Deep breath. I am thinking of parting with my 2 ct OEC (aka Chippy). I love this ring; the main reason I am selling is to specifically buy another vintage ring that I have fallen for. I am worried it might sell before I’m able to sell mine, so if it does I’ll take the listing down.

And here my ring is below when I was goofing around:

Here is the info based on the seller that I purchased from :
Center stone – 2 ct (8mm) Old European cut
VS1 (given the nibbles I would say Si1 though)
N color (perhaps warmer bc that was the designation from a gemologist not specifically GIA)
Set in a platinum setting with baguettes. Baguettes are .24 ctw and the setting is 2.7 DWT Size 5.25 and sizable.
I was told that the setting is also old. The diamond though is probably 1800s so I am not sure if the setting is as old as the stone.
As its namesake implies, the diamond has a chip and some edging. The stone was originally 2.09 and was rehabbed but the chipping was cleaned up but not entirely polished out because it would have gone below the 2ct mark. I did my best to photograph so you can see; I used my 10x loupe.
When the stone was removed for rebab, and placed back in the setting, the prongs were also retipped.
I spoke with some consigners (local and online) and listing about 1k below what they said they would probably list it for. I am trying this route first in hopes that if someone is interested it will be a faster sale than the consignment process in addition to the fact that consignment incurs extra costs for both buyer and seller.
The diamond has a lovely pattern and is very lively and bright.
The LT will have it for 8K and $7800 for PS.
Btw I videoed and photography in a DK ring box (probably should have re-thought that) but DK didn’t have anything to do with the ring. It was just the closest one I grabbed from my jewelry box.
Please contact me directly for questions. My email will be in the LT listing.
