I have a peridot and Malaya garnet from Barry Bridgestock, both round and both 8.1 mm in diameter that I have been thinking about setting into a moi et toi style pendant since the birth of my son in January (my birthstone is peridot).
I did reach out to David Klass about it, but have yet to share ideas as I’m not exactly sure what I want.
I’m thinking something simple, like an eternity or “S” style slider pendant in 14kt yellow gold.
Also, are these two stones way too big? I feel IMG_1448.jpegLike with the size of the stones it will be a flashy pendant. What do you guys think of this combo? I’ll try to attach some stone pictures. Any ideas welcome.
If I didn’t do a pendant I have a couple other loose garnets and would likely do a single stone ring.

Your stones are beautiful and I love the idea of having a pendant with both birthstones.

I do not think the two stones together are too large or flashy. I would feel comfortable wearing them together in the same piece of jewelry, particularly in something I would be wearing on my neck.
 
That’s a really nice idea and a meaningful piece:) I am also within the process of making a pendant to commemorate the birth of our daughter, so your thread really caught my eyes.

Do you have any ideas what style you're going for? I feel like I can't find any moi et toi style pendants that have two stones of the same size. They are all two stones of different sizes or shapes.
 
I love your idea. I like the top one and the bottom right.
 
I found these with stones of the same size.

Thank you! I'm really liking the bottom "S" curve. I told David I was thinking of an S curve slider style pendant, but with a little something on the gold.. Maybe a thin line of melee or some kind of texture/ engraving.

I like that one too!
 
I got back some CADs from David, but to be honest, I’m not 100 percent sure what would look best. The first he sent me has closed sides and the second has open sides because I was concerned the stones might not get enough light. I like the look of the closed sides better, I think. But I wonder if it will make the garnet go dark? I also wasn’t sure if I wanted just plain gold and had asked for some engraving or milgrain. Appreciate any input you guys have! IMG_1489.png
