Smart gal !!!I am SUPER excited that I was able to make the conversion work. I've increased my CPW (cost per wear) by two-fold!

In an unfortunate turn of events, I somehow lost one of the bigger stones yesterday. I ran a lot of errands yesterday so I am not hopeful. I have never lost a diamond of this size before (lost a melee from an earring once)
Thanks for everyone's lovely comments! I will get back to you all once this situation is resolved.

Haha-I want that baby back on my wrist asap. I already dropped it off at my jewelers!
I did weigh it and it’s .46 ct-SO glad my sis found it!!!
That is so scary!!! I'm so glad you found it!!!
Please have your jeweller check it over to make sure none of the other stones are at risk of falling out
Thank you @MissGotRocks ! I feel fortunate to have found it!Beautiful piece and love the dual versatility! You did very well!
@Slickk thanks so much!! The dual purpose make it more justifiable--hahaha.What an amazing piece!! Very happy that you were able to find it!! And yassss to #winning in the ‘cpw’ aspect!! Did I already say how amazing it is?? Love love love it!
What a stunner! And I've never come across a bracelet like this - what a find!!
Congratulations!
The bracelet was a little snug so I determined that I would change the clasp.
Also, I wanted to make the bracelet more versatile. I set about trying to come up with a creative solution. Luckily, I had this convertible bracelet in my inspo file.
First, I decided that I wanted a barrel type clasp versus a lobster clasp. This is the best white gold finding that I could procure quickly.
I then ordered a few different tester chains to pair with the bracelet. The smallest bezel measures 3.5 mm. I settled upon a 3 mm white gold ball chain. I actually searched for anklets because I only needed 9 to 10" in length!
Here's the end result:

Thank you@pomelo !Not only is it the perfect bracelet, it’s also the perfect necklace!!
It’s amazing that you managed to find a similar bracelet again, and cannot believe how great the conversion turned out!
Thank you for sharing the conversion process with us. I reckon you’ve started a trend for… bracelaces(?)
Blown away that this came back to you. It’s a stunning bracelet & I love the conversion option too!
Congratulations!
Meant to be @lulu_ma !!!

@kathley thank you for your kind words!What a beautiful conversion necklace! All of your pieces are stunning!
Thanks @AllAboardTheBlingTrain ! I know you talked about a conversion on another -so I knew it was possible. I just had to figure out how to get it done quickly and more 'off the rack.'I love the conversion idea!! It’s such an amazing way to get more wear out of the piece. Love it!!
And it’s gorgeous - both ways! So happy for you that you found the one that got away

@plad25 Thank you so much!Wow. What a great idea! It looks fabulous both ways!
