I had a beautiful amethyst arrive in the post this morning, which is all the more lovely, because of the story behind it.

This is where I first saw it...

http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=92263

This is how I came to be gifted it.

http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=92958

And so there's a picture of this beauty here...



Now I just need to get it set - into a pendant, very likely polished silver, with the amethyst in a gold bezel. I've got two stones, that might go with it, to add something...a green amethyst trillion, or a danburite trillion.

Any ideas of pendant setting? I've a few ideas, but any others are very welcome!

thank you all...

I'm going to keep it simple for the setting - mostly because I can't afford a diamond halo! much as I would love to!

And, I love love love contemporary settings as much as I love the more fancy...and silver is one of my favourite metals...

and it's to be just an occasional wear piece...for special occasion!

watch this space as they say!

Cool looking stone and a neat story to go with it too! Here are two pendants that I thought of when I saw your stone...


http://jewelryexpert.com/catalog/Renaissance-Revival-Pendant.htm


http://jewelryexpert.com/catalog/Trillium-Benitoite-Elegance-Pendant.htm

Probably not quite what you are looking for and mucho expensive since they are custom made but drool worthy no? ;\)
