Description My first go at setting a faceted stone - and I really like the result! This pendant was a gift to for her birthday, and I just didn't get around to posting it until now. It's a bloodstone cabochon and a trillion cut yellow sapphire set into sterling silver because she wanted "something green and yellow."

Bloodstones are great. I especially like the accent of the small stone on top.

I love how this one looks like atmosphere. In person, it's one of the best bloodstones I've ever seen.

It's gorgeous! And I think the delicate, multiple prong setting for the yellow sapphire really brings out additional sparkle in the stone.

Hehe, I cheated - I used serrated bezel wire, and it worked like a charm!

The detail on the sapphire setting is amazing, it's like the best parts of a bezel and prongs put together. The triangular edging to the setting echoes the shape of the stone, without being at all overpowering.

And as for the bloodstone, well... I would never have thought to put these stones together, but the warm tones complement each other so well!

I don't know why when I thought "yellow stone" I immediately wanted to use a yellow sapphire. Maybe it's just because I've never worked with that stone before, but I do enjoy making unusual stone combinations. The only value a stone has is the value we assign it, so I do think that in terms of beauty, these two are well matched Thanks!

That is GORGEOUS! I'm jealous ^^ I like how the yellow sapphire (I thought it was topaz at first o.O) is set above the bloodstone, it reminds me of those satelite pictures of the sun rising over the edge of the planet.

You win! I thought the bloodstone looked like Jupiter, so I wanted to stay with a celestial theme, I'm so glad you caught that!
