Showing size on my hand.

 

[FancyDiamond]

I do not feel comfortable posing. This is the best I can do to show the size. The necklace is very, very dainty.

It''s gorgeous! I can''t wait to see neck shots. What size are the bezeled melee?

The melees are 7 pts. The spacing, measured from center to center of melees, is 1 1/8". I am debating if I should make them closer, so I can see more of the melees in the front. What do you think?

I am also wondering about the length. It is made a bit shorter than I want. Wonder if I should get extension chain or have the necklace lengthened?

This custom project gave lots of grey hair. It is difficult to forsee all the potential problems. Luckily, Whiteflash has been great in working with me. Leon in particular has been bending his back a lot just to answer all my questions and extra last-minute requests/quotes. Joseph is amazing in his willingness and creativity to patiently explain the design in a crystal clear manner. (You should have seen the CAD plot that he showed me in one of his explanation. It was quite amazingly impressive.) Poor Vera has to deal with me and my emotional rollercoaster during the project. Her cool professionalism has kept me mentally sane.

About the two worries that I had. 1. proportion an size - It turns out great, as can be seen in these photos. I am glad that I went with 2-pt melees in the halo instead of 1-pt. The halo is indeed a great idea, because the pear diamond would have been way too small. One surprise though is how dainty and fragile the necklace looks and feels. I expected something a bit more substantial. However, when I look at the necklace as a whole, I can see why the necklace chain is so dainty and thin. It has to be so to be consistent with the melees that appear to "flow in air''.

2. I color of pear diamond too yellow? - The sparkling melees are so distracting that I do not notice the yellow tint at first. When I remember to check for the color, then I start to notice. The tint is slight, but is not as readily noticeable, mainly because of the sparkling melees. Therefore, the I color is acceptable to me in this case of a halo pendant, but I now know that I color is not acceptable to me for a ring. I am glad that I stuck with G/H or better colors for all the stones in my rings.

I thought it's $100 discount for an order over $1000 for a return customer. I got $100 discount for my bracelet order, but it's over $2000. So I cannot tell it has been changed or not. I know it used to be $100 off for an over $1000 order.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that because I too got $100 for spending $1000+ the second time around (not $50 so it was different) They sent me a VISA gift card.

Beautiful pendant!

Fancy, I don''t usually spend a lot of time in SMTR, but I do get photos of outgoing pieces in my email, and when I saw this I GASPED!

It''s an exquisite piece; you have fantastic vision.

Thanks for all your kind words; we really enjoyed working with you on this and hope you wear it often and happily.

FD, when we were talking about waiting for our custom projects to be finished, I didn''t realize yours was the pear drop being made by WF! I think it came out absolutely g

rge

us! If you''d like them to send you an extender, just ask them to make you a small segment with a jump ring on one end and a lobster claw on the other. It''s easy for them to do, and that way you''ll be able to wear it with any neck line. It''s just beautiful!

 

[tyty333]

It is stunning...just stunning (even if we dont get to see it on your lovely neck)! I wear a pear pendant (much smaller) but would love
to do that kind of upgrade! Maybe some day!

 

[Circe]

Beautiful! I love the proportions, and I would never guess it was an I. It looks very white to me! Are you loving it, Fancy?

 

[Dreamer_D]

I just love it. Although dainty, it has wonderful "neck" presence in the two photos you posted with clothing

 

[joflier]

I love love love the looks of this necklace!!!! I think it looks just right!

Ditto. I''ll take one of each!

I like the spacing between the melee and would not move them closer together.

WF made me an extender piece for my RB pendant. It is 2" long with a clasp at one end, a ring at the other end, and another ring in the middle, so I can add either 1" or 2" to my necklace depending on the neckline of my outfit.
