PICTURES of My New VINTAGE WEDDING SET!! 40''s 50''s style!! Illusion Setting!!!

[jewelgal]

I love my new wedding set.  Not sure if it''s from the 40''s or 50''s... if anyone could tell me...

This is 1/2 carat total weight and the diamonds are Mega White in color and full of life!  This set outshined all of the diamonds i saw today
even under the best "diamond lights" at the jewelers!! 

I had it resized and my jeweler added a ton of gold to the bottom and made it thicker, basically a whole new ring!!  (he only charged me
$55 for both rings!!!)  He also polished it up making it sparkle even more than before! 

The funny thing is, I''m in the market for a new diamond ($8k budget)
and i got this set for under $325  (including resizing) and it is my Favorite
look so far!  It makes me very happy to look at it and have a very white look and sparkle! I always wanted a matching set!  HHmmm $8 thousand dollars VS $325.00 - no comparison, right?

TELL ME WHAT U THINK ABOUT MY SET!!

Sharp looking set, JewelGal. Fits your hand quite nicely. Nice hands, too.

It looks like 50's to me.

I LOVE IT~! It reminds me of my mothers first wedding set. I was so upset when she traded it in. I would love to have her original set.

I think Rich Sherwood is right in the 50's look of the set. Post WWII probably. The center has an illusion setting and the sides are bead set. Probably die struck components. These were made for decades and still can be found in some catalogs. They make a small diamond look a lot larger and protect the edges of the diamonds at the same time. Many people wore sets like these their entire married life and would not trade it for a larger diamond ring for any reason. Long term, true happiness comes from within and not from external, material things. If you love it, then that's what's right for you.




Of course, we specialize in solving the problems of getting happy with the aid of material stuff, like big diamonds. Thankfully, this plan seems to work very well for a lot of consumers or we'd be toast......
