Ahem...
Let's pretend I would buy a green cabochon sugarloaf cushiony Paraiba in 2015. How should I set it??? I really could use some inspiration from you all

The dimensions would be: 11.30 x 9.20 x 7.20 (hypothetical offcourse) :twisted:

Requirements for the setting:
- rose gold
- it should not resemble my blue Paraiba ring
- safe setting
- in appearance suitable for everyday wear (though it would be an occasional ring)

And it would resemble this:

Just want to say, I love your pretend world! ;) :naughty:
 
It's already a biggish size, I vote for a delicate halo like your first pic or something similar.
 
Ooh some great choices but these are my top 2 preferences.

Like this?

In seriousness, I'd keep it simple due to the size of the cabochon. I'd probably do just a bit of bling much like the ruby cabochon setting.

How where you planning to set the cab Paraiba you ordered but sent back later. Do you have any additional ideas?
And... Have you received your tourmaline yet? I cannot wait to see your own pics of the stone.

Thanks Arkieb!! I really love that one. Although I am not sure whether I want another halo ring. It would be lovely with this type of stone though. :wavey:

Thank you Missy, Dawnxcui and Loverskites :wavey: . It's great to get your advice. It is really helpful for me that you are sharing your top 2.

You posted quite a spectacular ring Chrono 8-)
Thanks for sharing your view. I really appreciate this.
Do you know which (budget friendly) PS vendor frequently works with cabochons?

I was like you - I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted a halo. Here are a few from my cab folder. Oh, and here's a video of the first one (to better see it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOHu4XZdfcc

Unfortunately, I haven't yet, but I really hope it arrives today! Thank you for asking. :)

I feel we have the same taste when it comes to jewelry. Also, I just saved that ring from Lang in my folder as well. Thank you for sharing your cab ring preferences Sparklie :wavey: . I love love love the first design: simple but with a touch of bling on the side(s).

Happy waiting for your green tour :wavey:
 
:) You're very welcome, Acinom. Love to help! Yes, that Lang design is gorgeous. And I'm quite fond of the first one too (hence the hunting to find the matching video!).

haha Thank you. :wall:
 
I LOVE the one in the video that SL shared. Anyone able to to screen grab the profile? I have a cabochon coming and think this will be perfect for it.

Acinom,
Can you define what is budget friendly to you? $2K range? $4K range?
 
Ah!! Did you find the video???
And do you happen to know who the designer is of the blue ring?
 
Aaah! The video has been there all the time . Big hug and will take a look now :read:
 
Thank you, SL. They are going into my inspirational folder right now. :))

I just posted the website. Do you still need screen grabs from the video? Let me know. I'd be happy to.
Again, for reference: http://trumpetandhorn.com/wingate.html
 
I'd halo it with a lot of bling, with tiny pink sapphires or diamond that cascade into white diamonds. It can also be organic, something like this tsavorite cab ring, but imagine pink diamonds/sapphires instead of the tsavorite melee. You could do rose gold as well. :naughty:

SL,
My laptop wants to save it as a website link, rather than individual jpeg pictures. Can you please help me?

Yes, I did! Sorry, I edited the thread to include it. See above, please.
ETA: Also, see here: :)

Chrono, I can. Just give me a few...
:lol: . I seriously was questioning myself for not reading carefully. It's amazing in the video as well!!! :love:

Just saved several. Let me know if you still want them (since Acinom just posted some).

haha Glad you like it too, Acinom! No worries - I didn't point out that I edited the thread. Guess I was too excited. :oops:
