#JOTW My new 5.02ct Old European Brilliant

[sjroberts]

I do not post very often. But I enjoy Pricescope almost every day. So much beauty and sparkle. And so fun to see what everyone posts. I appreciate all the regular posters who always share such great jewelry and support to everyone. In spirit I have loved all your jewelry!

So now on to my new upgrade. I posted a while back how many times I have upgraded and/or changed my setting since I got married. Well this is year 10 and it is no exception!

Diamond Stats (GIA)
5.02ct
J color
VS1
Old European Brilliant
10.63 - 10.81 x 6.77 mm
Size 7.5 (when I told my jeweler my size I said “unfortunately “. He asked why I said that. I replied with the old saying “the smaller the ring the bigger the bling” as in the way it looks. Lol)





I looked for quite a while for an old european or old mine. I was really worried about the color. This is the lowest I have gone. But I really don’t notice it. Maybe because it’s bezel set or maybe because I love her many facets. Either way I am just thrilled!

You are not lying when you say it’s hard to capture the fire and beauty of an old cut. But I tried! Thanks for looking!

Congratulations on 10 years and finding such a beautiful stone to mark the occasion!

 

[sjroberts]

Thank you all so very much for your sweet words!!

The diamond was sourced from Abe Mor Diamonds in NY. He also had the setting made for me using my instructions.

CVB made my last setting but to be honest I couldn’t wait that long. Lol! So I just used inspiration from a past bezel I had, added milgrain and boom!

I am missing the finger coverage of my last ring. It was a 3.01 I think and had a halo. So this looks pretty much the same size as the current diamond with just the bezel. This is my 7th reset in 10 years so I’m thinking it won’t be long…

The facet pattern is similar to my OEC, and I have the same ring size.
