Hi everyone,
Thanks again for all the help on choosing the diamond. We''ve been engaged for a month now (almost exactly) and it''s amazing how quickly the wedding plans are coming together for this summer.
With the wedding quickly coming, I''m trying to think of a nice gift to give her in the form of some jewelry. At first I thought it was going to be an easy pearl choker. James Allen has what appears to be a nice one with some pearls BUT she picked out the wedding dress, it''s a halter, and I''ve been told that pendants are better suited for halters. (someone please stop me here if that''s wrong)
So, with the three strand choker out of the running I''m thinking pendants. The budget is $500.00.
She has a 1/3 c princess cut pendant right now. One option would be to reset that in WG to match her e-ring and use the extra money to get a small pair of matching studs. I like this option because she ALWAYS wears that pendant and it''d be nice to have it better coordinate with her e-ring (and soon wedding ring). What I don''t like about this is I''m not sure if there''d be much left over for decent studs. She''s relatively petite... are 1/3 TCW studs embaressingly small?
Another option would be to stick with the pearl idea and do a pendant with maybe some nice diamond pave work. The great thing about this would be she could borrow some pearl studs from her mom for the ceremony and then that''d be the something borrowed. She likes her pedants falling close to the chain (nothing dangly). Here was one idea from Amazon. I''m just not sure how it would look in person or if it''s classic enough to match her ring. The idea is there though... pearl, diamond pave, holding close to the chain.
The third option would be a diamond pendant. The budget is too contrained for a solitaire, but a cluster might work? There''s always the flower cluster on White Flash with ACA diamonds. Hrm....
Please help.
