How would you reset this? Ideas please!

I bought a turquoise large stone ring set in silver a few months ago but it has been languishing in my jewellery box as I only really wear yellow gold jewellery. This is such a shame as the stone is lovely, so I am considering having it reset in yellow gold.

The only problem is, I need inspiration as to design! I could go with something similar to the current design or for something completely different. I want to showcase the gorgeous turquoise but also have something wearable for everyday. My style is classic, traditional but with a modern twist (don't like anything too fussy or vintage looking). I would be grateful for any ideas - if you can include photos that would be fab! TIA!

I think it would pretty bezel set in YG, with a matte finish (like the picture below).

It would look gorgeous set like Tiffany set Jade. Beautiful stone, OP!

Depending if you like a little bling but it could also be bezel set with a small halo of diamonds in yellow gold.

I think when reset with a less perfect shape it does look more fresh and modern, the stone is the centre of attention. Either way the stone itself is gorgeous with any setting.
Exemple of what I mean by less perfect shape, this is from etsy:

Oooh thanks for the ideas ladies, I love them! Definitely liking the idea of a matte finish and possibly having the stone set sideways/horizontally (forget the proper term!) rather than vertically as it is now.

I love diamond halos but think I prefer the simplicity of just the stone set in yellow gold, for some reason I don't like turquoise as a stone combined with diamonds.

If it were me, and I am jealous of how beautiful your turquoise is, I would have it set in rose gold in a simple setting. Rosier the better.

Ah thank you! To be honest it was very inexpensive as a ring, I just fell in love with the stone! Sadly white metals don't look great on me, so it has been sitting neglected in my jewellery box.

I do love the look of rose gold but sadly it doesn't look great on me either I have yellow tones in my skin so need the warmth of yellow gold.

Beautiful stone! I'd set it east / west in a yellow gold bezel setting.

Thanks! I think that this is what I'm going to do - haven't made a final decision yet on which way round the stone will be but love the idea of a simple matte yellow gold setting!
