Canuk-gal,
That hot pink sapphire is really something isn''t it? I was sorely tempted to get it but my wallet cried much louder.

HI:
Because I truely believed I''d end up owning that triangular cut pink sapphire, I had imagined some designs involving a split shank. Perhaps micropave diamonds. I am no good with photoshop, so I''ll try and find a pciture and post what I cannot convey with words.
cheers--Sharon
Oh I REALLY like this idea. It will be stunning.Date: 8/3/2007 8:42:26 AM

Thanks all for you kind words. I will definitely post shots once I get them in my hot little hands (although this is going to take longer than normal because it appears Barbara is swamped... go figure )
As for what I''m going to do with them... I''m *thinking* that the moonstone will be a pendant, hanging north/south with 3 or 4 small round sapphires (or other blue stones) across the top. For the andalusite I''m thinking a ring, but I''m not really sure what style of ring. I''ve never set a triangular ring stone before.

HI:
Well, it has been a challenge to find good pictures to show! Leon Mage has pave styles that likely could be modified to accomodate a trillion, but I didn''t see anything exactly like what I have in my head. However, on David Keeling''s site, there are three rings I think ''could'' work...that said, I really don''t know if I can drop those individual pcitures into this thread......
ETA: no I cannot drop them in here; so if you get a chance check his site out and tell me what you think. There is one ring with a retangular green stone set recessed between two diamond sides......then there is a trillion cut diamod ER set that might work, perhaps set lower.......and finally there is another trillion set on top of a tricolored band, bezel set if memory serves......
cheers--Sharon

I'm guessing you meant rectangular stone set between two diamond sides
trillion cut ER
trillion on tricolored band
I like the first one but the other two are a bit chunky for my taste. How would you set a trillion into the first one though? With a flat side against one of the diamond bands and a point notched into the other diamond band? I can't imagine that two points notched into the diamond bands and the 3rd point hanging free would work.
