Here is my new *old* ring!

[nutty]

I just purchased this estate ring (don''t know if it is a "true" antique or not) and it''s absolutely sparktacular!! Platinum ring with a 1.60ct old mine cut diamond (J/SI1) with black onyx and diamond melee. It''s even more yummy in person!

 

[JCJD]

Wow! That is so pretty! Do you have hand shots of it? I like the black onyx/white diamonds contrast - very nice!

 

[nutty]

I''m working on hand shots! I just got a new camera and haven''t mastered the macro shots yet -- or getting the shots downloaded to the computer.

Working on it as we type though!!

I love it!!! OMCs are my favorite & I''m going to show my bf that cool combo w/onyx- I bet he''ll love that look (as a writer of horror stories, he''s asked me if e-rings ever have black or really dark stones.) Please show us more photos- I bet it''s amazing on your hand!

The combo of the white and black is what attracted me to this ring.

Here is a pic with the flash:

I''m "nutty" about your ring! okay, okay--BAD joke

...but this ring is NO joke--a real find. Love that stone!

[nutty]

LOL jennifer!

Thanks for all the compliments all! I''m very excited about this purchase and love that I can share it with fellow sparkly lovers that appreciate a purchase like this! I''ll take more pictures tomorrow when the sun is supposed to be out again!

(By the way, I''m a long-time lurker, just getting the nerve up to start posting. I really enjoy this place!!)

 

[mrssalvo]

That is one super great find. I love the contrast of the black and white. Congrats..

 

[glitterata]

That is so incredibly elegant!

May I ask where you found it? I could swear I was admiring it somewhere recently, maybe online.

 

[Mara]

Glitterata...were you by chance hoping this pretty bauble would end up yours?

Nutty, love the J SI stone, please post it in my J Stones in Platinum thread in RT!! We need some new eye candy.

 

[BrightSpot]

Wow--that is stunning! Black goes with everything--especially diamonds!

 

[valeria101]

Yay! What a beauty... it really looks great on hand

It is not usual to see long trillions like this - the proportions of the ring are unique and very lovely. Congratulations for the find !

Does anyone know how to clean onyx? In other words, do you think it is safe to put this ring in jewelry cleaner and/or an ultrasonic cleaner???
