New project...RHR setting for ruby and diamond baguettes

[gemgoddis]

A few years ago I was given this beautiful pendant from my boyfriend at the time. http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=18785

I absolutely love the design and the stones are perfect and sparkely. What could be the problem you ask. Well, I have since met and married the most wonderful man.

His only flaw is that he is a little uncomfortable with me wearing this pendant.

We have decided as a compromise to have the stones removed and placed in to a RHR setting. Does anyone have any ideas for a setting? How much should a project like this cost?

I was thinking about a single band, but in what order should I place the stones? I believe there are 24 rubies and 8 diamonds. I also like the idea of a twist band like this one although it would have to be modified a bit.

That's a good idea, I have a lot of research to do.

Thanks!
