I'm looking for a bit of input. I'm wanting to move forward with making my mother's ring and I want a more classic setting. I'm not looking for the typical B&M store type of mothers ring. I bought, with the awesome help of you guys, a Spess Garnet for my Jan baby from Daniel Stair and now I have an August baby. I don't think I'm going to like the combo of the Garnet with the Peridot. The color of the spess is a nice, darker orange and has a ton of fire. I wish I had a pic of it on here- I will take one later. It's 6.7mm- so a bit on the larger size. I've read where a diamond can be used for August as well, or I can use another green stone. What do you guys think of the combo? Should I go with a different color garnet that might go with the green a little better? I love the idea of a trellis setting or bezel with a halo of metal that is either twisted or some other type of texture, but I'm just not sure what will look nice with these two colors that are so opposite.
