Our latest creation for an aspiring male model is one heck of a cross! This all began with the center cross in gold. We covered that cross in diamonds and designed the background cross in 18k. To add a little spice, the ends are set with Tanzanite (honest, we don't set this in all of our pieces) and Pink Sapphire. It's difficult to imagine the time that went into this piece, but trust me, all other work came to a virtual standstill for nearly a week solid. This pendant has a hidden hinged bale on the back, as it is worn on an endless chain.
Regardless of your opinion of the style and scale of this creation, it certainly has accomplished the intended objective. This cross is like a free pass to any club in town. I could never imagine wearing it myself, but I must admit that I find the shapes and colors appealing as a piece of art. Knowing first hand the effort that went into this project only adds to my affection.
Variety is part of the appeal of the design profession. Both in style and technical execution, new challenges keep the old juices flowing, and this project sure contributed on both counts.
Let me know what you think of this piece, and I promise that the next photo posted will not have any Tanzanite!
