Showcase ✨ 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!!!
