Lily Pendant Project Complete

[mrssalvo]

IT''S HERE

. I absolutely LOVE it. It''s perfect and there are tiny details in the leaves as well as the little melee with is so darling. The tanzanite is purple and not near as blue as the pearlmans pic looks. I cannot say enough how happy I am with how it turned out. here are a few pics and I''ll get more later today..

WOW WOW WOW!!!!

I always knew it was going to end up being unique and stunning, but I''m still surprised by how outright GORGEOUS it turned out!!! Fantastic job!!!!

Annnnnd....neck shots please?

 

[mrssalvo]

here''s a blurry neck shot but you can get the idea of the size and chain lenth. I went with 18 inches.

GORGEOUS!!!! I love everything about it!!!

Its beauty matches that of the sentiment with which it was made. Love the pics on both your babies. I am totally jealous of those HK pjs.

 

[jcrow]

it''s beautiful!! i love all the detailing! and that tanzanite-wow

 

[mrssalvo]

ok, so do you gals like the 18 inch chain or should i swap it for 16 or 17 inches?? necklaces bother my neck/chest so i won''t be wearing it with v-necks. thoughts?

 

[FireGoddess]

Normally, I would say 18 inches all the way. But 18 inches on my neck seems to fall differently than 18 inches on your neck. The 18 looks long on you...I might swap for 16 or 17, depending on where they lay. With a pendant that substantial I wouldn't want to get something too short...the scale would be wrong.

ETA: Looking again, I'd probably go 17. Mayyyyyyyyyyyyyyybe 16 if it wasn't too short.

 

[Kaleigh]

I think a shorter chain is needed here. You are tiny and it hangs a little too low on you.

Mrs. S.

Do you wear turtlenecks in the winter? It would look great with a turtleneck sweater in winter. I was going to write a 16 inch with a V neck, but you answered the question. LOL. I LOVE your pendant though.

[mrssalvo]

thanks gals. i was thinking it''s a touch too long too. i just emailed bill about changing it out and to see if he thinks i should do 16 or 17. I used another necklace i have as reference but the charm is tiny so maybe that''s the difference.

Oh my goodness!! I can''t for the life of me figure out how I missed this thread yesterday! I guess I was in diamond shock or something!!! I saw your new avatar but I totally missed this thread! The pictures are just beautiful! This pendant would go SO well with my tanzanite ring! Mmmm!

 

[Mara]

love the flower shots esp hydrangea...i love the pendant too!

i say a smaller chain because that 18 looks long on you, you are pretty small right? i think for me 18 works because i'm taller and it falls higher on me than smaller gals. so for you i'd say more like 16 would be fine. esp if you don't wear v-necks that often.

i also personally like a super thin cable chain esp on a small pendant, but that is just a personal preference thing. i prefer it to look like it's floating rather than having a visible chain. but i'm a weirdo like that. hehe.

 

[mrssalvo]

Just heard from Bill. I''m going to keep the 18 inch for sweaters etc. and he''s going to get me a 16 inch for the rest of the time. that way I have options

That flower looks full-bloomed and ready to be picked and worn

Hehe, I was just about to suggest getting a shorter and thinner chain for the summer/spring wear,
but keep the existing one for fall/winter wear; but you already did that.

Nice pictures.

Hi MrsSalvo ~

Your new masterpiece / creation is so BEAUTIFUL!

The saturation of the tanzinite is gorgeous, and the white gold ... it looks so liquid!

This diamonds give it just the right touch!

To me, and I may be a lil'' crazy, but it is a very romantic piece. Just swooning over here!

My darling 14 year old daughter thinks she should get one for her 15th birthday this December ... She loves the tanzinite!!

Thanks for sharing your

''s w/ us ... they are all lovely!

Enjoy, and have a great weekend!
