Hi all! Let me preface this by saying I've had a rough year, throughout which I've learned it's important to celebrate the positive things. I recently passed an exam that earned me the highest licensure in my field (social work). What better way to celebrate with some new bling? I purchased this from a seller on instagram and just wanted to share! It's an Edwardian (circa 1910-1920) diamond and ruby dinner ring in platinum. The center is a rose cut diamond estimated to weigh around 1 carat. It's sort of reminiscent of a heart shape, don't you think? I'm in love. Would also love to see all of your "milestone bling."

Yes, it is! I got my MSW three years ago and finally just got the clinical licensure. :)

Thank you!! I saw wings as well. Wonder if that is what the designer was going for.

Since you asked, I recently also passed a career related exam. I bought a star sapphire ring right afterwards and it became my celebration of this phase and of having passed! I think it's a great way to celebrate.
