My new pendant!!

[risingsun]

Thank you canuk-gal, Harleigh, MC and Stone Hunter. The visual appearance is larger looking than the ct size

It's just a fireball. I didn't take pics of prior pendant, Stone Hunter. I would have, had I been sure I was going for the upgrade. Until I walked into the store, I told myself I was just taking a "second look" at this pendant.

It''s beautiful! HOF may be overpriced, but you can''t argue with the beauty of the stones! They sparkle like mad! I love it!

Thank you Sundial, Tacori, Skippy, marcyc, Jelly, Diamond*Dana, snlee, monarch, ellen, and thing20f2

The specs are .53 ctw and it''s an I SI. It looks icy white IRL. When I saw it in the jeweler''s display case, I thought it was much bigger. I may upgrade, in the future, but this style gives a lot of bang for the buck

...that is HOF bucks

Are you sure?? It looks way bigger than that!

I know, I know

It''s the design. You should see the 1 ctw. It''s just huge

I had this one on and pointed to another pendant and asked how big it was. The SA said that it was the same size as mine. She suggested going to a .75, but I had to throw a net over myself

Risingsun what do you think made it look so much bigger? is it because of the halo?

 

[risingsun]

Thanks angeline and diamondfan. Kissmark, I do think it's the design of the halo and the ideal cut stones. The halo stones are tiny, but sparkle like crazy. My old pendant had a halo, but looked nothing like this one

Well I guess that "trade ins" just happen sometimes. I envy you that you have a jeweler nearby that will take your stuff in trade once you get tired of it. Actually I just envy you having a good local jeweler.

Sooooo pretty! I love it!

Thanks, posh...love your avi...looks like my cat, when she gets upset

Stonehunter, I live in an area that mainly has mall stores, so I do feel fortunate to have a good local jeweler. The lines he carries are current and lovely and he has a very generous trade-in policy. Between him and WF, I think I''m set

Thanks! We both have new pendants to enjoy

Do you sleep in yours? I'm not sure if I should or not. Any ideas?

Congrats on this beauty!

I have the same HOF necklace (1ctw) and also the matching earrings. They are one of my favourite pieces of jewelry!

Oh Marian it is just stunning!!! I too understand the lure of Hearts on Fire and trade-ins with your local jeweler. Their pieces may be overpriced, but they are always beautiful and these trade-ins can be hard to resist. Can you get a really detailed close-up shot of this beauty for us???

Edited to add: Is this the one with tiny diamonds around the center stone?

Yes, the very one. Actually, there are two versions, one has an airline and one doesn''t. Mine doesn''t.

I thought that it looked like the Fulfillment pendant - just gorgeous. My jeweler made me a similar pendant using the old diamond from my previous e-ring and I absolutely love it. It really makes for a much bigger visual presentation than a solitaire. Wear it in good health, but if it were me I wouldn''t sleep in that beauty.

Lovebling--I was looking at the matching earrings. They are stunning. Your 1 ct set is TDF

Maybe in a future upgrade, for me

Yes, it is the Fulfillment pendant. I won''t be lazy and I will take it off at night. Thanks for the good advice!!
