Most of you will know that I'm a big fan of star stones. Now I've got a (sort of) star diamond. In normal lighting (top pic), the stone looks like a very yellow-brown diamond with an X-shaped inclusion cloud. The magic comes when it's lit from the side with a flashlight - the X glows (middle...

If you search my name on PS, there are about 6 or 8 (maybe more) threads I've started over the years about French cut bands - I have wanted one since 2010! I have looked at new, at custom, at antique, at vintage, and latterly, lab. Finally, 14 years on, I have it! Alex Park posted a parcel of...

I am beyond thrilled to share my dream engagement ring with this community! It has been several years in the making with great help from all of you. I have been on PriceScope for 8 years now and want to take a moment to thank everyone who contributed on this forum, especially to everyone who...

So this story begins last autumn although I didn't really know it back then, but you could say that's where the roots are. Because if that hadn't happened, this ring wouldn't exist today either. Last autumn a beautiful spessartite pendant belonging to a fellow PSer was in search of a new home...

I've recently become intrigued with Marquise cut diamonds. I currently only own round cut diamonds- so the "change of scenery" is appealing to me! I purchased a vintage platinum ring with bonus ring guard :). It is an approx. 1.3 carat diamond- described as F/G VS1 or better. It is incredibly...

As many of you already know, I have been searching for my perfect Moval for a very long time. The journey was long and filled with a bit of drama but it was all worth it. It feels so surreal to final have this on my finger! I was originally searching for something a bit larger but when this...

So…I guess my husband didn’t get the memo that I am on Ban Island. Gifts are not against the B.I. rules, right? :lol-2: He gifted me my very first emerald project and I have been obsessed with the green gems ever since! He knows that I have been searching for a bigger emerald to commemorate an...

I’m so excited to show you the latest piece to join my collection — the large Etoile bangle from Briony Raymond. This is a celebratory piece to mark a wedding anniversary. I struggled to decide what would be best for this occasion. My husband urged me to choose a piece that would be easy to...

PS made me do it: I built up a collection of old cut diamonds, and I still desired another ring, with an old mine cut in a diamond encrusted setting. More diamonds are just what everyone needs, right? I am a male human, so I most often do custom work since estate buys with my specifications are...

So, I’ve been on vacation with some extra time on my hand. I took some glamour shots of my wedding “sets.” I also wear them on my right hand too and mix and match. Have shared most of them before, but not altogether. It’s been years of putting things together. I love collecting jewelry. Here...

It's been a whirlwind of a year-college apps, a high school graduation etc-so this post is a bit overdue... I've been obsessed with old cut five stone rings for some time now. Three years ago I saw some lovely rings at NY JAWS, but I had just purchased my first OEC so my bling fund was empty...

Anyone who follows wedding anniversary milestones knows that ruby symbolizes the 40th . Well, time flies and I like rubies and I like Tiffany’s! Seems like a good match to me, hehe! It was hard to capture the red of the rubies. My phone makes them look pinkish but they are a beautiful red...

Before coming to PS, I didn't know that upgrades were a thing! My now hubby started off presenting me with a $10 ebay ring. I was really upset and for many years we worked towards an upgrade to a diamond ring. Our 10 year anniversary happened at the start of COVID. We found this stone from Alex...

My upgrade arrived and all I can say is WOW! I can’t stop staring at it. I went from a 1.57 G SI2 to this beauty. 2.55 G VS1 ACA Platinum Vatche U-113 Ring size 4.5 Ignore my sausage fingers...

Hi all, Some of you may have been following my thread over in CS, but I thought I'd start a new one here to share the finished ring! Just look how cleverly Inken crafted the woven basket and plate under the culet to disguise the small window. Is she something else or what? Best eye in the...

DK just sent me photos of my completed ring! Centre stone is a 1.54 uncertified deep brown yellow marquise from T Star in HK. I vacillated quite a lot about how to set it in my Rocky Talky thread here but ultimately went with my minimalist gut, and opted for a very sleek deep gold setting to...

I hope this is the right section to post this! About 2 years ago, I asked my daughter if she wanted this ring as an engagement ring from me as an early inheritance. She absolutely did- so we had it sized and tweeked the design a little. I kept it in my safe until her (now fiance) came over...

Just sharing my latest addition, a 2.03ct Mansin hot pink spinel and diamond ring in platinum=)2 The color is pretty much pure pink with maybe just a tinge of purple, but some of the photos make it more purplish than reality. The ring size is 4.5 for my right hand, however it's easier to take...

Hi ! Finally, I got my fireball beauty:love: ‼️ J color which is amazing and white I can’t see any inclusions (unless I’m sooo close up but I am never that close ) or clouds So much fire Very happy with my choice!! In love :kiss2: I am also showing it to compare next to a lab diamond 3.33ct...

Just got back from Asia and jet lagged but too excited not to share. There wasn’t a lot of photos of this cut on the internet so wanted to share some for anyone else that was looking at these. 1.27 branded Lucere cut diamond, I color, SI but eye clean. The cut is very cool, mix of brilliant...

** warning long post.. please scroll to photos if you're not interested in reading Two years ago I got my upgrade ring from hubby just in time to celebrate the birth of our son and 10 year anniversary. It was a 3.6ct M SI2 old mine cut – DSS set in quickly and before I even got to enjoy the...

For the last several months I have been heavily involved in forcing helping my DS to apply to colleges. Per usual, shopping for old cuts has been my stress relief :geek2: One Friday night I was trolling an online auction site and came across a ring that I was immediately smitten with. The...

Hi All! Been lurking around this forum since I got engaged last month. I think only this place would understand how excited I was when now Fiancé said let’s go look at engagement rings after almost 12 years together! We weren’t really in a hurry anyway. He’s not the surprise kind of guy so I...

It's here and it's amazing! I've been on a bit of a black and white kick the last few years as well as anything with old cuts. Hubby knew I was looking for a vintage old cut diamond and onyx bracelet and he wanted to find one for my birthday next month. I was having a hard time locating one that...

My latest project - an unheated “mermaid” tanzanite precision cut by Alex Weber in a brushed platinum ring by David Klass. I’ve had this tanzanite for a while, I asked Alex (@premiergemstones) to cut it for me after seeing one of his posts on Instagram. Here was his post about my gem: I...

I haven't been active on this forum in years, but I can't resist sharing and I hope you will all enjoy this. Let me start by saying that I didn't go to the mall planning to buy jewelery, but I left with a ring that was my dream beyond my wildest dreams. I've admired the Tiffany Schlumberger...

This is Neva, and she’s a Belle Epoque toi et moi. My husband and I are celebrating 20 years together this year, and the time was right for some new sparkles! The white diamond is named Rachel, and she’s a super spready 2.76 M SI1 OEC, faint brown modifier and strong blue fluorescence. The...
