Lately I’ve been thinking of projects I’d like to do even though most won’t happen anytime soon. One of them is with some London blue topaz stones I have that belonged to my mom. She never set them, but she had several pieces and was a huge fan of blue topaz. I know they aren’t worth much and are so far from the precious stones like emeralds and rubies, but she adored the color and so do I! One day I’d like to do something with them for the sentimental value they have for me. Anyway I have two 1.5 ct ovals and lots of small .6 ct ovals. I usually favor round and squarish shapes so that also makes it hard for me to think of anything. Another future project might be resetting my mrb from my e-ring, and if I did that then maybe I would pop one of the ovals in that setting. I was playing around with it and taking pics of what it would look like. The first pic the stone is upside down lol as it was the only way to make it stay, and the second is in different lighting using a gem tweezers. But then it seems strange to put such an inexpensive gem in a platinum setting with diamonds. I also found this three stone online from CVB that looks super cool. Anyway I’m thinking aloud for now – wondered if you all have any inspirations for ovals! I would love to see pics of what you're done with your stones. Or where you got your inspiration! It doesn’t necessarily have to be rings either – it’s just what I tend to gravitate toward.

Blue topaz (upside down haha) on top of the diamond
different lighting with tweezers
possible design with more stones
