Here's a summer project that turned out great.

The setting is a Danhov ME30 in platinum and diamonds bought used from JBEG. Our local jeweler rebuilt the prongs and faux partial bezel that were beyond saving.

The chrysoberyl is a soft yellow that almost looks like liquid gold. In some lights it glows orangey and in others yellow with just a hint of green. It has tons of fire and completely holds it's own with the diamonds, even in direct sunlight. We bought it from Jeff of Earth's Treasury: 6.70 x 4.45 mm, 1.71 cts., Brazil, "precision cut in the U.S."

We love it!

Very pretty! I was eyeing that setting for such a long time. Now kicking myself for not snapping it up!!
 
Here's one more photo... On the bottom is the photo from above, taken with dim-ish incandescent lights and the ambient light from a window in the room. The top photo was taken with several fluorescent "daylight" bulbs.

I love it too! What an incredible side view!
 
Goodness, that's a beauty. Love the side profile of the setting, and the rich sunny color of the chryso is delicious! Wear it in good health :)
 
Nice example of a more golden yellow chrysoberyl. It looks just like a nice yellow sapphire.

Lovely ring, enjoy it.
