I love the sound of the modifications you’re making, it’s going to be beautiful.I have a renewed admiration in brooches and have 2 conversions in the works.
This brooch was already a pendant conversion that was done poorly and hung vertically. It’s almost 2 inches long and didn’t look good that way on me.
I sent it to David Klass and having it mounted horizontally as shown.
It’s 14kt yellow gold on the sides and bottom now with a rhodium plate to the top. It has one small diamond in the middle. I am having it re-plated 14kt yellow gold to match the gold shade of the necklace. I didn’t know there were so many “shades” of yellow gold!
