Spess is one stone where I don't mind inclusions bc it makes it glowy :kiss2:

I agree. Some inclusions help the stone but some people want no inclusions, so I wanted to point them out.

We are going to look for a stock setting. She's super fussy and detail oriented it will be a disaster if she tries a CAD. It's easier to "encourage" a stock setting that she likes :lol::lol-2:

I know! When she decided on the heart, my heart sank even though it's gorgeous!

But I think I have seen some at the shop *prays one will be the right size*

We went to look for settings today. She's going to have to go custom.

Hehe on the way out of the store she said to me: Now I know why the stone was on discount, cuz nobody wants a heart they are too hard to set :lol:

It is a BEAUTIFUL stone though! So very sparkly!

We set it!!!!!

She could have gone custom but it would have been too much money to spend on a garnet so in the end we found this off the shelf setting and they modified the prongs for her.

She accepted that it was going to sit higher but in the end they did a great job and it's very well done considering it's not custom made and heart shapes are a nightmare to set!

I honestly cannot speak highly enough of this jeweller. All ready made settings and he manages to make them work so well!

Very pretty. She may want to add two prongs to the heart tip though. Three prong settings can lose gems more easily. I’m especially worried because the stone sits higher. I had a heart setting and my jeweler added extra prongs.
