HI everyone!!
So the holiday season is coming up and my DH asked me what I wanted for my 25th b-day (which also happens to be Dec. 31st). Since getting my martini diamond studs I've been obsessed over a martini pendant. SO I suggested that I combine my christmas and birthday present in order to get a bigger, better present. (This kind of mentality is what PS has turned me into
)
Anyways Ive been researching and found out through this forum that in general the pendant should be bigger than the size of each earring. My earrings are 0.62 each, both H&A, AGSL 000 Ideal cut, G, SI1. Does that mean that my pendant should be at least 0.7 ctw??
I originally was eyeing a stone that was 0.63, G, SI1, AGSL 000 Ideal, with a HCA of 1.1 (x,x,x,vg) for a reasonable price ($1716).
BUT, in order to keep around my budget and uprgade in size, I found a few stones that have great cuts, but are J in color
1st: 0.70, J, SI1, AGSL 000 Ideal, H&A, HCA of 1.3 (x,x,vg,vg) - $1821
2nd: 0.78, J, SI1, AGSL 000 Ideal, H&A, HCA of 1.3 (x,x,x,vg) - $2002
So what do you guys think?? I've also researched in this forum and many recommend J colored stones especially if they are cut well.
Assuming all are eye clean (I havent asked the vendor yet, because I wanted to get you guys' opinion first) and all of them have negligble to no flouresence. What would you guys go for? The G or the J #1, or J #2

All are good stone, so I would drop definitely the G. J#1 or J#2 will depend on your budget I guess and if you think the extra $180 is worth the increase in size of about 0.15mm.
