Help the Swirl Girl!!!!!

[Blue824]

FFF, did you end up ordering the swirl necklace off of diamond.com? Today I was at a local jeweler and they had one and it was about the size i picture the diamond.com one being and so I asked the price, they wanted $595 for it! I think the only difference from the diamond.com one was the clarity was slightly higher, si1 maybe? So I just smiled politely and just went back to waiting for what they were fixing, but it was really cute, but I could see getting a lot of every day use out of it, so I was just wondering if the diamond.com one was cute in person. Its only $100ish so not a big deal, but figured I''d ask before I decided to order or not.

Thanks for starting this thread. I have been looking for a cute diamond pendant, something a bit trendy but classic enough to wear everyday. I like the whole circle look okay but I am really liking these swirl alternatives you''ve posted.

I saw a a 3-circle pendant at a department store a couple months ago that I really liked which was on clearance but I didn''t ask to see it and now it''s gone and I regret not doing so. It wasn''t the more common circles inside each other style but 3 small graduated (from smallest to largest, which was still fairly small) circles that I think may have even been intertwined - vertically in a row. I have found similar but nothing that really made me take notice like the one I saw. Anyone have anything similar they could share?

I''m going to try to post the 2 most similar designs I''ve found on the web.

Blue- I didn''t order it because my b-day is coming up in Sept & my BF needed an inexpensive gift option, so that''s the direction I steered him in. $595 vs $115: for a fun little piece like this I bet the lower clarity will work just fine for me! If I do get it I''ll be sure to let you know what I think.

I saw a pair of earrings at my jeweler''s this weekend that were to die for and I thought of this thread. They were huge--almost like a quarter diameter...E-F, VS stones-amazing...imagine a 7 stone flower cluster with a swirl of glistening baguettes around the flower, and aorund that a swirl of small RBs... on french backs hanging from your ears.

I am taking a picture when I go back Saturday and leaving copies in my husband''s briefcase, his bathroom, his sock drawer...I have to have something for Christmas!

 

[Blue824]

Jenn, I can''t wait to see those pictures, the description sounds interesting. I''m sure it is beautiful, I trust your judgement at this point

Those James Allen ones are great! But I sort of like the smaller swirl better because the chain goes through the pendant instead of hanging off of a seperate link, for some reason that changes it for me. Yeah, I''ll probably end up ordering it, I''ve done too much summer sale shopping so I''m going to wait until after my birthday, maybe someone will read my mind and get it for me

 

[MissAva]

These are fun...dangly earrings are so cute at night!

 

[tat2db]
