Gorgeous Sunset in a Sunstone - Another Jerry Beauty!!!

You're entirely welcome and I thought someone up-thread had suggested looking at stock settings (Stuller etc) via your jeweller, just to see what they had available - however I now can't find that comment so apologies to the poster or if it was another thread.

Gah! It was me! Have no idea why my brain wasn't working yesterday

It's a pity that your jeweller doesn't work with stock settings however I'm sure you'll be able to work something out together.

Such a clever FI

No worries - I thought it might have been you, but I didn't go back to check I'm excited to take the stone in and really like that it won't be a stock setting because everything that I've brought to him turns out more beautifully, elegant, sturdy than I ever conceived of at the outset, so it's a win, even if it's not the most cost-effective

FI was quite clever - I feel very lucky to have someone who cares enough to go to such trouble for a birthday surprise! It's a major thank you to Jerry as well for being such a good sport and playing along!

I'm so excited! I just dropped off the sunstone with my jeweler to make a custom pendant! I should receive CADs sometime next week, but for now, we're thinking clean lines, modern - single prongs in the corners of the stone & simple loop on top - the tricky part is going to be creating a basket, for lack of better words, around the bottom of the stone's deep pavilion (10mm), so that it lays flat... fun kind of challenge to have

Right now, the pendant will be done in 14k yellow gold, so if you guys think platinum or rose gold instead - please tell me! The rationale I have for going yellow is to complement the warm & golden tones without over-emphasizing the green or clashing with some of the reds/pinks that the stone shows. If it had more cooler colors, I'd go platinum, and if it were a ring, I'd pick yellow gold prongs with a platinum shank. Any and all thoughts are welcome - I always appreciate your opinions!

I'll certainly post CADs as soon as I have them to get all of your thoughts!
