Hi peeps,
Just realised I posted about this project in another board first, and not on PG, sorry!
This is my replacement 50th birthday present for myself for next year, as my Wilma Flintstone necklace project has not been too successful (the spec for the necklace will need to be revised in order to have a chance of finding more suitable pearls, or the project canned altogether).
The inspiration for the interchangeable gemstone as bale came from a ring with screw-on gemstones. Here is a conceptual drawing of the design:
Jeff White of Whitesgems is going to cut a 9mm approx. Rubellite Tourmaline and a 9mm approx. White Topaz for me for the bale.
Two pearl drops have already been purchased, both from Agustus-Collection, here are Sven's photos, first a 17mm+ Tahitian, and a 18mm+ Sea of Cortez Mabe (it will be set the other way up in a bezel setting):
I am hoping to purchase a white SSP about the same size as the Tahitian from Sven later this year to complete the set for the time being.
Looking forward to wear the finished article next year!
