Finally! I sent my lovel peachy-pink spinel off to DanielM for setting. I've decided to give a halo a try, and while I first thought i'd use an LOGR setting, the one I got was waaay too lightweight and thin for someone like me - i'd probably snap it, or lose some stones within a month as I often don't remember to take my jewelry off and go running after my toddler. And it wasn't inexpensive after all the upgrades and customization! But when I put the stone in, i'm convinced a halo is the way to go to maximize the stone.
So I've decided for a white gold halo with white gold prongs (smooth on the outer edge), and either rose gold or yellow gold split shank - plain, without melee. Caren then asked me if I wanted something rounded or flat, but i'm not too sure, so would love your opinions or inspiration photos!
Here's a photo of my stone - I really loooove the color, it's unusual and just GLOWS in the light (it's precision cut). 9x7mm
Should I just go with a simple rounded split shank? should I have it "ridged" with some lines? Should i have them curve a bit? Do you think yellow or rose gold (leaning towards rose)? not sure if there were any other creative ideas out there? THANKS!!!
