I wanted to share a couple of photos since I couldn't find anything like this when I started this project!

I've been wanting a bezel pendant for a long time and obsessively stalked preloved/LT/DB/eBay for months trying to find just the right option - I was very picky about both the stone and the setting and I'm sure I drove several people crazy with questions and returns on pieces that weren't quite right.

I finally realized I needed to go new to get what I really wanted, and contacted JbG and David Klass. I never heard back from David, which made that part of the decision extra easy :)

Grace at JbG was extraordinarily patient with me and found me several lovely 5-6mm options within my modest budget - she and armywife here both gave great feedback on both the setting and the stone, and within a few weeks I pulled the trigger.

The stone is an uncerted .65ct estimated K/L SI1. I was nervous about the color but if anything it faces up whiter than my somewhat larger J e-ring center. It is a really lovely stone (glamour shot from JbG attached).

The setting is a delicate 14k white gold sliding bezel with milgrain with open back. It does not flip or tip down at all as far as I can tell. I'm attaching a photo of the back too - I originally wanted a Barbara style pendant but this one, if slightly less delicate, seems to keep it in position much better.

The chain is a lovely pink 14k rose gold Tiffany style. I love the mix of metals and floating effect!

And finally a perspective shot, since I found those so helpful when deciding on a size!

I am totally in love with it and have only taken it off to shower and sleep :)

Awww, thanks for all the sweet comments! You know how to make a gal feel good :)

I'll try to get some better photos for detail shots with the real camera instead of my iPhone later today. I'm not sure on the dimensions of the stone - it's visibly smaller than my .95, which is 6.1mm, and visibly bigger than my 5mm studs. Grace sent me the specs on many of the stones I was looking at, but I just checked, and I never got the exact dimensions on this one. My best guess is ~5.5mm. It looks a lot more substantial than I expected.

The side of the bezel is totally smooth and straight, no embellishment at all - it's very clean looking.
