Hi I am the lucky owner of the ring Valeria posted photos of . It was made in platinum by Garry Holloway (Precious Metals in Melbourne Australia) and the diamond was from MDX. I needed a very sturdy ring with low set diamond, as it is rarely off my hand, but I wanted the stone to be the main feature... |

Hi Ruby, Nearly a year ago I purchased a loose diamond from Melbourne Diamiond Exchange (=Icestore Australia) who have offices in Melbourne. It was set by Garry Holloway (Precious Metals in Canterbury and Brighton). There were about 4 threads here which relate to my purchase. See: http://www.pricesc... |

LOL Firegoddes - I assumed whole lot was going in.  We have an ultrasonic cleaner at work (nearly 20 yrs old) and I guess the old ones didn''t come with much. Hubbie even added operating heavy machinery which vibrated (the mind boggles) was anoth...

Hi Matatora There may be a risk of damaging mechanical mechanisms (husband was advised not to play golf or tennis with his) and it may risk leakage internally if not a diving watch. For such expensive purchases IMO not worth the chance. |

DF & Websailor I dont post often, but felt I must respond. Ultasonic cleaning may possibly damage your Rolexes. My husband nearly fainted hearing this LOL. Not worth the risk. |

Hi Jade That EC looks heavenly. I adore east west settings. As a fan of simple design to showcase a stone, I love your current setting too, so enjoy it until it is reset. Congratualtions on your new house project too. Building is almost as much fun as diamonds. http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/imag... |

Answer is easy to verify: Try a light meter on the desk with the fluorescents on AT NIGHT (not even vague ight from closed blinds allowed), then try the on the desk on a cloudy day without the fluorescents on.

Welcome to Pricescope Bev. You will find a mass of information here and lots to drool over. In my opinion anything with a halo or pave has lots of "bling". There are lots of gorgeous ones here.

Hi Mrs Jam I was rolling around with laughter reading your post when my DH wanted to know what was up. I read out your post and he said he saw nothing funny in it at all. He thought a contract would have been a very good idea for me too. Some men just have no sense of humour when it comes to diamond... |

Hi Flower I keep going back to your bracelet. I just love it! I live in Melbourne and we have a Tiffany store here, but no Van Cleef. I suppose I don’t get to see many sparkly items as I lead a fairly quiet life now and attend few big parties or formal functions. Although my preference is usually fo... |

Hi everyone Any more new bracelets out there? I reread this thread and drool over all the pictures regularly. A tennis bracelet is at the top of my wish list, although my hubbie says it is going to be a couple of decades before I can purchase any more diamonds. http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/imag... |

Kmom and Mara, you have company. Thought I would never be at risk from losing mine and so never insured. This would be a horror story without insurance.  Laney, I hope the replacement process goes really smoothly. |
