My little Hearts on Fire

[JoangA]

Hubby purchased this little HoF.381 G VS2 yesterday. It was a private sale, great deal. I''ve always wanted a HoF, but not willing to pay for it.

We''re taking the stone out and putting it in my bracelet, he adds a .25 every July for our wedding anniversary. This year it came early! I don''t think the size is so off that it will be very obvious. When complete I''ll have 9 .25-.381, then for the 10th I fill in the spaces with melee, hopefully from Whiteflash. Fun Fun..

This site is really addictive! I''m always checking in to see who got what. I''ve gotten so many wonderful ideas, more than I can afford. But hey I''m patient.

Thanks to all the active members, you are great! I''ll be back for assistance with my next project.

what style is the bracelet?
That will be quite a sentimental piece when you''re finished.
lovely HOF!

WoW! I love the idea of getting a diamond for every anniversary. Do you have any pictures of your bracelet that we can see? BTW, The HoF ring itself is beautiful.

 

[JoangA]

Thanks, Yes I have a picture, not the best. It gives an idea of what I started with. I had this custom made at Willow Glenn Jewelers a few years ago. There''s been a few modifications since we started but it''s on the way.

All the diamonds are E VS2 ideal cuts, the HoF will be the exception. I''m planning on a more interesting clasp & filling in between the .25s with melee, in time. Then again, I might keep the little dog bones plain, they remind me of my pups.

This is special, Hubby loves it as it''s easy for him! He''s not a shopper.

What a cool idea! I love the concept of "add a stone" jewelry.

 

[Mokey]

That is really a great idea! I think it is really nice the way it is, but extra sparkles wouldn''t be a bad thing either

Do you know where you will put the new stone? I only ask since it is a little bigger than the rest. Congrats! Mokey

That''s so sweet and may I add very beautiful.

 

[JoangA]

I''m not sure where to put the new one yet. I was thinking next to the clasp, then it''s tucked away. If it''s going to be to obvious, I''ll set it in something else. When I compare it to the other stones, it doesn''t look larger. Maybe because the others have the bezel around them. I''ll talk to the jeweler. Hubby doesn''t mind if I put it in something else.

I''m still playing with it. How many times can you loupe a diamond?

Wow, what a great idea. The ring is nice also. If not able to put in bracelet a nice pendant would be cool! Just a suggestion

That is a beautiful HOF stone you have there and I love your bracelet!!! I like the idea of making a pendant out of the new diamond if you decide you don't like the way it looks on your bracelet.

 

[Terri-Jo]

Why not keep it as it is and wear it as a pinky ring? It is very pretty.

 

[Kaleigh]

I love that idea!!! It''s very pretty!!!

 

[Jelly]

Beautiful stone! Congrats. I can''t wait to see the bracelet when you add the melee!

 

[MissAva]

Oh what a sweetie! I just love the whole bracelet idea, and your new stone looks yummy!
