Waiting on tourmaline pendant

[Mondayschild]

Changed my mind a number of times (!!) but finally decided on tourmaline pendant.

Waiting on this to arrive (setting by Daniel M. Jewelry on etsy) - the hardest part is that I've not seen the stone in person yet either.



My next step is deciding on what type/design of chain (white gold) to match. Any ideas?

Oooo well isn't that lovely! The crown-type mounting is fit for royalty.

Personally, I love the sleekness and shine of a quality box chain. I also love the glint of a popcorn chain, but they pick up lint like crazy! Anyway, congrats on your new pendant!!

still waiting.......usps international......

I wish Dan wouldn't insist on using USPS, they're hopeless. It took months for my earrings to arrive. I was waiting on a ring from David Klass at the same time. He used Fedex and it took less than a week!

@Dandi I don't want to hijack Monday's thread, but I've always been curious about the ring in your profile pic. Is it a sapphire or spinel? Stunning. Please tell me more... hopefully OP doesn't mind.

@Mondayschild I hope you receive your new pretty soon!!

Thank you lovely! It's a lab sapphire with lab diamonds in 14k rose and white gold, set by the brilliant DK.

Love that you did RG, but with white for the halo! It's very rich looking. So is the sapphire color a violet in person or more blue? It's dreamy.

It's super blue!

 

[Dandi]

@Autumn in New England these pics are very close to the colour I see, very rich blue!

 

[Dandi]

@Mondayschild any updates?? I'm so frustrated for you!

 

[RMOO]

Wow, that tourmaline is gorgeous! I also am a fan of a good box chain, one that is not too thin. What size is your stone?

 

[Autumn in New England]

@Dandi Oh yes, that fella is certainly a true blue! The cutting is also first-rate, unsurprisingly. Thanks for indulging my curiosity!!

Ok, sorry to momentarily derail the thread, OP... I get easily distracted by shiny things. Hoping you receive your beautiful pendant soon!

 

[Mondayschild]

No probs @Autumn in New England !

Me too. I've mentioned FedEx. Would gladly pay extra to know it wouldn't take weeks. Trying hard to be patient.

Missed this! Thank you. It is 3.8 carats.

 

[Mondayschild]

I'm STILL waiting. I'm at the point where I feel like I will never see this pendant

Ordered it in heaps of time for bday and may not get it prior. I didn't want to make decision/order re chain from Saraf until I saw it in person. Sigh

 

[Mondayschild]

It's here !!!! Will take better pics later

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

It's here !!!! Will take better pics later

phew and thank goodness
sure looks like it was worth waiting for
such a pretty colour

 

[RMOO]

It's here !!!! Will take better pics later

Beautiful color! Gotta have a neck shot!

It's here !!!! Will take better pics later

Just love this shade of tourmaline! So calming and peaceful.

 

[Mondayschild]

Thank you !!

Need to pick the chain now I've seen it in person

More pics of sides. Annoyingly seem very blurry.

 

[Autumn in New England]

Oh yay! It was worth the wait... I just love the sort of steely blue-green color, and the mounting compliments it perfectly. Congrats again and happy birthday!!

 

[Mondayschild]

thanks @Autumn in New England - what are your thoughts on chain style? Thinking maybe wheat?

I don't think you can go wrong with a classic wheat... I also love box chains. Two totally different looks, but I feel like either would go with your beautimous pendant.

 

[Eli22]

Pretty! I am waiting on a Daniel M project as well!

 

[Mondayschild]

Went with Figaro....... Ordered from Sarraf. Can't wait to wear it.

 

[RMOO]

Please post a neck shot when you get it. I would love to see the complete look!

 

[Mondayschild]

Excuse rather ratty tshirt - the pendant wasn't the only thing I got for my birthday (covid, ugh)

I love the size & the colour.

 

[Mondayschild]

Oops. Not sure why they posted twice.

 

[RMOO]

This turned out lovely! What mm width chain did you go with? It balances nicely with the size of the pendant. Well done!

 

[MidModMin]

I like the chain/pendant combo a lot. Looks lovely!
