Yes or no? It would be for my 50th..I feel like maybe it's gaudy? Is that sacrilege?
 
Very pretty! Congrats!
 
YES!!!
 
Lovely! Looking forward to more pics!
 
Thank you all! I'm sooo happy with it! It's not as big as I thought it would be/feel. I had them put the pendant on a small dbty chain that I can wear by itself & all under budget! 20220115_153206.jpg20220115_150020.jpg20220115_153153.jpgI 20220115_170721.jpg

Holy moly that’s amazing! I love it! What are the specs of the diamonds / metal?
 
Yes to both as I believe they are lovely.

DK :kiss2:
 
All oecs except the chain. :)
 
Beautiful set and a very happy birthday to you!! So happy you bought them!! Enjoy!
 
yes yes yes yes!! beautiful happy birthday!
 
I love them both! The dbty chain is so fitting for the pendant, it gives it a special vintage vibe. They both look great on you!
 
Happy Birthday! Also I love that while you were initially worried about it looking gaudy, you doubled down on the bling by putting the pendant on a DBTY chain. That’s brilliant! :cool2:
 
Happy birthday and not gaudy at all!!!
 
Happy big-birthday, and this is gorgeous, rather than gaudy! The pendant and chain are swoon-worthy, in particular. Congrats all 'round!
 
Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I was planning on a 5 stone band for my b-day so this was out of left field! Both are way bigger then I usually wear but sooo sparkly. Once we put the pendant on the dbty chain there was no going back! And I think I can still swing a 5 stone band! Or diamond jackets for my studs to match!! The hunt begins!!

I think these two antique pieces would really anchor a collection and give you room for buying a band or earrings etc. 50 years requires something really special and this is it.

PS, I’d love to hear your decision making process from the start. Like, are these the first old cuts you’ve owned? When did you decide you wanted antique cut stones, what was your inspiration? Where did you connect with these pieces (you don’t have to tell specific name of store) but did you have a favorite antique vendor that you found these in, or was this serendipity? I’m also curious what inspired you to pick a dbty chain, which really is perfect.
 
Gorgeous pieces. Happy birthday! Wear them in good health for many years to come.
 
What a great way to celebrate being halfway to 100!! Amazing ring and pendant and genius pairing it with the dbty chain ❣️
 
Happy Birthday and Congrats on the two gorgeous new pieces!
 
Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I went food shopping this morning just for the lights! ;)

I was given my Grandma's rings when I was young & I was hooked on vintage! My engagement/wedding band were art deco found at jewelry/pawn shops. Same with my upgrade a couple of years ago. I buy alot from etsy, rubylane, ebay, loupetroop & psers but I try to check in at the pawn shops when I am looking for a piece. Yesterday I was in the area so figured I would stop in & check if they had any 5 stone bands & couldn't get near the vintage pieces so looked at the dbty necklaces. Finally got to the vintage area saw the ring & pendant. I loved both of them but really thought the ring was (mm wise) way to big for me. So I left saying I would think about it. Second guessed the whole way home lol showed pics to my family (which honestly is no help) started to drive back & turned around went back home. Posted on pricescope cause ya'all do understand & then panicked because I thought someone else was gonna buy it before I could get back! So back I went. Started talking to the owners wife & while waiting for a time frame on sizing we looked at the dbty necklaces again (they had a really nice juicy one) & when we put the pendant on the dbty chain it was perfect. Long, long story to say it was serendipity!
 
Here is a pic of my pawn shop finds except for the yellow gold flower cluster (not including my diamond studs)20220116_143141.jpg
 
The 2 top rings were my Grandma's.
