Hi everybody,
I am planning to buy a solitaire diamond pendant for my wife for Christmas. A google search led me to Pricescope and it is amazing, what I have learnt in the past three days. Thank you so much Pricescopers.
After all the research I have decided to buy the diamond online from one of the following two dealers.
1. White flash (WF)
2. Brian Gavin (BG)
I have decided on a three prong Martini setting with a floating chain design. Also I have selected three diamonds, one from WF, and two from BG. I would be grateful for help/ advise with the following questions.
1. Is it better to have a sliding stone or a fixed stone? I have not been able to see any pictures of a three prong setting with a sliding chain (floating design). Most forum answers seem to indicate that the sliding pendant is more likely to remain centered on the neck.
2. Is it better to have a regular chain or a snake chain? Will it be possible for the snake chain to go behind the diamond without it looking very big. My wife prefers the chain to be as fine as possible. Somehow I felt that a snake chain would better be able to prevent the diamond from flipping.
3. Help me decide the best stone from the following three (WF, BG-A & BG-B) My research seems to indicate that the BG-A would be the best for the pendant, but my research and expereince is based on three days of reading the price scope forums.
