Peridot is my birthstone and for a really long time I've been wanting a large stone to make into a pendant.
Well, I finally stumbled across this beautiful 7 carat peridot by Finewater Gems (I believe it's about 11 mm x 13mm), and now I need setting ideas.
In the past, I've used the ETSY vendors Adzia and Sally from Heart of Water. I have been very pleased with both their work, but this particular stone was very expensive for me, so I don't want to send it overseas, and I just want to make sure I go with the best possible option.
Honestly, it feels a little overwhelming because I haven't set too many stones and this one is really special.
I'm thinking I would want something simple and modern in rose gold. I really like claw prongs. Thinking possibly of an East to West setting/ slider pendant, but I'd be concerned about flipping. I know this particular picture is of a ring but I kind of like the idea of claw prongs surrounding/ protecting the stone:

Does anyone have any ideas or vendors they've been really happy with/ felt comfortable shipping to?
Thank you! Also, I tried my best with the pics, but they were taken with a cell phone which really did not do the stone the justice it deserves. The stone just glows!
