I am on holiday, it is a dreary wet day and this is my first post - what better way to spend time!
Thought I would share my new from old diamond pendants. My mum had such beautiful graceful fingers, her wedding and engagement rings would only fit the tip of my pinkie finger. They lay in my jewel box for a decade until a few weeks ago when I took them to a local designer and asked her to make them into pendants for me. I used a small diamond (about .20ct) from one of her other rings that didn't fit either and went for a 'molten' contemporary look with the diamond set to one side for the one pendant. I have various chains I can loop it onto. It is 22ct. The other pendant is her daisy 18ct/plat engagement ring, just the band has been taken off, it sits really nicely and doesn't flip. I am so happy that I can wear such lovely reminders of her every day.
I have been lurking for simply ages but have not really got too much to share, the rest of my diamond jewellery cannot compete with all the beauties I see on the site! I can 'window shop' here quite happily which is a good thing as there is one store near me that has the most beautiful antique jewellery, without PS I would be sooo tempted to spend there. If and when I do, I have learnt so much, so thanks Pser's I will not be fazed and will know the right questions to ask to get something beautiful.
Here are my two new from old pendants. Hope this works, am well know for my lack of techno skill.
