CADs for LAD Pendant Project - thoughts and feedback?

[tsavvy]

I've been working with Erica for several months on two pendant projects. I really liked a pendant on her site and asked if she could make something similar, but with open scrolly sides with so that it could be worn either horizontally or on the diagonal. Just got the CADs in - the diamond is 0.72 ct and 5.7 - 5.8mm, for a sense of size of the pendant.

I would appreciate any thoughts or feedback on the design. I really like it, but want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

I like this design - I especially like your idea to make it convertible so it can hang square or compass - will the metal all be high-polish or are you considering a matte finish? More deets please!

I love this Really cool that it's convertible, what a great idea! I'm no expert on cads but really think it's perfect.

Well I looked and looked, tilted my head both ways and looked some more and I just can't find anything that I would change to improve it. It is gorgeous

I like the design but will you be able to get in there to clean the pavilion?

Thank you, everyone, for the nice comments and feedback. I appreciate your taking the time to look at the CADs and think about the design! I couldn't see anything to change about it and am glad that it looks good to the eagle eyes of the PS community

In response to specific questions:

The finish will be high polish, inside and out! The pendant will be platinum. No chain picked out yet... The diamond came from a two-diamond bypass ring I had.

The back will be completely open, so the diamond should be easy to clean. Here's the CAD rendering:

I like it too! Great design!

 

[RockOnReen]

I agree -- awesome design that I'd love to have myself!

Thank you for the additional comments - I've asked Erica to go ahead with it so now happily awaiting its completion (and trying to pick out a chain for each of the pendants she is making)!!

Asscherhalo_lover and RockonReen: Please steal/copy/revise away - some of my favorite pieces of jewelry are variations on pieces I've seen on PS

Along the same lines as the cleaning question, are the holes big enough to get the chain in and out? The clasp on chains is usually pretty large and threading it through could be difficult.
