I recently inherited a small round diamond, it's currently set in a ring but the jeweler estimated it to be ~0.5ct. It's sentimental as it was a family member's that passed away - so I definitely plan to keep it - I was thinking of setting it into something I could wear every day such as a pendant. I was leaning towards Brian Gavin's Barbara pendant with milgrain - but in looking at the website it seems like prices may have gone up quite a bit since I last looked? I was planning on platinum as that's what my wedding set it (and given its sentimental, I wouldn't upgrade this piece) - maybe that's not necessary?
I guess my questions would be:
- Is platinum worth it for a pendant/necklace? (versus white gold)
- Considering its an outside diamond, they will charge $89 to set it, plus shipping, on top of the $775 price for the pendant/necklace - is this really the best option? Or can you recommend anyone that would be a bit more affordable (but still great quality)?
- I would be open other settings or ideas for the diamond as well!
Thanks
