3.11 fancy gray diamond. Setting ideas?!

Hehe once malls reopen and I get the diamond set I definitely plan to try out some different chains in stores! I do miss being able to try things out in person!

I know right?
 
Yeah as much as there are very dark sides to consumerism, I have to admit a day at the mall with my friends, window shopping and snacking on Auntie Ann pretzels and frozen yogurt and dipping in and out of stores to look around is such a guilty pleasure.

Me too. I can’t wait to see it on you. It will be super gorgeous!!!!
 
I like it! Great find.
 
looks fantastic
Love this!

Thanks! Hoping it’ll look even better when set. Whenever that’ll be. I don’t mind waiting though, it’s for good reasons!
 
Gaaaahhh. City under shelter at home until June now. Happy that we’re being prudent. But also impatient to complete this project. Obviously the former takes priority and I fully support it but I just wanted to whine a little. :p
 
It’s gonna look SO COOL!
 
Sigh. Jeweler still not back in town.
But I did just get these lovely Hanadama pearls and gray pearls from Yssie and upgraded from my red thread bracelet to this pearl look! On a temp wire for now while I wait for my elastic thread to arrive.

That's amazing! The colours complement each other so well and you know any pearls from @yssie will be the cream of the crop!

Yes! She not only has amazing taste and impeccable expertise in pearls. She’s also such a kind and lovely human! Thanks @yssie!

Work has been brutal lately and this was totally the pick me up I needed.
 
LOVE!
 
Ohhh how pretty!! :love: I was wondering what you might do with them - they're darling together!! :love:

Those pearls are in seriously prestigious company next to your fancy grey ::) They have no idea...
And Shale is SO patient... Any of mine would have found some way to ingest it - probably between photos three and four :bigsmile:
 
Oh wow I actually love the diamond with the pearls such great contrast. Hard icy grey diamond & soft creamy pearls. Beautiful!
I was hoping shale would model- love how he wears your jewelry!
@yssie you're so funny about your cats & lovely pearls
 
Haha yeah for a cat I found in the forest he’s so so tolerant of me and my shenanigans. Then again considering he doesn’t contribute anything towards rent or food and I clean his litter box, I suppose sitting still for some photos isn’t that onerous a task in exchange for a cushy indoor cat life and he knows it. Haha. Of course I’d love him all the same if he didn’t let me.
 
@MakingTheGrade - wonderful! I have to say, I'd love to see this bracelet knotted with bright red silk thread. The color combo would be delicious!

I may do that if I get my diamond finally set in its MoP home lol. Right now the elastic is just so convenient for taking the bracelet on and off haha.

I did get some red and black leather cord as well just to play around with.

This whole project - all iterations - is so awesome!

I don’t know when the journey will be complete and the piece completed since my jeweler (very appropriately in my opinion) is in no rush to return to the city. But I’m enjoying the journey immensely so that takes the edge off the wait!
 
Love the kitty pics with this fabulous diamond!
 
Argggg. Let the anxiety begin! My jeweler was in town to pick up some other things so we did hand off of the diamond and MoP setting. I’m gonna be a nervous mess until it’s done and back home with me! Might be a bit since I need to wait until when she’s back in town cause usps has been having delays. But im crossing all fingers and toes that all goes smoothly!

In the mean time I continue to enlist my cat in jewelry photography

So unique- I had no idea there were fancy gray diamonds! Yours is to die for. Not to big for a ring haha but I love the slim simple bezel pendant idea on a longer chain!

I didn’t know either until on a lark while looking for gray colored gems I came across some!

Ughhh the jeweler is having some issues with the MoP glue and the gold. I’m dying of anxiety and anticipation over here.
 
Oohhh pretty! Yay! I hope it's done soon! This is so beautiful & unique!
Soon it will be time for shale to model it :lol::kiss2:
