@sd_flp Aww thank you. You made my day. I swoon over yours as well! You have different cuts and I love variety. I adore your bezel ring as well as that scrumptious OMC you just got! :love: I may need another one as I had an OMC once and sold it. Wasn’t sure about the square look and it’s was too large looking for my lifestyle.

My pleasure and thank you! =)2:kiss2: I was actually going to add that I’m jealous of your French cut band, but I didn’t want to stray too off-topic! :lol:

I loooooovvvveeee my OMC. I wasn’t sure about it either as I’ve seen some not so good cuts, but this one blew me away the moment I opened it. In case you want one, Starsgem makes a great OMC if you want to save some money. ;-) Although I might be inspired to get one from AV down the road. :twisted2:

@sd_flp Haha. Funny you should say that...I screenshot your contact person just in case I want to order another. Yours is gorgeous. Mine was from Schubachs and beautiful too (it’s posted in here here somewhere) but idk...I highly recommend the AVs of course. I’ve had some poorly cut oecs and these are perfect.
Yes, the frenchie is gorgeous. I love it and wear it Alll. The. Time. So well worth the expense.

@Sandeek I was very impressed with Starsgem and my rep. More than Tianyu actually, although I know there are more Tianyu fans than Starsgem. Anyway, I’ll have to look for that OMC you once had because now I’m curious. I hope you get it again. I love mine and I don’t see enough of them around here! :love:

@Mamabean As per your kind request here is the AVR I bought preloved. I love it. It’s 8.5mm, color G/H custom cut. I am not sure what I will do with it yet. :lol:

ETA Mamabean we were posting at the same time! Lol

They’re both beautiful! I can’t wait to see what you do with it! I purchased an OEC from Tianyu..It’s very pretty but was wondering how it compared to the AV. I also got one from GoldenBird..I may get a 8.5mm Hearts and Arrows from AV. I’m trying to get photos of people that have them already. I think @MakingTheGrade has one?

I’ll add it here since I can’t find the post now either. It was an 8.5mm and got a lot of attention...3+ carats where as I can easily wear 8.5 in a round. :doh:
Thank you for the recommendation!

WOW!!! Love that bezel. :love: Sorry, I'll need to steal your photo for possible setting ideas...hope you don't mind... :saint:

@Mamabean You should totally get the colorless H&A from AV...I love mine so much. I've been wearing it much more than my Tianyu ring these days. ;-)

Check out the one Lovedogs got! It’s on her tension set thread. It’s AMAZING and she compares it to her Diamelia and CBI diamond :kiss2:

And if you ever decide to sell “wonky”, I’m first in line :lol:

I made a post but I thought I’d add a little something here too. I bought a 7.5mm G/H (looks like an F) AV MRB preloved on LT and set it in a custom rose gold halo my local jeweler made for me. I’ve never worn a halo before and it feels like a little too much. Anyone with that experience? I tried some on in store but they all had smaller center stones and were much larger than my size 4 so I couldn’t get a good feel. 4C49B560-998E-4FDA-AEFE-B0FF1D11BE89.jpeg

LOL, I wish that 20% off coupon would go away. I've been wanting a GH/IJK OEC but I'm trying to be good. :lol::roll: Already have one ring on the way and another project, I can't keep spending like this! :knockout:

So....has anyone bought the moissy asscher yet? :lol-2:

I got to see a nice Asscher CZ at Swarovski while vacationing so now I’m intrigued. I still think I like the emerald cut better, though. Hmmm... :kiss2:

A few pics of the AV three stone ring I just received. It looks beautiful in person :love:

That is seriously gorgeous!

The side view and main stone are to die for. Are all 3 stones ACC moissanites from him or are the side stones round brilliant cut? Who created the ring?

Thank you! The sides are 4mm AV OEC moissanites and the center is 8.5mm. The ring is also from AV and is called the AV Truffle =)2

Is the center stone 8.5x8.5mm or something else? It looks slightly elongated.

I’m so tempted to get an 8mm Asscher since I already have the setting for it. But I should really sell some things so that I don’t become a hoarder. Spring cleaning after I come back from vacation!

I’m also tempted to get 5 5mm ones to make a band..

Ooooh! I LOVE my emerald cut..It is so pretty..Take advantage of the 20%...I don’t know if they’re going to change it for Mother’s Day. The sale was still up from Valentines Day last time I looked. I just bought the hearts and arrows after seeing yours. It’s getting shipped to David probably next week!
