Do you think this is a good pendant stone?

This one from JamesAllen is RIGHT in our sweet spot for price & color. Gets a 1.8 on HCA ex/ex/gd/gd. She looks pretty with H&A even though it is only a "premium" cut, for the price (and size) I think this is a keeper -- anyone else? http://www.jamesallen.com/create-your-diamond-pendant/solitaire-pendants/pendant/item_164-786_design.asp?module=diamond&item=1198091 It's going in the 4 prong solitaire pendant . . . THANKS! 40 is the new 20, right?

Here's a stone with a tighter cut for a bit more--and at this size, I'm betting it's eye clean. Another option for you... http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/Whiteflash-ACA-cut-diamond-913049.htm Coati, G.G.

I think the Jame Allen one could be the winner. Anyone else have an opinion? Do you think this faces up small for a .33? 40 is the new 20, right?

Cocosgirl Cut Rock Total Posts: 183 Last Post: 8/25/2009 Member Since: 1/11/2008	Thanks everyone! the bluenile one looks similar but the setting is crazy expensive!! The JA one is $205. Whiteflash also has one for under $200....I think I'm going to bite the bullet and go JA...will let you know how it turns out! 40 is the new 20, right?

It will be beautiful - congrats!!!! Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn
