It's a power brush not a snowblower.

Amethysts, which are her birthstone. She already has an Amethyst ring and necklace so this completes the ensemble.
I am quietly designing something for her to wear at our son's wedding.
Something with a little more flash but sort of an elegant oooh type thing.
Gathering the right stones will be the hard part. Earrings are tough because you need two matching stones.
And I thinking of using a range of color tones.

Wait until you see how the jackets turn out.
Current thinking is .75-1 ct pale blue diamond, linked to 1.5-2 ct medium blue diamond, finally a 2.25-3 ct pear.teardrop.
Complementary 4 ct single pear necklace.
like this but lighter. color

I don't know that I've ever seen a blue diamond. Tanzanite has a nice blue/purple color. I have a tanzanite/diamond ring, an oval pendant, oh and a bracelet. I wear the ring sometimes.

Since they are lab created they can add dopants to infer color. They get a fairly wide range of effects from barely a trace to really dark.
These are midrange I'm looking at.



The gears are turning in my head, to buy stones and fabricate setting myself.

They look great. You might want to practice with something really cheap first. Having one fall out would not go well.
