Do you wear them regularly????  No, I sort of go through phases. Right now, I'm living in the emerald ring. Here's the last one. I never wear it, for some reason... the tiny diamonds around the pearl are rose cuts... Thanks for looking, everybody! widget

I'm sure a gem expert could give you a better answer, but they are an cut that was more popular in the Deco era. Usually (?) square or rectangular in shape, and carry a lot more weight on top...(above the girdle). Lab...synthetic!

You mentioned finding an unheated Thai one in an old piece of jewelry a bit back. Valeria!!! Your memory!! Yes...here it is. It doesn't really qualify as an estate piece, but the stones are old, anyway! I now know the ruby is 1.45cts. The sides are .57cttw OECs...David at Diamonds by Lauren did it for me... Enough!

Florida, so I had an excuse), and it was mind boggling. Thousands of exhibitors, from all over the world. It was so incredible that one doesn't even need an excuse...it's worth the trip!
