Custom 1.21ct FLY Heart Vintage Inspired Pendant

[Catmom]

I had a [cough] "big" birthday in May. Leading up to it I knew my hubby was up to something with my jeweler. He couldn't take keeping a secret plus he was worried that I wouldn't like it so about 3 weeks before my birthday he spilled the beans. He has always known that I wasn't in love with my current FLY pendant so he and my jeweler were bringing in stones from Antwerp and he was having her make a new pendant. They ended up picking a 1.21 ct FLY heart diamond as the best of the bunch. He wanted the pendant to be right this time so we discussed my likes and dislikes which resulted in the pendant being stopped midstride and starting over. Good thing we had that talk! I didn't get it in time for my birthday or Vegas for that matter but the wait was well worth it. I love Edwardian or Art Deco pieces with all the detail work so that is what he asked for and I have to say, she really nailed it. I am totally in love with this pendant, it is so my style. My hubby is the best!!! Now for the specs and some pics........it's a 1.21 FLY heart shaped diamond with .28cttw F VS2 white halo and a .30 cttw FLY halo in an 18kt two tone setting. The bale is hand made and opens so that the pendant can go on any chain or pearls, etc.

WOW! I love that, Catmom! Your hubby is the best! Happy happy birthday! I love the same things you do in a piece, the delicate migraine and the lovely filigree work on the back! It makes the whole piece special. My goodness, that looks lovely on your neck! It is a perfect piece and I can see you getting a lot of wear out of it. Congratulations!

Yes, I am so very lucky that hubby supports my sparkly habit. I agree 100% with you. I want each of my pieces to be a little art statement.

Thank you Rubies-R-Me! Hubby told me his other choice was to get a ruby ring or this gorgeous ruby bracelet my jeweler has but he figured if he got one of those then it would start an entire new collection.

It's a lovely pendant, thanks for sharing!
Thank you dk168!
