Comments:
This custom gem is RIGHT at home here in rose gold. The shank is braided, with a solid piece opposite the stone which can be used for sizing. The morganite is set into a heavy-gauge cup, with four prongs holding it tight, and a post on either side for added protection.
This morganite gem was custom-cut by me in a design by Arya Akhavan. It gives great depth to the stone, which helps keep the pink color strong. It's a nice pink on it's own, but in the rose gold setting, it picks up all kinds of coppery pink and orange tones, and glows with warm color and light combinations.
There is an incidental 'star of david' pattern on the crown. Apart from adding lots of brilliance to the gem, it is also just plain cool.
