Sundial''s pendant has an interesting bail that keeps it from flipping.

Bagpuss'' pendant with matching earrings. Nice.

 

[Stone Hunter]

Another that Bagpuss owns that is a heavy bezel and doesn''t flip.

Posted by D&T ideas from Stuller. Please ignore the non bezels. I couldn''t cut them out of her photo.

OK this is totally different but I like it. From OneGarnetGirl.

Loriken214''s unique bezel well she describes it as "flush set" by OneGarnetGirl.

Here''s one Westjenn posted as an idea. Very modern.

Mrs. Mitchell''s Pear. This is a lovely pendant!

k9muttlover''s heirloom stone (.25 ct) set in a bezel with a pearl dangle. Very creative use of a stone. Beautiful!!

kcoursolle's Blue Nile Bezel pendant. Same style/look as one I've posted before but the SIDE view is very different. This pendant is almost tapered looking. So this is for those that like a sleeker look.

 

[Stone Hunter]

OK. Here is the side view. I just couldn''t fit it in the above post. I think this is so cool.

You are very welcome. I got really into it, lovin the idea of a bezel pendant. I hope you figure out a setting and bail that you love.

Here is one more, from Ms Nina an OMC bezel. Yummy

My bezel pendant felt left out, so I promised it I would post a few pictures in this thread

. It's a BGD Signature H&A .757 J VS2 in their Barbara setting in platinum. I think it's been off my neck for a total of one day since I got it.

Kittybean -- thank you for posting your lovely new pendant!!

Sorry I missed it. Do you have any shots of the back of this pendant you could post? WAIT the shot on the right is the back! Could you zoom in closer? It is very unique. Oh and does it flip over alot or does the style keep it face up? Thanks



Edited to ask kittybean more questions.

I wish I had a better shot of the back to post, but my home computer is out of commission at the moment, so I only have what I posted before. Here''s a link to my thread about the pendant, where you can see Brian''s gorgeous shot of the back.

The design is awesome--it never, ever flips on me. I don''t know if you can tell in the photos, but it has three little loops that begin and end on the back of the bezel. One loop protects the culet, and the other two are what hold the chain at about 10 and 2. It''s on a 16" chain, but I also wear it on the jump ring at 15". Both stay face-up all the time. As with most slider necklaces, sometimes the clasp meanders down to the front, but that doesn''t bug me.

Here''s my new bezel slider from ID Jewelry, .80ct I SI-1. (Sorry for the crappy phone pic, you can see my reflection in the pendant.) While I really love the design, the thing kept flipping down on me constantly. So, it''s at the local jeweler right now being reset into a simple Stuller bezel with a bail to eliminate the flipping.

Could you post more pics of the back when you''re able too? I would really like to see how the three loops look.

 

[Stone Hunter]

Thanks for the details kittybean. Can''t wait for you to take more photos of the back. Sorry about your computer, that stinks.

pierreone -- That''s going to be lovely. Yeah for not flipping! Please post photos here when you get it.

Just spotted this thread after getting back from vacation! Sadly, the camera appears to have stayed with the hubs, so all I have are my old photos ... I keep planning to give this thing a proper photo shoot, but I never find the time! 1.3, E, SI1, bezeled with a crescent bale.

 

[Circe]

One thing I will mention ... the diamond is set in a fairly heavy bezel with a closed back, and for the first month I had it, it drove me NUTS that I couldn''t seem to get it totally clean. It was like it had developed a "ring around the collar": I could see a little growing stripe of dirt around the pavilion through the table. I did everything to try to clean it ... ammonia-based soaks, buying a steamer ... I even tried to see if one of my cat''s needle-like shed whiskers could get into the crevice! But, nothing, and I finally resigned myself to taking it back to the jeweler for a professional cleaning.

Slightly further away, around the neck:

 

[Circe]

HE couldn''t get it clean, either! So I sat there for an hour with my heart in my throat while he carved out a more open back with some incredibly fine bits, and, since then, no problems.

The moral of this story: if you''re getting a bezel, make sure it''s open-backed enough for cleaning! You''ll save yourself from feeling like Lady Macbeth, Diamond Edition ....

Finally, distance shot for perspective:

Here are both of mine - a .75ct G, SI1 in a stock Stuller setting and a .453 G, SI2 in a BGD Barbara setting. Love them both!
