Wow! What a gorgeous ring! It fits perfectly into your amazing collection. You have a little bit of everything with those three rings, halo, color and gorgeous facets. That jeweler sounds like an amazing find all on his own. Congratulations!

That's a big piece of real estate! :lol: Care to share the mm of your EC?

I LOVE these! They remind me of the Rene Lalique pieces at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum! Are you getting them? :Up_to_something:

And I know, those enamel pieces really do belong in a museum!

I'm sooo glad you got this!! Beautiful, congrats!!
I'm here to see if hubby noticed yet, lol.

Hah! My husband would assume a new ring was fake. He is used to me buying $30 knock-offs to wear around before I go for the “real thing.” He always tells me, “I think that fake one looks GRRRREAT!” :lol:

Ok so. I didn’t set out to find this ring. She found ME. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. There’s a jeweler near where I live who always has the MOST amazing estate pieces. Museum-quality stuff. I would pay him to just spend an afternoon going through his trays in his safe, his collection is that extensive.

So a few weeks ago I was dropping off a repair on a bracelet, and just on a whim popped over to see if he had anything new or special. And like a moth drawn to a blue electric zapper, I was immediately drawn to this ring. I’ve always been enamored of emerald cuts but my preferences were pretty specific: rectangle but a bit of a chubby rectangle. Slightly warm body color. Not too chunky - just a nice hall-of-mirrors effect without any dead zones. And I love half moon accent stones. And there she was. And here she is.

Specs:
GIA 5.51 J/VS2 emerald cut. No fluor.
~1ctw half moons (one of them has a tiny chip at the girdle - not significant enough IMO to want to go to the trouble of getting it recut).
~1.5ctw melee in the band. Platinum. Finger size 6-1/4.

Fun fact: my husband hasn’t noticed yet. Let’s see how this plays out:twisted:

It’s Dallas Diamond syndicate in boca but they are SO old school, no website or Insta or anything! I want to go beg the guy to let me create an Insta for him and just post pics of stuff! (Like i don’t have enough going on in my life lol). But I volunteer as tribute!

That is awesome!

If your hubby didn't notice that, you have too much jewellery... ;)) :lol: lol


I try the same with watches - my good lady says 'they all look the same to me' but then notices a new one every time... :( LOL

Wow, a 5 ct emerald cut would be my dream ring! Great find and a nice addition to an already great collection!!!

(My husband wouldn't notice, either. There are things that I can't even remember if I ever showed him! )
