Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

@Dreamer_D You're killing me today!!!! My finance guy just called, too - "Do you need any money for the end of the year?" Hell yeah! :lol-2:
 
Another gorgeous old cut five stone for a nice price. The setting is beautiful too. From the UK.


They won't ship to the US. Can't blame them, but it sucks!!!! :x2
 
Why do I like this??? No idea, but its one of those times I feel a strange affinity for a piece. Maybe because it reminds me of a tassel and I collect them?

@lovedogs me too! This is my first (so far) Victorian, 22k. I always look for silk ones for drapery. 20251023_120959.jpg1000037689.jpg1000037689.jpg
 
This one might not be to everyone's tastes but it's 1.5 carat of asscher cut diamonds in 10 grams of platinum. The seller will take $800 for the ring. Not sure if it's truly vintage but I get a vintage vibe. https://www.ebay.com/itm/387844506656?_trkparms=ni_actn:nav|ni_nt:SellerInitiatedOffer|ni_apos:1|ni_sg:1|ni_pos:1|ni_st:NEW|ni_wh:1|ni_nid:771147666183|ni_nsid:387844506656|ni_et:1740114537133|ni_bn:1&_trksid=p2380424.m570.l5997&ul_noapp=trues-l1600 (10).webp

After much hemming and hawing on my part I bought this ring! For the diamonds obviously. They are carre cuts.

Based on this very technical picture the seller sent and the estimated carat weight, each diamond appears to be about 2.8mm and about .13-.15 carat. I ended up paying $800 which is pretty amazing given the 10g of 95% platinum should have a scrap value of about $500.

The diamonds look really nice but we shall see! No clue about color or clarity but seller says no chips or visible inclusions. Seller said no returns in their messaging but eBay international shipping (which cost me an absolute fortune) allows 30 day returns soooooo :evil2:

I think it might fit my pinky finger so I might have to rock this beast until I can figure out how I want to set the stones lol

It was not such a huge huge deal because shipping costs were very high (eBay international shipping is wild), but even factoring that in I think it’s an excellent price. I’m nervous because it’s venturing into territory I’m less familiar with — I’ve only bought OECs and transitionals before. But fingers crossed. Like, do I need to worry these might be labs lol??

All credit for the find goes to lisa loves shiney of course. I didn’t actually remember when she initially posted the ring but when I started my search I went back though the last year of posts in this thread to see if there were any leads and came across her post! I’m appreciative because if these diamonds look as good in person I will be so happy.

I even think they don’t look super duper white in the photos (seller refused to make any claims about color or clarity lol). Which would be good for me! I would like if they were slightly tinted.
 
Love this brooch

This one too

Not a fan of the setting, but i think the center stone has potential
 

I am seriously contemplating this! Dying to see what it really looks like. Description says the center stones are .49 so would that make the big one .30 and the other .19?
Thoughts?

It also says stone count 2 and I see more?!

Yes. The 2 compromise the .49 and then it says 8 others and only their size is described
 
I’m in love with this - but the emerald is too big for what I want to use it for. That pear is 15mm x 13mm.

Yes… I know, I know… it would be sad to take it apart.
But trust me, it would be AMAZING, sigh.

I want to turn it into a Georgian version of this ring …

I’m going to go cry in a corner right now :(sad
 
Not a small purchase but one of the most beautiful OMCs I’ve ever seen - some of you may remember this PSer’s ring. She’s releasing it. DROOL.

Curious what something like this costs - any ideas? She says $30k under retail, but no clue what that means.
 
This looks deliciously warm - and I love the side baguettes!
