Is this good price for the pendant?

[Butterfly123]

Hello Everyone!
I am in search for a pendant and I came across this one I really like. http://www.bluenile.com/product_details.jsp?oid=7882&pid=DP90400100

I saw soo many online and most of them come with a bezel around pave and I personally don''t like the look. Now my dilemma is should I buy from BN or purchase a seperate stone from WF so they can replicate the setting from BN? I purchased my ACA''s studs from WF and absolutely adore them.. they really sparkle. I have never purchased from BN.

I also am looking for diamond hoop earrings and I like the look of those but they are out of my budget. Does anyone know wher I can purchase cheaper diamond hoops? Thank you/

I don''t like that you cannot choose the center stone in that setting, although I think it is very small and so would not have a cert anyways. The setting itself looks like it is a stock casting from adwar or stuller. If it is, then WF or BGD could order it and then use their own melee to finish it off. That would be my first choice.

Are you talking about the .48 not having a cert due to size? All of my "very small" diamonds are certified. Regardless of carat weight, one should be sure they''re purchsed what they paid for.

to the OP. . .call around and see what various vendors, such as WF, can do for you. That why you''re part to the project process from start to finish.

Sorry, I misread the information about the pendant and thought it was .48 total weight, and so I assumed the center was under .25, which would mean probably no cert. If the center is .48 (which I would not call very small

) then I would definitely want a cert too!
