Please show me your CS pendants and necklaces

[prs]

I joined this board about six months ago when I was considering purchasing a 4ct sapphire pendant for my wife on Ebay. Well, you ladies quickly talked me out of what would have been a big mistake. Eventually, and after many educational trips to the LA Jewelry District, we ended up with a 9ct tanzanite pendant by David Klass.

Such is the addictive influence of PS we now have four CS pendants with another on the way. There doesn't seem to be a CS pendant and necklace thread, so I thought I ought to start one.

Fist off that 9.30ct tanzanite pendant by David Klass. That thread is here:

I know rings are the favorite item of jewelry here on PriceScope, but pendants and necklaces can be beautiful too!! It's only right we have a thread to show them off!

An 8.46ct yellow sapphire and diamond pendant

A 30ct amethyst and turquoise pendant/broach from the 1950s.

And here's our 9.26ct emerald pendant rescued from a consignment store, and re-oiled and reconditioned with a great deal of help from DKJ.



The thread on this pendant is here:

Peter, thanks for sharing the pictures of your wife's beautiful pendants! She's lucky to have a spouse who shares her enthusiasm for fine jewelry I especially love the tanzanite and emerald pieces, they're both stunning.

Great thread! I only have one pendant, unfortunately nothing spectacular. I love your wife's pendants that are all so different but just stunning pieces! What other projects have you got in the pipeline?

This is seriously stunning!

My 30th bday present from family, and by far the nicest piece of jewelry I own. David Michael made it (brothers who I believe are from AUS). it's a work of art, but I have a hard time wearing it, since I feel guilty about how much was spent on it.

That’s just beautiful!!. The colors are poetic, tender and gentle. What an amazing gift! Pls Try to turn guilt into wearing with love, joy and appreciation that they appreciate you!! Otherwise the spirit of it is diffused!

 

[lovedogs]

Aww, thank you @Bluegemz. Ive been working on that! I've worn it less than 5X in the 1.5 years I've had it, which is silly since I love it so much. It's perfect and wonderful, and I need to wear it happily!

It's amazing and your family would want you to wear it often!

@lilmosun I can assure you I do not pick out my wife's jewelry, I learned that lesson many years ago!!! She is a very good picker in her own right, aren't I a prime example!

@meely I'm sure your pendant is gorgeous, please post photos!!!

 

[peacechick]

@prs, seriously beautiful pieces! Your DW has such a lovely neck to show off these pendants.

@lovedogs, you absolutely must wear that pendant more often. It’s so gorgeous and would bring joy to the ones who gave it to you.

This thread had me musing about the significance of pendants from the perspective of the giver. I think rings are most popular here on PS because wedding rings aside, rings are commonly what we buy for ourselves. And we enjoy them every time we look down. But if my DH wants to give me a gift, he naturally leans towards pendants. I think it’s because he can enjoy seeing me wear them whereas I don’t think he notices my rings much unless I point them out.

Your DW has quite the incredible collection of pendants, and she wears each one well! It makes me so happy that you share the stories and pictures of these special finds with the PS community.

Haha, until my colored gemstone obsession started my DF was the same way. I think that's because he likes looking at my face and my chest the most, and pendants hang somewhere between. He will admire my rings with me when I hold my hand up to do so, though (now he knows I like rings the most ).

Still picking my jaw from the floor.

Masterpiece in delicacy and balance!

 

[Rare gem lover]

Here’s mine! It’s a mint garnet in white gold and I barely ever wear it because I realised too late I’m not a pendant person!

 

[Burmesedaze]

A few of mine. Spinel, sapphire and ruby. All Mogok stones no heat no treatment.

 

[meely]

Everyone's pendants are so lovely!
@Rare gem lover I can't believe you don't wear it
@lovedogs That is such a stunning piece of jewelry and so sentimental please wear it and enjoy it!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Grey jadeite .

@lovedogs @Rare gem lover please wear your pendants more. They're beautiful! Especially lovedogs, there is no need to feel guilty, as it's a symbol of your family's love for you.

I'm not a pendant person at the moment, but I never used to be a ring person either until getting my e-ring. Things can change. I think my aversion to pendants is I hate the little clasps on necklaces, may change once I get magnetic clasps for conversion.

Wow @prs, those are some amazing pendants. Lucky wife!!!
