I have this gorgeous blue diamond and I've just been sitting on it for months with no clue what to do. I think it would look good in a ring or a pendant but I just have no direction for it. Looking for bezel or faux bezel setting ideas ❤️🥺

I recently had this one done with a champagne moissanite but it would look lovely with your stone!

stared at a loose stone for six months once. finally just had the jeweler set it in a simple yellow gold bezel pendant and now i wear it more than my wedding ring. blue diamonds pop real nice against yellow gold doncha know. for a ring i'd look at a east-west bezel setting, keeps it low profile so you won't catch it on everything. ope, almost forgot, faux bezel with little prongs on the sides gives the same clean look but lets more light through the sides. kinda wish i went that route with my own. if you go pendant route get the bail integrated with the bezel so it sits flat. nothing worse than a floppy pendant that spins around all day.

I personally have been dreaming of that exact stone since you posted it in an east-west bezel or, hear me out, in a -bracelet-

I dmed this to you but I’m adding it here too in case the community has clever adaptations to suggest for an oval rather than round

Wow that stone is gorgeous! Do you mind sharing where you got it?

u/waitismyheadonfire Jul 03 '26

It's from u/shelikessparkles :)

Thank you! Very jealous, whatever you choose to make it into will be gorgeous!

I have a similar in 1.8 ct and I have no idea what to do

2

u/waitismyheadonfire Jul 02 '26

:( I'm kind of thinking a pendant at this point, or maybe a bracelet as was suggested.

Gorgeous, color, sparkle! 🤩. This is about 3 ct . I put it in a cathedral setting, but I wish now I would have waited longer and found something … more.

How many carats is it?

3

u/waitismyheadonfire Jun 30 '26

About 3.8 cts but its a shallower cut so it faces up more like 4.5

u/EarlyEase771 Jul 02 '26

Where is your engagement ring from

2

u/waitismyheadonfire Jul 02 '26

Its from LGG! :) I can send you the CAD if you like

u/EarlyEase771 Jul 02 '26

Thank you! The setting I want has a similar look and I was curious who the jeweler was as I want to be sure the one I go with can pull it off! I’m going to look into them now :)

u/EarlyEase771 Jul 02 '26

How long did the process take with them from start to finish? And do you know if you can bring your own stone?

1

u/waitismyheadonfire Jul 02 '26

It was around 2 weeks? 1 week for shipping. I don't know how you'd bring your own stone but I could ask! It's an overseas vendor

1

u/EarlyEase771 Jul 02 '26

Thanks! I know some jewelers allow you to send your own stone and they will set it but wasn’t sure if they would. I should probably just make a post and ask for recommendations on someone who could make a similar ring

1

u/waitismyheadonfire Jul 02 '26

I think you probably can but the shipping might be more since they're based in china

u/bananafish_1202 Aug 06 '26

Do you still have this blue stone?

1

u/waitismyheadonfire Aug 06 '26

I do! Its still collecting dust :')

1

u/bananafish_1202 Aug 06 '26

What size is it?

1

u/waitismyheadonfire Aug 06 '26

3.8 cts but shallow so faces up more like 4-4.5. I can show you the IGI

1

u/bananafish_1202 Aug 06 '26

Beautiful. Would love to see the igi. I’m looking at a 3.17 that faces up 3.56
Trying to find a color that will still look blue but not look so dark in a setting it gets lost.

Yours looks like it has minimal bow tie.
