MY PENDANT CADS ARE HERE!!!!

[KtIceRN]

OMG

WOW

OMG

WOW


I love it Gyspy! It is looking sooooo great. I am loving the fact that BGD are sending out photos of the casting. I loved seeing the ones for my earrings and my moms ring. It is so neet to get to see the actual piece before it is done. Only thing is it makes you want it NOW...even more so than before.

I think you are very right about making it with colored stones and maybe a few diamonds. My birthstone is sapphires and I am sure that would look amazing with some pretty blue ones. I think this pendant is going to be a BIG TIME hit. I will be very interested to see what the price point will be on it in 14kt one once they start to offer it.

Thank you again for offering to share your design with everyone. It is very kind of you. I think there will be quite a few takers!!!

Dang- i missed this thread until now!

Gypsy, it''s STUNNING. From the CAD''s to the wax, to the casting, i''ve been drooling at each step.

Can''t wait to see the finished piece!

And, too cool that you''re working with Brian and Lesley- they''re true GEMS

 

[FrekeChild]

Um. Wow.

 

[february2003bride]

Gypsy- It''s stunning!! I can''t wait to see the finished product!!

 

[lulu]

Very lovely. I think I''d go with the hidden bale. I wouldn''t want the bale to take away from that magnificent design.

 

[Tacori E-ring]

I just saw this now! SO beautiful L!!!! I love it! You still need to see "Real Housewive''s" so you can see a similar one. It looks great on her and will look perfect on you.

 

[EricaR]

OH MY!!!!!!!!

It is amazing!

Musey, It so fascinating. Brian knows that I''m just incurably curious about all these details so he''s been great keeping me up do date on it all!

That is awesome - how fun to see each step of the process along the way. What a great guy, that Brian!

 

[AmberGretchen]

Amazing Gypsy - and so fun to be involved in the whole process!! I can''t imagine how you are managing to be patient while this beauty gets finished!

 

[snlee]

I can''t believe I missed this! It''s beautiful! Can''t wait to see the finished piece!

 

[luv2sparkle]

WOW!!!!!! I cant believe I missed this thread also! Gypsy, that is going to be one gorgeous pendant! I so can''t wait to see it IRL. We are so blessed to
have such great designers that log into this forum, and Brian and Lesley are simply the best! That is going to be an amazing piece!

 

[Linda W]

OMG Layla, it is going to be soooooooooooooo beautiful. I love the idea that you can also wear it as a pin too.

I can''t wait to see pictures this week.

 

[Gypsy]

Hi Swingirl... I can't wait for the next GTG now. I'll have something new to share!!! The BGS diamonds are the part I'm looking forward to the most! I've seen other's sparklies from the time B&L were at WF and I can't wait to own some of my own ideal H&A rounds!

Hiya KT! It's really gonna be a lovely piece and it's like both of us are on the same wave length because I've got serious designs on your mom's band (if you don't mind) with Sapphires (my birthstone, too. Is it a Virgo thing?). WoooHoooo. As for sharing the design... isn't mine to share (though I appreciate Brian's offer to keep it unique, however unnecessary), this was ALL Brian. I just threw a ton of pics at him with my incoherant ramblings about 'no milgrain or pave, contemporary but classic, symetric but not a circle..." and he brought order to chaos. Was just flat out NEATO!

Hi CG... they really are gems, it's been a wonderful experience. And I can't wait either!

Thank you Freke and Feb2003!

Lulu... that's what we decided! It's just right for the design.

Tacori-- I'm very happy with it! Which Housewife sports the necklace? I'll see if I can keep an eye out!

Thank you Erica (YAY Erica is off to paradise in NO TIME!)

Hiya Musey, it's really been cool and a great preoccupation to keep my mind off of other things.

Amber... not so patient, inside I'm squirming. But the wait is totally going to be worth it!

Hi snlee, thank you!!

