Hi,
I'd really appreciate some opinions on the engraving on this pendant. I'll preface this by saying that I'm a little emotional as a result of family bereavements, I've been waiting a while for the pendant and I'm emotionally invested in it as moonstone is my children's birthstone (I know for the purists that rainbow moonstone isn't actually the same mineral as moonstone so it's not technically correct, but it's close enough for me!).
These are the pictures I sent for the engraving style - DS's pendant and I can't remember who the ring belongs to:
These are the pics I have of my pendant. I've asked Caysie as it doesn't look similar to me, although I'm finding the detail quite hard to see in the pictures. She's said it's the same style but smaller (as there wasn't space on the pendant for the same, but had I known that I would have gone with a different finish), but it looks very different to me, less crisp, more billowy in style, and it sort of peters out in the areas under where the prongs are situated. I appreciate the edges where the prongs are situated are very short so couldn't have the same pattern, but does it seem like a very abrupt change?
Am I tired and emotional and just not seeing the pictures clearly, or does it look way less precise/crisp? I had asked for the millegrained lines radiating out across the metal halo (as in the ring inspo) as I love the way it delineates the individual sections of the halo, but there apparently wasn't room for it.
In general I'm backwards in coming forwards, so a second opinion would be very much appreciated.
