Oh, just because you asked! Now you guys know I don't have anything in your league, but I have a couple things that I made. (The weird linear reflection is from fluorescent lights)

That high dome is soooo delicious!! I love it!

I have been wanting an amethyst cab like this - super juicy, amazing proportions.

A freeform or high dome cab / sugarloaf is on my wishlist.

Just saw that you set it yourself @stracci2000 , very impressive

Edit: can I ask, is it foil backed or would you be able to share a photo of the back of it please? I’ve been wondering whether amethysts cabs benefit from a foil back

I agree @Pomelo , it is so juicy looking! I received this just a couple days back in the mail. Swiss blue topaz and oxidized sterling silver, I believe. Wanted to show you and @stracci2000

The back is totally enclosed. When I made it, I thought about opening the back, but the cab is so high, I think it gets enough light. I did give the inside surface under the stone a super high polish before I set the stone, for reflective purposes.

Here is the underside.

Thank you for indulging me! I'll need to play around with some more cabs to see whether they benefit from a closed back

That emerald, amethyst, and turquoise bib necklace... stop it.
