But to me a real jeweler is one that has studied the art professionally, makes beautiful settings using precious metals and the lost wax casting technique and doesn't just string a bunch of beads onto a beading cable all day. They are also the ones that know the difference between a rhinestone, a Cubic Zurconia a Moissanite and a Diamond. Not that I,myself, could tell the difference by sight, but if someone tells me, "This is a real Diamond and this is a CA", I'd be inclined to drool all over the diamond !<br /><br />Is this setting for the dark green cab that your mother originally wanted set or for the smaller but nicer (Sleeping Beauty?) turquoise cab that you were going to replace her original cab with ? I think this new pendant setting is lovely, though I also liked your first design, the triangular one. This one just looks a little more intricate, open and airy, while the other one was much more solid and had a more casual look to it...you know, the type of thing one would wear almost everyday with their favorite pair of jeans and a cute tee? Look forward to seeing the finished piece, bet it will be a real knock-out.Almost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.com
