Thanks so much @purplesilk !Smart gal !!!
...and gorgeous jewel !!!
AMAZING. How creative, and I am so happy for you for finding your white whale!
How lucky are you? Is your jeweler going to check the entire piece to make sure this won't happen to any of the other stones?
I see you answered my question while I was typing it!
I love this happy ending, you must have great karma.
Wow!!! What a find! So glad it's now the "one that DIDN'T get away!!"
It's perfect!!!!
This is genius. I absolutely love it!
This is amazing!! So happy you found the diamond! Looks lovely as a necklace as well…dual purpose FTW!
Wow - so amazing that your sister found that diamond!!! Lucky is right but so happy for you as I can only imagine how devastated you felt. Just received it and a diamond fell out - I am sure your jeweler will reinforce whatever needs to be done.
Thanks @Austina <3No words
@TruLuv858 thank you! I am in obsessed with itAhhh!!! Can’t believe I missed this post!!! It’s GORGEOUS!! And JOTW!! So well deserved @lulu_ma
What a scare but also how fun to see one of these babies naked like this. The proportions are divine. These are old old cuts, bordering OMCs. What a real treasure to own such a piece of history
Thank you so much @DmdRunnerCongrats! What a gorgeous bracelet!!! #dreams
Absolutely STUNNING @lulu_ma
Another fan here with the creativity and resourcefulness of your new piece! Lovely both on your beautiful rest and neck! Enjoy it for years to come!
Seriously this is ingenious- beautiful on the wrist and on your neck- wear in good health!
@ExplorePS thanks so much and I am sorry that I missed your comment earlier!
Thank you @gemstonerock ! I admit that I wear it as a bracelet more often so I can look at it
Here's a summer look...
This is amazing. i cannot believe more bracelets are not made versatile like this. You should definitely stack!
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:
I am SUPER excited that I was able to make the conversion work. I've increased my CPW (cost per wear) by two-fold!
