Stunning Deliveries - White Gold & Old Mine Cut Diamond Bangle!
Back in August, I wrote about another stunning delivery that came to my doorstep....a light yellow, old mine cut .61 carat diamond (you can see the original post here). At the time, I was in love with the diamond - just not the setting. I wanted to do something a little different with it.
But, I had no idea what that "something a little different" would be. And then...I saw these bangles from Jewels by Grace when Grace and I were discussing her Feature Friday Q&A. So long story short...I thought it would be fabulous to have this little stone filled with character get a new life in one of her bangles.
That choice made, then the tough decisions really started! Should I do all white gold, all yellow gold or a mixture of both? In the end, I decided that I'd let Grace choose for me once she saw my little stone. Yup, always trust the professionals!

| Here's the little beauty removed from its traditional yellow gold basket setting. The chunky facets of this stone are what got me - it just has tons of character! |

| These bangles by Grace are amazing! They don't slide around on the wrist so the diamond is on full display on top of your wrist. Perfect for everyday wear! |

| I chose the heavier gauge band & love how it sets off the heavy stone. I think the white gold looks amazing & softens the light yellow of the stone. The bezel setting also protects the stone & doesn't catch on anything the way a prong setting might. These bangles are amazingly comfortable. I often forget that I had it on because it fit my wrist so perfectly. |

I am amazed to see that you decided to capture the photos of your bangles within leaves. I have to agree that it was a fantastic idea and it is looking really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Timothy! I love to photograph the jewelry that I write about in unusual settings. I really think of jewelry as artwork and so I feel that it should be showcased in the photos - not me. :) Plus I, personally, think it's harder to picture what the piece would look like on yourself when you have a picture in your head of how it looks on someone else.
