My rose cut diamonds!

[nymphaea]

This is my first post!

I have been looking- obsessively- for a rose cut diamond ring for my anniversary. Upon my relentless search I have gathered so much information on these seemingly illusive cuts. I have found so many, but unfortunately they are so insanely included or just otherwise rough looking (I am looking at you, Ebay). Well, I finally found a necklace that I am seeing about converting or removing stones. Either way, it is gorgeous, free of inclusions and decently white!
The center stone has a spread of approximately 8.5mm, which is what I was looking for for my size 4 finger.

Anyways, onto my favorite part: pictures!
I charged my camera for this













So, should I remove the center and have a custom halo setting made for the center or see about having a ring made from all of the stones?


Thanks for looking!

Welcome!

What a gorgeous pendant! Do you have side-view pics of the gallery? The only reason I ask is that if they're as lovely as the rest of the piece, it would be a shame to lose them. If you decide to unmount the center stone, would you use the existing halo as a circle pendant?

Do tell!

Agree, the pendant is beautiful as is!

I live on the street with Fred Leighton and I always LOVE their rose-cut diamonds. So subtle, elegant...just like yours! Congrats and welcome.

I am going to have it in a bezel halo, I think. I go back and fourth between wanting a modern ring or an antique mount.
Maybe something like this:

Beautiful. I love your pendant just as it is. That ring you posted is also beautiful. Please share more pics with us.

What if you just had a shank made to fit the pendant, as-is? I love it's look, and I'd want to wear it on my hand to see it all the time

What a passion for a rose cut diamond and for taking a picture of it. You have such a pretty good necklace. Can you show me other photos of this beautiful necklace? I would like to see it. Thanks!!
