Why don't you get a non-solitaire pendant... like the "journey" or "circle of life"  (doesn't have to be either one of those, but just used those as examples. 


Or a "Diamonds by the Yard" necklace...


Or some lovely diamond drop earrings...



What kind of jewelry do you wear the most (rings, necklaces, earrings?)

OH FUN!!!!!

I 2nd the notion of a Diamonds By The Yard necklace ... it will look lovely alone or with other necklaces & it's a classic. You could get pretty sizable stones, fairly close together ... OR ... spend part of the budget on that and get

A halo cushion sapphire RHR??


---OR---

A canary diamond halo or three stone RHR

---OR----

Pear drops for your current studs

---OR----

a stack of delicate micropave bands in pink & white & yellow --or pink & black & white -- or white & champagne & chocolate

I COULD GO ON & ON & ON

So many good necklace choices- but I always seem to forget to wear the ones I have! 

I am thinking I have to go with earrings (I wear some sort of earrings everyday) or RHR.  But ring is hard because I do not want it to compete with my e-ring.

Dangle earrings-  what shape, style, diamond cut jumps out at ya?

So many ideas- but i can not use credit for just any great jewelry- it has to go towards diamond only.  So no colored stones or other.  Will pears added to studs look sort of fancy?  i want to try to get something I would wear often.

3 stone rhr- the diamonds would be on the small side to get 3 for $15,000?  I will go look at prices...

Oh those are very good earrings ideas.  I guess my question was easy!   I just am so curious to see what other people love for ideas!  Great!

I love the idea of a canary diamond.  How about halo earring jackets for your earrings?

I've actually used this website as a source, but I would call Mark at ERD for pricing as well:

Since I also have the things you listed, the next things I want with $15,000 credit would be the DBY necklace and bracelet and a yellow diamond to make a right hand ring!




~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

Now I want those kate earrings - I'll take 15k if you can not decide what to get!

Does anyone know if that is a small round with halo leverback- or just one huge diamond on a leverback???

I would say either a RHR or drop earrings.  If you don't want a RHR to overpower your w-set, get both!  For 15K, you should be able to do quite well.  You are the fortunate one

That looks like one huge diamond - not a halo.  I wish I could afford them!!!  They look like the big sister of Alj's beautiful leverbacks.

Are you referring to the Kate Winslet picture?  I wasn't sure.  I got that pic from another PS thread where someone wanted to find replicas of the earrings.  I think it was from a magazine article.  Just in case you were referring to that picture.

That pic looks familiar to me...they might have been Harry Winston bezel set diamond earrings on Kate.  I think I saw it in a mag.

If you put a bezel around two stones that could make them look larger -  for your $15k credit.

Der - that would make more sense. 

And it's a darn good idea too.
