My new OEC pendant

[absolutme77]

I posted in RockyTalky when I bought my OEC. It is .51, GIA M, VS 1 OEC. I wasn't entirely sure what to do with it and received advice to bezel it, specifically milgrain but that was a bit out of my price range. My local jeweler suggested a full bezel might dwarf the diamond and so he placed it in a Stuller half bezel. We made a slight variation as I had a a few project diamonds around. I think the final product is great for an everyday pendant. It's understated and yet has a presence too.

This is the original diamond:

And here are my (not so great) pictures of it until I can grab my camera to take some decent ones.

Just LOVELY! The half bezel and the diamond at the top really allow the main stone to POP.
