Emerald & Diamond Pendant

This client’s in-laws were immigrants and went through India on their travels, buying this gorgeous emerald with the little money they had left.

The diamonds were from her original engagement ring and she wanted a necklace that was easy to wear. With the pendant, Ray focused on the emeralds to retain the emotional value of their family history.

With the leftover diamonds Ray made a “blob” necklace, inspired by one of her favorite artists.

In Their Own Words

“I cherished the memories evoked by my inherited jewelry but rarely wore them. The designs were just not me! Finding the right person to rework the pieces was challenging. Ray has proven to be a one-of-a-kind find. Upfront, he invested considerable time getting to know me—my taste, my lifestyle, the backstory behind each piece as well as soliciting “honest” feedback on initial ideas. His artistry, superb craftsmanship and innovative creative process turned treasured but unwearable jewelry pieces into unique highly wearable works of art.”
