I didn't really have a turquoise piece on my list but I would have made an exception for this one!

@lulu_ma the turquoise one? I love them but they are becoming so $$$ because of gold prices. They need a lot of gold to make them sturdy for turquoise.

Yes, the turquoise one. The bezel bracelet is mine

But it’s in the PS family so I’m not mad.

So many pieces over the course of the past 18 months, saving for my HG…. Someday this spring it will be my turn … she is worth the weight, cause while all these pulled on my heart strings… nothing holds a candle to her


3.45 I/IF Erstwhile Edwardian
She was the one for about a year, sold this past Valentines Day

They're all beautiful but for me that three stone!!

That 3 stone was an AB Marielle, 3.01 I/J … the faceting on that center stone was truly incredible

I love that Edwardian moval

I have a few that haunt me.

The first I’ve talked about on here a few times. A little orangy brown French cut. It was listed on eBay. I was negotiating with the seller when a dealer swooped in. The dealer then listed it at an eye watering markup. I think about this guy so often it’s ridiculous. I hope to have it recreated someday. I reached out to Gem Concepts about recreating it awhile back but they ignored me.

Next up: this 1.8 ct French cut heavy platinum ring from estate diamond jewelry. I didn’t have the funds at the time and was saving up when it sold. I’ve casually thought about recreating it with lab but I can’t seem to bring myself to jump on the lab train.

And finally, this brown moval that Alex park sold last year. I didn’t see it until after it sold. I totally would have purchased it.

I thought of her brownie that she missed out on right away … can you imagine that in a rose gold setting??!

Awww thank you for thinking of me! I’ll admit I’ve been eyeballing that stone! A rose gold setting would be to die for! it’s so me, but the money is so not there . I just bought and set that moval, and that little ST, and I’m commissioning a massive aquamarine with Jeff White. Also currently house shopping. It’s a shame. Timing is everything.

Well, everything happens for a reason…. Happy house shopping though!!! So exciting!

Well, add one more to the list.
Luckily she wasn’t my HG, but she was one of my backup plans, and it does make me nervous…. April needs to come fast

Only the most incredible Edwardian antique pear diamond ruby ring to ever exist … yes, someone bought her, and no it wasn’t me. How RUDE!
