which stone for a pendant

[Bella_mezzo]

So...I am in the market for a bezel pendant.

Here are my options:

.41 (4.7mm) K SI1 BGD H&A

.75 (5.6mm) G-H SI1 OEC/transitional

you know what the amazing BGD diamonds look like, here come the pics of the OEC/transitional...

what do you think? The OEC is about $200 more than the BGD, but I could probably make up some of that by selling the setting...

BGD will definitely perform and is more budget friendly

OEC is much bigger, and closer to my dream pendant but is at the very upper limit of my budget. Also, I'll have to deal with the hassle of returning it if it doesn't look so good in person.

Here''s my dream pendant, but that will have to wait for about 10 years

I would go with the BGD because you can upgrade later on if you wanted to. Save the trasitional until you can get your dream stone one day

that''s what I''m thinking too...plus, I just won an awesome 5 stone on ebay two minutes ago which means my diamond savings fund is exponentially shrinking...

, we''ll, I guess

for the shrinking but

for the five stone

I just talked to my hubby and we''re getting the BGD pendant and then I am cut off from jewelry purchases for the rest of the year (and maybe the next few years

So, I''ll be back with pics when the pendant is done
