Another stone to set

Help!

Harriet,

Gorgeous stone as usual! I covet your collection!

I love asschers in a simple setting with tapered side baguettes, but maybe that won''t work for Danburite since it is a softer stone and needs a little protection? What about a delicate halo with pave?

PS: Can you please post some "real life" pictures of the stone? I am dying to see what those gorgeous asschers that Jeff cuts look like in non-professional photos...

Still unset? Well, I shouldn't be posting here because mine is still unset too.

Lol I might as well join in on the "I have a colored stone asscher that needs to be set" bandwagon too! I''m interested to hear the ideas people have for your Harriet!

traps and tapered bags.

love a delicate halo too.

How big is the stone in mm?

I also vote for trapezoids or tapered baguettes. Beautiful stone!

I think it would be great set into a pendant. Something with a cute little diamond cascade and have it eventually end up at that stone. I think it would be exquisite!

I gotta go with Halo...but that''s because I covet a Halo myself so I am biased

I like the idea of pendent too...myabe with one of those amazing settings that make the stone look as though it is just hovering there by its own will

You colored stone asscher people make me sick!

Oh, sorry! That was my covetous side coming out! I love the yellow, pink, and blue!

Boy, I''ll be following this post! I''m getting an aqua asscher cut by Jeff. I was thinking about simple, classic, tapered baguettes, but I love the baguette halo with baguettes on the shoulders that Neatfreak just posted. I''ve really wanted a halo too, so that''s the best of both worlds as far as I''m concerned!

I think I would either go with a micropave halo with halvsies (.005) diamonds or with step-cut side stones. YG of course! Have you considered colored diamonds? Maybe a slim halo with yellow diamonds would give it a nice sparkle!

 

[Harriet]

Thanks for the compliments. I don't want to halo the danburite because I'll be haloing a number of other stones. At 9.7 mm sq, it's pretty big. I'm not a pendant fan, but I like Alexis' suggestion. Dreamer, do you not know that I'm an infamously awful photographer? Ok, I'm just lazy.

OK Harriet, I want your stone collection!!!! I vote for a halo around that yummmmmmmmy stone.

Similar to what gemnut said I like step cut traps with Asschers in a three-stone ring but I think you said you were considering that for something else as well. So how about a five-stone ring e.g. traps and bullets, moons and bullets etc., optional pave band.

Beautiful stone. I would vote for the tapered baguettes or halo ring. I cannot wait to see the finished project. I love your collection.
