A Newbie''s Jewelry Collection

[msclaudia]

Hi guys! So I''m a newbie to Pricescope and also to collecting jewelry. For a 21 year old college student who still eats ramen noodles I''m pretty proud of my fledgling collection

This flower ring was the first piece of real jewelry that I bought myself. The picture isn''t great because it was taken with my iphone but I think you can still get the idea. It''s 3 white gold flowers done in pave diamonds, each flower has a cluster of yellow gold stamen. I fell in love when I saw it. Everytime I wear it people comment on it, one of my friends told me it reminds him of Samantha''s ring in the sex and the city movie (they actually look nothing alike, but props to my heterosexual male friend for even making the sex and the city reference). It''s 1.1 carats, SI1-2, can''t remember the color but I''m pretty sure it was G-H. It''s currently at the jeweler''s getting the band replaced from the ugly thick 5 stack wire band, to a much more elegant twist/rope band (like the david yurman bands). I''ll post picture of the ring when it comes back from the jeweler''s.

This is the jeweler''s picture of my flower ring. See what I mean by the ugly thick 5 stack band? Totally didn''t fit the delicate intricacy of the ring. Also, I bought this on ebay from an ebay store.

It''s very pretty and unique.

This is my twist ring. It''s two tone yellow and white gold. 1/2 carat in pave setting. I love this ring, I''ve yet to see someone else with it on. My best friend insisted that she try it on for a couple of hours the last time I saw her because she liked it so much. It''s one of my everyday pieces.

This is another everyday ring that I wear on my thumb. The main stones are baguettes, surrounded by tiny round diamonds in a pave setting. It''s 3/4 carat and white gold.

This is a very simple band. Sorry for the horrid picture quality, my digital camera is ages old, I swear my cell phone takes better pictures lol. You can''t see it too well in the picture but it''s a band with alternating circle baguette diamonds, it''s a fairly popular ring, I''ve seen someone else on price scope with the same exact thing. My jeweler says it''d make a lovely wedding band for me, I said I''m not married and I don''t plan on being married anytime soon lol. 1/3 carat.

This is my new tennis bracelet! It was such a search... I wanted a tennis bracelet that didn't look like every other tennis bracelet I've seen. It's circle and baguettes. 3 carats but after I get a couple of the links taken out to fit my wrist it'll be less than 3 ct. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do with the leftover links?

In addition... My hand isn't really gigantic like it looks in the picture lol, it's just a really tiny laptop in the background.

I absolutely fell in love with this pendant when I saw it, so delicate and intricate. The diamonds inside the leaf actually swing back and forth. 3/8 carat. I bought it at Macy''s, which I normally hate to do (I''m an ebay and nyc diamond district showroom shopper) but I was just browsing when this pendant completely captured me, I was convinced I wouldn''t find it anywhere else so I had to buy it. What do you guys think?

 

[msclaudia]

I got this pendant and a white gold anklet as an exchange for a tennis bracelet I impulsively bought. I would''ve asked for a refund but they didn''t give refunds

Anywho I really do love this pendant even though I feel like I got a bit shafted in the whole purchasing and exchanging process.
It''s .54 ct VS2-SI1, near colorless.

This is the newest flower ring to add to my collection, I''ve made a few tweaks so mine will be a bit different from the one in the picture. The rose gold portion will be replaced with yellow gold, and the yellow gold part will be studded in canary diamonds instead of white. It won''t get here until after x-mas because the jeweler had to get it custom made for the adjustments I wanted, this little beauty is coming to me all the way from Italy! I''m so excited for this ring. I''ve always dreamed of a Cartier Orchid ring, but until I make my first few million this is about as close as I''m going to get. Upon inspection, I actually like this one a bit better than Cartier orchid mold.

I''m not sure what the heck happened to the picture in my last post but here''s the newest flower ring.
