Our daughter got married at the end of August and my birthday was a week later. Naturally, I wasn't really thinking about my birthday as busy as I had been! My husband was adamant that I needed to choose something for my gift, and I just went with a classic staple piece that has been on the wish list for quite awhile! I wanted a diamond pendant to match my WF ACA studs which are about 1.3 cts each and H color, so I looked and found a 1.44 H VVS2 ACA, which ironically was priced less than a similar H VS! I usually won't pay for VVS, but I certainly love it when it works out that way! The diamond is perfect in every way (specs below), and my only qualm is that it's not really much visibly larger than my studs at 7.0 and 7.2mm. There were no 1.5-1.69 H VS ACAs, so choosing a larger stone wasn't an option at the time. In my real world, this pendant is plenty big, so it's only in my PS world that it seems small! I am sure DF is going to scold me on veering from the formula, though! I copied my friend @m-2-b on the classic 4 prong solitaire setting in platinum and the prongs are nice and invisible! I wish I could immulate her photography skills, but the iPhone pics are the best I can do!
Thanks to Becca, Liza, and Vera and all the great people at Whiteflash for helping me once again!
Here's the photo of the diamond from the WF site (table 55.2, depth 62.0, crown angle 34.9, pav angle 40.7, lgf 76):
Here it is with a my WF studs and DBTY bracelet (the necklace not shown), second pic has my ring added. These H stones face up very white!
