As always, I would everyone's opinion on settings and diamonds. My studs were lost/stolen so I need new ones AND I want a matching pendant.
Originally I was planning on going with new milgrained bezels from ID jewelry, however they raised their prices and at the same time I found a matched pair of OEC at a good price so I will be going custom. I can't send insured to the US ( live in Sweden) so I will try to recreate the design I decide on with a jeweler over here.
I love milgrained bezels that are pretty open in the back however since the diamonds are OEC I am worried that they will need more light (bad experience with my OMC e-ring) so maybe I should go with eight prongs?
The stones are a matched pair of good cut OEC 0.35ct each I color and eye clean SI.
Which setting should I go with? And if anyone has any pros and cons?

The pendant will be the same as the studs. I can not wear the culet on my skin because I get a rash but I want the back as open as possible. A dream would be some type of mechanism so that I can attach a dangle to the pendant, any idea how this would be possible?
I have been looking at something like this http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/home/ring-details/?product_id=5352 . Oh yes and the chain should be removable too. Lots of demands, I know .
I did buy a diamond for the pendant but I am kind of regretting it. It is a very lively transitional cut diamond at 0.43ct, H color and I1 clarity. The clarity is kind of why I regret the purchase. It has a visible black inclusion. I thought it would be fine since its for a pendant and no one will be looking closely at it but now I don't know what to do. What would you do? Keep it or find a new one and suck up the loss?
