(Warning: Photo heavy)
After much encouragement and education by you lovely ladies and gents about going for quality
of the stone over the setting or carat size, I found the perfect ring for me. I debated between
the lure of more carats in a new ring (1ct solitaire, tiffany setting) but with much poorer quality (I1-I2).
After looking at this ring and the stones I have that are I1-I2 (but still pretty to the naked eye,
but not as sparkley as this nicer stone) I really see the difference.
I paid $1,400 for this ring. Would you say that's an accurate value? Or what would you value it at?
It's 14k, center stone (not certified or independantly appraised, just the jewelery shop's paper on it)
(By the way-if you disagree please tell me and if it's correct, please also tell me-also any comments
to educate me about the stone are appreciated), european cut, .60, VS1, color H (I'm wondering if
it might actually be a bit better color and clarity than stated?), side stones .14 each total ct = 0.88.
I really love the illusion set. I'd love more info anyone can offer about the setting and stones.
It's supposed to be 1920's (late) - 1930's (early), does that sound right? Any and all education
about the ring, diamonds, clarity, color, etc is appreciated as I still have so much to try to learn.
Excuse my dried out skin and bad manicure in the pictures and my wanky little finger that never
quite healed correctly after a break years ago.
Also, do you think I should add a band, if so any suggestions.
On to the pics...I added a few, becasuse I really didn't know what would help show the stone best.'
