Hey everyone!

i just wanted to share my joy with you all. I scored an endless love platinum setting with a .5 center stone on an eBay auction for $1200 USD! The Center stone is G VS1, no cert or cut specs but it is through a very reputable auction site that has been in business for a decade.

I cannot wait to receive this!

Question for you: if the center diamond’s cut is not to my liking, am I able to reset the center diamond even though the setting is bezel?
Thanks!

here are some photos :) 03802552-48F0-4675-97F6-523B04E197CC.png F27C0881-3847-4148-9306-ED14A0F12EBE.png A41D4B6A-2033-4D71-9109-853740792AEC.png 348596F7-E6C1-4C49-A64F-D1687900F000.png B86D4732-C4C6-4F69-9FCC-0861EEE5565D.png

I hope I got a good deal! The setting on Ritani alone seems to be over 2k.

Google 'sflmaven Ebay' and there you go! He has a smaller selection of 'buy it now' and a wide selection of auctioned jewelry, auctions end every Thursday night! I won a 2ct tennis bracelet a few years ago for like $900 USD.. Enjoy!

he also ships right away priority mail. I have to wait until Wednesday because I am international (Canadian) to get my tracking number because he has to file international paperwork, but after that it should only take 2 days.

oooh i was outbid by like 20$ on a killer eternity ring from that seller a while back. then i found out i didn't like how eternity rings feel on my hand so i guess it worked out. it looked like a super deal though. enjoy yours!

Woo hoo, congratulations on your ebay win, it looks beautiful!! I have my fingers crossed for you that the centre stone is what you're hoping for and doesn't need replacing! =)2

I am familiar with that seller. I think I have purchased from them before. It looks to be beautiful and I hope it is even more beautiful in person that you wouldn't want to change anything about it!

David Klass has done this for me twice. He has to rebuild the bezel but he says it’s easy to do. I don’t know that many jewelers can do it without ruining the setting.

Thank you for the suggestion! I will keep him in mind.

I forgot to mention, don’t look at my nails!!!! I’m in a province wide lock down right now and don’t have it in me (yet) to rip these things off.

Not officially.. yet! I have been obsessed with diamonds for years, and two months ago lost a diamond ring.. so this is its much more beautiful replacement!

It will be used as a stand in when my now boyfriend proposes and we will design a ring together I wear it on my middle finger currently.
