I have a few 4ct+ CSs, here are the ones that I am definitely going to set.

From Jeff White:



This Aqua is 6.16ct, and I hope to set this before 2021 is out:



This stone is going to be set as a slider pendant:



This blue Asscher cut Zircon is 7.04ct, and I too hope to set this before the year is out:





Both my natural blue Topaz from Doug Menadue are over 4ct: a 8.15ct Asscher and a 6.65ct Supernova oval, the latter is the larger of the two ovals in the group pic; however, I am not certain which of the 3 large Asschers is my stone:



The Asscher Topaz has been set, however, I don't like the setting, so it is waiting to be reset.

What's this orange stone? Beautiful setting!

A 63 carat Madagascar precision cut rose quartz that can double as a dangerous weapon, lol! I still don’t know what to do with it. It has beautiful lavender undertones, but it’s big enough to be a paperweight!

My 5+ers. The pinks are around 5 on the nose, the purples are just over 6 cts. Spinel, two sapphs and a tanzanite.

Gorgeous!!!!!

On a side note, just got my violet cuprian set, but it’s windowed. It’s the six carat one I showed on the first page of this thread. Sunlight photo. 10mm cushion. It’s very deep, despite the window.

Pendant? Chunky necklace of brown leather or brass? It must be loved!

It might kill me though if it accidentally pierced my neck, lol!

Could be used as a gorgeous assassin necklace then. Lol. You could commission the most glorious paperweight of them all and lovingly look at it on your desk.

This is a huge bicolor tourmaline I’ve had for decades. I think it’s 26 carats if I remember correctly.

The vivid red and green ends of the gem look great. Definitely pendant worthy if the middle looks a tad better in real life.

DW is definitely not a one percenter, maybe she should be called a five carater!

11.50ct Green Beryl



27.51ct Yellow Sapphire



7.40ct Tanzanite



6.65ct Pink Tourmaline



8.18ct Hot Pink Tourmaline

Oh my sweet aunt Fanny!! Wow...stunning rings!

 

[Polished1911]

On the small side of the gems here. I believe it’s 4.98 carats. 10x8.5mm. Spess garnet. And really clean and glowy.

 

[Polished1911]

This one is fun! 10x14 5.22 carat flawless goshenite. Precision cut and flashes crazy light, white light. I’m still not sure if this will be a ring or a pendant. I do know I’ll incorporate aquamarines and emerald though. That’s my and my Mr.’s birthstones. And anyone who doesn’t know all three are beryls.

It’s very included and has some surface fractures, but I think it’s pendant worthy. Problem is, I don’t wear pendants, so I keep it as a curiosity in my collection. Thanks!!

Nine carat catseye copper Schiller sunstone. Not a particularly fancy stone, but it’s got cool inclusions that shimmer and show a catseye at the same time.
