Let me first declare that Brian, Lesley and Shandel are a joy to work with!!! They are masters and true artisans!
I had a 3.45 ct eternity band that I just stopped wearing, so I contacted BG to re-design it into a cross, on a DBTY chain. I wanted a simple prong cross, and with the leftover diamonds (the cross only needed 11 diamonds and there were 6 diamonds left) add them to the chain in bezels. Within a week of receiving my stones, BG sent me CADs of the proposed piece. Although the CAD made the pendant look bulky, Lesley assured me that the piece would be delicate. I had instructed BG to set the bezels evenly along the chain, but he had a better idea...space them at slightly increasing lengths, so that the diamonds didn't appear so visually standard. I was a little skeptical at first, because all DBTY chains I had seen were uniform in spacing. But, I trusted BG to know his craft well, so I gave him the green light. Thank goodness I did!
The finished piece is perfection! The gallery supporting the cross is so unique and pretty, the prongs secure the diamonds without overwhelming them, the bezels delicately frame the diamonds, I could go on and on. Overall, the necklace is more than I could have expected. If you notice in the neck shots, you can barely tell that the bezels are spaced at varying lengths, yet somehow, the different spacing adds a little more dimension to the necklace.
Thank you BGD, for your amazing customer service and unbelievable workmanship. You guys are truly exceptional!

Nice job, BG! I am not understanding what you mean about the bezel spacing, though, because they appear to be perfectly evenly spaced to me. Each bezel is directly across from another as far as I can see.
