WhiteFlash Diamonds By The Yard Necklace

[jadeleaves]

Awww thanks everyone!

Leila: The diamonds do flip, but as val mentioned in my original thread, they are so tiny it doesn''t really matter. I had it on last night for a little while and most of them stayed flat, and the ones that didn''t were catching the light and throwing off heaps of sparkles!

Mara: The idea of the different sizes came about with input from fellow pricescopers after I mentioned I wanted different distance between the stones to break it up a little. I''ve worn it wrapped around, and it looked fabulous - the different sized stones really adds a little something to the piece! I don''t know who is that sassy chick in the pic (have to ask Denise), but the necklace looked great on her

The earrings are a very nice addition courtesy of the man who damaged my camera, AKA my husband. Here''s the conversation last night:

DH: "Wow the earrings looks nice. Does that mean I don''t have to replace your camera?"
JL: "UH-UH of course NOT. Duh!!"
DH: "Come on!"
JL: "How am I going to take pics for my pricescope buddies if I don''t have a camera?"
DH: "Damn, forgot about your DIAMOND forum mates!"

I promise to take pics of the double strand, and earshots when I can get hold of a camera!

xoxo jade.

WOW Jade! You have been a busy girl! I love your new set!

Ohh and another note about the earrings - in certain light, one of them looked slightly ''cloudier/milky'' than the other - I wonder if there''s fluorescence? I used my H&A viewer on them, and the slightly milky stone had fatter arrows. The sparklier stone had thinner arrows??? I vaguely recall reading something in RT about choosing slightly different stones for earrings but I didn''t pay enough attention, am going to find that thread now!

They still look marvelous though! Also, placed next to my .41 side stones in my 3stone ring, the size difference is negligible!

Just stunning - love that spiral picture of the necklace - talk about drool factor!

Wow, I love the necklace! And I love that you can wear it doubled or single!

The earrings sound great too.

I am so glad you went with three different sizes (I remember you were going to go with two at first) it adds a fun, new twist on a popular design.

Jade I would have pm you on this if the forum let you do this anyhoo I am a fellow Australian diamond lover and recently discovered this forum. I have been hoping to upgrade my ER for my 20th wedding anniversary and so have been researching like carzy over online versus Australian jewellers. I note that you have been buying some gorgeous stones and pieces from GOG and whiteflash. Can you tell me if you pay much duty on the stones etc?
The very exciting news is that I broached the subject with my husband today and he was very enthuastic and gave me an "oh my god are you sure!" budget so now the fun begins!