Hi L2S we are very blessed with the amount of talent and experience. It's so funny because there are so many vendors I'd love to work with for so many different projects. Every one brings something a different and unique to the table.

Hi Linda! Thank you honey! You and me both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[whitby_2773]

congratulations, gypsy!

what a beautiful piece to add to your collection.

a real one of a kind and very beautiful!

 

[Gypsy]

Thank you Whitby!

 

[Po10472]

tick....tock........is your clock going slower than normal. You must be making buttons waiting for it to be finished and shipped out to you.

Its going to look stunning, you must be so proud of it already!

 

[kcoursolle]

It is going to be incredible!! Thanks for sharing those unfinished casting pics, they are fun to look at!

 

[Gypsy]

Po-- TOTALLY making buttons!

Kc-- so happy you enjoyed them!!

Okay so here are the melee pictures (sorry all, I was in meetings all morning and this is the first time I've had time to get these uploaded).

If I wasn't so attached to my new little dragon AV I would totally ask B&L if I could use one of these as my AVs. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lookit those ARROWS (

Happy Dance I finally get some arrows of my own!!!)

Diamonds are F/G VS BGS and the total in the pendant is going to be .6 and change!

 

[Gypsy]

And another. Seriously considering changing my AV, but I just got used to looking for the little dragon and I don't want to have to get used to ANOTHER Av quite so soon (though, let's be honest, the finished pendant is likely to be my AV once I get the pics of it!). At my last hasty count there are 31 diamonds total in the pendant.

 

[rainydaze]

numma numma numma!

yeah, even without the diamonds that is one compelling design.... and then you floor us with that melee shot. hot damn girl, i''m green!

Hi LD... how lovely! Do you mind if I ask what the size of each of those is (in mm) and the ctw? The purple stones would look amazing in the Marguerite pendant Brian designed. The orange wax had me wondering if what it would look like with some spess. garnets in there

. I think it''s a design that would lend itself really well to some color! Your flower pendant is lovely and SO blingy! Wow. I love the hidden bail, it really looks like it''s floating on a chain!

Hi China Cat and Gabby! Thank you both! I can''t wait either!

Hi Gypsy - do you mean the purple or the white diamonds? If you mean the purple, if I recall there are 3 different sizes i the pendant but I''d have to measure to get the correct mm. I agree the pendant would look stunning with coloured stones. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Hiya LD! I meant the finished peices to get an idea of scale. Not the individual diamonds (I'd be amazed if you knew that!).

Thank you very much Maisie and Rainy!

 

[AmberGretchen]

OMG that picture is scrumptious - those look like such lovely diamonds

 

[GoodSoul]

I LOVE IT ALL! The pendant is going to be GORGEOUS!! Those melees are totally TDF!!!

Can''t wait for it to be done!!! When are you expecting it to receive it? Just want to make sure that I put a reminder to check back again!!

 

[Gypsy]

Hi Amber, high praise for the lady that made me fall in love with hearts and arrows diamonds! Thank you honey!

GoodSoul, I would check SMRT on Monday-Tuesday, even if I don''t have pics of my own Brian seems to be targetting end of this week/beginning of next for the completion of the pendant so I will have BGD''s photos to share. And I might ask Lesley if she would be so good as to model it for some neckshots before putting in the mail.

Thank you!

 

[geckodani]

I love the melee pics! How fun is THAT!?!

 

[elle_chris]

I love the melee shots as well.

That''s seriously going to be a killer pendant.

Gypsy- How big is it going to be again? (can''t remember)

 

[PaulaW]

Haha, I bet Leslie will willingly be a model for you! I love the diamond shots... he sure knows how to help along a girl''s anticipation, doesn''t he?! I mean LOOK at those arrows!!
I am so excited for you!! Wheeeeee!!

 

[Jelly]

OMG that pendant is stunning!! I love the BSD melee photo, those little fireballs are gorgeous! I can''t wait to see the pendant, it''s so beautiful and unique!
