The Beauty of the bench

 

This beautiful family piece came to us from Mike Tidwell with the The Jeweler’s Bench in Bay City, MI

Mike received a commission to create a 50th birthday pendant from a customer.

Once, the design was in process,

the customer added in the children’s birthstones, to make it a family piece.

Her children’s birthstones are on the top right and his children’s birthstones are on the bottom left.

All mountings, findings, and gemstones are from Stuller, with the exception of the 10mm x 10mm peridot trillion. The parts list included an 81186 slide in 14kt yellow, a #680 3-prong V-end trillion setting to accommodate the peridot, and 5-2mm, #114 round 4-prong low base settings to hold the birthstones.

How did the recipient react? Mike told us, “She loved it!”
