Picked up my Christmas present from Mr. Snail this morning! We had DK set my original engagement diamond in a bezel necklace, so I could still wear it every day.

Background:
This was my original engagement ring – link.
Very pretty, but I'd worn it daily for >5 years, so that plus its previous lifetime(s) meant it was wearing thin in the shank. There's also traces of gorgeous milgrain that I was worried might get worn away completely, since I'd like to have DK restore the setting & set a CS in it someday. I got a whole new upgrade ring (that I'll get around to posting one day, I promise!), but I loved my first diamond and wanted to keep wearing it somehow.

Details:
0.35ct OEC, G-color, SI2
14k white gold with yellow gold accent (the G)
18" chain with a sizer at 16"
tulip-esque sides to match my upgrade e-ring

I worked with Amy @ DK, she was an absolute pleasure! This was my first project with DK, and I hope the first of many. We just recently moved to the LA area and so I was able to drop my ring off and pick the necklace up in person. I emailed them on Nov 18, we ended up doing 4 CADs with slight tweaks each time. Greenlit the design on Nov 28, ready yesterday! Went with Mr. Snail to get it first thing this morning :kiss2:

I'm so happy with it. It's the perfect delicate everyday necklace, and it makes me feel so elegant and adult!

G is Mr. Snail's first initial =)2

It's perfect!! Enjoy wearing it!
 
Beautiful!
 
That’s beautiful! The gallery/basket is especially pretty.
 
So pretty! I love making pendants from old diamonds! My daughters just had some made and I need to post them, too!
 
Oh, and here's the old setting, all empty and sad, lol! I'm going to set a CS, maybe a sapphire...

Talk to Amy about getting you a sapphire. She just sourced a sapphire for me to put in an old ring setting. It was very affordable (I didn't pick anything super fancy- just a basic sapphire)
 
Love that you put your dh's initial on the back, so romantic & sentimental!
 
Thanks for the kind words, all!

Thank you! We did that custom, so it would match my upgrade ring (same tulip design on the sides of a 4-prong solitaire).

You should, I’d love to see!

She actually said the same thing – she suggested a sapphire or black diamond, and said she could source one pretty reasonably.
 
This is beautiful & the perfect home for your diamond!
 
It's beautiful and looks perfect on you!
 
It’s perfect. I also made my original E stone into a pendant.
 
That is just gorgeous! I love the G detail! Never seen anything like that!
 
Gorgeous! I love all of the personal touches. Your old setting is beautiful, and would look gorgeous with a rich blue sapphire :kiss2:
 
Wonderfully romantic and a great transformation! Excited to see your ring too!
 
beautiful and delicate! congrats!
 
It’s looks perfect!
 
Gorgeous! :love:
 
Beautiful!
 
Such a perfect necklace! I love how it layers.
