OK. That's enormous ... some challenge to add anything.

Yeah for the octos. Could easily imagine more interesting precious rain drops then the bezels there. Especially if facets do not necessarily have to be involved.

I can sympathise with their choice of blue zircon for its sea color... I would expect uncut alluvial pebbles of this to slip down off the table like over-sized water droplets. Rough looks like water I think... and the high lustre helps, as does for diamonds themselves.

Jewelry materials are so beautiful by themselves sometimes... it makes quite a challenge to 'mess with perfection', change... work them into something else. Silly thing to say, perhaps .... But so real for pearls (that don't get modified much from origin to wear).
