Aquamarine design #1

I have been going back and forth with how to approach the design for this Aquamarine. Cabochons have a very soft, organic feel to them and part of me wants to play that up with a rounded band and some beautiful hand engraved leaves.
This one with its softened rectangular shape feels like it could use a more modern design to help show off the unique shape of the stone. It would also create a nice dynamic between the rounded shape of the stone and the crispness of the band edge and the channel set diamonds. I think I need to sketch up the more organic hand engraved version to see where it takes me...
