Half carat OEC pendant project

[MissGotRocks]

It is pretty and looks very nice on you. If you didn’t want to spend any more money on it, and didn’t like the amethyst, you could simply eliminate the drop. However, if you like the color, then you are good to go! The diamond looks great in the pendant!

Your stone looks perfect in it, and I really like it with the amethyst! I vote keep it as is!

Oh I love it! I think the pop of color is very fun. Looks like an elven queen!

Okay just realized you said ELVEN queen. When I read your comment before I read it as “Looks like an ELEVEN, queen!” And I thought maybe you’d been watching some Drag Race tonight

I appreciate both sentiments.

I think it's lovely and also think that 6 prongs are plenty to make it secure. The ones who look like they could use retipping seem to be pretty evenly spaced and not all grouped together. Wear it in good health and enjoy it!

Oooh she's here! The diamond is soooo pretty and this is such a unique piece. LOVE!

@EllieTO Yeah the diamond is wonderful. It’s a 0.54ct J VVS1 per its report, not GIA and I think it’s more likely to be a K faint brown. It has probably the best classic OEC cut of any diamond I’ve owned. I think she deserves to be the center of a special piece.

I wasn’t sure how her color would look set but the light return is so good it’s just a sparkly white dot



This pretty pearl is on my way. I’m looking forward to seeing it and how it would look on the pendant. I find the amethyst is quite dark and it flips so I’m curious how I feel about this pearl which looks very shiny.

I really like the idea of a pearl. I liked the two amethysts in the original design, but your diamond is obviously better, and now the lone amethyst is really out of place. What is the size of the pearl, compared to the existing amethyst?

About the same size. Amethyst is about 4x6 and pearl is 4.7x5.8. I wanted the keep the proportions as they are just right.

Definitely both sentiments! I really love it. I think that pearl could be really fabulous too. Always fun to have a project!

Agreed!

I’m taking my time about any more changes. I agree the amethyst isn’t totally cohesive but in person it just looks like a pretty pop of color and I don’t mind it. I will see how I like the pearl… and tonight I was imaging a diamond drop again.

This is stunning! It's such a beautiful diamond and I love the proportions of the pendant alone and as a necklace on you. Seems much more 'you' than a solitaire would have been, too!

I feel like you have lots of purples or things that go with purples in your other jewelry so even if you never add another amethyst I think it will still be cohesive. I'm looking forward to seeing the pearl option, though!
