I had a beautiful 3.5ct oec that I sold less than 2 years ago in order to buy my first OMC. Then swapped it for another OMC. Thought I was done with the switch-a-roos..until last week. Sin City Finds posted that she had added items on her website that she hadn't shown on IG yet. Always down for looking at bling I headed on over to the site.
And there IT was.
UH-OH.
See, I've always been an art deco lover at heart. And one of my favorite designs from this period is the target ring. I have dreamed of having one with french cut sapphires and a beautiful warm OEC. I've seen several, but none just right.

Until I wandered over to her site. There it was- the target ring "in my head". French cut sapphires, platinum, with a beautifully faceted S-T VS1 OEC. And my size!

I knew I'd regret it if I let it get by me. So one more roller coaster ride _/\/\/\_ and she's on my finger!

Oh, that's it! That leaves nothing to be desired.

Stunning! I love the proportions. It’s perfect. What is the carat weight of the diamond? It doesn’t look so huge as some of your past ones…. I really like it a lot it looks great on your hand.

And I adore the sapphires. Since I got my first high quality coloured gemstone ring I am thinking my three stone needs some color too! It’s so eye catching.

Oops! Bad PS'er here. Can't believe I left out the ct! It's 2.15 ct and 8.07 x 8.17mm. Maybe I'm an oddball, but the drop in size suits me. ( We are both planning to retire soon, daydreaming about a smaller house even further from the city... )

I didn't know what lower color I really liked until I got a smaller ST a few months ago. I love that very soft light yellow. And it picks up surrounding color like crazy!

I get it. Working on a new ring myself and it's going to be smaller than my current. Congrats on a beautiful piece!

Its beautiful. I love how the warmer OECs seem to pick up so much color from their environment. I see aqua, yellow and orange colors reflected in the facets of your gorgeous diamond. I love the size of your diamond too. Perfect to wear as is or to pair with bands.

I love that ring. I'm not a diamond lover, but I love old cuts and I love Art Deco. Your ring is an absolute dream and looks just lovely on your hand. Congratulations and wear it in good health!

She really picks up surrounding color, I just love it! Here's a side by side: in my car , day light (tan & black car interior) and inside , natural light, near a window (light blue wall paint)
