A.Link has really pretty ones. The one I like is super long (opera length) and comes apart to make 2 short necklaces or a short necklace and two bracelets.

THanks guys! Believe it or not, my brother and i NEVER got along...we are just VERY different people, we love each other - just dont mesh well. But when my dad unexpectedly passed away in 01 he started taking over the business and sort of taking over his roll in life... and now that i am getting married ive discovered a whole new side of my brother! it's so awesome and i honestly can say i am more excited over that than my wedding because he means the world to me!!! he is always there to protect me and ever since i was little he has made sure i get things i want! lol
i still remember in fifth grade i wanted a cd player with a remote for my room....mind you 200 bucks at that time was A LOT for my family, but my brother somehow talked my dad into it!!! best xmas ever! even better then the tiffany's, rado or whatever else i get/will ever get in my life!!!
thanks guys!!!
********UPDATE:**********
My family got me a 17 inch necklace that is 14 carats I believe...! so excited! It is not graduated, so it is the same stones all the way around!! the stones are g/h i believe and mostly vvs2! And it is set in a prong setting!!!
i feel like i just gave birth and told you the stats of my baby! LOL!!!
i cant wait to see it in india!!!!!!!! but now its time to find a pearl set...lol after all every girl should have "diamonds and pearls"

This is mine.. it is all Venus cut diamonds matched in color and flawless. My husband built it over the years collecting them. It's a priceless work of art for me. He just recently gave me the matching earrings and tennis bracelet for it Sorry it has smudges, I wiped it but I think I only succeeded in spreading the oil everywhere

Which would you choose?
10 carat diamond riviera necklace SI clarity, F-G color, center stone is .5 carat.
-OR-
18 carat diamond invisible setting necklace, VS clarity, F-G color, all are little diamonds set invisibly to look larger (so center diamond looks 2ct)
The 18 carat is about twice the price of the 10 carat.
And why? Also considering investment value of the pieces. I would think that the one with larger diamonds hold value better, but the invisible setting sparkles like mad.
I plan to wear this mainly for special occasions. Any thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I would go with 10K for sure! IMO many diamonds put together to look big actually ends up under valuing the piece just IMO though....
Tough call-I think they are both lovely! The 18 carat definitely has a bolder look, and the 10 carat is more understated and simple (if that is possible!)
I guess it depends on which look you are going for.
What kind of earrings and other jewelry are you planning on wearing the necklace with? That should be a consideration, too.
