3 prong... 4 Prong... or Halo Pendant ????

[signal_4]

Hi everyone !!!!! Ok Im needing the advice from all the experts here (meaning everyone)!!!! I am wanting to suprise my fiance with a necklace to wear on our wedding day... I have been looking at alot of the threads regarding pendants. I am definitely going to go with Whiteflash for the pendant since I have always bought from them. I am needing all the info that every one has on 3 prong.... 4 prong .. and Halo pendants... I have read alot of people saying that the 3 prong''s flip alot. Do the 4 prongs flip alot as well ? Does the size of the stone depend on how much it will flip. I have been looking at stones from WF ranging from .5 to .777 all ACA. Has anyone here have a picture of a Halo pendant made from WF. The other necklace that I am considering is the "Three Pears In a Row" listed in thier WF Gallery. Has anyone bought this necklace before from WF. I know that she has made hints that she has wanted a single or halo before.

Ok people the floor is now open so lets fill this thread up with all of your opinions and advice and be sure to post all of your pictures !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks alot everyone

3 prongs can flip so I vote no on them. Aljdewey has a beautfiul pendant that was done by WF. Perhaps you might like that one. Sorry can''t post a pic but someone else can I''m sure. Good luck!!!

Here''s my WF custom halo pendant with about a .5 stone (yours would look even nicer, because my center is a family stone --low color and clarity and not a great cut)

I am waiting for my 3 prong pendant from Whiteflash, so I will let you know when it gets here how much it flips. I was under the impression that 4 prong settings will flip more than 3 prong ones, but I could be wrong. Either way, I have 3 prong earrings and a 3 prong bracelet, so I like that they will all match. Halo settings are very nice too, and will make your center diamond look a lot bigger. I would probably not use them on a diamond below .5 carats because I think the halo overwhelms the diamond, but since you are looking at diamonds bigger than that, you will be ok.

By the way, I don''t know the timing of when you want to get this pendant, but the 3 prong settings have been on backorder. They are supposed to be in tomorrow I think, but that may change.

Has anyone here have a picture of a Halo pendant made from WF?

Sure do. This is a .75 ACA center stone with .01 melee. This one is 2-tone (platinum in the center bezel/prongs; 18k yellow on outer rim/chain.)

Al, I never get tired of seeing your pendant! The yellow gold, the halo, the ACA....sigh.

I vote for the halo pendant too. I love them and would add a lot of sparkle on her neck.
