This is my favorite piece from my mom's collection. The center stone is the first big stone my dad bought for her. My mom designed this pendant to play up the warmth of the center stone.

Oh I don't have pics of everything! Here's one more for you. My mom had matching jackets made for her 3 ct stud earrings.

My obsession with bling is genetic I guess :lol:

A few favorites. Queen Victoria on my middle finger she’s wonky and wonderful 7E15E6D0-7D3E-4C17-91D3-BE83E5E7B8A0.png

“Cornona” since she was purchased at the beginning of this madness.

And ”Margot” short for Princess Margaret. Because she’s an Art Deco party in platinum.

Right? It’s been a while since she has worn them. I should have her model them for me. She designed the jackets so she could wear them with her pearls too.

Totally! Your collection is so pretty. I’d love more details on your Queen Victoria. I’ve become obsessed with old cuts lately.

She’s an old mine cut cluster collet set. I usually don’t care for Victorian pieces. Theyre not as refined as Art Deco or belle epoque. But she’s lovely. Diamonds are wonky and one leaks light. But i like to imagine her at beautiful candle lit dinners in the early 1900s.

What a lovely sentiment! Sometimes the beauty is in the imperfection. I have a pink tourmaline I love that is included. But I just love it’s chunkiness. It looks like a big piece of candy to me lol.

In the last couple months, I ended up with one of my grandpa’s wedding bands, my grandma’s original engagement ring (the illusion setting was clipped off when she had a new wedding ring made), a flat band and a half round band both in rose, & reset my old five stone into a seven stone band in rose. So I’ve had a lot of new combination options to wear around my living room ;)2:lol-2:

Thank you! I’ve had it almost 10 years now and am still so happy with it!

It’s 1.22ct, 6.11x6.14mm, F color, VS2. My left ring finger is a size 5.75.

I want to post some pictures of the beautiful ring I received yesterday! It's an approx 0.9 L VS2 OEC set in an incredible handmade 18k yellow gold setting by Leen Heyne, a jeweller based in the Netherlands who I first came across on Instagram. His work is stocked in a few places but I worked with him directly and he was absolutely lovely, start to finish. Having this arrive in the middle of such a tricky time has lifted my mood no end! The side view and undergallery are my absolute favourite parts of this ring. Please excuse my chapped coronavirus hands and random nail polish - apparently I thought this would be a good week to try out nail stamping for the first time!

Three stone with an emerald cut emerald, two .25 carat princess cut diamonds, spacer, platinum eternity band and my wedding band. All the gold is 18K.

Wow! Where did you find this emerald, if you're comfortable sharing?

Clearly, you are a very sensible woman who has her priorities straight!

And thank you for the kind comments about my beloved; she's a beauty for sure. ::)

ETA. @xsouzie - can I ask who made your setting for your emerald cut? It's lovely!

Of course, the setting was done by DK.
