I went through my local jeweler recently to have two pieces made. The first is a gift to myself for completing a grueling one year advanced certification for my career, and the second is the earrings I'll be wearing for my wedding next month.

The ring is patterned after a classic vintage style, but I wanted it with more defined edges and a curvier profile than most have as well as a rose gold underside/shank (platinum top). I also wanted to upgrade the diamonds typically used so there would be tons of sparkle :kiss2:. The earrings were made from two AAA 10mm Tahitian pearls I had removed from the necklace I'll be wearing at the wedding and two .12ct diamonds I had removed from my tennis bracelet to make it the right length. I love when projects come together so easily :mrgreen2:

Without further ado, here they are!

I SO love how these came out. I asked them to do a double bezel, milgrain the outer edge, and give me two extenders so that the pearl would drop slightly below my ear for better movement. They're perfect in my opinion :dance:

Lastly, here's a real shot of my dogs. Mother (R) and son (L), 3 years old and almost 8 months old.IMG_8461.jpg

Those pearl earrings are gorgeous!
 
SO beautiful! Both the jewelry and your pups. :))

And your hair is awesome. :appl:
 
Both are lovely- I love that ring though! Such a statement piece but looks very wearable!
 
Both pieces are incredibly gorgeous! Your taste is sublime, I especially love the double bezels on the earrings. And your pups are beautiful!!
 
Aww, your adorable pups definitely stole the show, but I sure wouldn't turn my nose up at those gorgeous pieces either! I love both the ring and the earrings. Are you planning to wear the earrings for the wedding along with the necklace?
 
Love the pearls, love the ring, LOVE the dogs!!!!!!
 
Lovely ring and earrings, thanks for sharing.

DK :love:
 
Your new jewelry and dogs are gorgeous! Those earrings are going to look great on your wedding day. Congratulations!
 
Love the ring and the earrings! I would never have thought to do a double bezel but it makes the earrings so interesting. I would love to see the necklace you are going to wear to your wedding next to the earrings. It is going to be a beautiful set. I am also curious what kind of dress you are going to wear. Most people choose white pearls, I love that you are going with tahitians.
 
Beautiful new jewelry - love the ring and the earrings!

Your pups are too precious - those eyes are just for melting hearts!
 
I love the ring, it is so fun and wearable at the same time. The earrings are truly perfect. Both are gorgeous, thanks for sharing!

Almost forgot the pups, they are adorable!
 
Everything is beautiful, you, ring, earrings and dogs! love to hear about your dress if you care to share!
 
Love your earrings, ring, and mother and son canine combo. So sweet...
 
I love your ring, the curves with the mixed metals are beautiful. I also love how open the gallery is for easy access to clean. How creative you were to use the extra pieces to create your earrings! Love it! Will mom and son be in your wedding? What a pair of sweethearts!!!!
 
A SMTB thread with fur babies is 2x the fun, what a cute pair! Love your earrings--they are to die for, and your new ring is gorgeous also, congrats on your new pieces & upcoming wedding!
