Sharing a little something I found at the pawn shop yesterday. I've been having problems with swelling in my hands and sadly none of my rings fit (not even one I had made 3 months ago) so while I'm waiting to find out what the issue is I was really sad there were no sparkles to look at. Enter this girl, she is a lovely 14k white gold diamond band from the 1940's she has lots of sparkle, when I louped these diamonds in the store they were extremely clean. Now like any vintage ring she does have some personality, more specifically she has an ugly step-sister OEC replacement diamond in there. I say that because this stone has a distinct tint under magnification, in person it's not noticeable, there is also one diamond with a little chip to it that I'll probably have matched and replaced down the line. There is a pretty floral cutout on the shoulders too.
The place I got this from was great, ran it though the ultrasonic twice and let me take it outside to get away from the store lights (actually I was allowed to do this with any ring he had). She is a nice 5 grams and 1/2" wide and has great presence and coverage. If you have gotten this far you deserve some pics and thanks for reading!
