Need advice on buying a heart shaped diamond pendant

[Diamond Luver]

Hi everyone, looking to buy a heart shaped diamond pendant - either a pave heart or a floating heart. Which do you think is prettier and will give me the most classic look? Can anyone recommend vendors? Following are two that I am looking at so far. One is a floating heart from Signed Pieces. The other is a pave heart from Whiteflash. Any and all suggestions and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Both are different looks, personally I would pick the SP heart, but which one speaks to you??

Either would be great choices..

Wow, tough choice. Both are very beautiful and would fall now to personal tastes. I prefer the SP because I like bigger and more visible diamonds, but the WF piece is very unique (more like lots of little sparkles). Does she currently have any heart shaped jewellery? I also think the SP pendant is a classic and very safe choice.

They are both beautiful, but different looks. Can''t go wrong with either, probably!

They are both really pretty, but I prefer the SP pieces, I would definately choose that one for myself. But I like the open heart look and have found that open-heart type of pendants to be around for a while, but usually set like...

But I prefer the way the SP one has the diamonds. I think Tiffany and Co. Sells one just like it also... http://www.tiffany.com/shopping/item.aspx?sku=12976542&mcat=148203&cid=96700&menu=0&page=11

I''d go with an "Arlene Francis" look.

Hi bfready, what is the ''Arlene Francis'' look?

She made that look popular back in the day.

Hi bfready, what is the ''Arlene Francis'' look?

Arlene Francis was most famous for being a (brilliant) panelist on the 1950''s and 60''s game show "What''s My Line". Her husband was an actor in the legitimate theater and bought her a diamond pendant, much like the one you''re looking to purchase. Apparently women were captivated by it, and that''s why it became popular back then. I did a google search, and some places still refer to the pendant as "Arlene Francis" style.

If you have access to GSN, the Game Show Network, it''s worth finding an old episode. (That''s the only way I''d have ever known about her.) But when the old stage lights of the theater caught her diamond pendant, the sparkle is quite impressive, even in the kinescopes.
