Princess Eternity Ring

[Smith1942]

Here's my princess eternity ring. It's 9 diamonds totalling half a carat, G colour, set in 14k white gold. It was $1,000 from E.B. Horn but I got it on the tax-free shopping weekend. It was about $100 cheaper than Blue Nile's offering which was I-colour diamonds, anyway.

My goodness, is there no end to the beautiful bling? I love it!

 

[Smith1942]

Thanks, Rosebloom! I've got a Tiffany lapis set to show, a Tiffany bows set, a Tiffany E colour pendant, a pear diamond halo necklace, a set of classic/premier pearls from Blue Nile, four custom pieces from BGD and WF, and my new D colour diamond studs which will be here in a few weeks. That's it! I have a whole bunch of stuff under my previous screen name, Smith1940. And then, I am going to retire from jewellery buying! I promised myself that I'd get everything I wanted at once, then I won't pay the escalated prices of the next few decades.

Your collection is insanely awesome.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Rosebloom. I absolutely adore my jewellery collection and have spent a lot of money on it. You'll find pictures of the rest of my collection under my previous screen name, Smith1940. As I said above, I have tried to complete my jewellery-buying in my thirties, so I don't pay inflated prices over the next five decades! I'm also quite limited in what I like - I prefer classic solitaire jewellery, studs, small simple designs like the cross and the Tiffany bow, and the odd gemstone piece, but I'm not much into things with a lot of intricate design or size. I prefer to wear the jewellery, rather than have it wear me, if that makes any sense. So what this means is that now, at this point, I pretty much have everything I want, jewellery-wise. I can't think of anything I don't have that I crave.

So, I've put together quite a collection over the years, including pieces from the years when I used to travel a lot for work. You'll find images of a 24-carat gold ring from Dubai under Smith1940. I've taken a lot of trouble over my jewellery-buying and therefore it's very nice to hear some compliments on the Smith Jewels!

Thanks YT!

And yes, Enerchi - a group trip to E.B. Horn is in order. And to the Diamond Building in Boston, too......

I used to live in Boston, and loved looking at EB Horn's window. I didn't know they had such good deals.

 

[Smith1942]

I know, I was really surprised. I was sure they would be more expensive than online, but it's not true at all. They usually outprice Blue Nile for jewellery, and their diamonds are F/G/H at the lowest, whereas all Blue Nile's jewellery pieces are I colour. But I've never bought loose diamonds from E.B. Horn, and they also made me a crap offer for my stud upgrade. I prefer to buy loose diamonds online so I can see all the proportions and angles. But as you can see, I've had some great pre-set rings from there, also a pendant, a pre-owned Tiffany platinum DBTY bracelet, and probably more that I'm forgetting right now.

Enerchi - yes, the stupid diamond building is very well-hidden, with the result that I had no idea it was there until I'd cleaned out E.B.Horn, which is on the high street. Don't expect too much from the website! They are an old, old business and only a fraction of their stock is on the site - also, I don't think their photos or info are that good.

Yes, me too Jereni! I love the square look for a change, since most of my other stuff is round.

Thanks for your comments, Motown and Marcy! This ring is a lot smaller and cheaper than so many of the 1 or 2 or 3 carat eternity rings on here, so I wasn't expecting such nice comments!
