Back in the day I bought a lot of things on the secondary market. I had a lot of situations like you are in where I hemmed and hawed. I had a rule for myself: I only bought when I was 100% certain. When something was the exact right combination of style and price, I never felt any hesitation! I pounced. So I guess I am saying: When in doubt, don't.

Dreamer has a good point here. You keep going back and forth on this so I wonder if there is something that stops you from the purchase. I too have learned to trust my gut instinct; it never lets me down. If it is not screaming to you, might be best to walk on by. Just a thought.

Great points by Dreamer and MissGotRocks. However @lovedogs has already been eyeing this up for a while before asking to try it on. Is it just the size and the not-usually-your-style that’s stopping you jumping on it? Most importantly do YOU actually love how the set looks on you?

I also wonder if the brand name is just a red herring at this point of decision-making as some of that probably feeds unconsciously into whether you love it or not ☺️
 
Woweeeee it looks gorgeous in the sunlight and on your hand!!!!
 
I had my phone lying on the dining room table and your last picture was open. My teenage daughter just passed by and said, “”Oh, I love that. It is so pretty!” And that was even before I told her it was Tiffany. ❤️
 
Great decision I love the size and look on you. Were you able to negotiate the price if it's not too bold to ask?
Congratulations!
 
I mean, for whatever it's worth, it looks lovely on your hand. I owned a solitaire with the same size diamond at one point and I loved it. **shrug** It's a classic look. One of my good friends in graduate school also had an e-ring this size and similar style, and I always noticed and admired her set.

**EDIT: I though you were still debating but I see you bought it! So Strike "for what it's worth" from the above and just read the rest!! :mrgreen2: I love it.
 
It is lovely.

Not too bold! This is PS! :) yes, they took $100 off, so it was $1,050 before tax ($1130 something after tax). And since I'm not resizing until I have it on for a few days and am sure that I want to, I think it was a pretty good deal!

I really debated trying to recreate the look with a .4 or .5 stone, but quickly realized that even if the stone was moissanite, the platinum setting + band was at least $1500 before adding a stone. Cheapest version I could build from online vendors was 2100 (ranged from 2100-2500 for a diamond with preferred proportions). So realized that even if it's a tad smaller than I hoped, I LOVE the style so much and just wouldn't ever be able to recreate it for less. And finding a whole set like this is super rare, so I'm happy :)
 
Yay @lovedogs! It looks beautiful on you! Enjoy it.
 
It looks gorgeous on you! It’s obvious that it was meant to be!
 
so happy for you
may you love it for the longest time and get plenty of sparkly enjoyment out of wearing it
 
opps
sorry lovedogs
i ment to also say it looks beautiful and well proportioned on your hand
(love your nails too)
 
Congrats LD!. Nice find! :clap:
 
I think you wear it beautifully, it might be petite, but it still looks classic and very elegant :love:.
 
How lovely! I had a .24ct diamond solitaire as my engagement ring, and loved it! Quality is everything.

Enjoy! :wavey:
 
I’m so happy for you! It looks so pretty on your hand! She looks happy to have someone to love her!
 
Congrats lovedogs! I think the price you paid for both rings is great. Enjoy your beautiful, classic set - the dream of lots of girls!!
 
Love it! There's nothing like a classic look and isn't it wonderful to have options?! I'd have at least four or five ER/wedding band sets if I could afford them. There are so many looks that I love. Enjoy wearing this. I'm glad you went for it. :mrgreen2:
 
Congratulations! You listened to your heart. Enjoy!
 
I love it! It looks very refined and elegant!
 
I think it’s really pretty. Do you have any kids that it could maybe be a promise ring one day?
 
HI:

You dun good girlie--it's a real spanker! With original certs also!!!!!:appl:

I love the size.

cheers--Sharon
 
Yes!

This is the whole “jewelry talking to you thing” sometimes you just don’t know why!

Watch- it will turn into your favorite ring!

I am SO happy for you! I was hoping you would purchase it. What a special find... a treasure... your own piece of Tiffany (which, BTW, I think you should name her - her as in the collective set - “Tiffany”)! Looks fabulous on you. So iconic. I honestly think had you let this one go you would’ve surely regretted it.
 
Normally I'm a size ho but I love love LOVE the set on you!!!! I'm so glad you went for it.:appl:
