Confession #2 (somethin'' about an OEC)

[MommaBear]

As some of you know, I originally wanted an OMC/OEC for my Ering.
I ended getting a modern cut for the Ering but was on the hunt for an OMC/OEC for a right hand ring..
When I went to Mulloys to order my wedding bands, I saw something that I walked away from.
BUT... 2 hours later, I walked back to it

Introducing my early 1920's OEC!
It's estimated to be about 1.3 ctw. and H in color. Clarity VVS1
I've had Singlestone look at it and they came up with basically the same findings.
Won't know for sure until I take it out of it's setting and send it GIA.
It is in it's original setting. The setting shows years of wear on it, which I love!

ENOUGH.. let's get to the goods!

 

[MommaBear]

here are some profile shots so you can see how old the setting is.
I love that the wedding band had ''carved'' itself into the Ering setting

I love the ''octagon'' like shape the bezel gives the diamond.

 

[MommaBear]

I beleive the setting is white gold.
The diamond faces up Very white

westjenn Thanks!
I didn''t think i wanted a filigree mounting but it''s so delicate and feminine; I''m not sure I want another setting for it

I''m not sure what i want to do anymore!!
when i first bought it, I thought RESET!
but it''s grown on me
If i keep the setting, i''m definitely going to have work done to it..
the bottom of the band is worn sooo thin that it''s like a dull knifes edge!!
I''ll try to post a pic of it. I''m charging the camera battery
