Drama has caused me to choose a new necklace for my wedding dress..need help!

[Katie, John & Parker pup]

So the day I had picked out my wedding dress friend Jennifer and my Godmother came to try them on with me (since my mom and sister and grandmother live in Bermuda) and I found the perfect gown after trying on only 4 dresses (completely the opposite of what I had gone in for). When I was prancing around the store in the dress, my Godmother saw a necklace in their accessory case that might look nice with the gown so I tried it on and we ALLLLL loved it! Then when we asked how much it was ($400), I decided that was too scary of a price, but my Godmother insisted on buying it, saying it was her gift to me for my wedding day since it looked so perfect with the gown (this was the beginning of March 2011). In August (after my mom had been ill a couple months and stresses were high already, my Godmother decided to "have a stroke" as my mother really believes and go crazy for no reason at all. One day behind my back while she was talking to me about normal stuff, she called my fiance and told him I was selfish and told him all of these insane lies that I would never say or do (such as call her fat and tell her what she was allowed to eat and say awful things to her boyfriend [whom I like and got along with great)...NEVER in a million years would I dream of saying something like that to ANYONE, not even the nasty girls that bullied me in middle school and high school! I was going to ignore it thinking maybe she was just stressed about my mom being ill too and needed to vent and take something out on me because I was close, but then she started posting things on her facebook wall about me...I am no longer in high school and don't wish to go back to those days, so I asked her about what was going on and she told me that what she said was true (she was determined to believe this) and told me that I was going to regret doing what I did (didn't do anything) and basically told me to have a nice life and thanked me for ruining her 30 year friendship with my mom (which I again haven't and would never...). I cut communication with her because I wasn't going to argue and defend myself against things that never happened and thought it was completely inappropriate that she would call my fiance and say those things in the first place, but I have been respectful to her when it has come to my mom and give her updates when she has asked and whatnot...

Not thinking anything about my necklace, I didn't pick it up because the wedding store is far away and was just going to wait until it came in with my dress, so yesterday when I went to see my dress and get the flower girl fitted, I asked if I could have my necklace to try on with my dress and the girl came out and said "It is here (because they special ordered it) but the person that paid for it cancelled her credit card payment of it and wanted it "returned". So 6 months after she bought me a gift, she took it back and now I am stuck with the task of finding another perfect necklace! (My cousin offered her's but it is small and simple so just not as "statement-y" as I would like since the dress is so simple and it is strapless)

Here is a photo of the gown with the old perfect necklace (John never comes on here so he wont see this! lol)

and here are some choices I thought could be potentials from online:

Oh and this is my cousin's wedding necklace:

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions you have! I had to vent the story because I was so flustered yesterday when the visit to the wedding store brought all the drama back!

Clarification: My Godmother didn't legitimately/medically have a stroke...it is what my sick mother said when I told her how my Godmother was acting and the things she was saying about me...my mom is not in the same state of mind and she really believed that maybe my Godmother had a stroke at the time. I would have said she went "psycho (bad word)" but stroke was more polite. lol

Thank you all.  She is my sweet baby who is soon to have her first "sweet baby"!

What is it about a beautiful girl on her wedding day that always gives me goosebumps?!   I'm far from a romantic....as a little girl I never "dreamt" about my wedding day.....but it never fails to move me!   Lovely photos of a beautiful girl!

[Katie, John & Parker pup]

Great pictures! It does look nice with the simple, no necklace look! I just felt naked the other day when I tried my gown on without any jewelry!

Nancie, Your daughter is stunning and her dress is absolutely beautiful :)

I think I like the last link of the first set the best, the one from David's Bridal. But I also love the first.  Your dress is AMAZING. So pretty! This necklace has a flower that seems to look like the one on your dress....

That is a huge bummer about your Godmother. How weird and confusing! I think you are handling the situation with more maturity and restraint than most people would, it's very admirable. By the way, I love reading stuff about your wedding. More, more! :-)

[Katie, John & Parker pup]

Oh i actually really like the necklace with the flower that you found!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Also, I found this statement pearl necklace DIY that you may be interested in, if you aren't too busy for a DIY. You could choose a different chain and more subtle pearl colors, could be pretty.

You look just gorgeous in your dress. That necklace certainly is a stunner but I think all the options are truly beautiful.  The first is my favorite.  You will look beautiful on your special day and your fiance will not care one bit about any necklace.  Take a deep breath and try to get the joy back and let the stresses fall away.  Enjoy this time, it won't come again.

I agree with no necklace and focusing on earrings.  You are gorgeous, the dress is beautiful and you have beautiful skin.  I know statement jewelry is the "thing" right now, but I still think it is very classy to minimize for evening and wedding gowns. Let the focus be on your beauty, your face, and glow!

PS: Let Parker Pup be your bling!

[Katie, John & Parker pup]

lol thanks...Parker will be the highlight when he walks in in his tux I am sure! haha

My hopes are that you find a small,  delicate,  and feminine  necklace to show off YOUR beauty.   This is where something borrowed might just work   :)

[Katie, John & Parker pup]

Yah...there isn't anyone to borrow from...I had thought of that...the only borrow option is my cousin's wedding necklace and I just don't like hers lol. It was right for her and her wedding but it just is not my style.
