Setting it in a ring
The long 11x8 mm outline looks smart in a men's ring or a slim women's ring. Yellow gold matches the orange warmth, while silver gives a cooler contrast.
Four corner claws or a bezel both suit this shape. Tell us which look you like, and we can advise.
Store the loose stone in its own pouch until it is set. That keeps its corners safe from knocks and scratches.
