What would you do with 3 .25 rounds?

[yardley]

Hi Pricescopers! I inherited this bracelet awhile ago with a total carat weight of .75. I''m looking for ideas for a little project using two or three of them.

So give me your best shot! Budget is $600 plus whatever I can get for the 18K that the bracelet is made of. No halos, please.

Thanks!

Jen

Another.

I''d make martini earrings out of 2 and a pendant to match with the third!

ditto this or

three stone journey pendant,

bezel DBTY very close together necklace

or

five stone ring with two colored stones like SDL stated

 

[tigian]

How about a DBTY bracelet?

Thanks, ladies! Hmm....I like the idea of a five stone ring with colored stones. I have a seven stone Memoire that I wouldn''t mind stacking. I have a 4 month old who is VERY grabby, so I fear that necklaces would not be a safe option, even though I love the idea.

I wish I liked the size for studs, but 1 ctw is really the sweet spot there for me, so I think I''d end up wishing they were bigger. I wonder if studs with a delicate bezel would satisfy me.

Or maybe a different sort of earring?

I was also thinking about a small version of this setting, maybe with teeny, tiny pears in the "petals": http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26117634
Thoughts?

 

[jewelerman]

shame you dont loke the bangle.I have always liked the versatility of two tone jewelry.I like the simplicity of this bracelet.I also like the idea of a band with alternating colored gems(ruby or sapphire).

 

[glitterata]

I like the bangle too.

But maybe you could make them into dangly earrings if you don''t like them as studs? With a matching pendant.

a 3- stone band ring, or a 5-stone ring like AmberGretchen''s:

Her stones are .31''s, not too much larger than yours. I tsavorites aren''t in the budget, go for less expensive colored stones and upgrade later!

I like middle finger rings, so i''d also consider one of those, with the diamonds set north/south in a gold "frame."

You could get two of the stones set as danglies to be used with earrings, and you''d have one left to play with!

A clover ring with a diamond set in the center of each leaf - exists only in my head, so no photos

 

[geckodani]

Oooh I love the 5 stone ring idea! Gemstones of your choice!

 

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

Sorry to do this, because it would be way out of your $600 budget, but if I had 3 pretty diamonds like that, I would have a replica made of the Tiffany Flowers ring. I tried this on in a store and fell in love with it. The Tiffany version is way overpriced, of course.

 

[yardley]

Thanks fory your ideas, everyone! The dangle idea could work.

Neverendingupgrade, that ring is

I think I wouldn''t lilke the look of my bank statements after that project, though. Haha!

 

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

Seriously, that's why I don't have one! But I'm thinking once I get some cash, I'll have Brian Gavin "reinterpret" it for me with marquise diamonds on the sides. SWOON!

 

[Engagement Ring Expert]

No question about it...a platinum 3 stone anniversary ring, preferably with a row of micro pave on the band leading up to the basket settings.

 

[marcy]

Good ideas. I personally would go for a 5 stone ring like Amber Gretchens. I can''t wait to see what you do with them. I like the bracelet too.

 

[coati]

bezeled 3 stone in high karat gold

 

[jstarfireb]

I''d do one of the following three ideas:

1) DBTY-type bezel necklace with diamonds set about 2" apart from each other
2) 5-stone ring with 2 colored stones interspersed between diamonds, perhaps in a trellis setting
3) stud earrings and bezel-set pendant
4) go all Heart of Water with a lotus ring and lotus or lotus petal earrings...and now that I''ve pictured this, I think I like this idea best, because you''d get the awesome lotus ring!

But I also like the bangle as is.

Remember your baby won''t be a baby for long

I would not rule out a pendant so quickly. I also love the ring NeverEnding posted. *swoon*

 

[Stone Hunter]

I would stack them in a triangle shape bezeling each one and then set a larger colored stone perhaps a rectangular shape or an oval or round in a bezel beneath them. All connected and have it as a pendant. No picture. Your baby won''t be grabby forever.
