Yeh you could replace the chain I guess... But that doesn't solve the problem of an anniversary present! =D
This is where you replace the chain, AND give her something else ;)

(unless you're getting the pink heart crystal and it's nicer then the old one)

wow that pendant is really nice!

but heres what i reckon, pinch the heart u gave her without her knowing.... replace with a chain she isnt allergic 2... a nice one... they can be expsensive so it should count as a real present

or u could just get the pendant, its real nice, i like and either keep the nylon.. doesnt look 2 bad but it would look better with a more traditional looking chain like gold chain, the gold/silver snake weave one or even a string you make yourself to make it look more..classical

Haha yeh the crystal one looks way better. My old one was sort of a cheapo one lol.

*cries*

I don't like two-tone chains. That being said one of my close friends does, so it's very much an individual thing.

That being said - trying to be objective - I think anything other than a fine, simple chain would detract from the pink heart pendant. When you're dealing with fine details - like high-quality stone cutting - you don't want to have something "strong" like a multiple-tone/chunky chain detracting from that fine detail.

Thanks for the advice. But too bad she's allergic to non-pure gold/silver jewellery :(. That's why I thought crystal would be good.


Heh. So what do you think I should get as a present?
All girls say that, my last girl was allergic to semi precious stones.

Thanks, I shall take that into account when I go shopping for the present this week :D.

Actually, a fair number of people ARE allergic to nickel (like me!) and hence can't wear anything other than pure gold or pure sterling silver overnight. I doubt they'd actually be allergic to the stone itself, but they *could* definately be allergic to the metal setting.

Any girl who says she "can't wear semi-precious stones" obviously wants the real deal. If she's extra pushy, just buy her a well-cut Cubic Zirconia - only a professional jeweller armed with a magnifying glass and light will be able to tell the difference :p

I would be buying her something made of like 18kt gold, or maybe white gold whatever she likes ... how about some really nice gems such as sapphire? ambeR?

this may sound corny and gay, but in year 10 i didnt choose a sport. and all was left was
lapidary -.-" [stone shaping and thing..] turned out to be quite good actually. i made a pendant out of Agate[really tough nice looking crystal] and i kept it till i met this gurl..

i gave it to her only if she could solve something =p. which was incredibly hard because i made it up. but what the fudge she solved it in 2 weeks. so i gave it to her as a present =p

she is now my girlfriend and we are really happy together. if only i could make her mine forever ..

Hi! Just in case you guys were wondering, I went to Swarovski today to have a look at the pendant in real-life --- suffice to say, I did not get it, everyone was right about the nylon cord thing, it looked REALLY cheap! And soooo I went to other places and finally bought this really cool 9ct white gold necklace from Goldmark instead ^_^ It's really nice too! So yes dilemma solved, thanks everyone! You guys are great :D.
