My new little pretty.
I've always wanted a bezel set solitaire....in 18k yellow gold AND platinum. I really like both. This was supposed to be in the 'wow, I got a bargain!' category, though, so 18k yellow gold it is.
Diamond Specs: GIA Excellent cut, Excellent polish, Excellent symmetry Color: E Clarity: SI2 Carat: .42 I've never owned an SI stone before, so I was a bit nervous. However, it was a bezel setting, and Blue Nile offers a 30 day return policy. I have sharp eyes, and I can't see anything from any angle, unaided. I pulled out a 10x magnifying glass and hunted around. With that, I could see the inclusions--all clear/white, and not too bad. The necklace is very beautiful, and I'm thrilled. The price was amazing for the quality. Re: E stones in yellow gold.... The whiteness of the stone is very obvious, even against the yellow gold, and there is such a beautiful, stark contrast. I've put them next to my E color engagement ring, and E color studs, ( E is my sweet spot) in different lighting. In some light, they look identical, and in other lights, the gold reflects and makes the necklace stone look a tad more....gold. The bezel is open in the back, so it really all depends on the light. All in all, I love it it! I've included a pic with my E color studs for comparison, (if you're a diamond geek like me--I get into this stuff) but I don't think my non pro camera really shows the true appearance. Enjoy! |

It's beautiful! I'd love to see a modeling shot to see how the size looks when worn, as I've been wanting a bezel pendant as well.

Very pretty!!! I've suddenly become a diamond geek too
 but it's kind of fun! I was replacing my wedding set and curled up in bed for a week every night with computer, diamond grading papers and Tiffany's research and loved it!!

That is a beautiful set. I love the bezel... Makes me think I should bezel set a few stones I've been designing... It makes the stone look so much larger!
