I retired last year and wanted to benchmark my career with a custom designed platinum pendant and a 11.60 karat natural black diamond. My family comes from a Swedish and Scotish background and wanted a Celtic Knot theme. I found exactly what I was looking for in a ring from Diamondere and asked if they could take that design and turn it into a pendant. In less than a day, their design "magicians" had sent me back a stunning rendition of the pendant I had in mind from the previous year. Once it arrived and the stone was set, I had it appraised. The appraisal was for twice what I had paid for the stone and setting. However, it was appraised as a beautiful "ladies" pendant. Given this fact and the reality that besides my retirement, we had our 30 year wedding anniversary approaching, our children had successfully finished their schooling recently and were now productive members of society and my wife's 65th birthday was on the same day I picked up the pendant from the jeweler, consequently, my wife got a magnificent and well deserved birthday present.
I have now begun another similar project with Diamondere using a 30 karat natural black diamond with Rhodium coating being referred to by me as "The Junkyard Dog". I would expect another beautiful platinum pendant from the magicians at Diamondere but, hopefully not quite as beautiful as the last one, I'd actually like to wear it this time around.
