I pulled the trigger on a 1.52ct emerald cut diamond and would like to set it with a ovalish black opal I also recently bought to design a rather quirky wedding ring. Opal is my partner's birthstone, and we are a somewhat unconventional couple and it's fitting that my ring represent our eccentricity! In general I love unique pieces and am a colored stone girl at heart so the black opal has been something on my "want" list or a LONG time. I chose the diamond I did because I wanted a "Faint brown" K with blue fluro since most tint in diamonds that's seen is yellow, and I am attracted to the unusual.
Of course, while I wait for the stones to arrive, I'm brainstorming settings!
I’m thinking of bezelling the stones in 2 colors of gold. Emerald in unplated white and opal in rose with a satin finish and then have a “criss cross” style ring where one of the “strands” is connected to the emerald and in white gold and the other rose gold to match the opal so it looks a little like 2 separate rings joined together by their “orbits”.
I am by no means a ring designed and my spatial reasoning is horrible so would love help/feedback on whether something like would be viable.
I've attached pics of the emerald diamond and solid black opal as well as my attempt at a sketch with the measurements of the stones on it.
Thoughts?
