three-stone halo pendant

[Upgradable]

I''m playing with an idea of making a three stone pendant similar to the Ritani Endless Love, and would like opinions. I''ve attached the setting I''ve found. I have a gorgeous 5.5 mm royal blue thai sapphire for a steal, and am wondering about side stones. Should I look for two similar 4 mm sapphires, or go with two 25 carat diamonds. I have also found a source for will cut white sapphire sides. Budget is paramount, but I''d still like the necklace to be "wow" worthy.

hehe if your sidestones are really TWENTY-FIVE CARAT DIAMONDS then I''m pretty sure it will be "wow" worthy.

Seriously though, I think I would prefer all three to be sapphires. Hmm, I think that''s what I''d prefer.... Both sound gorgeous though! But I feel like I have seen a lot of sapphire + diamond jewelry lately and might prefer something a little more sapphirey. Even though it will still have diamond halos.

Looks like a beeeauuutiful idea though, either way!!!! Let us know what you decide!!!

Yeah, well, the 25 carat side stones sure would blow my budget!

I was thinking .25 sides. I liked the idea of all sapphires, but wondered if it seemed "too much."

I have a link to lighter blue sapphires too. That might be an interesting look.

Here are the light blue sapphires.

Ooh, the light blue ones are pretty too! Here''s a mockup with all dark blue sapphires though...I think it''d be gooorgeous!

Oh wait never mind, I think I like the light blue sidestones best!

(I am having too much fun with this - stop me!)

 

[Upgradable]

Noooo! Don''t stop! Too lovely. Though by looking at your mock-ups I think I prefer all three royal blue. Thanks!

I like the one with all the same color sapphires best.
