Opinions wanted on Jewelry Purchase Please.....

[Scott4USC]

Hi, I am having a hard time deciding on what to get my Mom. I know she loves hearts so I chose to buy her a heart shaped diamond pendant. I have won a lot of money gambling so I want to give back to my Mom and surprise her with this outrageous expensive gift. Plus she quit her nursing job to raise me and then when I got accepted into USC, she went back to work to put me through college. (worked at USC hospital so I got free tuition) SO this is big thank you for that and for everything she done for me. Most of these items are about $500-$650 so the price is not really going to choose one item over the other. I have narrowed it down to these 6 items and it is killing me too choose one. I know my Mom would treasure whatever I get her even if it was just $20 item, but I want to make the best choice. So I would appreciate any opinions that could help me choose one over the other. Or maybe someone knows of a different Heart Shaped Diamond Pendant that I might prefer or a good online jewelry store. So hopefully I get some posters to participate in this thread and help me out. Thanks. :thumb:

Platinum Diamond Heart Pendant (1/2 ct. tw.)
This platinum open heart pendant features 22 brilliant, prong-set diamonds. Total diamond weight, 1/2 carat. $775 (however it is the most expensive of all of them)

As of right now I am leaning towards #6 so that is why I gave the description below it.

#1 is nice , as is #6

I would stay away from the ones that have the chain attached to the heart , because usually the necklace that comes with are cheesey IMO and you won't be able to change the chain.

Consider this also ............. The heart that you are choosing is very common. Everyone has that pendant...............I got a solid diamond heart with no opening in the middle (platnium) its been around my neck forever I LOVE IT because its different than everyone else's . The heart is smaller, but its still my favorite necklace.

If you have a Macy's near you try them when they are running sales you could also get an omega necklace and heart slide for a reasonable 500 to 700

good luck !!!! Your mom will be sooo happy, with whatever you choose.

Thanks for your replies. I think I narrowed it down to these 2 items. They are very similar but big difference in price. Item 1 looks the best to me but it is more expensive. Here are the 2 pics and descriptions. Maybe someone here knows something about diamonds etc. and explain is #1 is worth the extra money. Thanks again.
