I might have a similar design made someday but a little different outline.
Also would use colored gemstones instead of diamonds.
I love this type of design.

Can't wait to see it when you do!

Here's another pendant I used for inspiration. This one, I will probably one day buy. But it's much more formal (and not contemporary enough)than I wanted for this project (and it's very pricey, because it's designer Leslie Green).

Like I said... it's much more formal (and therefore busy). I didn't want Pave on this project. But I think the outline has a lot of potential, and since you mentioned a different outline, I thought I'd post it. I've tried this one on. It's very... princess-ey. Which a girl likes everyone once in a while....

 

[isaku5]

Wow! Wow! and Wow! to your latest project, Layla!

I''m starting to get caught up on my e-mail reading, and came across this thread. When you spoke of your diamond pendant project, I pictured a single stone on a chain, but these pictures blow me away! No wonder Storm said he loved it, it''s beautiful

Congratulations! Oh and did you and John spring for the Memoire wedding band at Christmas (or am I way out in left field on that one too

)

 

[Gypsy]

Hi Isaku... I saw this yesterday and couldn''t respond. But I wanted to so badly!

I HAVE MISSED YOU!!! How are you?

This Pendant blew me away too! I am very excited! It''s going to be a lovely piece, and I think it will put many of the shadows that remain from the robbery to rest.

As for the Memoire band, no we didn''t. Our TV was threatening to die (was doing really horrible things) so we ended up getting a nice new TV instead. And now we both enjoy it every day! I''m happy with the choice. I''ve actually gotten VERY VERY attached to my wedding band. And I don''t see myself getting another for a while. Maybe never, honestly. Right now, the only thing I am likely to do (after my pendant, some earrings, and a bracelet) is to get another Scott Kay to match my current e-ring. And wear it on the other side of my e-ring.

I adore the memoire and do eventually want a RHR from them, but... that''s further down the line (5 years??).

Did you make any decisions about your Princess re-set project? How is that coming along? I''ve been thinking of you everything I see a ''soft'' square halo.


Other than that, I''m doing okay. John and the cats are good. And we''re re-doing our living room (desperately in need of an overhaul) frugally. So I''m looking at entertainment centers for out new TV. That''s about it.

 

[Steel]

Wow.

What a beautiful design

.

 

[Gypsy]

Thank you very much Steel!

 

[GoodSoul]

I saw it a couple of days ago and was busy drooling over it that I forgot to post!!! It''s BEAUTIFUL!!! You guys have great taste!!!

Can''t wait to see the finished product!!

 

[Diamond Princess]

Due to a "glitch" I wasn''t able to post until now so I apologize for jumping in soooo late!

Holy guacamole!!!!!!!

Gypsy- it''s absolutely DIVINE!!!! I am definitely going to need a bib for when you post the neck shots!!!

 

[Diamond*Dana]

I missed this, not sure how I did!
This is GORGEOUS! I really love it!

 

[Gypsy]

Thank you so much Good Soul!!! I can''t wait either!

I''m glad you worked the glitch out DP! Thank you!

Thank you so much DD I love it as well!

 

[loriken214]

AWESOME....AMAZING PENDANT!!!!

Lori

 

[MMT]

Oh I love it, I will be looking for those neck shots

 

[Kay]

The design is gorgeous! I can''t wait to see the finished product.

 

[LtlFirecracker]

Wow, that is beautiful.

 

[dani13]

This is going to be one amazing piece, Gypsy!!!!! Cant wait to see it completed!!!!

 

[EricaR]

Is it here YET???? How about now? Maybe now?

I am sooooo excited for you! Not as excited as I will be for me once I get them going on my wedding band. But still pretty freakin'' excited!

 

[miraclesrule]

Yeah, where are the neck pics??

 

[Gypsy]

Wow. My thread was revived!

THANK YOU LORI, MMT, KAY, LT, DANI, ERICA AND MIRACLES. (YAY Erica's new band!! We are going to need lots of pics!).

I actually spoke with Brian and Lesley... oh god, Thursday night? (Memory sucks) about some very techinical tweaks. I should be paying for it this coming Friday, and they should have it for me the week after. SO TWO WEEKS!!!! I'm so excited. John's been laughing at me... I'm been counting down the days to neck shots. It's going to a really lovely peice, and Brian's been so thoughtful about making sure it's just right, so I know it is going to be.

 

[katebar]

Ooh la la this is one beautiful pendant. Well done Gypsy

 

[zoebartlett]

Hey Gypsy!

I love your inspiration pics, and I can''t wait to see photos when the pendant arrives. The first few pictures you posted look BEAUTIFUL! I love it.

 

[Gypsy]

Thank you Katebar and ZoeZoe, you both have excellent taste so I''m very flattered. I think it''s going to be just lovely,even more so with some of the ''new'' details we''ve added to the project, which I''m keeping to myself until I have the necklace in hand! But it''s going to be just wonderful.

And I''m already thinking about future projects. Like... matching earrings.

 

[EricaR]

Ah-hem...

Any updates?!?!

 

[Gypsy]

We''re in countdown to pendant mode!!!

To tide me over till the end of the week (which is when Brian is hoping to have the pendant done by) they sent me some pictures of the wax of the pendant and of the unfinished (not polished up and not set with diamonds) pendant semi-mount.

I wanted to share. I''m so looking forward to having this pendant in my hot little hands soon!
