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?

That is stunning!!! It will be fabulous as necklace or bracelet!
 
Damn, girl! That's niiiiice!
 
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!
 
That is just fab-u-lous :kiss2: I second @Mreader, it would be a gorgeous bracelet.
 
Congrats! Absolutely stunning!!!! Can’t wait to see the conversion no matter what choice you make. Either option will look amazing. Love the detail on this.
 
Looooove it!
 
Amazzzzzzzzzzzzing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
 
It’s so amazing! I vote for a bracelet! You can look down and see it all the time that way!
 
Oh my god!
 
I vote bracelet too!!
 
@nala that is amazblingly gorgeous

Please pass the smelling salts

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

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 forgot to add ...

This brooch is BEAUTIFUL! I adore the old cuts - I bet this is a firestorm in low light.

Awesome!!!
 
I second the cheap-UV-flashlight recommendation. Fun for days! Check out ALLLLLLL your gems and treasures! You'll be amazed at what you see!
 
Gosh it's gorgeous!!! I agree that it would make the most fabulous bracelet!
 
:appl: Yay Nala! It's soooo fun to get a piece that you have been stalking for a while.. it makes it extra special. The stones are absolutely stunning and the design just flows.
Enjoy! Enjoy Enjoy!! :wavey:

I think I would choose a bracelet just so I could look at it all the time. =)
 
Whoa @nala!!!! This is Goregous and finding a piece this beautiful is hard to come by. I’m so happy you found this! It’s truly STUNNING!

Oh I love it. I want to wear it in my hair!
 
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
