Please keep it - you won't find another like this.
I’m keeping it as is.
I had a few wobbly moments thinking it should be in a proper antique setting but the craftsmanship is just so good on this setting that I think it matches for that reason alone!!!
Plus, I just like all the romance of the sparkly bows :))
Thank you!

Ok. Fell in love with the setting but the opal might just be temp until I find a better stone. But for now, I love it.

I found these vintage rings in my mom’s house a few years ago, after she passed away. I never saw her wearing them; she was not a jewelry lover- so I think they might have been my grandmother’s. I rediscovered them today after forgetting about them because they were too big on me. The silver lining to a nasty bout of coxsackie: my fingers grew half a size, and now the rings fit!

Just recieved this sweet OEC ring! I bought it late January, but due to the Royal Mail hack delaying international packages, it just got here today.

So white! It was described as an I-J color, but faces up super white (in my opinion - but I'm not a color expert!). Its about 4.4 mm in diameter.

I'm not in love with the band, but I do quite like the head of the setting with its flowery shape and many prongs.

Please excuse the dirtiness, it hasn't had a clean yet -- I got too excited to wait!

I'm waiting for these 3 beauties in the mail - antique ruby diamond pendant (1910s), pendant made from Victorian antique diamond stick pin, and snake ring dated 1889. The snake ring has never been modified and has all the hallmarks, including the date. I need to find someone to make it smaller with beads so I can save the hallmarks. s-l500 (1).jpg s-l500.jpg

Wow!! These are all beautiful, great pieces.

I feel the same, about not wanting to destroy hallmarks.

Got a new one in today! Victorian split pearl and turquoise 9 kt ring.

With hallmarks for Birmingham 1877! And a maker's mark (second image) inside a rectangle that I'm 90% sure reads ".F.B." -- but why would there be a dot before the F ??

The gold has seen better days, but I'll probably leave it as is.

Recently picked up this ring on eBay. The seller took lousy photos but I knew in my heart she would be a beauty!

Two beautiful colorless OEC diamonds set into a repro Art Deco bypass setting in 14kt WG. My jeweler is in the process of having it appraised and mentioned how beautiful the diamonds are. He thinks it will appraise for approx 4x what I paid for it.

I have such a soft spot for old cuts and have another OEC beauty en route from Ivy & Rose!
