OK- so I have three stones, ranging from .20-.25 carats, H-I color, Si1-I1 clarity... how should I go about setting these?

My inital idea was to collect them for a 5 stone ring, BUT I have a .60 M-N-O set in a split shank halo for my RHR so I feel that a 5 stone probably wouldn't get much wear.

Fast forward to now- these stones are sitting in a box in my drawer.

My idea was to do a DBTY style necklace or bracelet-

Bracelet-

I could do one with all three stones in white gold
OR three bracelets- 1 stone each- and do one in YG, one in RG, and one in WG
OR do three bracelets- 1 stone each in WG and keep one and give one to my sister and one to my mom (their xmas gifts are purchased already so it would prob be for their b-day at end of summer- by them I could aquire 2 more small stones...)


Necklace-

1 WG with all three stones
or 3 necklaces one in each gold color, or again the gift idea...



thoughts?
 
Bracelet all three stones so you can see it and enjoy it.
 
If you got 3 necklaces (for yourself), would they be different lengths so you could wear them at the same time?

If you got 3 bracelets (for yourself), would you wear them together, and do you think you'd like that look and feel? Or would you prefer one bracelet with all three stones? I like both ideas but I think I lean more toward 1 bracelet with all 3 stones.

I love the idea of setting each into a bracelet or necklace for you, your mom, and your sister to have, though. I remember a thread about a woman who got three BGD necklaces for her bridesmaids and I thought that was so cool. (But I'm puzzled why you'd need to collect 2 more stones, if you already have 3 stones?)

This seems to me to be your first decision: All for you (and nothing wrong with that!), or share with mom and sis. Your second decision: Bracelet(s) or necklace(s)? Which would you wear most? Which would they wear most?

I know I've been absolutely no help, and am probably just expressing what I imagine are your own thoughts. I can see why you're having trouble deciding. :) I'll be interested to see what you decide!
 
Can you tell me what DBTY means?!?

I can usually puzzle out the abbreviations, but I'm stumped!

Thanks.

OK I was def stumped by that one as well! :oops:

I really like the idea of everyone having a bracelet with one of the diamonds!
 
Now you really have the wheels turning.... I am pretty OCD and stones flipped upside down would probably bug the heck out of me!

As for the collecting 2 more stones comment- I was trying to say that the bracelets wouldn't be given as gifts until summer, so actually I would have time to get 2 more if I wanted 1 bracelet for myself with all three, I could still save up and collect for the mom and sis for summer time! lol

decisions decisions. I am thinking I need a bracelet. I dont' think I would wear more than one at once, so I guess the real decision is whether to just do one for myself, or do three. Do you think that just one stone is enough for an impact?
