Hi, folks :D You helped me pick out a great diamond for my engagement ring (she said yes, 6/19/10 is the date!). So, I''m back for some more great advice :)

My fiancee turns 30 next month, and I was thinking of getting her a Flower Cluster Diamond Pendant from whiteflash.com - probably the 7.50mm version. Does anyone have this particular pendant, that can comment on it? What do you think of it? I like it because it looks like a flower, and kind of like a snowflake too, so it''s wearable all year ''round. Do you think the 7.50mm would be too big, or should I go with a smaller one?

Should I go with that, or should I get something in garnet, her birthstone?

To add to this, I''ve already got her a Valentine''s Day gift, which is an Eternal Circle pendant from Tiffany & Co. My company lets us choose gifts for our anniversaries, and I chose that for my 10th anniversary gift so I could give it to her. She doesn''t know. So, should I look for something for her birthday besides another pendant? Maybe a garnet/diamond bracelet...anyone know of any nice ones or a place to look?

For my wedding gift to her, I plan on buying her some diamond earrings - she doesn''t have any, and I think whiteflash or Blue Nile would be able to set me up with some beauties :D So, maybe she could wear the flower cluster pendant with her diamond earrings on our wedding day, if I got that for her.

To recap (sorry!) :P

whiteflash.com pendant (any opinions on it?) vs. something with a garnet(s)
Go with something besides a pendant?

Thanks!
 
I don''t have the WF pendant, however it would be beautiful so if you like that, I would get her that. If you are interested in Garnets, there are sooo many colored garnets, and quality of garnets out there, if you are interested in colored stone, you should enlist the colored stone folks on this forum to help find you a beauty...its a whole different animal than diamonds.

How bout just a plain old solitaire pendant (bezel pendant) and put a Expert or ACA stone that you could upgrade later? just a thought
 
You are such a wonderful Fiance - she sounds like she is spoiled (in a good way)!!

I have the flower cluster pendant and I LOVE it - my husband got it for our 1-year anniversary, and I wear it all the time, its beautiful, and appropriate for every occasion - looks good with everything, and is the perfect size.
 
Meant to reply to this sooner, but thanks SO much for the replies! I decided to go with the following:

Given that my parents gave my fiancee a beautiful monogram pendant with a garnet in it, and I have a Tiffany pendant to give her for Valentine''s Day, I think a 3rd pendant is just getting excessive right now :)

So, I''ve ordered the Whiteflash Flower Cluster Earrings (6.25mm) for her birthday, and I''ll give her the matching pendant on our wedding day :D

I can''t wait until they arrive and I can see them in person!

Thanks again for all of your perspective on these things. I''m considering Whiteflash for my wedding band, as well!
