10 YR Annivesary Pendant

[MoonMan]

Although we only got engaged last year my SO and I are coming up on our 10 year anniversary. Given the success I had, thanks to all of you, with the ring I thought I'd pitch an idea for a pendant.

I have little interest in specific birth/anniversary/traditional stones. More going on bright colours. Here's a mock up. There'd be a small loop at the top to string it on. It's kind of a faux Bulgari.

Any thoughts/ideas/opinions?

Thanks!

If you like bright colored CS jewelry, you might want to look at the pieces on this site:

FWIW I think her items are on the pricey side but her designs are suited to brightly colored statement pieces, might be good for your "inspiration" folder.

To me, its kind of like good hands in poker - you can either have a flush or a straight, but you can't mix and match.

So for me, the only way the pendant would work would be if you had stones of different color but similar saturation levels (or intensity of color); OR you had stones of one color family and had a range of tones and saturation levels. But its not as successful IMHO, to mix and match color and saturation level. HTH

I definitely understand what you're saying. I'd looked at some groups and something like this would certainly work.

The idea with the 10 stones is that each represents a year and every year has been different. I like the random shapes but the saturation could be more consistent.

I think it's a lovely idea.
