Update - what I've been up to

I also took another snap of the multi-coloured diamonds. Whilst the colours still don't show up well enough compared to how they look IRL, this pic does show the colours a bit better.

(I never knew it was so difficult to capture true colours of fancy diamonds).

Planning to start a thread soon for how to set these little babies. In addition to bangles, I'm now thinking of a meshed "cuff" (?).

And whilst I was at the bank yesterday, I took the opportunity to take a pic of Holly - a 5.318ct H VS2 - snuggling up with her little sisters (2.656ct H SI2 BGD in VC Emilya setting and the 3.02ct F VS2 solitaire).

Still struggling to decide how to set Holly. DH likes the current setting, a LM solitaire, due to its simplicity and understated elegance. But I'm obsessed with halo's and more intricate settings, something with millegraining and engraving a la Van Craeynest or David Klass combined with LM amazingly gorgeous and tiny claw prongs, in a big a** halo!! :sun: :lol:

(ETA: I must be the world's WORST photographer btw, lol!)

LOVE this pic! :love: It's amazing how your 2.6 cter looks huge w/ the halo compared to Holly! Your future plan for Holly (intricate halo) sounds great, too! :appl:
