Alas, I have “fallen off the wagon”. I lasted 12 days before my Bling withdrawal got the better of me and I’m sure I can share this “humiliation” with my understanding PS friends....
So WHAT DID I BUY !
I bought a diamond semi mount.
I have my collection of gems which to be honest had overwhelmed me. Both my Mum and Dad are aged and unwell and I have been otherwise occupied. 2019 is a new year, time to get moving.
I have the 2 x 3 carat round blue sapphires. My original intention was earrings as they are an almost match. I even bought a pair of earring mounts for them but decided the earring mounts were too simple and unimpressive. And I’m not a huge fan of earrings anyway, I prefer rings and bracelets so I can admire my bling beauties!
So then I considered selling them both together as a pair as it seemed a shame to split them and heavens above, the cost of getting a “substantial” ring setting made is $$$$$. I like BIG and a 3 carat sapphire needs more (much more) than a light sprinkling of diamonds in my opinion. But that made me a bit sad, I wanted to keep one.
Then I found this. Oh my, perfect in every way. AND price friendly.
Big hugs to Suzanne who is my “partner in bling” who willingly aids and abets me with my international purchases.
So here we are, photos of the entire process to date.
