Hi PSers.

It's been a while since I have posted. Took a little break! Anyway. Thinking of taking advantage of BGDs Black Friday pendant sale.

Thinking of getting the fixed bezel pendant in 18k yellow. Although I might chicken out and get white gold.

Anway I need to pick a diamond under $500. After seeing that sweet .10 that someone posted I haven't been able to get this pendant out of my head. Seems like BGD doesn't have much but do any of you see anything worth it? Looks like I'm talking .20-.30 range? Thoughts?
 
Color?

Personally I'd be looking at J's and K's.
 
I think you might have to email or call them if you can't anything listed. I took advantage of the sale and by the time I got my offer code, my choices had dwindled significantly. I did get one of the 7% off diamond ones, so yay!
I went with a martini setting in yellow gold and my diamond was .23, F, SI1 and I think it was about $630 total.

Woah! Awesome. I'm on a long drive in the passenger seat lol. That's why I'm asking for help. The mobile site isn't working so great for the search functions. We all know bgd doesn't do chat this late. I wish! Was the setting basically free?
 
The martini is regularly 375, so 190 off that. I think the cute basket with bail is basically free, but I have always lusted for the martini setting.

Just to give you options JA is having a 25% off sale, that means it's settings are 25% off.

And this stones is nice one: http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.30-carat-k-color-si2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-263417

Gets you to 4.3mm at budget. And that stone is graded by AGS with an 0 for ideal light performance.

The problem is I have always wanted a BGD bezel. You know his perfect bezels. Lol. Anyway. I have the I in the basket. I need to keep this under or at budget for sure.

Did you do wire transfer or CC. Not sure what my bank charges for wire and when you consider the discount does it save anything?
 
I own several of his perfect bezels. So yes, I understand.
You can ask them to find you a great GIA 3x K SI1-VS2 eyeclean with a good HCA (under 2) and a crown higher than 34 and a pavilion 40.6- 41% and buy that. (You can just read them that over the phone). That might be a better way to go. :wavey:

Ask them to shoot for a 60/60 with Fluorescence if they can do it, that will bring down the price and maybe eek out a bit more size for you.
 
I used the cc, the wire transfer would have saved less than $30 so not worth it to me. My bank is very nice, but it takes forever to do anything there.
 
I feel like you are having the same dilemma I just had!

After LLJ posted her little 10pt BGD DBTY necklace, I was also thinking of getting in touch with them about creating something similar for me too. Then when I saw this sale, I couldn't pass it up. I also caved during the sale and purchased the BGD fixed bezel pendant in white gold with a .25 I VS2.

I have actually been wanting a DBTY necklace, so after I purchased to take advantage of their sale, I got in touch with Lesley and am having the setting modified to add a couple of 15pt diamonds on either side of the center pendant for a graduated DBTY effect. I'm planning to add more bezeled diamonds over time. I'm so excited about his perfect bezels!

So, what did you decide to do?
