Its cool sky-blue color would pair naturally with white gold or platinum, while yellow or rose gold could create a warmer contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA small natural diamond halo could add brightness and create a larger face-up appearance. For a ring, we recommend asking your jewelry maker to protect the pointed end with a V-shaped prong or a secure bezel. The stone may also suit a pear-shaped semi-mount jewelry setting, but the jeweler should confirm the exact measurements before beginning the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf this is your first loose gemstone purchase, visit our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sapphirepal.com\/pages\/first-time-gemstone-buyer-guide\"\u003eFirst-Time Gemstone Buyer Guide\u003c\/a\u003e.
