Ummmm. I have been stalking this brooch for a year. And today it happened! I am over the moon! I plan to make it a pendant or a bracelet—prob a pendant bc it deserves to been seen by all! And it’s long enough so that I can enjoy it! Can anyone tell me if the stones have blue fluorescence based on these pics?

It’s so amazing! I vote for a bracelet! You can look down and see it all the time that way!

It's lovely Nala. You didn't ask for opinions, but it's PS, soooo :bigsmile: I vote for bracelet also unless you intend to make the pendant east/west rather than north/south.

HI:

Stunning!! What is the gram weight? I ask because heavy jewellery is not always comfortable regardless how it is worn.

That said, I would have a transformer piece. Bracelet and pendant.

cheers--Sharon

DEETS stat! Size of stones for example? And what made you buy it after stalking for a year? Finally pulled trigger? Did it go on sale? I’m a bit in the same boat so curious :)

I think it would be an amazing bracelet!

Ok. Platinum. 2 biggest ones are .50 and middle .20. The rest all seem to range between .07 to .05

It was on sale!! Omg. I paid on third of the original asking price!

I think it’s like 9 grams. Which doesn’t feel heavy to me.

Hi Nala, I can't tell by the picture (fluorescence) but I bought a cheap UV flashlight from Amazon because I am like a child with fluorescent stones. When they light up it is a bonus in my book.


Something like....The shiny stone GLOWS IN THE DARK!!!!...
Ugh, I am 58.

I think I would choose a bracelet just so I could look at it all the time. =)

Such a beautiful brooch! And a third of the price after a year of stalking?? Makes it even more special and a sign that it was meant to be yours! I think it would look amazing as either a bracelet or necklace and can’t wait to see what you choose! Congrats!!

So I was asked to add my new ring here! Happy to oblige!
It’s platinum and 2 stones are about .60 each but I don’t know if I would call them oec or old mine cuts! A2B3A296-9E17-4957-A48F-10197B55A0FF.jpeg
