Thank you Daisygrl!

hi Anastasia, yes it is a rose gold band, you have great eyes! It’s a petite 1.4mm band from etsy. Although I may head over to the latest purchase forum to browse for a new band inspiration. I was thinking of CVB hand carved in RG to go with this ring. Thank you

My ring came in today, and I love it. I think this may be the FIRST TIME ever I'm thinking "did I go too big?" It's just day 1 and I feel like this is huge on me, so not sure if and when shrinkage will set in It's 2.4ct set on 1.8mm band, size 4.25. It's a bit of an upgrade from my previous 1.79ct.

I've enjoyed so so so many beautiful posts on PS, thanks for all the pics. This might be my first pic I'm sharing and happy to make this debut. I have seen amazing blings on here before but to have actually put on 2+ size myself takes some getting used to.

Anyways, thank you and in words of Pete the Cat, "Rock on!"

It looks so pretty and classic and honestly doesn’t look too big. Looks like the perfect size! Enjoy and congrats !!

ACA's looking great as always. But I love that ruby band as well! What kind of cut are they?

Thank you @AnastasiaBeaverhausen ! I honestly don't know exactly except to say square cut. I had a couple of estate jewelers look at it and I was told it is a very well made old piece, probably African rubies....if that means something

So cool that it sounds like a true vintage piece. I can't tell the diff between french cut, carre cut, etc. either. I just know I love em all!

Thank you so much @Cerulean !! Good to know! It is a true vintage piece that I just stumbled upon. I got lucky. The guy I bought it from was a little cranky but has been in the estate jewelery biz forever. He had very little patience for my questions

Lol a bit of crankiness is so much easier to deal with if it means we'll get a good deal on a nice piece, amirite?

I can add, my 10 year upgrade (which ended up being 11 years, 3 years married). Started with an light blue sapphire ring and finally got a diamond omc 3.6ct M SI2!

How gorgeous. The setting perfectly compliments your diamond, is it a matte finished gold?

Thank you so much. It's rose gold fully hand engraved on all sides. So I guess that makes it less shiny than a high polish finish.

Beautiful and chunky OMC! Is this a bezel setting? I love the antique feel of the ring.

Thank you so much! I love the antique vibes so it was only fitting given the age of the omc. Its actually a faux bezel with prongs. It's not a real bezel but I tried to give it extra real estate and even out its wonkiness.

 

[Dandi]

Oh @maryjane04 your new ring is STUNNING and HUGE! The engraving is sublime Congratulations!!

 

[maryjane04]

Thanks @Dandi and fellow Aussie! I wouldn't have been able to do this without all the inspiration from PS'ers. I'm a sucker for engraving lol even for a simple setting like mine, the engraving gives it so much depth.

Beautiful engraving, and I love the chunky old mine cut and the sort of fish scales look of the gallery. A beautiful design. Who is the jeweler?

Thank you so much!
It was actually inspired by @Elysian toi et moi pendant/earring with the basket. But that didn't have the milgrain on it. This was made by Alex Park of Parks Fine Group.
