Some of you may remember a ring I tried to buy earlier this year, I posted about it in RT. To make a long story short we tried to buy the ring in person in cash but it was listed on Ebay and the seller would not end the auction, had we bought it on EBay we would have ended up paying more, I was so ticked off, if you are a reader here is the original thread:

I've been on a bit of a shopping spree this year, there have been many lovely old cuts I have found, apart from a really stunning three row diamond band, nothing has really scratched the itch of the ring that got away. It sounds petty and spolied because they are all beautiful but they just didn't hold a candle to the other ring. As a result I'll probably be selling them in the near future.
I was looking at comps recently on Etsy and came across this ring, it looked nearly exactly like the one that go away. I asked for more pictures and a video but I'm the end decided I had to see it myself so I bought it. Mind you I really have bought enough but if I had let it go I wasn't sure of the chances of finding another like it again, you know the feeling!
Here it is, now I do not have a color or clarity grade but to me this center diamond is pretty white, G or better, looks relatively clear and has one small diamond on each side that makes the center look larger, a really ingenious illusion setting. The diamonds on the shoulders are single cuts and the band has a lovely fluted design on the sides. It is all 14Kt white gold. The center diamond is .40 carats and the total with the other small diamonds is half a carat.
There is no sun here today (always the way when you get new bling right?) so these are the best pics I could get for now. The first ring is the one that got away followed by the new ring,

The fact that it’s a bit more refined is a plus.
