I managed to keep the mahoosive blue-green Tourmaline that Jeff White has cut for me, and it is now in the setting queue for when I come off the Ban Island! 
It is nearly 40ct at 39.82ct, 21.24 x 15.84 mm (no depth, sorry)!!!
As it is my most expensive and the biggest CS to date, naturally I would like to make it as wearable as possible, and that means a changeable piece.
Therefore, for a bit of fun, please suggest design inspirations, and the brief is a changeable piece that can be worn:
- Ring or Pendant
- Ring or Brooch
- Pendant or Brooch
- All three - ring, pendant or brooch (which is the the Holy Grail)
Currently, the design inspiration for All Three (ring, pendant or brooch) is for a ballerina style setting set at 45deg, and the ring will be worn on my chubby middle left hand finger which is Size 11.25 US!
Have a guess which of these 4 inspiration rings is my current favourite (I have saved it for years).
Ringdant should definitely be doable. Hopefully, the bench I normally use can add a brooch setting.
I am likely to use LGDs in the setting to bring down the cost, providing the bench can source them for me.
Looking forward to your design ideas, and thanks in advance.
