@nala!! YOU GOT THE EMILYA SETTING??? That's AWESOME!!

What a match made in heaven - I'm so pleased for you!

This is truly a dream ring. A BIG dream ring! I can't believe the fit and how this whole journey has worked out for you!

And that ring is BIG, mamma!! The finger coverage is more than substantial. I am seriously just soooo happy for you! Congratulations!

I will start bc I think I have finally finally achieved it. My stone is a 2.9 E SI1 that is super eye clean. Last week by some fortune of fate a lovely PSer listed her Victor Canera Emilya cathedral and in no time, I was wearing my dream setting with a stone that I never imagined that I could own. And tbh, i don’t even know how to feel! E4C49485-A9D3-4296-99DA-A70727156F3A.jpeg

Your ring is a stunner! And the setting is perfect!

Yes I finally do too! I never thought I was a one ring girl and I am still not, I enjoy wearing and rotating many others too.
Am I still ecstatic? Yes and no. I think I still cannot believe it! It feels bizarre in a way, the opportunity presented itself so suddenly. I have owned the stone since August 14 and the ring since September 7. So yeah very new.
Most people do not know the value so in a way she is not flashy. Perfectly handmade three stone cathedral setting. She is a 1,05 ct fancy blue.

Wait wait a fancy blue?! Must.see.pictures.please!!

Pretty sure this will be the smallest of diamonds here but this is my HG.

Prior to owning this one I thought that I had found "the one" several times but I could always find something about them I would change. Not this one, I adore everything about her.

She’s so beautiful @YadaYadaYada I LOVE the hearts that frame your diamond...:kiss2:

Honestly, I never will. It isn't even a possibility.
I'll never be able to afford what my heart's desire would be; but vicarious PS happiness really does make that okay for me. :bigsmile:
I hope to get some great pieces over time using what I have. I'm content with that.

Tbh, my heart desires a 10 carat emerald a la Beyoncé but I define my holy grail as a ring that is within my means in terms of finances and wearability.

Nope. Since my HG ring is a 6-8ct Burmese ruby, it ain't looking likely, either!

ETA Aww heck - let's make that an 8-10cter!

:lol:

And my equally-beloved Erika Winters earrings :bigsmile:

I've never said so...(they are all beautiful...but)

Those french cut diamond earrings just GET ME!!!! I encountered them a while ago on PS, but they were the beginning of my lust for my own french cut something-or-other down the road.

Nope. I don’t even know what it is...but I’m having loads of fun trying to figure it out. :mrgreen:

To date, I think the closest I’ve come has been with these two paraiba rings.

My Holy Grail ring is my Almond Blossom Opal ring. When I saw photos of her my heart skipped a beat. She is a one of a kind work of Art and @ForteKitty kindly permitted her to move half way around the world to live with me.
Apart from the astonishing blossom detailing, the centre Ethiopian Opal is a magnificent gem. It is every colour under the sun and I adore her. B70E00F7-2B3F-4A7A-A131-A54C6862274E.jpeg 39AD788F-BAA9-4311-809E-FCCD35E36F3A.jpeg 2A3EE4C0-0A63-4176-B695-C2E085CED4C8.jpeg

Nala it's gorgeous! Is this the latest? Does this mean the previous setting is up for grabs? Just curious...

Hi Mrs-B, you might want to admire Lily Safra’s 32 plus carat Burmese ruby starting at 2:58. ...so beautiful...



:-o

Goodness me.....

And now I'm about to say something sacrilegious...That ring would be too big for me.

o_O

This is still my holy grail - my dream-come-reality - The One That Keeps Me Up At Night...

Good! Keep it! It's gorgeous!

Now tell me if your goldsmith gives you the side-eye when you bring in a reset... I think my goldsmith must think I'm crazy because he's seen the same diamond oh, maybe five times... oops

I tried so hard to make her work for me but I couldn't justify keeping her in the glass cabinet on display, never be worn. It makes me so happy to see her LOVED and worn, as she deserves!!
