Santa aka Greg was good to me this year....I've been proudly wearing my .38c Regent for a few years now, and while I love it for daily wear, I have been feeling like I needed something with a little more impact for days when I felt like my neck needed a little extra bling.
Recently, WF had a .94 K VS that was up on their site...a friend pointed it out to me. When I went to look at it thinking if it was seriously true I would get it...it was SOLD! Yikes! Fast mover.
So when this beauty came up for sale...I jumped on it. I have wanted to get a K stone for a while...being that I love a beautiful J stone and my girlfriend has an amazing 1.6 K ACA from WF...I knew that a beautiful K would be perfect for a pendant.

Since I don't wear much in the way of bling bling jewelry...I wanted something simple. I went into Tiffany with some fab diamond friends and tried on about 5 diff styles of necklaces. Everyone agreed that the thin bezel set was the way to go.
Dilemma ensued. I wanted to get something like the super thin simple bezel with exposed culet like Tiffany's...but I wasn't sure that the .78c would be my final diamond...being that I wanted more like a 1c for a pendant, to just do it once and for all. However, I wasn't sure...being that .78c is a significant size, so with a thin bezel it might be more than enough size wise for me. I decided to have WF set the stone into their stock pendant setting with major modifications to make it as close as possible to the Tiffany style but without going custom.
The final product is fabulous...I am so glad I went this route for now and MAN this sucker is HUGE with the bezel. I am feeling a little awed by how large it is...but I'm sure I will get used to it.
Greg was a "K"ristmas meanie and wrapped it immediately and put it under the tree so I've been staring at the box for a few days now.
WF did sent me one pretty vanity shot to tide my over until the big day. It looked so wonderful and I was amazed at how thin the bezel was.
