Well here's the antique oval halo ring I purchased off of eBay during a sleep deprived haze. See this thread for details of my freak out https://www.pricescope.com/communit...rived-can-be-hazardous-to-your-budget.194209/

Unfrotunately it's rainy and overcast right now so the photos aren't the greatest. So without further delay, here she is. I've named her Florence and I think I love her. I'm going to live with her for a bit before I give my opinion but I think I did well. For what I paid the finger coverage is amazing and she appears pretty white and I can't see any giant inclusions. Obviously I need to get her appraised and will do that soon. So here are the goods. Enjoy!

Hopefully tomorrow will be better weather and I'll take more photos.

Thanks everyone! I took her to the jeweler just to check to make sure everything is secure and while the prongs are definitely wonky and have had some re-tipping done, all is secure. It's a size 7.5 and I probably need a 6.75 or 7. But I'm just gonna live with it for now cause I don't want to give her up to get her sized for a little bit. We had about 3 minutes of sunshine today and I was in the car. So I snapped a few more iphone photos that show how bright she is.

So the sun was out today! Here's my last batch of photos. I know I've posted a bunch but I can't help it. She has this cool blue hue in some of the photos so I'm going to check for fluoro tonight at work. I really hope she has a little, I just love fluoro.

Stunning!! I love antique ovals, but I've never managed to source one of any significant size. Truly gorgeous!
