Jewelry is always going to be a very personal experience and when I wanted to give my wife something special, I needed a solution that was going to really surprise her. She is particular about the type of jewelry she actually lies, especially gems so I had to go with aquamarine since it is one of the few stones she likes. I got her this 8mm heart shaped aquamarine and diamond pendant because I knew she liked white gold and the stone featured in this piece. The nice thing is, the aquamarine is a lab created stone, but that actually enhances the color so she did not have to settle for a pale look just because I didn’t have thousands to shell out getting this for her. For $200 I got a very nice gift of diamonds with an S1 clarity in the round shape she prefers. They looked great to me so I was actually happy about giving this to her and the fact that the piece came with a life time warranty sealed the deal for me. Now you want to keep in mind that this comes with a chain, but it is 14k gold and that may not be what you want since a lot of people I talked to felt that silver was stronger and would hold up longer. I gave her the option and she chose to keep the chain it came with, but that may be different for you. The quality of this piece is high and it really is beautiful so I say for the price you can not go wrong.
