My parents gave me a budget to buy jewelry as wedding gift for me. After a long search, I managed to get a pendant + chain and a pair of earring studs within the budget.

Main diamond is from OWD. Adam is extremely patient and helpful and immediately understand what I was looking for. According to him, the center diamond is 0.45ct OEC G/H Color & VS Clarity.

I went to Geoffrey's Diamonds at San Carlos, CA (Bay Area) and initially wanted to set it in a standard Stuller setting. They ordered a few settings in for me but I wasn't wowed by it. I did more research and was inspired by one of the Beverly K Halo pendant. I contacted 3 vendors commonly found here on PS. One didn't respond with a quote after 3 weeks. The other two quotes were much higher than my budget. I went back to Geoffrey and this time, I got to talk to Geoffrey himself. Geoffrey is da BOMB! He offered to custom for me after the supplier of his pendant refuse to do the custom setting and quoted me an unbelievable price (1/3 of other vendors)!!! They just offer awesome customer service!! Everytime when I am there, they offered to clean my rings and check to ensure that my micropave and prongs are not loose. My friend went with me today to pick up the pendant and she got her ring rhodium plated for free!

I totally recommend both Adam (Old World Diamonds) and Geoffrey's Diamonds!!

Here is the OWD stone to start with (by the way, Geoffrey thinks that it's a transitional... what do you guys think??):

ETA: Sorry!! Didn't expect the picture to be so big!!

Here is the Beverly K Halo Pendant which inspired my piece:

Here''s what Geoffrey did for me.

The top two are single cuts - G/H color with SI1 clarity, 0.085 CTW.

That is gorgeous, GoodSoul. Lucky you!
 
I just told Geoffrey that I wanted two single cuts, top bigger than the bottom. I didn''t tell him about the size or proportion and left him to decide on everything. A week later, the pendant is DONE! I am very pleased with it.

Thanks to all for your kind comments!

I've Pityriasis Rosea (skin rash) for the last 2 weeks and my neck is horrible at this stage. I can only post the greyscale pictures to spare you guys from the horrible sight. I'm trying hard to deal with it as mine was atypical case (since my face was affected as well) I only hope that it'll be gone before my wedding in early July. Both the Doc and Dermatologist said that there is no cure and will go away in 6-8 weeks (some cases may take months

).

Anyhow, here's one from far.

Sorry to hear about the rash, hope it goes away before the wedding
 
It looks beautiful on you and it looks pretty big as well for a .45!! I''ll cross my fingers for you that your skin gets better before the big day.
