bronze Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'm having a ring made (or rather dh is, I'm organising) for my 30th I'm thinking in the style of a half eternity Basically I want all our birthstones which to start is easy me- jan- garnet ds1&3- april - diamonds dd- aug- periodot then the problems come in dh is oct and ds2 is dec which are normally opal and turquoise. Both being stones that can't be cut. Now I've searched around for alternatives but I dont want to s"Ooops, word censored!"e the barrel so want the most obvious alternatives. There seems to be several options for both. Which would you go for? How do I decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 What a lovely idea Bronze. What about October - tourmaline and December - blue topaz both can be cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
