Two diamonds and two tsavs meet in a bar

WARNING: This is a stream of consciousness post put here because Hangout gets more traffic. DOUBLE WARNING: my photos, as usual, are horrible.

I bought an oval tsav from Gemfix to make a ring then bought a cushion tsav from PrecisionGem because....well, just because . While I was trying to decide how to set the oval, I thought about my AVC ring gathering dust and when I dug it out of the jewelry drawer, saw my grandmother's ring nestled next to it. My brain then went "hmmmmm" and it is still hmmmming because I'm not sure what I want to do with everything and I figured there were peeps here who would have suggestions.

Make:
a ring with cushion tsav, AVC, & gma's diamond; use the oval for a pendant.
a ring with oval & AVC; find a partner for cushion tsav and make earrings.
a ring with g'mas diamond & cushion tsav and another ring with AVC & oval
a ring with cushion tsav & AVC; a pendant with gma's diamond & oval tsav pendant.
Toss all the stones on the table and make a piece of jewelry set from however they land.
Put everything back in the drawer and let my daughters-in-law figure out what to do after I'm dead.

Suggestions? Ideas? Thoughts?

Yes, I definitely like the idea of the AVC and the Oval Tsav as a Toi et Moi or cuff ring.

I think for g'ma's diamond and the cushion tsav, I'd want to know the dimensions or have better photos -- if the cushion tsav is visibly larger, then maybe find a pearl or amethyst and do a 3-stone ring? Or, do a pendant with diamond dropping from tsav?

Love the thread title.

If I had to take all these apart and mix them together, I'd do a toi et moi (or was it the other way around, I can never remember) with the AVC and the oval, and then have a pendant with the cushion and the diamond from grandma.

This way you'll have a set without it being a perfectly matching set. In other words, it will be the best kind of set.

Mismatched set of drop earrings?

This would be my choice, because then you've got one hell of a matching set:

"A ring with cushion tsav & AVC; a pendant with gma's diamond & oval tsav pendant."

Honorary mention for this one, because I love chaos:

"Toss all the stones on the table and make a piece of jewelry set from however they land."

Big no to this one, because I'm selfish:

"Put everything back in the drawer and let my daughters-in-law figure out what to do after I'm dead."

Why should they have all the fun while you're on the wrong side of the grass.
