Input on vintage ring (and Stone)

[poppins]

Hi,
I am thinking about this ring and would very much appreciate some input from PSrs. I started another thread in The antique and vintage section, but I figure that asking here might be a better idea. Does this seem to be a purchase to consider or not? More pictures and more info in The other thread.Pictures are from vendor.

Old cut (not more specified than that) , approximately 0.8.,clarity unknown. Thank for looking!

It would be helpful to provide a link to the other thread if you want people to have a look.

It is extremely yellow. Is that the goal?
I can see black inclusions in the second pic.

What’s the cost of this?

Hi Niel, thanks for replying. The cost is approximately 1300 usd. And to be clear, this is not a question about a project that I am actively thinking of in the way that I have been looking for a certain kind of stone. I came across this and became a bit tempted. But I (obviously) know too little of old cuts to tell if this is terrible or if I should consider getting it for this price. The PS input is for keeping me from making impulsive jewelry mistakes and spending my money instead of saving up for something nice. For a "real" project I would go with a trusted PS vendor . Just the jewelry bug that gets to you sometimes, you know. Maybe this setting is also really a bit too clumsy.

I’d pass on that one.

Pass.

I know we can’t self promote, but there is a nice David Klass OEC set in that carat weight on loupetroop right now

It is priced too high. You can offer the vendor 75%, and that might be fair.
I think for $1300 you can do much better.

It's a fun, chunky diamond, and a nice solid ring, but for $1300 at that carat weight I would pass.

Thank you all! I knew I would get solid feed-back from you. I am not very active here, but I read a lot on the boards and I have learned eons from PS. And clearly jewelry quality and choice is far better in the US than in Europe.

International shipping of more expensive jewelry between private persons is tricky, so for most cases (sadly !) Loupetroop doesn't work out.

Agreed that for $1300 it would be a hard pass for me
