Can we improve on this pendant? (2 photos)

 This pendant has been on display since mid-2022, in an 'upscale' jewellery store in Toronto, Canada. I will explain my reasons why it hasn't been "SOLD".  These are my reasons only and should not reflect upon the retail store, its location nor its staff.


Here is the size of this pendant resting on a 'neck display'

  From my experience of (only) 64 years, I've seen many beautiful pieces of jewellery and unfortunately, this is not one of them, why?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) There appear to be many poor qualities of diamonds that were set into the gold. I could lose count of how many of them need to be 'replaced'.

2) These colours are dark-brown and black and not to mention there doesn't appear that any Rhodium Plating has ever been applied.

3) On the periphery of this round disk, there has been no metal cutting. My 'metal cutting' is in the form of "Bright-Cutting". A very simple design would improve the 'selling' factor. There is no 'outside border' anywhere to be seen.

4) There also hasn't been any form of 'ornamental' metal cutting such as in 'extra cutting' along the outside edge in using Onglette gravers.

5) All of the above reasons seem to be neglected in the diamond setting process.

  For such a large and heavy pendant why choose a light-weight chain?

 If you the 'blog reader', disagree, please email me.
