Like many of Wendy's designs, this starburst pendant was inspired by a brilliant woman -- Queen Elizabeth I. Her artisans in New York City sat with Wendy for hours discussing proportion, creating balance with a multi-strand chain, and planning where to place each diamond to portray dazzling rays of light 18K yellow, satin finish. Over 2 carats of F/G VS diamonds. 2 1/2 wide pendant on 16 quadruple chain. Limited edition, number 3 of 3. Made in New York City.
