question for the jewellers/gold/silversmiths

Gee, it does look pretty in the photo, doesn't it? It looks smaller irl.

I usually wear only a small pendant on a leather string, often for months at a time, so I'd only be wearing it on special occasions anyway. I guess if I got my ears pierced I'd have to wear something in them regularly to keep them from fusing, right? That's ok, I think I could quite happily wear small amber or hematite studs daily.

Since I wear necklaces my first thought was to hang it on a chain or refashion it as a pendant, but it would be so small and dinky. I think the diamond would "come out" better on an earring close to my face. I was thinking of just the one diamond on one side and a small plain stud on the other side.

Good idea to get my ears pierced first and see how I like that. Upper cartilage - wow, never thought of that.

Oh, it's lovely! You can absolutely use the diamond in a pendant, and not have it be dinky. You just have to have more metalwork going on around the stone.

This pendant uses much smaller diamonds than yours:
