Bezel Set Sapphire pendant

[openhelix]

I''m looking for a bezel (or half-bezel) set sapphire pendant/necklace for christmas. I haven''t had much luck finding anything. Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!

What''s your budget? You might think about buying the sapphire loose and then having it set in a bezel. I LOVE the bezel pendants at whiteflash.

I''d like to keep it around $1000 or less. If I buy it loose I''ll probably do it locally and have it set locally as well. Just wondering about some options and getting ideas.

Here''s the WF settings (half and whole):

And here''s the one that makes me drool - but would eat up a considerably larger portion of your budget (if you like diamonds, too)

WF has done some amazing custom bezels around here, too - some people like the bezel thinner or dislike the "mickey mouse ear" effect of where the chain meets the bezel, so they''ll fix that to your specs.

- I''ve been looking through some of the PS favorite vendors to see what they have currently on their webpages and I''m not really seeing a whole lot of round sapphires less than 1k. They certainly exist, though! Will keep looking...

This one is sold...and it''s also 1.5 cts, I don''t know what size you''re looking for - and it was priced at $960, so it would be pushing the budget with the setting, but if you like what you see at a vendor, it definitely doesn''t hurt to call and inquire.

LostSapphire has literally the prettiest sapphire I''ve ever seen and hers was done by Jeff White.
