Now, take the picture Skippy posted and visualize the area where the halo is as WG, polished, with ribbon prongs.

What do you think??
keeping the diamond bale?
What is bale? Gosh, I am learning lots today

Ellen, I am the 20th! Our pick of birthstones includes blue zircon, aquarmarine, blue topaz, tanzanite and turqouise. Not sure if I am missing anything. Skippy, when is your bday? Ellen, being that close to the holidays stinks.

the 16th. I know, I wish we had one stone but at least it is blue; that is my favorite color.

That's weird, every one I look at shows Aquamarine as March.

Oh well.


And you know, as a kid, I didn't mind my birthday. My mom went out of her way to make my birthday seem like it could have been in any month, so that time of year seemed so magical and fun with so much going on.

But now, not so much. Hubby doesn't do as well as my mother, for the obvious reasons.

okay, i have been trying to get a good rendition of a plain settng but....well.....i suck at photoshop, so i got nuthin''.
i''m not saying this because i can''t photoshop (really) but i think the diamonds add just the little bit of pizazz to make it special. are you sure you don''t want some diamonds in thar?

I think aqua might be wrong, but the other three are correct, and lapiz too. A jeweler told me aqua was one (trying to sell me something?)...but we have a lot of choices!

Well, that''s the thing, he may not have been, as it USED to BE Dec''s. and it was the ONLY one. Somewhere along the way, somebody decided to change things. I have no idea why.

I scrapped them, as I just wanted a really plain pendant.



I''ll take it by no suggestions that all those in favor of "more" diamonds just wanted the halo then?

Thanks for all the input! It really helped to hear what everyone thought, it did help me figure out what''s best for me.

Just need to find someone to make it now.

I really just want something simple, that has pretty much always been my taste preference. That is me.

You have that beautiful ring from your mom. Also, your aqua, your earrings, that EC and I am sure you have a few more up your sleeve.

Sorry, chiming in late. I say keep it simple. Simple simple simple. SIMPLE. Hang it vertically in a pendant. No bags.

Ada, thanks for the suggestion, but I really like very simple. And it''s definitely going to be a pendant.

Oh my lord, that thing is just scary... I feel bad for the poor innocent asscher being eaten alive by all those nasty other diamonds. The baguettes *want* to help the asscher but they are simply overpowered at this point.

I would poll the usual suspects and go with the one that is most reasonable in terms of cost and turn around time. If anybody promises you the pendant for $5 and done in a day though I would run!
