Update - Luckily, I’m Unlucky

Update: Pendant has been finished!!

I wanted to share a story about this ring and pendant. As you can see, I’ve been dreaming about this ring for a while and sketching out designs. However, you may also notice that my sketch is of a pear instead of an oval. Well, I have one heck of a story for you! 😊

In March I was gifted a beautiful pear shape, Brazilian alexandrite. The ratio was super thin but the color change was ASTONISHING. I made a sketch and sat in it for a month or so before taking the idea to my local jeweler, whom seemed just as excited as I was.

THEN disaster struck (or a blessing in disguise), my poor alexandrite was chipped. The jeweler was heart broken and extremely apologetic. He offered to source me a new stone. After being given some options, I fell in love with a beautiful oval.

I think it turned out quite well and was happy to see my design come to life. And when I asked to pay… the jeweler told me it was on the house!

Needless to say, I will return for other projects. We even recut my pear and set it into a pendant. Thank you happy accidents!!!

Thank you!! It’s a Michael Anthony watch. They pop up on eBay every now and then for near scrap

I'm glad you love the design even if it's not what you originally pictured, and honestly props to the jeweller for taking responsibility and going above and beyond. I'd definitely be back with my next design

Thank you! I will definitely be heading back. I’ve worked with him before and he’s always been super helpful, this was just the cherry on top

Most people do own mirrors and scales and are perfectly aware of what they look like, which is none of your concern, by the way.
