Two pendants it is! Now which pendant?

[AmeliaG]

Thanks to all of you, pendants it is and I'm really excited about this project! I've been perusing some of Daniel M's goodies and found a lot that is inspiring.

Wondering what you think of these?

Since I need two pendants you can vote for two and change your vote.

Can you put the pendants in some sort of scroll work where one dangles off / under the other stone?

What about one of his bezel pendants, or are those too plain?

I'm not sure I understand, Chrono. Can you explain a bit more?

I love Daniel M's bezel pendants, minou, but I don't want to put the sapphire in a bezel. I'm afraid it will cause the stone to darken and I'll lose the brilliance that I love. It's already a bit less brilliant than the peridot so I don't want to lose any more brilliance.

I cast my vote for other because I'm not crazy about any of these designs. You should choose what you like. If you always choose what we like, you may not be happy with it in the long run. They are both lovely.

Not exactly like this but you get the general idea. Can be done with prongs instead of being bezel set.

Guess what I picked?

I'm not sure what you're going for? Do you want one that's more plain, and one that's more ornate? Or?

I am terrible at decisions and if you allowed 2 options --- I'm going for it!!!
I picked Freke's because they are simple, classic and allow the stone to do all the talking - I like that look and I love her collection, so that was easy!

I also picked the double claw U prong because I have a DanielM ring with that setting and it allows a lot of light and I love their prong work!

Can't wait to see what you finally decide on - good luck!

Your stones will look great in any of those. I probably like the Freke style and the scroll style the best. What if you do one very simple and one with some scrolls, but have something that unifies them like the same bezel, or same prongs, same bale etc., so they still appear as a set but just not a perfect match?

 

[innerkitten]

Oops I hadn't read the other posts before posting. I basically suggested what Freak said.

I voted for 1 and 3, but in reality, if I wanted to get 2 pendants, I would get one plain one (casual), and one with a halo or side diamonds (dress).

Hmmm...I'm a bit "other" too so I'll throw these into the melting pot.

 

[AmeliaG]

Thanks everybody for your feedback. I'm sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you.

I'm like the rest of you and really like the scroll pendant. However, I made a goof. JKT made that pendant, not Daniel_M and she's booked solid this year.

I'm debating whether to wait for her to do it or ask Daniel M if he can do a scrollwork pendant. He can do the Freke pendant.

 

[innerkitten]

If you go with a Freke style pendant I'd go with Daniel M. But for scroll work I'd book with Julia. I have one piece by her and I was really impressed. She's great for hand done swirly stuff. Really unique designs too.

 

[pregcurious]

Wait for Julia. I've worked with her and I would do it again.

I know you both are right but I want to wear them now.
