What a stunningly gorgeous diamond this is! Can I ask where you're finding these stones? Are they on the High Performance Diamonds site? There don't seem to be stones for sale on the CBI site...or am I missing something?
I picked up the pendant today. The stone mounting needs to be changed to a six or eight prong basket and rotated correctly. Other than that I am very happy. When I pickup the current project I'll drop it off for the basket change. I would swap it for Sweetpea in a heart beat and cry with joy. (Yes I do wash my hands)
Wow, gorgeous diamond and gorgeous pendant. It all came together perfectly. What a meaningful piece and I know your wife will just love it. I am so sorry for your loss Joe and may this beautiful piece bring happy memories of all the love and joy you shared with your darling and beloved SweetPea. (((Hugs))).
Joe - have you considered using a rose gold basket? The pendant seems to have a bit of Rose tint, and the difference in the metal colors (very slight difference, I hasten to add) might show up resign more prongs. But I'm not sure how rose gold would affect the look of the diamond itself.
Thank you all for your kind comments. I'll have the bench guy bring in a rose gold basket or two and see how it looks. Thanks for the idea.
We took his rhino out to the desert over the weekend. It's was missing something special. He added so very much to my life.
