Some time ago DW acquired a hot pink pear:
We already had pieces with conventional diamond halos and this time DW said she wanted something different and unusual, but worthy of the stone. Different and unusual is definitely beyond my scope, so I started a thread asking for suggestions. The wonderful PSers on the Colored Gemstones forum responded with all sorts of fantastic ideas, and DW was having trouble deciding what to choose until @icy_jade suggested:
When she saw this DW just said Wow Wow Wow, that's it!!! Then @suzann2 posted "Can you imagine this as a ring AND a pendant??? It would be glorious." Twice as much bling for the one stone; how could that not be a good idea??? We previously worked with Amy Phillips at DKJ and had great success, so we went to visit with stone and inspiration in hand. Yes DKJ had made ring/pendant convertibles before, and yes Amy would be delighted to work on our project. Our ringdant was off and running!
In the process of the design we found the intertwining halos, and the shape of our stone presented some unique aesthetic and engineering challenges. However Amy and her extraordinarily talented team of CAD designers and jewelers sailed thru every challenge with flying colors! Without further ado, here's a video of the finished ringdant:
