Meet my new (as yet nameless) project. Would anyone suggest a name? I’m stumped. She sort of looks like a bumblebee heading west, but then, she also looks like a gerbera daisy, or a melting ice cream lollie, or a blob. AlexT said Ladybug, and that’s a good one.
Thoughts?
Details: 4.5mm OEC, clear as day, probably an “L” color, with a truly microscopic chip on an upper crown facet, of no consequence at this small size, with five graduated single cut diamonds set like leaves (or wings), in 14k un-plated vintage white gold. I didn’t need her, but the thought of leaving her behind saddened me into bidding. Been looking forward to this for a week, and wearing her now! Yay!
Before, in seller’s photo:

And now, After, as my necklace:
I still have yet to do a final polish to remove tool marks, but this is pretty close to the finished result. Possibly a change of chain to Rose Gold, if I can find one inexpensively.
