It''s been awhile since I''ve been on PS, but I just had to come and share pics of my new Whiteflash pendant!

Last year, I''d been browsing posts about bezel pendants (posts by kcoursolle, mara, and tandogmom come to mind) and just knew I had to get one. I was going to go with Blue Nile after seeing kcoursolle''s lovely pendant (also thinking I''d save some money). I started researching after I got an e-mail for $100 off a diamond from BlueNile. Surprisingly, the price of the bezel setting had gone up almost 2x as much as it was last year (from what I remember)! So, I decided to e-mail Whiteflash and see what they had. They were able to get me a stock Stuller setting (like the BN setting) for less $$ than their own stock bezel setting. The setting plus the ACA I bought actually ended up costing less than it would have been going with BN (even with the coupon)! I was extremely happy to go with Whiteflash, at a less expensive price, and getting an ACA to boot.

I worked with Chris, who was very helpful and prompt in responding. In fact, everyone I talked to/e-mailed from Whiteflash was very helpful and responsive.

Anyway... on to the pics (sorry, my camera isn''t the best). I asked them to thin out the bezel as much as possible, but I''m not sure if they could get it much thinner, since it''s a very small setting. When I received the pics, I thought "HOLY MOLY, that bezel is YOOGE!". But then I realized it was highly magnified (ha ha).

The diamond is a 0.321 ACA, I SI1.

I couldn''t get any great closeups of it (it''s so cute and tiny!) -- this was the best I could get (I believe it was kcoursolle''s post that gave me the idea!).

I am so glad that my posts were a help! I love your new pendant! It looks truly great. I did end up with the martini pendant after MUCH thought and debate, but I know I would have been equally thrilled with a bezel. Would love to have one of each, ha ha! It is great that you were able to save money over BN and get an ACA too! Enjoy it!!!!!
 
love solitare bezels, my favorite way to set a pendant. Looks wonderful on you. congrats.

congrats, it''s just beautiful!
 
wow!! gorgeous pendant! classic!
 
Your pendant is lovey and I think that it is great that you were able to get a stone through WF. It also helps they were able to work within your budget. Enjoy!!
 
beautiful! i want one now!
 
Elsie, that looks perfect on you! Beautiful!!!
 
Wow...it looks gorgeous! I love that Stuller setting and that ACA is to die for!! YUM YUM!

Congrats!
 
It''s stunning!!! It looks like we could be pendant twins! How wonderful WF was able to get creative and you could purchase with them. Their ACA''s are hard to beat! I should look into these stuller settings more, they look pretty well made and affordable!
 
Very pretty.

Whiteflash did a great job with it the pendant (I love them too, SDLady... and your pretty martini too!), and it is indeed a classic, beautiful piece and I love the ACA. I don''t know how I ever "survived" without it before!

TanDogMom: yes, your posts really helped (it was like you were having the decision debate for me!). The martini setting is beautiful as well, and it''s possible I would have picked that if I had bought a bigger stone (big plus about the bezel is that it makes the 0.321 ct look as big as my 0.5 princess!). I saw on your other thread (with that beautiful blue sapphire!) that you got a new camera... any chances we''ll see more pics of your martini pendant?

kcoursolle: yeah, I thought it was pretty cool how our pendants look so alike (maybe BN also uses the Stuller setting? Hmm... probably not, since the bezel backs look different). I''d definitely ask WF about the Stuller settings if you''re interested in the future. I guess they have other "in-stock" choices that aren''t listed on their website!
 
it is soooo pretty! i''m jealous...
