thanks for patronizing me guys, you're the best!

I went by another jewelry store tonight and tried this on, I'm sad that the pic isn't as fab as it is IRL, it sparkled like CRAZY and you could barely tell it was mde up of multiples diamonds, it was just so brilliant IRL:


there was also a cool diamond solitaire I may choose. I didn't think I wanted one until I saw the cool chain that came w/ this one.
Maybe you guys have seen this, the chain is adjustable, you just pull the ends through the clasp and there's little charm like things that dangle of the ends. So from the back, it's super cute.
I want something very simple, that why I like the COL so well, it's kind of basic. I am casual and like to wear my jewelry everyday, so it has to look as good w/ jeans and a tee as it does w/ a dress.

I really like this one, I can totally see it with jeans or dress....It's a nice size too, I'm afraid a COL pendant can be on the larger side (with not nearly as much sparkle) so with certain tops or outfits it may be awkward. I think something like this would work with just anything.

thanks! It was probably about the size of a dime, maybe a nickel in circumference{?}
It was really striking IRL.

We'll see. . . I overheard DH on the phone w/ our diamond broker in Houston this afternoon!:p
The diamond stud earring upgrade may be coming sooner than I thought!:choochoo:

okay, going to look at these few last suggestions. . .

DH and I just stoped by my favorite jewelry store and I wan't in love w/ any of their pendant selection, and they had a lot to choose from.

I told DH last night about my hesitation about the Circle of Life necklace and how common it is. He agreed saying he saw a Kay Jewelers commercial for COL's at $899 and was concerned as he knew I would prefer something a little more exclusive.
But, I noticed a HUGE difference in the 'common' Circle of Life that I see and the ones they carry. I tried one on that was just over 2 carats and it was SO gorgeous, VERY sparkly.
I think the one I keep seeing around are 1 carat or less.
DH is sold on this necklace after seeing it in person today and having me try a few different ones on.

The good news is that they also had a pair 2 carat tw diamond studs that he really liked:choochoo:

The store had one cross that I liked, it sparkled a lot like the COL pendant that we saw. . . so maybe I'll browse for some interesting crosses, a Celtic Cross could be cool :yes:

Swanky, tell your DH that I would like to go shopping with you both next time. THANKS! :jammin:

I LOVE the cluster of diamonds. I have a pair of earrings like that and they re stunning. Its a gorgeous design. I like the idea of a cross as well! There are so many unique ones out there and I think with some of the bracelets you have posted in the past a cross would look great on you!! Let us know what you get!! (P.S. I love 2 carat studs...PERFECT size!!)

My sister-in-law is slender and petite (5' 0", 95lbs?) and over the holidays I noticed her wearing a solitare diamond pendant (perhaps 1.25 carats?) on a platinum or white gold chain that was about 16" long. It looked simple and fabulous.

I'm substantially larger in every direction, and think something like that would get lost on me, but perhaps it might be something to consider for you? The great thing about a solitare is that it's something that's far more liquid and upgradeable than a designer piece like Coin's Circle of Life.
