Old cut diamond cluster ring

[ksmom]

Hi everyone! Wanted to share my impulse eBay purchase- a (Victorian, I think?) cluster ring, sold to me as containing approximately 1.35 ctw of old cut diamonds. Center stone is definitely an OMC and others are supposedly OECs but they're all pretty wonky. Sold as 14k yg but the metal seems rosy to me and matches my rose gold bands better than my yellow gold ones.

Has some serious finger coverage

Love the setting and the puffy profile of the center stone!

Thanks for looking!

I love love looove this ring! Super cute and fat wonky OMCs

I like the gold color too Looks great on you!

 

[SandyCheeks]

What a charming ring! I really like it with your band, is that a Van Craeynest? Colors of gold look like a perfect match.

I get so excited when I see a new SMTB post from you because I know I'll love it. And this did not disappoint! What a beauty!!

 

[woofmama]

That ring is darling!!! It looks fantastic on you! Great find

 

[VRBeauty]

What a fun ring! - and what great sparkle potential! Enjoy it!

 

[Smith1942]

Love it - and it looks great on you!

Beautiful ring! I love your VC band--which style # is it?

 

[Enerchi]

That's a fantastic find, Hathalove!! RG is just the perfect metal for you- and to my eyes, that's RG not YG. Loving the old cuts --- great purchase! enjoy!!

 

[ksmom]

Thank you for the lovely compliments!

Sandycheeks, good eye! It is a van craeynest band.
Plummiecat, this is the 917 band in 18k rg with diamonds.

I had planned on wearing this ring as a rhr but I am really liking how it looks alongside the VC band... Trying to screw up the courage to wear it on my left hand by telling myself these cluster rings were once worn as engagement rings (or am I making that up?) Either way, I'm enjoying wearing it like this for now!

I meant KsMom- but I had just been looking at another ring posted by hathalove and it was on my mind... I'm sorry Ksmom!! I knew it was you... but I own and operate a very feeble mind... apologies for my error!!

 

[distracts]

Wow, that ring does have serious finger coverage! I love the quirky charm of old cut cluster rings. Love it with the VC band. (You can totally wear it on your right hand with the VC band if you like them together but don't want to wear it on your left! I have several rings that I wear with bands on my right hand. There's no law about how many rings you can wear on any given finger!)

 

[madelise]

Gosh, they sure don't do clusters like they did in the past, do they!

 

[marcy]

Very pretty. It looks great on your hand.

 

[tyty333]

Its very pretty and it looks like its in really good shape. Nice find!

 

[yennyfire]

It is gorgeous!! What size and those babies??? The finger coverage is fabulous and it looks terrific with your band!

No worries at all Enerchi, I knew you meant me! I'm sure your mind is far less feeble than mine, I'm going on 3 years of poor sleep with my sleep-allergic toddler so I am loopy more often than not!

Thanks for the kind words!

Now why didn't I think of that! Thanks for the tip distracts! The ring is actually too loose on my left hand and fits better on my right ring finger... Hmm maybe that's a sign its meant to go there.

 

[ksmom]

Gosh, they sure don't do clusters like they did in the past, do they!

So true, Madelise! I've been on the look out for one for a while, but it's these Victorian-looking ones that really appealed to me.

 

[ksmom]

It is gorgeous!! What size and those babies??? The finger coverage is fabulous and it looks terrific with your band!

Thank you Yenny! the seller said the center stone is 35 points and the side stones are 11-14 points each.

 

[ksmom]

Marcyc, tyty- thanks for your kind words!

 

[ericad]

Gorgeous!!!! What a great find. I'm personally OBSESSED with cluster rings and just love this so much - enjoy it for many years to come. It looks amazing on you!

 

[Catmom]

Now that's a wonderful find. I love it!!

 

[TC1987]

Beautiful!

 

[hathalove]

This is a great find. Very pretty and love the overall shape of the ring. It does look more pink than yellow for sure. I actually love it with the plain band more. I know you said the other band was VC but where is the plain pink band from? Is it 14k or 18k?

 

[Laila619]

AMAZING finger coverage!! It's beautiful!

 

[star sparkle]

This ring is so fun!

 

[ckrickett]

I really love this. It's a dazzling statement piece if you ask me!
