Need Help Deciding on Diamond Pendants from WF?

[brendaman]

I''d like to get a diamond pendant (a b-day treat to myself) and am having trouble deciding which WF pendant. I''m considering between the Halo Bezel or the Tandem (3-stone) pendant. I''d like to get a 1/2 carat center stone. The Halo Bezel comes with their A-Cut-Above (ACA) stone, and I''m considering the Tandem with the ACA stone, also. The Tandem is sold with their "Expert Selection" diamond for much less at $795 vs. the Halo Bezel which is $490 w/out the ACA stone. I think I''m interpreting the prices correctly.

I have a small (0.25 cts) Tiffany bezel white gold pendant right now which I never take off, even in the shower. Is it worth it to spend $$$ on a ACA diamond pendant for daily use? Would these pendants be durable for daily use the way my Tiffany bezel has been?

I think both pendants would be gorgeous and would both be suitable for daily wear without problems because necklaces really don''t get bashed around. As for whether the ACA is worth it or not only you can decide, but their ES diamonds are gorgeous too, so I don''t think you can really go wrong. For the pendants where you pick your own stones (i.e., not a RSG pendant) can be upgraded in the future...which is a consideration.

Both are gorgeous but I prefer the bezel halo.

I''m not sure I would fork out for an ACA if there is another suitable stone? Do you have options? If you do buy the halo, the stone will compete with the sparkles and you could probably go with a lesser cut? I would nto be happy with that though, I would feel ripped off going semi custom and having a doo doo diamond.

But regarding the options they are wonderful choices...I wanted the bezel halo for ages but hated the $460 +.50 diamond cost. Personally, it was too much money for a small piece. I liked the tandem but felt it would neither be here nor there, not big enough for impact and not interesting enough to stand alone on design.

If I were you I would consider going for a very low colour K+ (ideally wth flour) ES/ACA whopper and dangle that around your neck...

For a pendant, I would go for an Expert Selection stone because, chances are, I would fall in love with the pendant and never want to trade up the diamond anyway. I like both of the styles you picked, but for a "wear everyday" look, I prefer the Tandem 3-stone.

Do you already have something more contemporary like the halo? If so, I''d go with the tandem for a more classic look.
If not, I''d personally pick the halo.

I prefer the halo bezel! But I just love halo''s!
