Heirloom sapphires
I have 2 oval yellow sapphires from 50s and 1 emerald cut from the 90s (all ceylon).The emerald cut was part of 18k gold ring which was barely worn and the gold was repurposed for something else. One of the oval pendant (clearer stone) was part of a pendant in 22k gold and the setting saw some wear and tear impacting the pendant and was removed from the setting. There is visible inclusion in the 2nd oval sapphire and has not been used in any jewellery - but was shaped for a pendant. All 3 have been not used since the 90s.
Planning to set them and haven't gotten them checked yet. The oval ones were gifted to grand mom by her uncle who had a jewellery store in the 50s. Emerald cut one was bought by grandpa as a gift but barely used when set in ring as grandmom found the stone too big for her hand.
Sharing with the group on ideas on how to repurpose them.
