Well, sorta. I''m feeling the urge to tinker with my current bling. I ought to restrict myself to $750 or so, but could talk myself into going up to $1500.

I have a .5 carat pendant in a 4-prong basket setting from WF

One thought is to get this diamond set into a halo bezel pendant, pics

That would be the sensible option, and might hold me until Christmas bonus time, lol.

Alternatively, I''ve been thinking about maybe a different setting for my engagement ring. I currently have a Legato sleek line from WF.

I was thinking about maybe a Legato micropave?

Well, I''ve really been jonesing for a halo bezel setting for my e-ring, but that''s at the upper end of my budget or really over it. And I do think I''ll probably upgrade the stone in the next couple of years, so maybe it makes no sense to upgrade the setting now? But, given that my current stone is on the small side, haloing it might hold me off for longer on the upgrade front.

Thing is, maybe I just have a godawful big neck, but my .5 carat pendant looks so small. I''m not sure that haloing it will have the same impact as upgrading the e-ring setting. My e-ring stone is not much bigger, but looks more impressive on my hand.

Thoughts?
 
Okay, one additional thought. With my budget, I don''t think that diamond earrings are really in the budget. But, I could get a nice pair of white sapphire studs, IF, .8 carat total weight, for about $350. Thoughts on that plus the halo for my pendant, vs. Or an upgrade to the e-ring setting?
 
Ohhhhhhhh, because I want a pendant so bad I can taste it.....my opinion will be biased toward the neck bling.

I don''t know, we''re thinking maybe we should upgrade our wedding set to this: http://www.e-weddingbands.com/store/lordofrings.html

I''m leaning toward haloing the pendant. And maybe also something small from Tiffany''s, in sterling silver, possibly a bracelet. So many choices, sigh.
 
I just saw marcyc''s new diamond dangle earrings, and they are absolutely beautiful - although I really have NO idea how much they would cost, but they were pretty...
