I never intended for this to be a big jewelry spend year but a few wheels went into motion prior to the pandemic and, well, I ended up with a few new things despite my intentions.
I have always loved step cuts. My big goal was to get a 5 carater one day. To hold me over I started a 7 stone asscher project that ended up being two 7 stone asscher rings, one white and one fancy intense yellow. I thought I was done for the year but, I sold my OEC and a phenomenal opportunity opened up on my dream ring. I now have a 5.01 carat K VS2 1.43 ratio emerald cut with 65% table and 65.5% depth. She is beautifully white with lovely on/off flashes. The setting is a petal basket which is a modern yet soft twist on a classic. Also included a family pic with my sapphire, ruby, fancy intense yellow diamond, and the 2 asscher 7 stone rings. My tennis bracelet joined too.
