I picked-up my little .25 OEC bezel pendant! 

I have to say, I'm a little disappointed as my jeweler didn't do a great job on the soldering and the chain is yellow at the solder points so I'm going to take it back tomorrow to see what can be done. 

However, all in all, it was a cheap project for a cute little necklace.

Oooo, Metro, I love how it came out, well except for the yellow bits!! I love the milgraining on the bezel and it looks wonderful on you. I hope they can fix it for you quickly!

Oooh, I was waiting for this one!

The stone and bezel are lovely, but I see what you mean about the soldering; it keeps the chain from lying flat. I hope she can tweak it for you because otherwise, it's just lovely!

It's so nice to see an old cut stone for a smaller pendant. Big flashes, big fire!

Oh metro! Yeah, you're now in the OCC! I know how much you've been craving and old cut stone and yeah for you girl.

That said, may I make a suggestion? When you take it back to your jeweler about the yellowing on the chain, I think you should ask him to re-do the area where the chain attaches to the stone's setting. It seems to be stiff on both sides (as if he soldered part of the chain and stiffened it) and it should be flexible so the chain melds into the setting, if you know what I mean...I just mention it because I noticed it in the photo and that lovely little beauty deserves nothing to detract from it's natural beauty! Love it...

I really love the design and the chain!
Hopefully it will just be a quick fix so you can start to enjoy wearing it! When I had my earring reset it took 3 times for them to do it right so I know how you feel.

YES!  That was my "beef" with the necklace, aside from the yellowing of the soldering points.  I am to pick-up another little pendant that I had made into a charm tomorrow.  Errrr, I hope they don't think I'm being unreasonably picky, as it was an inexpensive little project.  I just want a quality job.

Anywoo.....

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMPLIMENTS!

I agree with surfgirl on getting them to alter where the chain attaches. It's a beautiful diamond!

Oh yes, what happened with it and other project you were going to pick up from the jeweller? The bezel is beautiful, I hope that you were able to get it fixed.

I actually just sold this necklace on ebay to raise more $$ for a few larger projects I have in the works!

The winner hasn't paid yet, but will be happy to know that I paid a visit my jeweler a few days ago and had the chain rhoudium-plated so there are no yellow bits.   
 
Funny - I got a lot of email from PS'ers who reconized my pics!  It's a small world (or PS is a really big world).
