AVC

[zephyr]

I am falling in love with August Vintage. What do you think of them?

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I would LOVE to have one!!!

 

[zephyr]

I would LOVE to have one!!!

me too. DROOOL. I think I might have to get one soon. So pretty. How would you set it? I was thinking of a 3 stone ring? I know this would be in addition to my upgrade but a girl can dream right?

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I am very good at dreaming!!!

There are a few settings I have considered. I'll see what pictures I might have handy....

lol, I see you have been plotting yours for a while. I was wondering what color would you consider going to on an AVC? I have never bought below I color. Would you buy something below I?

 

[zephyr]

Also, a round or cushion? I know AVC is cushion but do you like the rounds too?

 

[yssie]

Love rounds modern and old, squarer/oblong stones that aren't step cuts aren't for me IRL though I enjoy drooling over all the cushion video closeups on here

Sorry to threadjack (I'll be brief), but can someone very quickly explain to me the difference btwn August round, OEC's and transitionals. I know it has to do with faceting, but just a quick explanation...please Oop, forgot about OMC's. Where do they fall in the mix?

 

[Skippy123]

I think they are gorgeous

Not at all.

I am currently choosing between

OR

It is going to be set on a rose gold band. Which would you pick?

Both gorgeous! I'd pick the L, personally - I like the extra size, and I think a little warmth compliments the older style perfectly *and* I think it would look amazing in rose gold!

Have you seen Haven's ring by chance? She has an O/P coloured old mine (actual antique, not one of GOG's branded AVs) in rose gold and it's positively edible [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/its-here-its-here-my-2-30-ct-omb-antique-cushion-upgrade.158760/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/its-here-its-here-my-2-30-ct-omb-antique-cushion-upgrade.158760/[/URL]

And Noel's OEC in a rose gold 10prong solitaire [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-10-prong-antique-setting-engagement-ring.81300/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-10-prong-antique-setting-engagement-ring.81300/[/URL]

DONE. L has been put on hold. I am now getting a studs upgrade and an amazing L AVC.

Thanks to GOG whom I love. They are the best people.

There is also this round one: http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/8243/

That's harder! Well - it's easy for me - I'm much more of a rounds person than I am a cushions person, so I'd pick the round, but you might like cushions better! Same L/W diameter too, despite the weight difference...

Do they have any lower coloured AVRs? Ohh they do! *This* is my pick http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/7137/ someone needs to rescue it from that white metal head!

You wouldn't believe it but I have been drooling over that ring forever. The issue is that I wear the inverse of that (ruby in the center with 2 diamonds on the side on my left hand).

I wonder if I can get just the stone..hmmmm

 

[Christina...]

I would still pick the cushion, but you seem a bit up in the air....and this is a huge decision. They are all beautiful stones but you will be wearing it for a very long time, a lifetime, unless you chose to upgrade down the road so I would hate to see you get caught up in the all the excitement (very very easy to do) and regret your decision down the road. Have you chosen a setting for the gorgeous stone? You mentioned rose gold, an impeccable choice I must say but have you decided if it will be a solitaire? or a halo? bezel maybe? Often times how you chose to set the stone will determine which stone is best for you. Congratulations and Best wishes! The stones you have chosen so far are gorgeoouuuusss!!!

This is for my right hand ring. I wear a ruby on my left and that will be there for life. I have a rose gold band already so it will be set as a solitaire.

The choices are


Cushion L VS1 0.95 carats (least $$) http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/9027/

Round G SI1 0.76 (Middle of the two) http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/8243/

Round M VS2 1.18 carats (most $$) http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/7137/
