These images of my RB re-set from WF just arrived today.

The goals of this re-set were to give the diamond more presence and to prevent flipping, twisting, and traveling around my neck. The new chain can slide through this setting. There are eight 7-point melee in the chain, 4 from my pear necklace re-set. I don't care for bezels or halos or bails, so this was not easy.

Not sure when to expect FedEx. I'll try to give an update about the success of this design when I can wear it for a while.

Here are the previous threads. Many thanks to my PS friends who helped me!

Enjoy the eye candy!

Thanks MissGotRocks, arkieb1, DandiAndi, AprilBaby, Calliecake, DS, gregchang, thecat, and cflutist!

Just received an email that the pendant will ship out today. Oh, and I think the PT950 is rhodium-plated. Thanks DS!

While we're waiting, neck shot courtesy of WF. The WF gals played with it and said the diamond does not flip! :appl:

The smaller bezels look thicker or is it my imagination? Anyways, can't wait to see more real life pics!

Hi mom2boys! Sorry I'm unclear. Thicker than what?

Hi Starry! I think it is a perspective issue b/c your melee are smaller in size (I have 15pt bezels from WF in a DBTY necklace) so it just looks thicker but in actuality they may be exactly the same width.

Hmmm. Interesting. These are certainly small diamonds. Just a little texture and sparkle for the chain.

Thanks pregcurious, DF and apacherose!

So here's the icing - I have a friend who works in management at a very high-end fashion house (carries the bags, wears the clothing, jewelry and watches), who could not stop staring at my necklace today!! That's the kind of "presence" this diamond needed! :naughty:

This setting stays put! The diamond is not flipping or traveling up my neck at all. I love it!

I apologize for the picture delay. I was so concerned about the appearance of my neck for neck shots that I slathered every product under the sun on my skin and wound up with a big pimple! :shock:

So first, here are some close-ups of the setting:
