In the name of an everlasting bond, a Toi et Moi earring-pendant by Parks Fine Group

[Elysian]

These beautiful cushions were offered on Parks IG. I envisioned them sitting together side by side...
1.06ct GIA LVS1

1.05ct GIA KSI2


After sketching a few ideas I decided on a single earring, one that could be worn also as a pendant. Collet style, sorta convertible.14k rose gold with fronts rhodium plated. Plat hooks.

My doodle sketch:

In search of a heart, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to inquire about the little pink hearts Parks recently posted on IG.
Alex suggested this .15ct cutie for the bezel.

CADs!

Removable clips. Let’s cut here in yellow:


And a bail for pendant wear.
Here’s preview pic from Alex:

Many thanks to Alex and his team for this super fun project that has so much meaning to me!

This piece was made to honor my sheltie girl. We’ve been best buddies since 2008. “J” fought cancer this March and is winning. She is my co-traveler, teacher of unconditional love, my furry soul mate. Best friends forever.

So elegant, original & beautiful! And oh your dog is gorgeous too!

I wondered if you could do a clasp like that.

I love it and how versatile it is!

What a fun and beautiful piece! Your dog looks like a love!

Gosh, this is utterly lovely!

Omg thank you so much for posting! I love this design and it's really inspired me with my design too! If it's not too much to ask, could you please post a profile pic of your earring/pendant? I was wondering what the collet style looks side on as an inspiration for a ring. How lovely that you have such a versatile piece to wear and one that has such a significance. I too am a dog lover so diamonds and doggies are a girl's best friend.

From Tiffany, Save the Wild lion charm. Good cause and looks like “J”

I am a fellow animal lover, have 3 cats I love to bits and I just got a collie pup yesterday and am looking forward to having a bond like you have with your baby girl...

Lovely piece and sentiment!

Thanks everyone!
@maryjane04 a profile for you:

Thank you so much. I think it could work nicely in a ring as the usual collet settings tend to cover the side of the diamond all the way to the finger. I don't know if I am making sense. But I think this could work! Really appreciate you taking the photo for me <3

 

[blingthing]

Gorgeous and I’m a dog lover too... your doggy is adorable!

 

[Dandi]

This is spectacular, and so unique! What a stunning way to honour your girl, she is truly beautiful

 

[joelly]

Wow this is amazing!!!! You are very creative!

Thanks for the love everyone!

That’s true, some collet designs cover the girdle, like a bezel with prongs. I think leaving the girdle exposed maximizes light performance with the look of a bezel. I look forward to seeing your new ring!

Lovely piece and sentiment!

My cat thinks he’s a dog. However my dog is convinced the cat and my son are her sheep. Your collie will have fun rounding (and protecting) your cats!

Gorgeous! I think I saw these somewhere on IG. I guess they were yours!! Congratulations @Elysian . What a stupendous bling year for you. Thank you for continuing to share to give us happy blingy eye candy!

 

[pearaffair]

I love the asymmetry of the one earring. What will you wear on the other side?

As it turns out I love taking pics! Thanks for your kindness.

@pearaffair -this is the current other ear situation. Black by BG diamond stud and a silver cuff to accompany this little lion charm from Tiffany.

And a blurry selfie pic (it’s better that way haha)

I love your style! Where is the silver cuff from?

 

[Elysian]

@pearaffair - I got the cuff from a jewelry stand in Hawaii. Check out farisfaris!

I saw this on his page and loved it! It looks amazing on you and what a beautiful sentiment. Hope all goes well with your brave fur baby.

Thank you @Polabowla J is an incredible dog, I feel very lucky to have her in my life.

I wondered if you could do a clasp like that.

I love it and how versatile it is!

Thank you @whitewave The altered earring clasp makes just about any pendant wearable as an earring. Well with the right size bail. I have been wearing it solely as an earring. I may just have to make another for the other ear, but slightly different.

What a fun and beautiful piece! Your dog looks like a love!

Thank you @tyty333 She’s the sweetest, she is pure love.

Gosh, this is utterly lovely!

Thank you @Alex T

Thank again @maryjane04 your dog in avatar looks like a bundle of joy.

I was thinking the same thing— you need to make another eating! They dangle beautifully.
