Allright...I get one jewelry purchase this year.  I made a lot last year so I'm really not complaining, just want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything when I make this decision.  Obviously I don't need to make this decision today, but patience has never been one of my virtues.   So what would you pick?...

1.  Trade my .75cwt 5 stone ring for one that is 1cwt (I had always wanted the 1cwt one and wish I had gotten it to begin with!)

or

2.  Get a pear shaped diamond pendant, probably around 1/2ct.


The 5 stone band is my wedding band and I alternate between that and my 3 stone ring (I only wear one ring at a time).  I love the band but of course would like something a little bigger.

I already have a round .38ct pendant, so I technically don't need another one, however the pear pendant is something I *really* want.

My other option is not do anything and wait until 2007 and make a bigger purchase.  

Thoughts?  Thanks!

Well, I'm kinda biased, but I vote for the pear pendant.  It will face up bigger than your 0.38 ct pendant because it will be around a half carat anyway, but will look even BIGGER than that because pears face up larger than rounds. Besides, you can drool over your 3 stone ring for another year, and then upgrade the band. 

That's my vote!

I was going to say go for the bigger band but FG brings up a good point about enjoying your new SK ring and getting a 1/2 pear which would look bigger than your current necklace..did you decide on a setting for the pear if you get one?

A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

For the pear, if that's what I go with, I think I would get either a really thin bezel, or the standard basket setting.  I don't want the huge rabbit ear bail though.

I vote for the pear necklace.  You can upgrade the band later.  Seems like before you were really excited about getting a pear.

Definitely the pear pendant!  (And save the new 5 stone ring to celebrate your next good year--which will be THIS year, of course!!!)
