Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

@elizat jump if you like one. All 6-6.5mm, nice cuts, below budget.


I think a PSer is selling this


In Canada but love the cut and it’s huge

 
I'm obsessed with antique and vintage bands lately but with large fingersand a thin budget most things are out of my reach. This seller has so many great vintage bands!!!


This is so sweet and simple. Thers another one on etsy!

 
I selfishly want to hide this ring from others bc I love it--but I have no business buying anything right now haha. I love this cut (at least from pics). Right on your budget, but the plat setting could be reused and looks nice



Can't tell exactly how good the cut is, but has potential IMHO

For others: can someone explain wtf is happening here? How is the stone held here???

Those look great! I think the top one in particular. I may try that!

This was great! I went with the loose stone that was 1.02. Returns are accepted. If it's not good, I will probably go for the one in Vancouver. That one is no returns, but looks beautiful! You guys are all great!

The men's rings were a bust for this. Nothing was very good that I found!

I really liked the last one. I would feel terrible taking it apart and scrapping a setting. I was definitely looking for something I felt ok taking apart! The last might be a great daily ring.... Or travel ring!

I hope you love it! With no papers I usually assume color and clarity much worse than described. I can sort of see a small white table inclusion in one of the images. It looks filthy though, so I’ll be very curious to see what you think and how it looks cleaned up. I do like the cut a lot. It looks cushiony to me, and that huge culet. Reminds me of the diamonds in my five stone in terms of era. It’s one’s would take a risk on if I was looking, knowing it would likely be more tinted and included than described. My eye sight is so poor I can’t see even huge inclusions anymore lol

Yeah that last ring is stunning.
 
OK who has 200k for a literal 20ct transitional cut? I’m guessing late 30s. It looks like something a starlet would wear to a premier .

Yep, it's so hard to see what it looks like! I think it has promise and with returns, it's safe. I will post when it gets here! The last one is really tempting to actually wear as is!
 
This is why I assign myself a specific project for a given period of time. Helps me resist temptation.

I’m stealing this idea…. My hubby and my sanity says thank you :lol:

It's in two carts?! Geez! Reminds of the Princess Diana dresses that just sold in Beverly Hills for hundreds of thousands each. :shock:

Maybe I can make an offer. Wonder if they'll take 10%.... Doesn't hurt to ask, does it?:lol-2:
 
Not antique, but a cute pink sapphire stacker for under $425 in 18kt. Allegedly natural stones.


This has three old cuts. The two you can see look like they may be nice. If you found two other side stones, it would be a pretty five stone band. Probably decent scrap gold value.

TWENTY carats girl!!!
 
My creature loving brain loves this little gator friend. Look how cute his mouth is!


Do we think the model photo shows the ring to scale?

It says 39mm long which is about 1.5 inches and 19mm wide which is about 3/4 of an inch so it seems like a pretty large ring.
 
If anyone happens across an old cut that is a reasonable price, say under $2000, can you tag me? Or email on LT? I am looking for a stone for a moi et toi to go with an oval blue sapphire that's about 8 x 6. I would like the diamond to be smaller, probably no larger than 7mm. The cheaper the better! I know that .5 is going to be too small for the size of the sapphire for the ratio I want.

I have been looking at men's rings on eBay and the like and haven't found much. Not picky on details, just wanted a nicely cut stone that's eye clean. I think something around 6 to 6.5 mm would probably be the best size to go with the sapphire.

This one has been in my watchlist for a while, I’m not sure if this falls under your criteria but it looks pretty white.

I was going to see how the light play was before deciding if it works better as a ring (I have 3 boys all born in April and would like a cool mother's ring) or if it is better suited for a pendant. Definitely will post pics and let you know if I return it ;)2 . Maxine is such a pretty stone, I'm glad you got her!

Think I'm sending it back. It is pretty and white but it just doesn't grab me like I want it to. The weather is overcast today, so not the best pics and all my videos are terrible! The center just doesn't light up like I wanted.

I can see what you mean. Looks kind of leak-y and mushy. Good call on returning it. The one that makes your heart flutter is out there!
 
Any chance the main stone is a circular brilliant? I see a tiny culet but maybe it’s wishful thinking?!

ETA: I see that the listing description says circular brilliant but the listing details say round brilliant. Hmmmm :roll: Also, it looks like the side stones may be OECs, not single cuts.

Thanks for reporting back! I'd love to see the videos. Do you think you might like it better on a sunny day?

I see a culet too!
 
This is a nice bracelet. If you are looking for Great Gatsby style bling. I’ve not seen this style backing but diamonds are antique and miligrain looks antique. Platinum.


A more affordable one. Platinum sapphires diamonds, geometric simple design.

 
@WhoaNelly and others, it's here, this is how it looks stacked. I need to make it bigger, it's 5 and I need 5.75 20250702_140701.jpg

Wait what? …going to search for backstory now! Looks great to me, whichever it is!


Backstory halfway down page, five stone ring.

@LightBright do we like it? I think it looks cute stacked like that.
It was not a fortune because the auction had those huge heavy 1980s Italian 18k gold chains and everyone wants those now.
