I like the bezel pendant at BN best. I don''t love the bracelet, though.

Lovin'' the blue nile stuff! I am not a bracelet gal, but the bezel is modern and pretty.

The pendant is gorgeous! That''s the winner, for sure.

Love the pendant! Definitely my favorite. (I''m a bargain hunter, and not sure if you know about the rebate sites - www.mrrebates.com and www.ebates both ofer 3% back for Blue Nile ... those little bits will add up after a bit of online shopping!)

I like the BN pendant best but don''t like the bracelet. Sorry...

I love the BN bezel pendant, but not the bracelet. I prefer the BN pendant to the Angara one. Any way the BN pendant comes in wg instead of the silver?

Thanks, I was wondering why the return key wasn''t working for that...

I called BN and they said there was no way I could get wg, HOWEVER, I called Angara and told them about the BN one, and they said now they can do it in wg with the amethyst bezel. So now I have a dilemma since it''s a few dollars over budget!

Hi,

The Angara pendant looks very pretty and classic. I ordered the BN Bezel amethyst last week and got it on Wed. and am planning to return it. The style is pretty, but the bezel is so clunky from the side view. I guess it''s just not my style as I like thinner bezels. . .

I''m already hunting around for another Amethyst pendant and found one I liked at a local B&M where the color is a lot more intense than the BN stone, which IMO seems a bit pale.

Hey thanks for sharing that. How was the cut of the amethyst at BN? Decent?

I am in touch with Angara now since they said they can make the BN one in wg. They said they can send me some pics of the amethyst so I know what I''ll be getting. I''ll post them here once I get them and ask you all what you think. I know it''s not going to be a Jeff White or Richard Homer, but all I''m hoping for is decent!
