If you had 15K to purchase bling what would you buy?

[missy]

Ugh these are my dream diamonds for studs! high color and all! if anything...a hair too big, but i guess i would never need an upgrade, right?

Never too big lol!

 

[missy]

it would be a toss up - beautiful high color OEC studs...OR

my dream setting for my glorious, vivid blue but sleepy oval sapphire. i want a calibrated french cut diamond halo target ring for my RHR! basically something this, but reversed - and obviously sapphire, not emerald.




and....I would want a french cut diamond eternity. id prefer a true antique...but worse case, i would go to yoram if i had enough left over after my setting

....or I would get this delicious one from VC because i think it has the most perfect proportions! are both over budget? maybe! back up plan - DK for both

Gorgeous

 

[missy]

I would get an ACA or CBI diamond tennis bracelet! Frankly, my next single diamond purchase will be more than $15000 so I picked another piece on my bling wish list!

Can’t go wrong with either!

 

[missy]

I would add that to my budget at the beginning of the year and get a better upgrade....an F

F for freaking fantastic!!!

 

[MamaBee]

F for freaking fantastic!!!

I don’t think that’s happening unless I sell some rings. I’m too cheap! Haha

 

[Mayk]

An emerald or sapphire RHR... would be my next purchase but nothing is in the plans right now.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

 

[Snowdrop13]

Oooh, this is exactly the sort of thing that I ponder in my daydreams!

I’d do one of two things, either upgrade my ACA (currently in a pendant) to around the 2ct mark in a ring, or buy some VCA,

this, maybe?

4. An upgrade to my e-ring :
I really want a 4 carat ring but with 4 stones so around 1 carat each.
My choice for the 4 stones would either be 4 AVC, 4 square emerald cuts from Yoram or blend of 2 of each stone. Each stone 6 x 6 ideally...I imagine they would all be on the warm side but I am okay with that.
Another thought would be two square emerald with two trapezoid french cuts all cut by Yoram.

 

[elle_71125]

There are actually two options on my list and I'm crazy about both of them. The real challenge would be deciding which one I'd get.

1. @diamondseeker2006 gorgeous OEC in a CvB casablanca.


2. Jasmine Jade Boutique 's personal emerald ring.

No pic yet, however, I would happily spend 15k on a nice big glowy Paraiba Tourmaline cabochon, or a finished ring for the left hand with such a centre stone.

Hi Missy!
What a fun thread.. thank for giving me something to do on this very rainy afternoon!
Oooo... If I had 15K right now I would "scratch" my marquise "itch."
I would get this 7 carat tw eternity band.
Or this 3 carat marquise L colored ER that was auctioned a few weeks ago but I would turn back time and buy it.
Or this ruby/diamond Oscar Heyman ring.
Or this vintage white gold Rolex with MOP face and sapphire markers.
Thanks for the delightful 15K dilemma.. many good choices!

Ooooh! That eternity band makes my heart go pitter patter

 

[Rubies-R-Me]

Mine too Rosie R! I saw it on Ebay but then went to the store, which was drivable from me, and tried it on. It's a size 4.5 which is close to my size but still a little too large. It's a stunner in person. Very heavy.. stones so bright and gorgeous.

I recognize that Oscar Heyman flower ring! I've got it on my "watch list" too! Small world.

 

[RunningwithScissors]

I'd use the $15K plus throw in about $10K of my own to upgrade my current 2 ctw CBI diamonds studs to 3 ctw D VVS2-VS1s.

Or, I'd use the $15K plus about $5K of my own to have Victor Canera make an emerald cut eternity band for me.

 

[ItsMainelyYou]

A true in your face neon red spinel ring! ShOcKiNg, I know
Or, one of the twenty or so antique diamond rings I've been stalking for ages.

 

[Rubies-R-Me]

I recognize that Oscar Heyman flower ring! I've got it on my "watch list" too! Small world.

That's so funny that we are both watchers! I actually think it's quite fairly priced for what it is.
Comes with OH paperwork which is a lovely plus.

Yes it does! I'm a huge fan of Oscar Heyman and especially love the more retro-looking pieces like that one.

Wearing that ring would be like having a bouquet of flowers with you all day long.

 

[Diamond Girl 21]

I've been dreaming and planning for a larger emerald cut diamond with roughly the same stats as my current stone (D, VS1). So, I would use the money for an upgrade in size.

HI:

A yellow gold, long Tiffany hardware chain. A small pair of CBI's for stud earrings and of course @yssie yellow heart diamonds on the pre-loved forum

cheers--Sharon

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

As someone who once had that to spend on jewlery and now realizes what a bad job i did of it i would now do nothing till i asked for y'all's advice here first !

 

[Beautiful-disaster]

I would buy four French cut eternity bands - one diamonds, one blue sapphires, one rubies, one emeralds.
Then I would add - one yellow sapphires, one pink sapphires and one purple sapphires - just to round out the rainbow (have never been a big fan of orange coloured stones - no idea why)... but I’m sure once I had the rest of the rainbow it would stand out as a missing spectrum.
(Hey I would take all those colours in diamonds too but I will save that for the 100,000 thread lol).
I would prefer to buy the bands over big stones rings that would sit in my jewlery box and not get worn.

 

[Arcadian]

I would upgrade my studs for sure. It would not be enough though, I'd have to chip in a little bit (especially for taxes!!)

 

[doberman]

A ruby or a paraiba tourmaline.

 

[Tekate]

As you know! I have a 2.947 I color SI1 ACA, I would upgrade to a G color and go with as much weight as it would get me.. I love my ring, but maybe I would like it to be a bit less yellow(ish) altho it only happens on certain lighting environments or lack of light.. but in reality I'd pay my son's bills from my DIL's operation and his dog was in the hospital for eating 2 boxes of raisins and he's got a huge bill, and we have helped him with other bills for pup and cat so hubster said, no. xo

 

[mom2dolls]

Ruby!

 

[Matthews1127]

I’d purchase a new, larger, center EC for my ER. I’d def put my current EC in a cozy pendant.
No way would I trade Uisce in, when I have a healthy $15K budget to purchase a brand new stone!!
2+ct EC F color, VS+ clarity. L x W ratio: 1.40-1.50:1.
