Hello everyone--I am new to PriceScope, although I admit to being a lurker for more than a year. This is absolutely the MOST helpful group I have every seen--plus you all make my jewelry addiction seem "normal"! I am usually able to find answers to my questions by searching the site, but this time it's a little more complicated. I am interested in a diamond pendant, and the leading contender is the Whiteflash Full Bezel style in platinum: http://www.whiteflash.com/diamond-pendants/full-bezel-diamond-pendant-1567.htm
My dilemma stems from the difference in the photos of this pendant from two different places on their website. The photos at the top of the website show the pendant with a smooth cylinder; however, if you scroll down to the photos at the bottom of recently purchased items, the pendant has a noticeable indentation all the way around. I have been emailing a Whiteflash representative, who tells me the pendant cannot be made in the smooth style, which of course I much prefer. She offered to check with some of their other vendors to see if a smooth version could be obtained for an additional price. I have never dealt with Whiteflash before, but they seem to come highly recommended on this forum. I must say, however, it seems more than a little odd that a high-end vendor would highlight a certain style on their website, and then tell you it is not available as shown! If I had ordered this over the web without noticing the difference in the pictures, I would have been extremely upset to receive something other than what was pictured. My question for the group is whether anyone out there owns this pendant and whether it has the indentation. Is it noticeable? Do you find the diamond gets adequate light through the full bezel? Is it easy to clean through the small hole at the back? Any concerns you might have about this purchase? Are you aware of other vendors who have a similar pendant setting? I've search quite a bit, but this seems fairly unusual, which is one of the reasons I like it. I am currently awaiting word back from Whiteflash as to whether they can find a version with the smooth cylinder, and if so how much "extra" this will cost. My previous large-ticket purchases have been through Brian Gavin, and I have never encountered anything like this. I would welcome any input you might have and thank you in advance for your assistance!
