Brian Gavin right AGAIN!!! My pendant ;)

[woobug02]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Most of you know I had a recut done by Brian last week and he turn my stone into a FIRING BEAUTY!!!! Well I also sent him my orginal stone from 1984 (.75 m I2). My hubby bought it for me all those years ago and I wore it everyday for 20 years.....Then I found pricescope

and life was never has been the same

I had put the diamond "far far away" and if I got it out to wear, I looked at it with a negative look. Everytime I would try to wear it I hated it

Soo my little BEAST went to Brian and after review he said it wasn't a good recut candidate. He was afraid it may break! I was kind of embarrassed for the famous Brian to see my terribly flawed diamond. I apologized for bothering him with and he stopped me and said he loved every single diamond for itself. He said that every diamond is special and that each diamond is like a little person and you don't get rid of people. hehehehehehehehehe!! He told me that I needed to love the diamond for what it was and stood for (sentimental) and let go of everything else

He then explained that the way I was setting the stone, all alone in a plain head, was really emphazing the quality and that I needed to set it in something BLINGY so that became part of a beautiful piece of jewlery and not just a stone in a head!!! I was leary but went with his suggestion....WELLLLLL!!!!! HE WAS RIGHT!!!!!!! It turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I AM SHOCKED !!!!!

Here we go!!!!

Thank you for sharing this. I''ve been thinking about doing something similar with my ering stone. How does the melee compare to the center stone? Did you get ACA melee or did Brian suggest lower color stones etc? My concern is that the little stones will make the center stone look bad.

From your photos they look great together! Enjoy wearing it.

 

[upgrade]

Wow! What a GORGEOUS pendant! And it''s so wonderful that you can love your stone again!

 

[luvthemstrawberries]

Aw such a great story! That''s so sweet of them to treat each one so specially!!! Most importantly, it''s so great that you can look at it with loving eyes now!

So pretty!!!!

 

[that_someone_special]

I can't answer specifically, but just wanted to point out that BG signature melee

comes in two different color grades- F-G and H-I, so you can choose the lower color if you worry about contrast.

What a neat story and how nice that you have fallen in love with your little stone all over again! It looks AMAZING! Really pretty more pics please!
Brian and Lesley ROCK!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Woooooooooooo is looks amazing! Is that the same style of pendant that was on his blog a while back? It is another goreous Adwar casting if it is!!

 

[dani13]

WOW, that is AMAZING!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GoodSoul]

He totally jazzed your little "beast" up! I LOVE how he bezel it and the back is just SO SO PRETTY! I don''t mind my pendant flipping at all if it has a beautiful back like this!!

It''s great that you turned a piece of jewelry that you hated to probably one of your favorite pieces!!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

It''s beautiful!

 

[woobug02]

Hi Stonehutter!!! Thanks for nice comments. I went with the ACA stones in H/I there is a difference but not bad. It actually makes my stone look neat!!! Kinda of antique. My stone blends perfectly...I think you will be thrilled

 

[Linda W]

How about a neck shot???????
