I upgraded my diamond pendant!!

[risingsun]

I had the HOF Fullfillment pendant in the .50 ctw size. I decided to double my pleasure and upgrade to the 1 ctw version. The first pic was taken by my jeweler to show the difference in size.

 

[risingsun]

Here is a neck shot. I will come back later and take a group pic with the matching earrings

I will also see if I can get another couple of pics of the pendant. It sparkles like a disco ball. It doesn't honk [tm Kenny], but I've heard some beeping from my chest

I'm tired now and off to bed

it's a beauty, marian!

but - you're kidding with one picture, right? i want to see gallery shots, back shots, neck shots, shots from the north east corner at sunrise, the south west angle at noon, dangling off flowers, inserted into the branch of trees, on complete strangers, members of your family, the family pet....

ok. i know you're probably not up to any of this. but this is what husbands are for, surely?

seriously - i love it marian - what a beautiful necklace. congratulations.



ETA *matching earrings*???? holy mother of bling...you rock, girl!

sleep well, friend of mine.

Stunning upgrade! What an amazing ball of sunshine.

 

[chiquitapet]

What a beautiful upgrade!!! It looks gorgeous on you!

Have a nice sleep! But after that we need more pictures!

 

[lasscreative]

Risingsun,

BEAUTIFUL!! Love it!

Looks great on you.

 

[ang3199]

It looks beautiful on you!

 

[wsblue430]

Oh my lordie, nice upgrade! ITS A BEAUTY!

 

[oddoneout]

The original and upgrade are beautiful.

 

[Maisie]

Oooh Marian! It looks fabulous on your lovely neck! There is a HUGE size difference between the previous one and the new one! I want one. I do!

 

[MissGotRocks]

That is a substantial upgrade Missy! It looks gorgeous on you - we will be waiting for more pics of that one!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Oooo, it''s gorgeous! I didn''t know HOF had an upgrade policy.

 

[susimoo]

I love that style. Lucky you!!

Your engagement ring is my favourite on here and now it seems so too is your diamond pendant!!

We obviously both have great taste!!! he he

I am looking forwards to lots more pictures. Please do not disappoint your audience!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Natylad]

GULP

...my jaw dropped...That is stunning

 

[geckodani]

Oooooo. It''s gorgeous! And LMAO at your chest beeping, LOL!

 

[dani13]

Oh, I love that!!!!! Enjoy it, and wear it in much good health and happiness- you deserve it!!!!!!

 

[tyty333]

Lovely RS! Thats cool it matches you e-ring.

 

[luv2sparkle]

it is lovely! It does look gorgeous on your neck! Congrats! More pics please!

 

[risingsun]

Thank you for all your kind compliments!! I will take more pics. I don't know if I can accomodate all of Whitby's requests, but I might be able to take one of the pendant swinging from the chandelier

To MTG, yes, I am able to upgrade my HOF pieces for 100% of the purchase price. If I had MTG's photo skills, you would all have something to look forward to, but remember it's moi. And it's winter. And I can't trust the companion animals to pose with bling. Abby--the cat--would swipe it under the oven in about two seconds flat. Charlie--the dog--would consider it an unusual, but acceptable, chew toy or treat

I'll be back...

ETA: The earrings, which I've posted here before, have .50 ctw drops. I won't be upgrading them anytime soon...or ever, more likely

 

[Luckyeshe]

Stunning necklace!!! WOWZA!!!! It looks lovely on you!! I can''t wait to see pictures of the earrings and necklace together!!

RAOFLMAO--I will do what I can, Whitby. I really needed a good laugh

 

[Bella_mezzo]

[lizzyann]

Beautiful upgrade!!! Definitely more pics!!!

 

[vespergirl]

Gorgeous, I love it!

 

[LostSapphire]

There is NO better medicine on earth than some serious bling!

Congratulations! It''s beautiful.

[elle_chris]

Very, VERY pretty. Love halo pendants.

 

[FancyDiamond]

This is the one. This is what I want for my 1-ct RB.

 

[FancyDiamond]

Do you mind tell me the melee size and diameter of your stone? Thanks.

 

[gemgirl]

Oh oh OH!!! Marian, honey, you don''t mess around at all! My gosh, that is gorgeous! It really is, every aspect of it-gorgeous. What a great size. It looks fabulous around your neck.

There''s no better pick me up than a new sparkley piece of gorgeous bling. I love it, and I may just have to borrow yours!

 

[FancyDiamond]

i have another question regarding the chains. The smaller pendant has an interlocking loop kind of chain, whereas the larger pendant has a wheat-like chain. Which one do you prefer, and why? Which chain feels more substantial? Which feels more comfortable? Lastly, what is the thickness for each chain?

Thanks.
