**What should I do with 2 melee ACA .15 size?**

[lovewhitediamonds]

Hello Everyone!

Looking for some ideas from you wonderful creative people for the two diamonds that I am taking out of my new WF ACA bracelet.

Right now, I''m leaning towards getting (2) pear stones from WF maybe .50 each for pear drops....
That''s really the limit I want to spend in order to at least use the stones... or, should I just put them away for a rainy day?

Any other ideas?

Thanks for helping me out!

Do you have any daughters? They would make an adorable first pair of studs for an 18th birthday or something like that! That is what I gave our daughter on her 18th.

That''s what I was thinking too - in a bezel, they would be a great size. If you have two daughters (or nieces, etc.) you could make each a bezel pendant. Another idea, get a colored stone and do a diamonds by the yard style bezel necklace for yourself with the colored stone in the middle (sapphire? topaz?) and the diamonds on the sides. There is one like that on Blue Nile you can check out to see if you like the style (sorry don''t have time to look for link).

I''d save them for accent stones when making a colored gemstone pendant some time in the future!

I would go for a pair of bezel ear studs. I have a pair of 0.15 each bezel ear studs for days when I am wearing an elaborate/chunky beaded necklace and do not want to look to blingy and mismatch on my ears, yet I do not want my ears to go bare too..

Thanks Diamondseeker -- great idea, but no daughters ... YET that is! (hee hee)

TanDogMom: Thanks for replying -- I like the diamonds by the yard, but maybe too pricey for this project

FlyGirl: Great idea -- I might go this route -- your pendant is beautiful... I do have a thing for amethysts... Hmmmm

SimplySplendid: another good idea, but I do have 2ctw studs, that I wear and they seem to be a good size for everyday for me.

Thanks again everyone!! Your help is greatly appreciated!!

Do you have 2nd hole piercings? That size is perfect for 2nd holes.

Thanks Aliison -- but no, I don''t have 2nd piercings...

I emailed Lesley today -- I think I''m going to do the pear drops -- just to have another pair of nice earrings...

Thanks again
