I started with a large Tanzanite we had in our collection. If you have never seen the original strain of this stone you dont know what your missing. The first stones had the most amazing color. Most of the Tanzanite now is sort of transparent blue. This stone is velvety purple.
The design uses my new wedding cake setting style. The accent diamonds drape over the edge like the details on a wedding cake. I love this style.
Here is the render
And the final piece, notice the color of the stone and the detail of the side draping.
Im hoping to do more of this style.
