do you know how many tcw of diamonds...

[Gypsy]

Love it! Uh, darn, zero... this would have been more fun with my late wife Robin:

Pendant: 3.54 carat princess, surrounded by two carats of rounds in a channel set raceway.
Engagement ring: 5 carat pear shape, surrounded by a carat of accents.
Index finger: 2.70 carat pear shape
Pinkie finger: cascade, three carats t.w.
Sapphire cascade: 2 ct. sapphire w/ about 1.50 t.w. ballerina style.
Tennis bracelet: five carats t.w.
Earrings: two carats t.w.
Fingernails: 14k gold (really) with about 1/10 carat t.w. spread between them.

So she was sporting just under 26 carats of diamonds, not counting the sapphire... Worn pretty much all the time, except while on vacation.

And an Israeli diamond cutter named Motey proposed marriage to her in the middle of the JCK trade show in Vegas one year by dropping a 25 carat pear shape diamond into her hand while mumbling "I give you this, you marry me!" and you know, I think she considered it

You know, I can tell how much she was loved by you by this post. I am so sorry for your loss.

Ditto. My condolences Todd. I know it's been a while, but your love really does just jump off the page.

1cttw

My 1/2cttw 5-stone band on my right hand, and a wide scattered bezel band on my left (I think it's 1/2cttw also), and white gold hoops. It's casual Friday, I usually don't wear my wedding set to the office with my jeans. And the minute I get home it all comes off.

 

[iheartscience]

0! I never wear jewelry around the house.

 

[Haven]

2.3 (ering upgrade)
.40? (grandmother's ring with 2 OMCs and two tiny bits of melee)
1.7? eternity wedding band
SO
= 4.40 total, give or take a bit. There's a tiny bit of melee in my upgrade, but I don't think it's enough to count!

 

[Tuckins1]

0. Fingers too swollen and on bedrest, so no need for bling!

 

[HopeDream]

a modest 1.02

.77 E-ring
.25 ctw studs

hmmm....time to buy a diamond watch...

 

[princesss]

.37ctw!

I don't wear jewels at home. But DH looked at me the other day as we were leaving the house and said I was wearing more money than I was riding in. lol We drive older cars so it's not that hard.

 

[rosetta]

5.75 .. but once I get my other ring back... 7.50

eta:

I AM SHOWING MY HUSBAND THIS THREAD! He thinks I wear too many diamonds at once (ok, only sometimes) This proves that I'm not the only one that likes to wear more than one piece at once.. and I'm not even near the top of the total carat weights.

mwahaha diamond hoops here I come

Go for a bracelet.

I can't wait for the day I'm wearing a 7+ carat tennis bracelet and someone asks this question. Alas, it's a long time off. Especially with the trend toward rising diamond prices. Too rich for my blood.

A bracelet really does pile on the carats. I have two bangles that are ~12 carats but not wearing them now (time for bed )

I am scared to venture into the world of diamond bracelets bigger wrists means more diamonds! Hmmm I wouldn't even know where to start. Eventually I'd like one, but I have a few more items on my smaller list first (inside/ outside hoops, 5 stone hoops, and replacing my stolen solitaire pendant. Oh, I also want a crazy diamond pendant that isn't so "basic" since so many of my items seem very "safe" to me.

And... rosetta, do you have pictures of your bangles? I'd love to see

 

[chemgirl]

0!

I'm a wedding band only type of girl.

 

[Echidna]

Approx. 1.25cttw, so not enough...

 

[Dancing Fire]

I don't have my rings on at the moment, so earrings at 1.43 plus pendant at 1.30 equals ... 2.73. With the rings, it goes up to 6.69 for daily wear. Damn, I missed the magic number by .03 ....

don't forget your belly ring...

Ehm...And your 1.7ct new ER that you just mentioned on another post needs a separate thread too my dear Susimoo...

 

[MichelleCarmen]

still at .42

I had taken off my ring to move a 5,000 lbs craftsman tool set and didn't want to chip my diamond. My dh has turned into pshycho possesive DH and told me to quit taking off my rings and he saw one on the bookcase, announced the cat was going to knock it off, and then he tried to hide it from me under my candle snuffer. So, now I'm stuck with diamond covered in lotion gunk b/c I'm forbidden from taking it off. lol Will have to soak it while applying makeup every morning. If he was really concerned, he'd buy me a back-up diamond for the days when I am unsure where my original ring is. Agreed???

 

[FrekeChild]

.99ctw. OMC earrings and wg wedding band. I'm not ready for the day yet...

Naty,

I do now!!!

 

[rosetta]

Susimoo, i promise to shoot pics when all my jewellery comes out for my wedding in July. I will include the diamonds (not that I have a lot!) and my traditional Asian jewellery too (expect lots of high karat gold)

 

[Cozystitches]

I *think* I have maybe 1.25cttw? I'm not sure because I only know the weight of a few pieces. I have my original e-ring which is 0.33; it's soldered to a wrap w/diamonds w/I think 0.5 (I looked online and Kay's has one just like it). I have my original wedding band which has about 0.1 but is worn on my right hand because its worn down after 12+ years of rubbing together w/my ering. I also have my new WF scattered band (LOVE IT!) which is 0.25 that I wear w/my ER. My cross pendant which is about 0.25. I also have a pair of studs about 0.33, and a single stud about 0.05.

Ering & Wrap: 0.83
Wedding Ring: 0.10
WF Scattered Band: 0.25
Cross pendant: 0.25
Studs (pair and 1/2): 0.38

Grand total of: 1.81 (guess)

 

[FrekeChild]

OMC earrings: .99cts
Diamond ering: 1.52cts
Bev K halo: .23cts
Total diamonds: 2.74

Spinel in halo: 1.33cts
Colorless tourmaline: 2.5cts
Total colored stones: 3.83cts

Grand total: 6.57cts

Gosh I never realized how fast these added up!

Fantastic. The diamonds you have are !!!!!!
I also love high karat gold. My husband is moroccan and I have quite a few pieces that he has bought me. Also some beautiful gifts from my dear mother in law.
I look forward to your post and I wish you and your loved one all the very best in your life together.
