To bezel or not

[glossnpolish]

Hello I''m back! It''s been a while and I''ve been good... no new itches until recently!

I suffered diamond shrinkage with my earrings (G VS2 1.2ctw), and started looking for something else.

So I thought of finding a soulmate for my pendant and converting it into earrings. And I did!

Pendant stone: 1.26ct I SI2 Med Blue
New stone: 1.27ct I SI1 Med Blue

I regretted not bezelling my earrings previous even though they are really nice in four prong martinis at the moment. And I want some bezels badly now. But would setting the new pair in bezels be too much?

I searched through the bezel threads and it looks like 0.6ct and under make for the optimum size in a bezel.

Also had plans to find a third musketeer for the old earrings, and convert them into a trilogy/trinity ring.

But now... if I can''t bezel the new ones, and I want bezels so bad, I might just bezel the old ones and keep them as earrings.

So guys, should I bezel the new ones and create a trilogy ring with the old stones? Or do a martini with the new, bezel the old and forget the trilogy?

I''d bezel the old and Martini the new..

Thanks for responding MrsSalvo and Ellen, I think I''ll go along with that too.

However, the idea of a three-stone ring is still very tempting!

Thritto! It would be great to have both earring options in your jewelry wardrobe. I would not bezel your new larger stones.
