I just had a birthday and decided that what I'd like most is to get a heart-shaped 15.93 carat Morganite set that I bought from Paraiba International back in 2016. From the fabulous and creative studios of Courtney Poole Pendergrast (https://www.poole-pendergrast.com/) comes this stunner! It is a fabulous pendant set in 14kt palladium white gold. Featuring 1.36ctw of diamonds harvested from rings that had been my grandmother's, this necklace is so much fun to wear. That pear shaped diamond on top is the particular diamond that launched my fixation on pear-shapes. I can remember staring at it when I was about 4-5 years old! The necklace features over 14" of hand-filigreed work and all of the diamonds are bezel set and round except for the one pear. She even added a little filigreed heart charm to the back of the clasp (can be worn at 16 or 18 inches) and I've discovered that I like to have it peek out around the corner. I also like to stack it with a tiny diamond pendant for fun. So fabulous. I'm over the moon for it!
