@Mreader - if it fits the brief of this thread, pls feel free to add it!

This thread is to compile trends that developed specifically on PS, PriceScope 'firsts', or pieces that people might consider the best examples of their kind. Anything you see that fits that brief belongs here, and can be added by anyone!

^ Oof -- too intimidating!

Ok @mrs-b two come to mind. First the amazing serpentine creation @Niel has:

Pigeon blood ruby double snake ring

2.12 tcw in 18ct gold. The making of cab be found here https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/the-making-of-the-roses.262432/#post-4877414

And the breathtaking Ruby and diamond ring that Sako created for @elizat

A Resplendent Ruby and Old Mine Cut Diamond Ring by Old Miner Jewelry/Sako

Forewarning- this will be a bit of a story. Photos will follow, of course. This is probably my longest running project. I have always loved a ring that featured an old cut oval, in an emerald halo, which the owner calls Gilda purchased from Jewels by Grace. If you "know" Gilda, you get it...

@Mreader aw, thanks! I think she's a lovely ring for certain. I really enjoy wearing her!

The ring that led me to Leon Mege was Reena's gorgeous haloed cushion and Leon's pave work. There are many, many beautiful stones and rings on PS. Impossible to choose. But Reena's ring will always be one of my fav.

I’m not sure who kicked off the Casablanca Halo trend, but I think it deserves a mention on this thread. I know I’ve seen at least four great ones on the boards over the years. Queenie’s is a personal favorite.

Well, here's a fairly self-congratulatory entry, and I freely admit it! But there's nothing like this on the Hall of Fame thread, and precious little on PS in general, so here we are.

This is Joy - my custom made enamel bracelet - 18kt gold, hand enameled and made by David Klass Jewelry. Most of the pieces are solid and the enamel is bright and cheery, representing some major loves in my life, and most of all, my passion for color. Joy was designed and constructed over a three year period and took more tweaks and reworks than any piece I've ever done. She was well worth it tho, and I definitely consider her to be an heirloom piece of art.

Is she iconic? That's for others to decide. But she's unique for sure, and has a very special place in my heart.

NB The oval and the rectangle have a different color on each side and each contain a small, warm, OEC. I toyed with the idea of a diamond clasp, but ultimately felt it would take away from the wearability of it.

Meet 'Joy' - my enamel charm bracelet by David Klass Jewelry

I've been working on this project on and off for about 3 years. Tweaking, retweaking, making charms - deciding they didn't hit the mark - then making them again. Some designs I thought I'd love...and didn't. Sometimes the colors needed changing...on and on...this project became nigh on to an...

This is a really cool piece!

Mrs B, do you have a favorite charm? Or, because each is sentimental, is that like asking which is your favorite child?

Just as a casual onlooker, I'm really drawn to the lemon.

If you didn't post her, I would have! Joy is the epitome of iconic. And all things wonderful.

Thank you for saying that, @Dandi. <3

I felt a bit funny posting her, but there really is such a limited selection of enamel on PS, and nothing with as *much* enamel as Joy has. I've been curating this thread for years at this point, so I figure it's my choice what goes in here or not - so Joy got a starting guernsey - altho I still felt a bit odd doing it. I think she deserves it, tho.

She absolutely does! Don't feel strange posting her, she is so widely adored, so really, you're doing the PS community a service

On May 2nd, 2021, @HS4S_2 posted a truly glorious ring. PriceScopers have been looking at gorgeous 3 stone diamond rings for as long as PS has been in existence, but three stone rings with colored sides are a much rarer beast.

So when HS4S_2 posted a stunning 2.16ct N colored OEC with almost 2ctw of OEC cut emeralds, set in a jaw-dropping Sierra setting by Caysie van Bebber, it was a sight to behold! A modern setting with a reverential nod to the past, HS4S_2's new ring combines all the best aspects of design, balance and style!

(...and just to add...that engraving!! Swoooon!)

Iconic indeed.

This is the center stone from a previous 3 stone ring. The side stones went to another sweet PS Member who had them made into beautiful earrings. This stone seems to have come to life in this setting! I will add more to this post after it arrives. 2.16 N OEC set into an 18k Yellow Gold...

Agreed! And it's an excellent example of tapered French cuts and the magic that can happen when old cuts and modern cuts are set together sympathetically.

Gorgeous!

This is one great thread @mrs-b.

 

[Cerulean]

I’d like to add one!

This is the ring that made me fall in love with old cuts, and one of the reasons I stuck around on PS. @EC8 and the most divine Miss M.

This is truly my favorite ring on Pricescope- and boy it’s hard to pick!

#JOTW - My Divine Miss "M" from OldWorldDiamonds

I just want to share my newly upgraded Ering that I am so excited about. My upgrade journey took a few twists and turns along the way, but I finally found the one! Many thanks to all the PSers who are old cut lovers; I have learned so much about antique diamonds here on this forum and contacted...

@mrs-b, thank you so much!!! I'm enjoying it.

I came across this thread not too long after I joined PS, and I still find DorotheaBrooke's Grey Spinel and Diamond ring one of the most breathtaking rings I've seen.

Gray Spinel and Diamond Ring + Capsule Jewelry Wardrobe

This thread is inspired by the lovely mrs-b, mostly because I bought her DKJ gray spinel, diamond, and platinum ring! I was not planning to buy a new ring now, but could not resist when I saw the listing on the pre-loved forum. I wear this now with my wedding ring, since I recently had my...

HI:

@iluvcarats Cartier charm bracelet.

#JOTW - I think that my Cartier charm bracelet is finally complete

This bracelet started unintentionally about 10 years ago when I found a vintage Cartier paper clip bracelet at an antique show. It is from the 70s or 80s and the serial number and Cartier signature are just faintly visible. I loved it immediately, especially because it reminded me of the...

Laughing here....

Why, thank you, @rungirl! I designed that ring and had it made some years ago - then sold it to @DorotheaBrooke about 2 years ago. I regretted it almost immediately, as the color is the best grey spinel I've ever seen. So last week, when she decided to sell it and threw it up on LoupeTroop, it just so happened that I saw it within minutes of her posting, emailed her, and it's now back home with me!

It's a beautiful ring - the proportions are just delightful - and both the gems and the workmanship are lovely!

Welcome home, little spinel! <3
