Ok, this isn't a specific item for sale, but I was in the diamond district on my lunch hour, and walked by my favorite place to drool/oggle/window shop/fantasize, and took a quick video and a couple of photos for you all. Everything at Eric Originals & Antiques is just dreamy, and if I ever I win the lottery, they will be one of my first stops. I hope you enjoy!


Apologies the quality isn't better. The spotlights they use make it a bit difficult to get great photos through the glass.

Thank you for sharing this bling!! Wish I could lunch and shop with you :)

I just fell on the floor! That is amazing. The tutti-frutti, the emerald bracelets, the everything!

Gorgeous!!! The crown!!!!

Just curious in the Instagram video I saw tinges of yellow on the center stone despite being labeled as a J. How is it in Irl? I wonder if it was just picking up the pink ring case since the photos you posted don’t show the warmth as much.
Thank you for posting this- I fell in love and I just bought it!!

It does have some warmth to it! The side stones are pretty white (G) so the contrast makes the center look more yellow. I actually don’t love the contrast but the seller has kindly offered to reset the main stone for me! It’s going to be gypsy set on its own, on a wide band.

Just a suggestion @springsparkle and feel free to ignore but I might seek out advice on RT forum regarding a reset. That crown is so tall that I don't know if trying to put it in a flush set or gypsy might pose challenges. I could be totally wrong as I am not the expert regarding settings, hence why I might call upon the experts in RT.

I believe the diamond will be set so that the crown is above the surface of the ring, if that makes sense. Here is a sample ring for reference! In any case I will double check with the seller, and revert back to RT for feedback if needed!

Thanks for replying! I was just curious since I’ve been on my own journey with omcs and figuring out how I feel about warmth.

Will definitely be tracking along to see how your reset journey pans out. You really snagged the “cutest” and bubbliest OMC that I’ve seen of late!

I think it would best to see the stone in person before setting it. And buying from a place with a good return policy. Ideally I would have bought the stone loose, then put it next to different metal types to see which I prefer with it. This ring, for instance, is set in 18k yellow but after having it I think the diamond would be best complimented by 14k yellow..!

As long as you're okay with more of a slight bombe style like above and understanding the table will be a bit 'proud' of the mount, it can be set this way. It would look great.

If you would, when you get it
Please post comparison pics of them worn together? :love:
Yes, especially to see the color!
Sorry for the long wait @Rfisher @Mreader ! Here are some comparison pics:
top is the new band that @lala646 found, bottom is my old one
diffused natural light (the old one is more vivid than the photo)

artificial light

so yeah, the new one is maybe half a shade lighter in tone. I love wearing them together, quite versatile as I can change out the ring stacked in the middle :)

Content warning: Contemporary ;)2

Kwiat for a tiny fraction of retail. If I thought I would ever wear them, I'd snatch these ear climbers up in a second, but I will not, so releasing them out into the universe for someone else to enjoy.

Thank you for the heads up, @lala646

Do you think you’ll set it into something different or keep the same setting? This is one of those awesome stories that deserves its own thread I think!
