So, I've greedily kept this doll to myself for a few days since receiving her, but she's too lovely to not share her beauty with you all!
❤️

Named "Yvaine" after the beautiful being from one of the most wondrous & fantastical movies, this vintage navette is encrusted with twenty-five precious antique rose-cut diamonds all together equaling at approximately 1ct. They all are snugly set into a rosey 12k yellow gold navette style setting with beautifully decorative shoulders & a smooth comfortable shank.

The ring was believed to have been made in Turkey in the 1980s using real antique rose cuts & the ring was since kept with one woman who adored it & wore it everyday. Her love for the piece is evident in the teensy flea bites along the rose cut diamond halo but doesn't detract in the slightest from the overall beauty of the ring.

The rose cut halo frames the three largest & most spectacular diamonds, & if one looks closely you can even see that the designer encrusted six extra teeny tiny rose cut diamonds around the largest giving the overall ring so much sparkle & movement.

Yvaine can be traced to French & Scottish lines and means "evening star". I named her Yvaine partly because I'm a weirdo that names her rings or stones but also because she reminds me of a star high in the fertile night sky. Her Marquise shape, which if one stares enough at a star will appear before them each time they blink & her glittering rose cut diamonds give her so much personality.

This was my first purchase from the lovely Parks Fine Group & Alex made It incredibly quick & effortless. I look forward to doing more business with him as he is always having some of the most beautiful diamonds pass through his hands. I feel lucky that I was able to snab Yvaine & wouldn't hesitate to purchase from him again.

I didn't mention a word to anyone about the purchase until the ring was on my finger, as some of you who have been following along will know that my last antique find was stolen, and that experience affected me more than expected. I've had a lot of intrusive thoughts since then & just feel an overall unease about delivery services that I didn't feel before.

I used the refund money from the stolen ring to help purchase this ring and wouldn't have been able to afford her without it, so I think that it was meant to be.

Yvaine & Me

*Also bonus points to the first one who is a fan of the same movie & understands my reference!

That ring definitely makes a statement, and looks so lovely on your hand. Very happy for you that it worked out esp since your last ring got stolen. So sorry. Hope this makes a wonderful new memory for you.

Stardust! I love that name.
Your ring is gorgeous, by the way. :love: The modified buttercup and the ornate shoulders are everything.

It was so sad that the sapphire ring didn't work out.
A pox on the person who absconded with it!!!

That being said, I think this ring was meant to be.
You wear it well!! :kiss2:

Wow.... I can’t believe there’s someone else who likes Stardust. I only watched it fifty million times.

I’m glad this ring goes to psers. I plan to ogle at it fifty million times.

This is so beautiful. I envy you very much. I’m looking for a rose cut diamond ring myself.

I’m sorry about your lost but I’m sure you will build a sweet memory with Yvaine.

So sorry I haven't responded personally to each of you!

I tend to shy away when I get too much attention on here! Haha

The inner introvert in me tends to come out but you all should know how much your comments meant to me!

This purchase was very emotional because it was the first one that happened after my rose cut and blue sapphire ring was stolen and it was purchased from Alex P. whom I admire so!

Thank you so much for all of the love! I'm lucky to have a platform of such sweet women to share my happiness with!

Gorgeous ring! You should model rings!! Nice find!!

You are too kind!
I dig in the dirt and don't keep my manicure up perfectly - I'd be an awful hand model haha

They'd have to keep me away from all things messy!

& Thank you girl! I feel the same way, Yvaine was mean to be mine!

Beautiful glow and lustre in the combination of the gold and rose cuts. As others have said the detailing on the shoulders is super, too. I have a soft spot for marquise shape design; my great-grandmother had a "dinner ring" with openwork filigree containing three little graduated diamonds set in a marquise orientation.

Thank you for your sweet words, I am glad others also found an affinity for it as well! I think the fact that the back is closed to all rose cuts helped create that beautiful luster and glow that you see! Rose cut diamonds are stunning but sometimes need a little help, and closing the ring or foiling are great!

Also your great grandmother's ring sounds so unique, you wouldn't have a picture of it would you?
