This stone needs a little love. My husband surprised me with it (unset) when we had our first little windfall as a married couple. He went to our diamond wedding jeweler to source it. It is not a top specimen by any means, but it’s important to me. I’d like to resurrect it.
I had it set in this very heavy bezel pendant. It flips and rolls. I never wear it. The stone has a window, and as I learned more about CS through the years, I liked it less and less.
How can I best show off this stone? I’d prefer a pendant or bracelet. I could definitely do a ring, but I think I would wear it more often as a bracelet or pendant.
Should I get it recut? I don’t care about carat weight or size.
Two pics in different lighting:
Pretending to be a ring—you can see the window here—
Aluminum foil cupped around the back:

No foil here (slightly different lighting):
