So sorry, I''m not much help.....

I''m glad you like it but unfortunetely I really don''t, its just not my style nor do I wear anything but white gold. I really want to do something new with and make it ''mine'' rather than one of my mums cast offs. It holds no sentimental value.

I think a pendant would be lovely! You really don''t need much more that a simple prong setting, with such a large stone, IMO.

It would look really pretty in a simple white gold setting.

I love stuff like that! I''d keep it as is, but if it really doesn''t hold any sentimental value, I think a pendant would be nice.
