New Pendant

Beacon Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,734 Last Post: 11/9/2009 Member Since: 7/14/2006	I just got this yesterday. It is a longish story. I had decided to turn my solitaire RB into a 3 stone, composed of 3 RBs. I bought one of the RBs and really liked the stone. Then, I bought a CZ version of the finsihed product. I was lucky to find a CZ very similar in proportions to the 3 stone I was considering. I looked and looked at it. My husband looked and looked. In the end, we liked it, but we were not "Wowed". I had the one side stone though and by then I had fallen in love with it. I was still in the 30 day return period, but decided to keep it and make a pendant. I shopped some stores and found this setting at Geoffrey's in San Carlos, CA. It wasn't exactly what I had in my mind, but I decided to go for it. They set my stone while I waited!! Instant gratification! I walked out with my new pendant and I really, really love it!

Beacon Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,734 Last Post: 11/9/2009 Member Since: 7/14/2006	The chain - well...... It is just a chain I already had and grabbed last night from the box and it's sterling silver . I do like the style of that chain with the pendant, but I am going to shop for something in white gold to go with it better. I got this other idea I have to run by the jeweler. I have on old pair of channel set diamond and emerald earrings that I never wear. I am thinking of having them take the earrings apart, there are 8 diamonds, maybe 5-6pts each, and make a imitation "Diamonds by the Yard" type chain for this pendant. I know I would like it and then get much more use out of those stones than what I do right now. I am hoping they wouldn't charge me a fortune to do such a thing.

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,927 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	haha beacon i was thinking ...gosh that chain looks like a silver ball chain! hahaa. then i saw what you posted. i'd get a really thin cable link chain but those are my fave type chains anyway, i like when they melt into your skin and all you see is the pendant. the diamond looks really lovely in that setting!! how fun that you kept the diamond to make a pendant, and figured out that a solitaire is the way to go after all. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Beacon Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,734 Last Post: 11/9/2009 Member Since: 7/14/2006	Good eyes Mara! Yup, I just couldn't get used to the 3 rounds idea. It's a beautiful format, but I just couldn't quite "see" it for myself 365 days of the year. Now I get to carry on in the search for the ultimate setting. Ok, yes, I know, Holy Grail et al.......

Beautiful, congrats! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

The scalloped halos really give it a delicate look though I imagine it is not a tiny pendant. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup, I'll put some together. I shopped for a new chain today. I was lucky enuf to have time to stop by a trunk show for Michael Beaudry and saw the perfect chain - but, ah, just a little tiny bit costly for that pendant ( by a factor of 10!). I am liking the idea of a Diamonds by the Yard style chain and saw quite a good one at Nordstrom Fine Jewelry, of all places. Would rather get it off the sterling silver one for neck shots, we'll see.
