Hi PSers, I have started a pendant project with DK to recreate an antique piece for my tourmaline. (That DH got me for my birthday... last August!)
Here is the inspiration piece with a 13 carat citrine in two-tone gold with yellow prongs. I believe the diamonds are single cuts.
My tourmaline is much smaller at 2.83 carats, so we have to scale the pendant down quite a bit. I initially liked the two-tone, but seeing my stone with white really makes it pop, so I asked for 14k palladium white gold. I also asked for single cut diamonds. My horrible mockups here.
He sent me a first set of CADs, which I attach here.
I told him i’d scrutinize the CAD and get back to him, but mentioned that would like to see the what the Greek key design (meander) (the top and bottom square curl thing) would look like in the side gallery where the circle triangle thing is now.
He sent me these CADs showing that element in the side gallery.
He did say that diamonds will be added to the bail and that all the millllegrain will be added by hand when finishing.
