Please show me your rings w/3ct.+ centers!

[kaylagee]

I'd love to see rings(engagement, solitaire, right-hand ring.. any design) that have a center diamond of 3cts. and over. I'm not sure if there's already a thread like this but I haven't found one yet in the search function.

I'd also like specs(if known) and a note whether it was a 'starter' engagement ring, upgrade, "just because" treat, or inherited piece. Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, I can't kick off this topic with a photo of my own. LOL! Maybe one day!

 

[Maxine]

Hopefully, Lizzyd will post her new ring!!!!

It''s been 24 hours, and no hand pics!!!! HURRY....
(Sorry, Kaylagee, I don''t have one to post,either!!

Hi, Kaylagee!!

Here''s mine: I inherited this diamond from my mother. Dad bought it in the ''60s, apparently it was an estate piece, a solitaire, from the ''20s/''30s... I had it certified and remounted with ECs about ten years ago:

3.91 cts; E, VS1
Sides: 1.20cttw; E, F, VS1

I had this ring several years before I''d ever even heard of an "Asscher Cut"!

Oh widget,
You lucky lucky girl!!! Ok let me die now cause it''s soooo pretty I might have a heart attack!!

 

[Maxine]

Widget, what a gorgeous ring!!!

 

[cflutist]

My one and only e-ring from websailor. 3.01 ct F-SI1 Pear.

 

[widget]

Thanks, Kaleigh and Maxine!

I know how lucky I am...

It's funny...I had the stone remounted BEFORE I got hooked on talk forums (fora?), and if I had it to do over I'd do it differently. The stones sit quite high and the ring tends to "roll". Also, I would have picked asscher sides, had I known better...

Not complaining, though!

Widget,
What are the sidestones?? The look like square emerald cuts?? I think the setting is amazing, so why does it roll, is it too big?? You should start a thread just for your amazing collection alone. It is one of the nicest I''ve seen and I''ve seen quite a bit.

clutist,
I just adore your pear what size ring do you wear??

clutist,
I just adore your pear what size ring do you wear??

Size 3.75 (skinny fingers). That's one of the reasons I like a pear, its longer/more narrow (12.99mm x 7.93 mm) than a 3 ct 9.4mm RB would be.

FYI, websailor has got small hands too - size 7 (for our matching set of channel set diamond bands, I had to order a woman's size 6 then size up to a 7 because they would only size down from a standard men's size 10 by 2 sizes).

 

[rms]

we of course always love to see your pear cflutist.

But widget, were holding back on yours? It is gorgeous. How about some hand shots, or at least tell me what thread it was posted on before.

 

[FireGoddess]

Wow Widget - what a fabulous ring. It does look like the sides are asschers...are they ECs??

Cflutist - LOL about websailor''s ring...I have the opposite problem with DH that no one makes a men''s ring in a 13.5...they usually have to make a new one from scratch...can''t resize any of the current stock!!!

I guess the sides are "squarish" emerald cuts, since the certs don''t say: "Square Emerald Cut". The ring wants to roll because of the "elevation" of the mounting. That "thingy" on the inside of the shank is supposed to help. Here''s pics...sorry about the "old" hand!

Cflutist: Your ring is GORGEOUS!!!

What are the dimensions of the pear? I bet it looks HUGE on your petite hands! Yum...

[Kaleigh]

Widget,

So Widget, I guess your love of estate/vintage jewelry was inherited!
I am totally in awe of the deco bracelets you''ve posted before and I think I''m the second to request this, but how about a post of all your amazing jewelry?! Your inherited diamond is amazing and I bet you''re "hiding" a few more pieces from us

! I''d also love to know where you purchase the majority of your vintage jewelry...your taste is divine!

 

[widget]

Hi, fountainfairfax!

You''re so nice...yes, I have a few others I haven''t posted...but you must remember that I''m OLD and have been doing this for a long time!

I''ll go post a few others on a new thread...but honestly...it''s sort of embarrassing!

I''m sort of crazy...

[elepri]

Wow, that asscher ring is amazing! I don''t think I''ve seen it here before.

 

[Jennifer5973]

Thanks, Nan, for posting my ring.

Widget, that asscher is delicious!

 

[Christy42]

Widget! I

that ring! Can you adopt me?

 

[Christy42]

Woo!....I like this thread.....Jennifer I think your wedding set is one of the most beautiful I''ve ever seen. And I used to not be a big fan of rounds. I''m coming around........


Firegoddess my husband has huge fingers too. 13 -13.5......Getting him a ring isn''t a run out to the store kind of thing either!


Cflutist, that is one awesome pear!

Ok, I''m going to bed now. I can''t play.........I''m only at 2.5 and I can''t stop salivating!

 

[kaylagee]

Thanks so much girls! I''ve had an exhausting day but it''s great to check in here and see the lovelies! Please keep them coming!

(waves to Widget!)

I''m trying to get to sleep early tonight... perchance to dream of giant gorgeous diamonds.

This is PRICESCOPE, remember ? Being crazy about jewelry is not known around here

Can you imagine what "crazy" means relative to Pricescope standards ???
