French cut funky DBTY necklace in 18k RG by Jewels by Grace

[evergreen]

So, Grace came to town, and I went to her show thinking, I'll just learn about warm-colored stones and have fun playing with pretty things... and then I walked away with this. I've just never seen anything like it!! It's such a fresh take on DBTY and I have to say, French cuts are basically the PERFECT stone for DBTY or anything else where flipping is potentially a problem because they look fantastic right-side-up AND upside-down!

1.38cttw and I don't know color or clarity (um probably should ask her about that) but, y'know, "white without big boogers" is generally enough for me.

Sorry everything's blurry or otherwise suboptimal. Just phone camera shots and my phone camera isn't the best... can't find my camera-camera, though, and my 4-month-old is choosing not to nap long enough for me to do a proper search!

Beautiful! And you're right about French cuts flipping over - you can't see any real difference!

Gorgeous!!! Congratz on picking up this piece- I was stalking it for awhile and seriously contemplated contacting her about it if it didn't sell during the show the rose gold looks really lovely on your skin and it suits you beautifully!!

i think i saw this on her instagram - it's such a clever piece beautiful!

Curses! I wrote out a nice thoughtful reply and thought I submitted it but it is gone! Maybe lost in the ether with the new forum?? Anyway...

LLJsmom, thank you! I love it.

ac117, thanks!!

Alex, it never occurred to me til i tried it on -- yet another reason I cannot understand why frenchies are so hard to find! C'mon, world, they are so fabulous!

tyty, thanks! I envision it as my fabulous everyday diamond necklace. You know, in a world where I wear a diamond necklace every day.

Crystal, haha, I hadn't planned to buy... maybe next time you'll get there first so I don't have to wade through my gazillion-dollar-impulse-buy guilt.

azstonie, thank you!!

JDDN, I hope RG never goes out of style. It's so beautiful on a huge range of skin tones!

Groucho, thanks!

poshmommy, I could do no less -- a necklace buy with no neck shots is like... a peanut butter sandwich. Better than nothing, but oh man, you miss the jelly!

peony, thank you! I don't think it ever made it to her site, just FB and Insta, which teaches me the importance of social media... I guess it's how the cool kids get their information these days!

 

[Austina]

Lover-ly!

 

[missy]

I love this necklace. Elegant and graceful. Just lovely.

 

[marcy]

It turned out great. It looks fabulous on you.

 

[Snowdrop13]

Wow, I saw this on IG too and thought it was beautiful! It's the perfect piece, unique and well designed. It really suits you!

 

[Fulvia]

Likewise admired this on IG! Such a beautiful and unique piece. Congrats!!!!

 

[Resonance.Of.Life]

Lovely buy! I love the rose gold against your skin tone-- it suits you well !

I was intrigued by this necklace when Grace first posted about it, but was gun shy because I didn't think that I could pull something like this necklace off. Yup, it's meant to be that this gorgeous dbty graces your neck! It looks perfect on you - graceful and elegant!

 

[Bonfire]

I love this! It's such a unique and beautiful piece. It looks perfect on you!

 

[lorrissey]

I am absolutely cuckoo for this!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Wow, thanks everyone! The site migration has thrown me for a loop & I no longer was getting emails about all your nice words... made my day to see this thread pop back up with a fancy "alert."

Thanks, @Austina ! (also, what is this, the @ thing actually tags someone now? I don't know. Trying it for the first time...)

Thank you, @missy ! Elegant and graceful is totally aspirational-me.

@marcy , thank you!

@Snowdrop13 it's the second twist on a DBTY that I've seen! (The first was "sprinkle" style.) Seriously, I would not have thought that there existed a second twist.

@Fulvia thanks!

@Resonance.Of.Life thank you! Everything in my life is slowly migrating to rose gold... as a pink-undertoned redhead I wouldn't have thought that another throwing another red-pink color into that mix would work, but I guess it does!

@PintoBean thanks! PS We have that litter box, too!!

@Bonfire thank you! Someday I plan to take really nice pictures... I think it's even better in person, & I wish my photos captured that!

 

[athenaworth]

I have mad love for French cuts and man this is just awesome!! Love it!

 

[evergreen]

@lorrissey , we cross-posted! (Or something? Boy, those timestamps don't make it look like we did, but I swear I didn't see your post til just now!) Also haha thank you so much

@athenaworth I had never seen them in person but now I understand the PS fervor around them -- they've got the same chunky flash so many of us have fallen in love with in the old cut stones!

 

[Loreal]

Gorgeous! I want one too!
