I actually got it a couple weeks ago, but forgot to make a post here. I've wanted one for awhile, but didn't think it was going to get to happen for a few more years. On our way home from vacation last month, we stopped off for lunch, and there was a jeweler a couple doors down from the resturaunt. I decided to peek in just for kicks. They only had a few estate pieces, but one caught my eye right away. I asked to try it on, even though I assumed it would be way above my price range, but was pleasantly surprised when it was a steal! I had no trouble getting my husband to agree to the purchase. I was told it was an old mine cut, but after looking online, asking here, and checking with my jeweler brother-in-law, it's more characteristic of a old european cut, although maybe an early one. Anyway, here she is!
Ring size 4.5, Carat unknown, 5.2 mm width, color unknown, there is an inclusion I can only see with a loupe.

Sometimes I wear her with a simple yellow gold band.

Other times I wear her with this white gold and diamonds piece that was also an estate piece I got last spring.

You lucky lady! What a beautiful stone & her setting is perfect! I’m assuming the setting is original to her? It’s lovely & chunky, so can withstand the tests of time I expect. More pictures!

I am not sure if the setting is original, but there does seem to be wear on the prongs, so it wouldn't surprise me if it is. I love the simple elegance of the setting that let's the stone stand out.

I can't remember what she guessed the color at. I think it might be around a J.

Oh!

Noticing how the V cut in the band makes it disappear next to the stone despite the real width...

Very pretty stone. It’s lucky you knew what you were looking for. I wonder how many people have skipped over this very lovely girl. Congratulations! And it is in the perfect setting for you to really focus on her.
