Very strange, I can see the two photos of the necklace, and later the photo of DK"s darling new SS pearl....................

For those who can see pics ...

... here you go, my design for the little chick pendant

If money is no object, all the white bits will be pave diamond, plus a pave diamond enhancer bail

I'll settle for polished white gold, except for the wing that needs to be pave diamond to give the little chap a bit of sparkle

Eye is a bezel-set ruby

It looks really cute to me, and I am bias

SWEET! I'm not a diamond person, but if you gotta, pave is the way to go!
What fun to design your own! Seems very doable too..

How cute! Paspaley had a lovely hummingbird pin with white gold and diamonds that had a body just like yours.

Here is mine, from Care Ehret. You can see the Tucson thread here:

This was taken at night, it's much whiter than it looks...


The photo says "pending approval", so maybe they changed their settings on P-G.

Sorry, still can't see pictures (at home or work)...

I wonder why the pictures are not visible to so many of us?

Thanks!

I saw the one Carolyn has, and had contacted her about making mine into a pendant, however, she said no for two reasons, no time for custom work, and she only work with high carat yellow gold

Nevermind

I am still making enquires, and have not given up yet

A labor of love!

No diamonds???!!!

I love diamonds

I *think* it is doable, however, some may consider a bit OTT for a pearl that is less than 28 USD, bargain!!!

It is 17.04mm x 13.10mm x 11.57mm, so the pendant should be substantial enough for my fat neck!

Can't see anything either. But I did like Gem Geek's link.

Ditto all, Nathan.

Hi DK!

In case you haven't yet found a solution concerning your black Akoya, I would suggest selecting one of the pearl dealers you are most familiar with on this forum and arrange to send in your existing necklace so that they can select a matching strand from their inventory. Right now, all of us are stocked up for Christmas and will have a very large inventory to pick from in order to best match your necklace. Most would probably do the stringing for free for you.

Hope this helps!!

Thanks for looking into this for me.

I have re-strung the black and white akoyas as a strand of double, which IMHO works very well.

Therefore, I am no longer looking to match the strand anymore.

Thanks again for your help

black and white double strand

black and white double strand? That is a great idea! I had thought of offering a necklace with alternating black/white colors, but not of trying a white/black multi-strand combo... I bet you get a lot of compliments!
