Long time lurker, first time poster. Hello, friends! I have watched you help countless people spend their money on the most beautiful pieces imaginable - all for a great value, of course! No wasting of money done here. The best deals and the highest quality is always found. Well, I hope you've saved some of your dust for me, because I'm ready! Let me give you a brief history:
My husband and I have been married three years, and we did it differently. The engagement ring was $100, the wedding band was slightly more, but our first and foremost concern was our collective student loans totaling a whopping $200,000!!!
Over the past four years, we have thrown everything we can towards those loans and in two weeks we will submit our FINAL PAYMENT!!! I am so happy! But of course, all this means is that now it is time to BUY SOME BLING.
I've scrimped and saved for years. I've said "no" to the things I desire for a VERY long time. Now, I don't want to go crazy, but I would like to treat myself and also to mark this occasion. I've allotted at least $1000 CAD for this purpose. I was considering a new engagement ring, but I'm too sentimental and I just don't think I'd wear a different one. A necklace, though, would be quite fun!
Here's my wish list:
-A white metal (silver, platinum, white gold, palladium, etc)
-Uniquness (not a solitary diamond pendant - too boring for my taste!)
-Does not have to be diamond, but diamond is preferred (because they go with EVERYTHING, dahling!)
-Around $1000-1500 CAD. This is about $740-1000 USD. I am happy to spend less
but I want it to be special.
As for style, I just want something beautiful! If it's timeless, that's cool, but too generic will bore me. Any ideas for where to look? I've checked out Ruby Lane, JbG, and ebay. So far nothing has screamed "THE ONE". Where would you look if you were on my hunt?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions! I am very excited about this. I can't wait to commemorate this fruitful journey. I will wear this necklace and always think of what me and my DH have been able to accomplish.

I would look at Whiteflash since they have great quality diamonds in their jewelry.
this one would require a pin to pendant conversion. This dealer will definitely negotiate as I have purchased from them
