Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

you're totally right! The smallest stone on the shoulder was hard to see, and I was confused and thought that the 4 stones were the 1ct.

Yeah I think it’s a bit more modest in proportions given the ct weight is spread to those little guys too.
 
@Mreader don’t know your budget but I’ve been eyeing this but don’t have funds right now

Lots of unknowns, but the price is nice!


An update on this ring, which I ended up buying for the princely sum of $159:

I love it! The little diamond is clean and bright - a real firebomb. It never ceases to amaze me when I wear it in a LED-rich environment - LOL! The detailing is still amazingly crisp, especially considering that this ring is likely more than 100 years old.

I did bring it to my jewelers to have it sized and to have the prongs checked and tightened. The servicing cost more than twice what I paid for the ring! One day that lesson - which I seem to have to keep learning - will really sink in. Oh well. It hasn’t diminished my enjoyment of this ring. It does have me on the hunt for a new jeweler, though - at least for repairs!

This is a SCORE
 
Anyone in the market for an antique asscher? It’s going to auction by Hess and comes with a GIA cert—5.36 H VVS2. It’ll probably go for a bonkers price before premium.

How is it they determined an antique cut?

We should pool whatever is left from our 401Ks, buy it, and take turns wearing it. Like a Pricescope commune.
 
@Mreader I stumbled across this beauty: 6.49ct GIA fancy intense yellow old mine brilliant set in a Victorian flower cluster ring with OECs. Look at that sweet high crown—swooning.

It’s auction so who knows?
