WhiteFlash Diamonds By The Yard Necklace

[jadeleaves]

I just received my DBTY necklace custom made by WhiteFlash, and couldn''t wait till I get a new camera to show you all, because I know how much we love photos

Here are some pics sent to me by Denise from WhiteFlash - the necklace is stunning, very delicate and dainty and everything I wanted. It does seem that the culet is exposed like the Tiffany version, and hence, the culet of the stones will touch my skin when I''m wearing the necklace. However, I don''t see a problem with that as I obsessively clean all my jewelry in my ultrasonic cleaner anyway

. The culet does not feel uncomfortable against my neck - I can hardly notice it.

WhiteFlash has been outstanding throughout this entire process. Many thanks to John who referred me to Denise, who is an absolute darling. I had a million and one questions for her and she was always patient and got back to me promptly. This is my first purchase from WhiteFlash, and I will certainly be a repeat customer. The WhiteFlash workshop stayed close to the placement of the stones I wanted, as per my post in the other thread in Jewelry Pieces, and from what I can see, the worksmanship looks awesome. That said, I have not louped it with my 20x loupe yet

but I''m sure it''ll be fine.

Just kidding!!!

I will take pictures when I can get hold of a camera - I tried using my webcam but it didn''t turn out well.

It''s so wonderful that your husband was so involved with the design process. Thank you also for the pictures! It''s so beautiful!

Okok u got me

I did pick up a pair of expert selection 0.70cttw I Si martini earrings - I couldn''t believe the earrings are I color stones! I put them against my G colored 3 stone ring, and couldn''t see a hint of yellow at all, not even placing them pavilion side down on a piece of white paper!

Dare I say that I *might* go for lower colored stones other than G from now on? I can''t believe what I''ve been missing

 

[jadeleaves]

I also want to thank everybody who had some input into this whole design process over in my original thread - MaryAlaina, for her beautiful WF necklace I found on DT, AGBF for her kind words, ideas and posting a different one for me to look at, val as always, for her marvellous photoshop skills

, matatora for her pics of GOG's pendant (next project??) and everyone else who encouraged me to go for it

Jadeleaves, the necklace looks great!

I really like that the diamonds are different sizes and are not evenly spaced out on the necklace. It makes it look much more interesting! I really like the diamonds by the yard look but I always wondered if the diamonds flip a lot and you end up seeing the culet and not so much sparkle? Do you find this to be the case?

The earrings are beautiful as well. I got I Si1s ACA studs from WF, under 1ctw, and I was impressed with them. Have fun and enjoy your beautiful new pieces! I''m looking forward to seeing more pictures!
