my beautiful treasure

[belle]

first of all i would like to say a huge *THANK YOU* to irina for all of her hard work in designing my perfect pendant. her keen eye for detail and awesome design talent were paramount in bringing this beauty to life. i really didn't know what i wanted in a setting and she managed to put together the perfect combination of simplicity, flair and function ...and most importantly.....no flipping!!
(thank you, thank you, thank you!)

of course, kudos to wf for making the design happen (and for putting up with me through the whole process!). this was the first custom project i have been involved with and i was like dr. jeckyll and mr. hyde... fine one minute and *crazy* the next!

so thank you lesley and john (and probably many more that i affected inadvertantly!) for always answering my questions and requests and never making me feel like i was being the pain that i know i was.

you guys did a great job turning out the original design just as it was envisioned and i couldn't be happier.

finally....my new i/si1 aca

Wow! That is STUNNING! Do you have it yet? Oh I can't wait to see it on you, and I hope it really doesn't flip! Will WF be offering it as a pendant setting for the rest of us?????? Cuz I think I need one of those!

 

[swingirl]

What a beautiful stone and the setting is gorgeous. I love the scallopy design, it looks like a rose. So pretty!!!

 

[elsie]

Oh my gosh, belle -- tres belle!!!

 

[bling*diva*]

BELLE!!!! Fantastico!! So unique and fanciful yet sleek and clean and modern but romantic yet POW and lets not forget FLUID. A knock-out!! CONGRATS!!!!!

 

[Scott Terence]

WOW, that certainly is a killer design, very unique and tasteful. I think my favorite part is how you have so much access to the pavillion even in the set state.... who says you can''t still see the Hearts once daimonds are set... it just needs a clever design! Wear it in good health

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Oh, wow!!! That is gorgeous!

Great job Belle and Irina and WF!

 

[kcoursolle]

What a beautifully designed pendant!!! I love the swirls, so unique and gorgeous. The specs on the stone are awesome as well. I hope you come back and post some more pics.

Thank you Belle for letting me do the drawing for you.

And thanks to all you guys for comments, this design was meant to be as Belle - pretty not only outside but "side view" too.

She is known for her help to community, but i know more about her big heart. Just one story: a neighbour's goat abused by his owner broke her fence (smart goat, how do they know where to go?) and is adopted by her now.
From one animal lover to another - Thank you Belle!

congrats belle on a BEEEEAAUTIFUL piece!!! it is surely charming...i'm sure it looks lovely on your neck, miss!

awesome design irina!!

 

[Linda W]

Belle,

What a wonderful heart you have for adopting that poor goat. I also love animals, as does my DH. I would have a whole houseful of animals if I could. You are a special person. It warmed my heart reading this story.

Linda
