Wink, Paul, Lieve, and Melissa - the "Holy Grail"

[cflutist]

These wonderful people have accomplished something that I will forever be eternally grateful for.

How does one source an incredible 8.94 TW parcel of Fancy Intense Yellow Round Brilliants?

The story and pictues can be found here:

Holy Grail indeed! . What style of bracelet setting? how about the pendant setting?

The bracelet will be the same handcrafted one as my first bracelet from Wink but with 18KY instead of 14KY (I tried to save some money with 14KY but Wink says that is no longer available. 18KY is probably a better combo for the FIY diamonds anyway and should make the diamonds pop).

This looks like a 3-prong bracelet but has the added safety of 4-prongs. If you look closely you will see 4-prongs on each stone.



Like you DF, I popped the wad on the diamonds, so the pendant will be a stock pendant from Stuller but with changes in the head sizes.

Here is a link to the video that I just received from Wink:

It's gonna be beautiful - can't wait to see it finished!

 

[junebug17]

This is going to be fabulous!!! cannot wait to see it!

 

[Gypsy]

WHOA! I'm glad you accidentally posted here. THAT IS GOING TO BE TO DIE FOR! I am positively GREEN with envy!

 

[cflutist]

DF, MGR, Junebug17, and Gypsy, thank you for the kind compliments.
I think I am as excited as all of PS is about DF's Octavia.

My friends are saying that I should post something here in Rocky Talky because I put the original post in Colored Stones (yeah technically the Colored Stones course that I took at the GIA didn't include natural colored diamonds at the time).

 

[Lula]

Wow! That suite is something else! Bravo, Paul, Lieve, Melissa, and Wink!

 

[woofmama]

I cannot wait to see this I am dying for even one isty bisty FY diamond, oh my, what a fabulous piece this will be

 

[VRBeauty]

Absolutely incredible! I can't wait to see the finished bracelet!

 

[AprilBaby]

This is gonna be a stunner!

 

[cflutist]

Thank you Lula, Bravo all of them indeed.

Woofmama, VRBeauty, April Baby:

Thank you for your kind compliments.
We have the astute Tiffany salesman to thank for this. Had he not sold me a Tiffany Fancy Yellow ring while we were on vacation in Carmel, CA, then this wouldn't be talking about this now

 

[cflutist]

I am told one more week of waiting ... taps fingers and remembers ... patience.

Must watch video again.

Thank you. What is amazing is not so much the 9 cts, but the fact that they are Fancy Intense Yellow Round Brilliants.
I learned during this journey that finding a matched parcel of rounds is quite rare. Radiants are more readily available.

I really do think Wink makes quality tennis bracelets that are hand assembled one diamond/link at a time. After I receive it, I will post pictures of Wink's two bracelets next to my pre-PS machine made bracelet and you can see the difference. The machine made bracelet (3-prong) flops and twists around more. Just had a thought, that will be more than 25+ carats of diamonds on those 3 bracelets.

Wow 25 carats on one wrist. I can't wait to see that picture. I can tell your bracelet is definitely high quality. It looks like it lights up the room.

Here is 17 ctw to tide you over (10.5 + 6.5) (.33s and .16s). The FIYs will be .20s.

Re: Wink, Paul, Lieve, and Melissa - the "Holy Grail"

Cflutist those are amazing and beautiful. Now I will have sweet dreams of sparkling diamonds full of fire. Awesome. Thanks for the follow up pictures.

 

[cflutist]

Here is a teaser photo for now. Will do a SMTB post along with a video from Wink after I receive the bracelet.
The three darker diamonds over the clasp I think are an artifact of those diamonds being set on top of the clasp.

As Wink would say, look at that dispersion !!!!!

 

[Catmom]

Oh my goodness, I'm dying here.........must have more pics!!!!!!! It's stunning.

 

[SirGuy]

That's just spectacular.

 

[VRBeauty]

*drool!*

 

[lorrissey]

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I cannot wait to see your photos!!!

 

[Dancing Fire]

WOW!..

 

[derbygal]

I can hardly stand the wait on this work of art. I am in awe!
