I realized that I shared this over in the CS part of the forum, but not here. My H and DK worked together on this on the sly. Based on an antique necklace that I had saved in my inspiration folder. I couldn't love it more! It is unplated WG, and the centre stone is a sphene purchased from Brad at the Gem Trader, and I have since learned from the folks over in CS that it is not your average jeweler who has the skill to take on a sphene because of their softness. So yay, for DK!
Obligatory neck shot...
My H had so much fun on this project, and is so proud of the finished pendant. He found DK really easy to communicate with and accommodating. So third time for us working with DK, and we are definitely big, big fans!

Evangeline -- that is a breathtaking pendant! 
It's so intricate, delicate, and unique. Do you like the WG alloy that he used? I'm considering having him make a ring for me in WG. I had asked him if he can use an alloy that helps the metal stay white and resemble platinum as much as possible, and he said he uses an unplated 14K WG and palladium mix, which keeps the metal white. I'm guessing he used this mix for your pendant? Let me know how you like it!

Thanks Michelez, KristyDarling and Redwood! 
KristyDarling both this pendant and my e-ring are in unplated 14k alloyed with palladium. I think it is wonderful stuff- really bright and impossibly lightweight. I"m not one who has any particular affinity to the heft or patina of platinum, but I disliked the idea of having to get my ring replated, and don't love that "chrome-y" look of plated WG, so this 14k palladium alloy is perfect for me. I really think it looks fantastic!

Cannot wait to see the fancy pics your husband is making (how sweet of him!!). Thanks again for liking my ring and taking it as your inspiration ring. Don't forget to also post in the frenchie thread: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/the-2011-trend-the-french-sides-collection.161358/page-4']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/the-2011-trend-the-french-sides-collection.161358/page-4[/URL]
