Thank you @Musia! I do wish it was currently my size so I could wear it but we’ll get there in time.

I’ve been trying to come up with a name for this one, every member of my bling squad gets a name because it’s fun and I’m nuts lol!

Then it hit me this morning, this one despite being the smallest diamond, is the Crown Jewel of my collection. So that’s it, Crown Jewel. I have to get a new group shot but here are the individual jewels:

We totally need a new group shot soon - perhaps when you have it resized so we can get more hand shots? Crown Jewel is such a befitting name, with the star cut pattern and the coronet setting.

I'm all about celestial themed jewellery these days, so I'm crazy about the star in your diamond haha. Got to learn more about these patented cuts! I hadn't had Garrard on my mind for a while, but I always loved the work they did for Queen Victoria. The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara is probably my favourite, which actually looks quite a bit like the setting on your ring!

Thank you so much @cushioncutnut, I do consider this my best find of all time for sure.

Thank you @goldnsilver, I am working on resizing it but I had to reach out to Garrard and haven’t hear back yet, so it may be a bit. Celestial theme jewelry is so cool, I love the antique diamond encrusted star brooches especially. Definitely never anticipated a diamond with a star cut into it being in my jewelry box :)

I had the pleasure of seeing this ring (and its regal packaging) in person last week and it's really beautiful--a small but mighty treasure!

Congratulations on receiving JOTW, @YadaYadaYada !! :kiss2:

Just updating this thread with some stacks, also got a good (albeit blurry) picture of the star. It was taken in very low light.

That star is something else!!

Thanks! Neat huh? I don’t see it all the time but I have to deliberately try not to get it in pictures sometimes. That’s when it really comes out.

Have you been able to stop staring at your hand yet? I wouldn’t get anything done!

I am constantly looking at my hand! And also standing in front of mirrors & pushing back my hair, just so I can see the huge sparkles from a real life perspective :lol:

I am still pinching myself & it's been a week, tomorrow. I don't think I'll ever not love her or become complacent about her. She feels like my long awaited & cherished third child :kiss2:
