I had posted earlier that Paul Slegers and Lieve Peeters (of Crafted by Infinity Diamonds) had sourced an 8.94 ctw parcel of 45 Fancy Intense Yellow round brilliant diamonds. The story of that and a video of the parcel are posted here:

36 diamonds (7.15 ctw) were used to make a beautiful 18K YG bracelet. Pictures and video of that bracelet are here:

I wasn’t going to waste the remaining 9 diamonds so they were set into a 14K WG pendant with 14K YG heads. It is a stock piece from Stuller that was modified by Wink’s wonderful bench to hold all 9 diamonds. The original design held 5 diamonds with only one stone at the bottom of each of the right “legs”. It was modified it to hold 2 and 3 stones each so it would look like a “spray of yellow diamonds”.

I am extremely happy with the results. This entire project of the FIY parcel, the bracelet, and now the pendant has been very exciting and enjoyable for me. I am eternally grateful to Wink, Paul, Lieve, and Melissa, and thank them all from the bottom of my heart.

Here is the video from Wink:

That is gorgeous, as pretty as the bracelet in its own way. Beautiful job by Wink -- the back is as nice as the front. I'd LOVE to see a neck shot of you wearing it to get an idea of size.

Okay, what about earrings? I can see FIY earrings with the pendant -- next project!! Congratulations on a stupendous suite!

Thanks JF, no earrings since I don't have pierced ears.

I'll try to get neck shot but hubby is out of town and it didn't work with his DSLR camera (too much camera, lens, lens cap, strap in the picture).

Maybe I'll try my phone.

Kind of blurry, but the best I could do with a bathroom mirror for now. Will get a better one next week outdoors when hubby returns.

Really loving your yellow bling. Looks great on you! :appl: :clap:
 
Re: 1.79 ctw Fancy Intense Yellow Diamond Pendant from WINK

I love the settings how they sort of square the stones and make them look great with the flatness of the pendant.
Looks sort of squarish like a cushion cut although I know they are round. Color of the diamonds are beautiful.

LOL, I must be phone "challenged". A friend just pointed out to me that there is a forward facing camera on my phone too.
Well duh? Is that where the "selfie" originated?
 
Re: 1.79 ctw Fancy Intense Yellow Diamond Pendant from WINK

WOW!

Well done on the necklace..... WOW!!!
 
Re: 1.79 ctw Fancy Intense Yellow Diamond Pendant from WINK

Another winner!
 
Re: 1.79 ctw Fancy Intense Yellow Diamond Pendant from WINK

GORGEOUS!
 
Re: 1.79 ctw Fancy Intense Yellow Diamond Pendant from WINK

I just have yet another interchangeable jewellery idea, with different colour gemstones and pearls that can be screwed onto a white gold frame, to be worn as a pendant or a brooch.

Thanks for giving me the inspiration!

DK :))

Dear hubby could finally take some pictures of the pendant on me.

First one taken in the shade where you can see the true bodycolor of the FIY diamonds:



This one taken out in the sunlight:

Re: 1.79 ctw Fancy Intense Yellow Diamond Pendant from WINK

Another amazing piece for you :appl:
It's so stunning and looks so versatile: a piece you can wear in the office, at a fancy dinner party and to the groceries. Amazing!!!

Acinom - I plan to wear it everyday (as I have worn my other tennis bracelet from Wink for the last 10 years). I am retired now so the only "office" would be at the local police station where I volunteer in the crime analysis unit (many cases where women who leave their jewelry in a jewelry box on their dresser became victims of residential burglaries)

Thank you all for the very kind compliments. I am wearing both the FIY bracelet and the pendant everyday now. Am enjoying the bracelet tremendously but can't see the pendant unless I'm in front of a mirror ... but dear hubby says "I can see it".
