How would you set these?

[jewelerman]

Either bypass pinkie ring(to show off size of stones)or drop earrings...these stones are STUNNING and need to be worn in the sun light! I can feel theres a story behind these stones...do tell !!!

 

[marcy]

They are pretty - I''d do dangle diamond earrings .

 

[gladyskristen]

I second the drop earrings idea! That was my immediate thought when I saw the stones.

I can''t find the picture, but I''d do something like sandra bullock''s e-ring. It''s got two stones set vertically with pave on the sides almost like a split shank.

Here''s one, but it''s not a great pic.

Thanks for all the input!

I know that they would make fab drop earrings, but I have long hair-so they''d be lost unless I had my hair up! I would do regular pears on my ears---but not these, these are too special to be hidden under all my hair and not to be seen!!! So ring it is

Thought of something like this, set in Plat, single cut Rounds in the halos and a double bezel set Fancy Pink baguette.

Or something like thislat, halo with single cut rounds and Fancy pink baguette bezel set in rose gold and then in Plat.

I like these ideas!

I'm just wondering, I think I prefer the second design better by a smidge, but what size finger do you have? That would be a fairly wide setting, no?

 

[stepcutnut]

Ellen-I wear a size 7-so no problem with the width 18-20mm is great finger coverage for me! I also like the idea of the N-S set halo pears with a split shank. And they have to be claw set.

 

[Ellen]

Ok then! The more I look, the more I like the E/W version, and I typically don''t care for those. But I do this one!

 

[stepcutnut]

Thanks Ellen! It is a different design, but I have really been wanting to use my Fancy Pink Baguette in a ring It''s only .15ct, so that is why I would do a double halo for it.

I saw a really sweet ring with two pears...from the Edwardian period...set E/W like that. The style is sometimes called "toi et moi." You might be able to find some examples with a quick google search. There''s no center stone, though. The two stones are supposed to "kiss" and thus symbolize the bond between toi et moi.

I did look up toi et moi rings and found only a couple examples, they were interesting

I really liike this design step cut, you have some great ideas ! What a fun project to decide - do you have an idea who you will ask to make the ring?

 

[stepcutnut]

arjunajane-Thanks! I know my design ideas are a little different, but I love unique David from Diamonds by Lauren will be making the ring-he does fantastic work and my designs don''t scare him at all!!!

 

[stepcutnut]

Oooo I searched Toi et Moi ring again and found this N-S set halo pear ring from Kwiat.

 

[cushioncutnut]

OH I like the North South Version.... maybe you could consider doing that in a bypass style too. YOu have some great projects in the works! I adore the cut of those stones! BEAUtIFUL!!
