    It needs to be large too thats the other aspect.
    Wards have a huge array of sparklies and I picked one link to get you started. Just a thought though, would a specially made glass one be of any use. There are so many fab glass artists about that are so skilled and fabulous. Even worth asking if they could make a hole in it where you need too.

    Oh, hadn't even thought of that, could be an idea thanks Wallace.
    Where would I find one? Etsy?
    Although cost might be an issue as funds are limited :/

    You could actually do even better than a hole if you wanted - you cold have an emerald green glass headpin made which you could incorporate directly into the design.

    Linda Newman does a nice job on this sort of thing - might be worth dropping her an etsy convo (!!!) to see if she could do something for you?

    She can't do it, I think maybe because its faceted

    I don't think a pear shape stone would work either as don't they all have flat backs? I know the ones I have used did.
    Thats why I got the emeralds as they are cut all round.
    I have managed to drill 2 small holes but still worried about whether the tip will be too fragile exposed if I set the middle and top and have the tip as he wants it, any more thoughts on that anybody?
    Thanks

    I think, he will have to be asked the question and go from there.

    The exposed tip will be very vulnerable Sarah.....I wouldn't do it!! Can it have a V shaped claw to protect it??
