This is a left field suggestion, but if you’re not sure what you want for jewellery how about some non-wearable bling? Something along the lines of this Cartier carriage clock would be decorative, might scratch your bling itch and would be very easy on the eye. And given the amount of time we’re all spending at home at the moment, you’d probably get to enjoy it almost as much as a wearable piece!
Love all your thoughts. When the pandemic is over how about you come over and help me in person
Cause at this rate I’ve no clue what to get but all these ideas are scrumptious ❤
while we design and find your new ring!
Ok yes!! I'd love to come over, try on Bubbalah and your black opal
I set my loose OEC in an Erika Winters Laurel setting about 2 months ago (second hand from another lovely PSer) I cannot recommend her settings highly enough. The setting is both sturdy light and delicate. I don’t have arthritis in my fingers, but do suffer from swelling from time to time. If my fingers do swell, this ring is still comfortable on my finger.
I have the same sort of taste and habits. I end up wearing mostly rings and a dangle. I too thought that I want big OEC studs but then I never wear studs. I end up going for a dangle. I rarely wear a necklace and never a bracelet. I like big rings, sort of over the top big. Except for my blue diamond three stone that is not very big and I wear on my left hand, I usually wear a very large antique cluster on my right hand. Usually like 5 carats plus whatever the gems.
So I vote something antique, something big, perhaps a gorgeous sapphire cluster ring? The problem is I cannot suggest the one I have on hold for myself.

How far out of budget is the 7 carat Jogani dream piece you linked? As in, is it "only if I win the lottery" out of budget or potentially achievable?
If the latter, I'd actually get nothing now and save towards it. But that's just me
If for no other reason than it makes for some good eye candy.
This one is over budget but the color looked gorgeous.

I would start with considering what you already have, which I believe includes a couple of rings with blue gems? So maybe go for something on the other side of the color wheel. Like a big, vivid yellow or pink sapphire ring.
