I recently got a bug to upgrade my pendant. I bought a .305 bezel set pendant in February of last year, but it kept rolling and as a result I never wore it. The diamond is beautiful and I think I will get another similar size stone and reset it in a pair of earrings. I had planned on just changing the setting to a three prong, but I looked on the WF website and thought, do you really want to change the setting now and upgrade later this year? Well, clearly I decided I didn''t want to do that. They had two stones in the .60ct size and I called Bob and asked his opinion on them. He said that this would be his pick and I went with his judgement. Thanks Bob! : ) I know the .60 are hard to find so I wanted to jump on it. I had planned the three prong pendant, but I also like the symmetry of the 4 prong, plus the 4 prong meant that they could do it in a matter of days. I sent my "proceed" email and faxed my CC authorization over on Wednesday at about noon EST. I picked it up from Fedex the following Friday morning. How is that for quick!!

The pendant is stunning. I also like how the .598 is still bigger in diameter than the .30 in the bezel setting. I doubled carat weight and went up substantially from a visible perspective.

Specs:

I absolutely cannot tell a difference in colour between the G and the I. Both are beautifully white to my eyes - lucky me!

I have a bunch of pictures to follow. Thanks again to Whiteflash, especially Bob Hoskins. A pleasure to work with you again!

I wish you well,

Bridget

It is beautiful Bridget! Nice upgrade.
 
I love it Bridget!!

I love that comparison picture with the bezel, I noticed two things, one is that the bezel really makes the stone look bigger because to me there was not that much difference visually between the two, and two that the lighting you were using in that picture just made both stones almost GLOW! Very beautiful and I love the setting!!!
 
Thanks guys! Mara, The picture with the two of them was taken outside in sunlight, but not direct sunlight.

I thought the same thing -- the bezel really makes the smaller stone look bigger.
 
It''s beautiful, Bridget!

I think that is one of the stones that I was eyeballing at Whiteflash. I keep my eye on their .60c stones b/c that is the size that I will need to put into my mom''s setting that I had re-done.

Great find! I think it has really good spread for a .60c stone.
 
Love it!!

Me too! Too bad the bezel flips because it does make the diamond look huge.

Beautiful! Congrats!
 
That''s a very lovely pendant! Anything to showcase a diamond is A-OK with me!
 
Its beautiful, Bridget! Great choice!
 
Bloody hell!

What are you doing to me? I am supposed to be in ''recovery'' and ''just looking'' these days.

I absolutely love your necklace, and the purply facets are a WOW!

If that was around my neck, I would never be away from the mirror!!! LOL

Enjoy!
