"Panic" buying?

I read a couple of times today that the price of gold is falling, not sure how that's going to work out for PSers but it seems a bit strange.

Glad to hear there are incoming stones! I am excited for you and can’t wait to see the ring. Just pack up the old one and drop it off and send money. After that, the waiting is the hardest part!
Have you chosen a three stone setting?

So, the stone will be sent out on Monday! Yeah!

I have a pretty good idea what I want for a 3 stone. I'm planning on yellow gold with white gold heads/prongs. Something like
this...Its a trellis setting that I've modified to have baskets. May or may not add small donuts.

Edit...I also have to buy another .46 stone. The one I currently have is a "J". Wonder if I could do an "I" or if I need to stick with both
the same color?

That would be awesome! Something we could really use right now...but I thought gold was also going to get a tariff?

I really like that and like that the center stone has six prongs. Who will do the setting?
I know that others have had different color side stones. Since they are smaller, the color difference might not matter at all.

Gold prices have fallen a bit because people who invest in gold usually do so as a hedge, and therefore hold both gold and stocks, and many hold leveraged positions. When the markets spiralled downwards many investors have had to sell some gold to cover their market losses. End of the week usually brings margin calls.
 
I just panic bought a leg of Jamon Iberico de bellota. At least I’ll eat well while Rome is burning.

I can’t play a fiddle anyhow.

Very nice! I would add donuts. We talked about this a lot in @bee24 thread about her three stone.

I think you can easily go I color, my five stone diamonds are at KL and I can’t tell them apart. I also have an HI pair of OECs and they look identical. These are all GIA graded. I think it’s more of a mind clean thing.

Not true.
I'm sure everything happening is VERY good for billionaires.
Nobody else matters, including a certain 77.3 million American voters.

Billionaires, baby! :dance:

DK will be doing the setting. I got a decent quote late last year, but I bet it's gone up since then!

Hopefully not too much! Should be beautiful!
 
I wrote in another thread that I lost a bunch in the stock market (as I'm sure many did). I said I was gonna stop shopping, but oops, taking advantage of a few things.

Today, I bought a pair Madewell trousers on sale for first time.

I've given all my yellow gold jewelry to my daughter because I've been white gold only for years.

But today, I suddendly felt I want yellow again, so bought a 24" yellow gold wheat chain.

I'm trying to resist more.
 
Maybe the lowest-end full-frame mirrorless Canon camera that I've dawdled on for many months. Have casually watched the price bounce around. It did not move last week. Not buyin' it from Amazon that's for sure.
 
Not me, and not jewelry, but my daughter has needed a new iPhone and I told her to go get it while there was still inventory in the local stores before the tariffs hit, and told a friend he better go get his new car (he was planning it but procrastinating) as it was an import and the cost would be going up. Both did what I suggested......Me, nothing of any importance that I'm needing, so just trying to buy a bit less.

Did you receive the diamond?

I did! And she's a Keeper! She's an Expert Selection 1.71 I/SI1. Not much bigger than my 1.66 K, but I can appreciate the lack
of tint (even though I love my K 90% of the time).

Diamond | 1.716 ct I SI1 Expert Selection Round Cut Loose Diamond AGS Certified | 2671389

This fabulous 1.716 carat Round Ideal cut diamond has a clarity grade of SI1 and color grade of I.It is an excellent choice for engagement rings. | 2671389
www.whiteflash.com

Here she is with my .46 J stone next to her. The .46 is in a pendant I'm trying to cover up to get a better size idea. Not a great
picture...its in the clear plastic container from WF that holds the stones flat. I'll have to get some better pictures!

My next move is to get another .46ish stone and get it all in the mail to DK. I'm ready to get this done and enjoy!

Looks beautiful! I think you made a great choice. I can’t see any appreciable color difference from the I to the smaller J so you should be good to go. So happy for you - I know you have been pondering this for awhile and I think you will be very happy! Keep us posted and congratulations!!
 
I'm so glad you're moving full steam ahead on your three-stone, tyty333!
 
Thank you, @MissGotRocks ! Yes, I've been pondering it way too long!

Thanks @Kim N ! We'll see how fast full steam ahead goes! Hoping for no distractions!

I'll probably post CADs when I get them from DK to make sure I'm not screwing anything up. Always helps
to have a few extra eyes on it...stay posted

I've looked at this thread about a billion times trying to figure out what I want...Sometimes I think bigger then other times I think these
proportions are perfect...indecision and over analyzing have been my mode of operation lately. Its so easy when you're advising on
someone else's pieces but when it comes to my own ???

Thread '3-stone ring Girls - are you out there?'

I thought I'd start us a thread. 3-stone rings seem to be a bit less 'popular' than the large door-knocker solitaires (though there's nothing wrong with those, either!!)...so I thought maybe some of you would enjoy playing in this sandbox with me...

Here is mine....it currently resides on my engagement finger, as my sapphire engagement ring from 21 years ago is lost....until we get another one made up, this one was given to my by my Sweetie to keep my ring finger warm.

I will look out!

I also struggled with proportions for my three stone. I went with smaller sides. They are 0.30 and 4.3mm. I like the look a lot. But I’m also thinking of larger sides in the future. Smaller sides looks a “precious” to me now. Delicate. It makes me think of the blush of youth. Larger sides feels mature. Balanced. More blingy lol. So I love these .47s with your new stone. It’s a mature and bold look.
