The first look…..share yours!

[YadaYadaYada]

This thread might not go anywhere because I’m not sure if I’m the only one who does this.

When you find a piece, do you take a picture/screenshot of it? It would be neat if we could share that first look and then a picture after you received the piece. Also, did it meet your expectations?

I’ve deleted most of mine to make room on my phone but I have a few, let’s see yours!

Haha I love this thread @YadaYadaYada
My very first look at Bubbalah

October 2016 at the antique jewelry and watch show in NYC




@LLJsmom was with me and it looked (IMO) even better on her!



And yes it has met my expectations all these years later.
The longest a diamond has been able to do so to date haha

@missy, I love it! If I remember correctly though you didn’t buy Bubbalah at the time right? I wouldn’t have been able to walk away from that one

That's right. I waited an entire year haha. That's how I knew it was the "one"

These are the few I was able to find:

This is the ring in my avatar, found on RubyLane, the faceting got me.

My anniversary ring is the top one on the ring finger, an IG find, stopped me in my tracks.



Queen of Hearts ring, EBay find, she is even more gorgeous in person

Aw thanks @Smith3, I was out all day with the kids and went to jump in the shower and thought I would check IG. Well that post popped up and I was so freaking smitten that I was messaging the seller in the shower

Hahahahaha, I have DMed sellers in the bathroom more than once (mostly during the kids’ bath time) lol

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Ah @oldcutclubmember, I knew there had to be at least one other person who makes important bling decisions in the bathroom!

 

[Smith3]

It was a video but I spotted it right away and messaged because I liked the shape, I screenshot the video. Terrible quality pic, I think I need a new phone lol

 

[YadaYadaYada]

This is gorgeous @Smith3, I love deco and this is about as deco as it gets right here.

These came today. Not sure they need a thread, but I am still gushing over them!
Vendor's Pictures:


My pics -first look:








No maker's mark. They test at 14k. I do think the flower parts within the flower are probably gilded sterling? unsure. Sweet little mine cut diamonds though.

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Love those @MMtwo! That last picture really shows the detail on the flowers and that cute mine cut.

I was recently active on a thread in hangout about EGD vs LGD. At the same time this arrived I picked up my big lab ering. But this tiny (probably .10) old diamond has more interest for me. I love the care and workmanship of vintage.
