I have a pear shape stone a little under 3 carats that I want to have made into a pendant.
However, I thought there may be some people on here who could give me some input as to whether what I have in mind can be done and if so if it is practical.
Last summer, I attended a fabulous Jewelry Camp run by Joyce Jonas.(It will be given again this summer at a college campus in Long Island and I highly recommend it). One of the lecturers was Reema Keswani who wrote a book about the Shinde Jewels. It seems that many of the most fabulous jewels were made either in India or here by Indian jewlers, among them Shinde who worked for Harrry Winston Queen Elizabeth, the Sultan of Brunie, etc.
In this book, I found a Shinde design. In the center of a magnificent pin, a pear shaped diamond is outlined with yellow gold and surrounded by what looks like cabachon emeralds and a cabachon ruby at the top.
I was wondering whether anyone has ever heard of, or could make, a pendant with a sort of lock on mechanism to turn it inot a ring so it could be used both ways? Has anyone ever heard of this being done or is it an impossible venture?
