Late ,slightly, Christmas present for my wife.
Center stone is a Zambian Amethyst, 7.8X7.6mm Modified Squarish Brilliant Mixed. Stone weighs 2 carats. Side stones are Maine Pink Tourmalines done in a freeform step Half Moonish. Stones weigh 1.27 carats total. Ring is done in 14K Palladium White and was executed by my friend, as well as photographed, by John Cooney.
Finally got around to cutting some of the nice Madagascan moonstone I bought at Tucson this year. I haven't had much luck finding high quality Indian moonstone in the rough--I think that most of it gets cut in country for obvious reasons. But some of the Madagascan is very nice too. Channel cut with simple gold wire setting.
I wish it were my idea--a friend of mine showed off some she'd done manually with a dremel, and I ended up getting a router with a diamond blade for the purpose. It is very easy to do and for some stones allows for a nice simple frame.
