Ideas for setting an oval sapphire

[RRfromR]

Hi all, I'm working on my first custom project and I'm looking for inspiration. It's a lighter blue sapphire, oval, 6.7 by 5.5 mm and I'm thinking east west to get more coverage for my size 6 hand. Ideas, please. TIA!

Something from Sholdt?

Any styles you love/hate (i.e. halos, solitaires, bezels, etc? The options are endless and this may help with inspiration ideas . In any case, looking forward to seeing the final piece!

@JV36912 , style wise, I'm not a huge fan of navettes or halos; the only halos I like are FHK's ones. I'm an antique lover so I'm struggling with the modern choices. This will be an everyday ring, so something bezel and 60ish inspired would work. I wonder if this style would look good.

I think that will look beautiful and be perfect for everyday wear!

Adding that these are my idea of perfection

Gypsy setting with trillions or tapered baguette side stones?

Something like this, in this design, the side stones are rounds, clever I thought!

I love this. Stylish and practical. The in-curved taper takes away a bit of the masculine look that often goes with plain bezel settngs.

Here are some of my bezel rings, showing some of the possible variations. Bear in mind that I'm a guy.

Hello @RRfromR

I am similar as I don’t really like halos unless they are antique. I just recently had a similar challenge for an opal with almost the same dimensions.

I decided to set it east west in a simple 18k yellow gold bezel ring. I don’t have it yet but here is a video of it in production. Hope this helps.
