My new pendant!!

[risingsun]

I went to the jewelers today. I took in a pendant that I know longer enjoyed wearing. What was I to do? I was looking at the HOF pendants. Overpriced, to be sure...but my jeweler was willing to take my old, ungraded, not so nice pendant for a very nice trade. I did what I had to

Oh Marian it is just stunning!!! I too understand the lure of Hearts on Fire and trade-ins with your local jeweler. Their pieces may be overpriced, but they are always beautiful and these trade-ins can be hard to resist. Can you get a really detailed close-up shot of this beauty for us???

Edited to add: Is this the one with tiny diamonds around the center stone?

 

[risingsun]

Thanks for looking...I''ve been very bad and I cannot buy anything else for a looooong time

 

[Tacori E-ring]

It''s beautiful!

Oops sorry, didn''t mean to post in the middle of your pictures! See my comments above.

Thank you, Sundial

This is as macro as my camera will go. I have one shot that picks up the table and I''ll edit and post that one. My jeweler will eventually own all of my old pieces

It''s not worth trying to sell them, so I''ll just upgrade!! My poor husband was just shaking his head, but I think he knew that I was up to something. I do love the HOF pieces and when I have something to offer in trade, I''m a goner

Ringsun,

Your pendant is INSANELY Goregous

I Love it!

 

[risingsun]

I was trying to get some fire and ended up with a table shot. It does show the detaiil a little better, but not very...This pendant is very fiery, but I can't capture it, especially on my neck! The center stone is set in a small halo, but I can't get the photo to show it properly. You can sort of see it in the first pic.

 

[Skippy123]

Please take more pics tomorrow outside in the sun. Beautiful; I am dying here over how beautiful it is!!!

How do I take pics in the sun when I can''t see my own neck....LOLOLOLOLOLOL. I''m a PS failure!!

I''m holding off on posting specs, because the size is very deceptive based on the appearance

Yes, the very one. Actually, there are two versions, one has an airline and one doesn't. Mine doesn't.

Risingsun, your pendant is beautiful! I love it. Aren''t upgrades the best?

 

[Jelly]

OH I love it! I''ve admired that pendant for over a year now! It''s gorgeous!!!

I really wanted it for my wedding and was drooling over it when I was shopping for pendants.

Congrats!

 

[Diamond*Dana]

Oh it''s gorgeous!

 

[snlee]

It''s gorgeous! I love it!

 

[monarch64]

Just lovely, love the length of the chain, as well as the setting! Great choice, risingsun, congrats!!!

 

[Ellen]

Just beautiful!! Good for you!

 

[iheartscience]

Wow, it''s beautiful! A great length and nice and HUGE! I''ll be interested to hear the specs!

 

[risingsun]

Thank you Sundial, Tacori, Skippy, marcyc, Jelly, Diamond*Dana, snlee, monarch, ellen, and thing20f2

The specs are .53 ctw and it's an I SI. It looks icy white IRL. When I saw it in the jeweler's display case, I thought it was much bigger. I may upgrade, in the future, but this style gives a lot of bang for the buck

...that is HOF bucks

I know, I know

It's the design. You should see the 1 ctw. It's just huge

I had this one on and pointed to another pendant and asked how big it was. The SA said that it was the same size as mine. She suggested going to a .75, but I had to throw a net over myself

Me too!!!

Congrats on your pendant.

 

[Stone Hunter]

It looks great. LOVE how the halo makes the center stone appear larger. So the TOTAL ct wt is .53? It def looks larger.

Can you post a picture of the pendant you traded in? I love before and after shots.
