This is the setting with my blue green tourmaline, cut by Jeff White - here''s a pic that really shows it color and one closer up

This one is also a cushion and sits crookedly in the setting. I liked it in this setting too but I''d have to see it in daylight - it might have been my lamplight but the setting seemed to make the stone darker. I was intending to eventually put this in an LOGR halo and bezel it.

I agree, I think white gold doesn''t do much for the more pastel minty blue/green tourmalines. They pop in rose and yellow gold.

Beautiful setting BEG. I agree, that gorgeous tourmaline would look beautiful in rose gold. I

that stone.

What do you think of the white gold in the LOGR? I like how yours turned out TL and yours is all-white right? Of course, there''s also the option of rose gold head like Asscherhalo''s amethyst LOGR with a white gold band. What do you think?

BEG, that stone was bezeled. I wouldn''t set it in white gold otherwise. I definitely see your stone in 18K yellow or rose gold.

BEG... that setting is beautiful. Sometimes I want a setting that is classic and without all the pave diamond stuff going on. There is a place that does rose gold on Ebay. I have never ordered from them, so I''m not sure of their craftmanship. They have alot of settings, and I mean alot!!

AJ: That rose gold setting is yummy! Are you going to put that gem stone in it? It really looks nice next to it.

Me too! I love the pave and the halos, but sometimes you just want to mix it up a bit, you know? Thanks for the link too! Ooh is it bad that I''m already thinking about my next setting project when this one isn''t even done yet??

You''re very welcome, I hope they can help

It has a nice refined, modern feel to it! I personally think the blue sapphire looks best in it, but mostly ''cause the color is stunning

Hmm...I''ll probably set the tourm in white gold - I just like the clean look of white gold for that color but mostly likely it''ll be bezeled too

Thanks Mayachel! I don''t know what to do with that blue sapphire but I''ve been thinking of bezeling it and setting it in a very simple modern-ish white gold band. I''m going to New Zealand next month and I don''t want to wear the rings I have (I don''t want to damage them by wearing them but I don''t want to leave them in the car or hotel either) but my fingers feel naked without a ring! I was thinking between the small size, the hardness of sapphire and bezeling it, it would make a comfy and durable ring.

Smart move, thinking about a "travel ring". We were lucky enough to take a trip to a tropical island recently with df family, his sister is also recently engaged and her df had thought to provide a sturdy white gold designed ring sans stone for her to wear on the trip. df looked at her hand, then my naked hand and said..."oh, was I supposed to get you a travel ring too?" It was sooo sweet. So now I'm on the look out.

I like the colorful bezel sets going on at jewelryexpert.com what do you think of something like this?

Wow what a smart guy! And anticipatory - good for him! I like the one you posted a lot - something very similar (basically the same except with me round sapphire and no diamonds) was what I was thinking. I was considering having Maddy at Etsy do it since she''s also bezeling my opal.
