My Pendant & Earring makeover by Whiteflash

[appletini]

I decided it was time for a jewelry makeover, and whiteflash made my dream come true. They did a fabulous job (no surprise there) and I just can't stop looking at my ears and neck in the mirror.

Earrings: ~0.5 each. These were my high school graduation present and were originally in 4 prong yellow gold studs. Brian said he thought they were L-M color...too bad I didn't know about PS and WF back in 1998!

Pendant: 0.32 My grandfather gave this to my grandma for her birthday twenty years ago, and I think she gave it to me around the time of my senior year of high school b/c I remember wearing it to the prom (I had a gold dress). It was also originally in yellow gold, and so in order to actually wear it I had it redone in white gold.

Now for the pictures....

Thanks AChiO...I''ll upgrade the earrings someday, but I was hoping this would give a pretend diamond fix for now. Plus I''m still waiting on my BF to get moving on that ring. Brian has a new earring setting called the X-prong that is gorgeous...look for them in the WF gallery.

Oh man,
That''s so what I''m looking for. I had to settle for buying some CZ''s the other day and then when I got them home they had a lavendar hue to them!! Now, I have to go out and find some clear one''s. The bezel setting is just beautiful on the earrings and the pendant is to die for!!

Thanks to everyone for the compliments! I''m going to a wedding this weekend and can''t wait to show them off.

 

[Sundial]

I love jewelry makeovers and these turned out great! The bezel settings really make diamonds look bigger.

 

[MissAva]

So pretty! WF did a fantastic job.

 

[BrightSpot]

Wow--your set looks gorgeous! Your earrings look huge in the bezel setting & so coordinate so nicely w/ the lovely pendant! Great job!

Have fun at the wedding this weekend!

 

[FireGoddess]

SUCH an adorable set! I really like that you''ve recycled what you had and made it more wearable for yourself! The earrings look so awesome and really substantial on your ears...and I love that the pendant and earrings are all bezel set and matchy-matchy in construction.

That''s such a great set, Apple! Lately, I''ve actually been thinking about how much I want a pair of studs just like that! My b-day is in August, so maybe the BF will buy the idea that even though I protested loudly enough during the e-ring search *against* diamond, some would look awful purdy in my ears! They sure look gorgeous in yours!

It''s so cool that you''ll have something to show off at the next h-town meet-up, and that is definitely show-off worthy!

Do you have before pictures? I just love comparing before and afters...

When you do upgrade your earrings, you should totally add them to your necklace a la Tiffany''s Diamonds by the Yard!

 

[hoorray]

Ahhhh.... another GREAT recycling job! Well done -- they both look beautiful, and what a terrific way to keep sentimental stones wearable.
