Recommendations for Solitare Pendant Vendors

[N2D-986S]

Well about a year ago you all taught me so very much about diamonds for the engagement ring. Now with the wedding only 26 days away I am a little behind on the gift for the bride. I decided I want to go for a single solitare pendant necklace with the look of the one below:

I know WF has a version of this and they even have the Ready Set Go version but I would like an H color stone to match her Ering. I am looking for a .75 size or so in the H SI quality range with, obviously, ideal cut stats Are there any other vendors other than WF who has this look available...I checked James Allen and a few others but couldn''t find this look elsewere. I want to be in the price range of $2,000 - $2,500. What do all of you think, has anyone done the Ready Set Go version at WF, can they do different stones? Thanks!

I remember you and your gorgeous MM ring!


The other vendors can provide well cut diamonds in a simple solitaire similar to the one shown no problem, but as to the colour you wouldn't notice any difference most likely up or down a couple of grades - however if you are set on an H then that is fine of course! Or you could select your diamond at WF and have a similar setting to the RSG.

Does the stone have to absolutely have to be an H? An I will look the same as an H. Also, why are you looking to find another vendor aside from WF?

Here are a few great stones I color stones from WF:

MC & Lorelei, Thank you for your advice on this. I ended up just going for the I color stone below:

You are right, the I color should be fine, I am just very picky but realized when I was looking at stones that this one is not nearly as important as the E-Ring center that I picked out. The I will face up beautifully and hopefully be big enough to wow as a pendant as well. I am mounting it in the following setting:

Now I just have to figure out when to give it to her on the wedding day, I think I am going to hold it until after the reception and make it the first gift of our marriage.

Thanks again for the advice, it comes in next Friday and I am confident that PS will have assisted yet again in making my Bride-to-Be very very happy
