Oval 10.96 carat about 18x13 mm cut by Dan Stair. Pendant designed by me with help from The CAD artist at a local B&M store using 10k gold and lab diamonds for the halo (I didn’t want to out pace the stone with the setting). The chain is 14k white gold 2.3mm cable chain (I think lol), 0196FB9A-D706-485F-8A87-62B65CE68BA5.jpeg

and of course, I think most of you have seen my ring: 8 carats cut by Gary Braun and ring made by Brian Gavin.

Note, the oval does have slight side windows but it’s 11 carats and the price was exceptional for the stone. It’s also light medium blue whereas the ring and the earrings are medium blue.

Oh, and I asked for the airline on the halo.

The set isn’t matching, which is how I like it anyway— I like each piece to have it’s own flavor.

The following photos do not do the set justice— much more beautiful in person....

The pendant blends much better with the set in person when they aren’t right next to each other.

I love them all @whitewave. Is the pendant comfortable to wear? Is there any poking?

Love it!

I love the continuity and the differences in your pieces, they're not to matchy matchy but totally have a similar vibe.

That pendant is gorgeous on you @whitewave . What is it about aquamarines that make them seem like they have magical powers? The whole suite is stunning on you. Congratulations! Lovely collection.

It's a beautiful set, and I particularly love the fact that the pieces are non-matching.

Gorgeous, every single piece. May I ask where you sourced the lab diamonds for the pendant?

The jeweler sourced them. I know Stuller sells lab diamond melee but I don’t know that is from where he sourced them.

Thank you everyone for such kind words. I want to do individual replies, but my lazy Sunday turned into chaotic, busy Sunday with work, so please indulge me until tomorrow


When I do replies, I like to be present in the comments and t thoughtful. So I’d rather wait until I have time to give you my full attention. Thanks for understanding.

What a great set, @whitewave! That aquamarine in your ring is just :o:o:o:o:o:kiss2::kiss2::kiss2::kiss2::kiss2:!!!

I LOVE the size of your pendant. I want to do an opal one, and *just* after I'd convinced myself that 11x8 with a few diamonds thrown in to beef it up would do, you go show me this beauty and I realize I need 18 x 13!!

Seriously tho - congratulations on this gorgeous suite. I love the non-matchy-matchy feel of it - yet the overarching sense of cohesion it has. So elegant!

Wear in good health, @whitewave. May every piece - and your brand new knees! - take you everywhere in life you wish to go.

I love the colors @whitewave! They all so gorgeous! I think it’s more interesting and pretty when they each have their own flavor. They definitely look like they’re a family though...You have a beautiful collection!
