Hi everyone!
I’ve been working with a jeweller on a big diamond pendant for my 30th later this year, so appropriately the centre is to be a 30pter and it’s 30mm in diameter. I am wanting something substantial looking to wear to work in particular (professional office in the Jewellery field) over high neck tops but sometimes on skin. I’m very tall and busty so anything too small or light looking would not have enough impact IMO over clothes. I’ve gone back since this image and asked for the centre to be bezel set (its actually claw set here but sort of disappears in the “meatiness” of the rest of the piece, I’ve drawn over it with pen to see how it would look bezeled), for a smaller enhancer if possible and for the diamond grades to be IJ SI (although they’ll likely supply closer to I or better). JK SI is bang on budget so I’m already overspending to get whiter stones, my personal sweet spot is HI colour range but I do have a BGD J in a solitaire pdt which I’m happy with.
I’m waiting on a new drawing and updated price with these changes.
Questions;
Are the smalls too little at 1pt?
They were originally 1.7ptrs (which looked like it would be very blingy) but this was too expensive and might be “too much” (if there is such a thing).
Any thoughts about IJ colour diamonds on white metals? I’m nervous as it’s not my preferred colour range but I don’t want to blow the budget all together.
Any design changes I should consider? It’s supposed to look vaguely space inspired. I’m wanting to eventually get a reasonably sizeable DBTY to wear it on but at the rate I’m going I’m going to be wearing it on a rhodium plated silver chain for quite a while
Birthday is not till October but I want to order it soon so I can stop obsessing about it!
Thanks for looking
