First off, this community has been so unbelievably helpful - this forum was my bible when it came to figuring out what to get for an engagement ring, so thank you so so much! (went with a 3ct round cut diamond solitaire "tulip" ring from LM, which the (now) fiance loved!)
So now I'm thinking I'll get her an aquamarine necklace to give to her the night before the wedding for her to wear on the big day. Our wedding color is light blue, so thinking more on the blue-ish side. She likes simple (just like the ring) - so thinking large center stone with maybe a diamond halo - thinking probably round, oval or pear shaped. Was planning to go back to LM to have the pendant made, but if I find the perfect necklace ready made, all the better.
Just to give a sense of what I'm thinking, these are some examples that are currently my inspiration -

maybe something like this but with a larger center stone?

I think these two are very cool too, although probably leaning more toward ones like the first few. White gold/platinum prob makes more sense for a wedding necklace, huh?
First, I was wondering if y'all could suggest some vendors -- saw the huge list in the sticky, but was wondering if there were a handful that were especially good for this kind of stone/necklace?
Also of course, if you have any other suggestions for the necklace (e.g. size, chain, etc,), I'm all ears.
Thank you so much!
