I ended up with a bunch of promotional credit to RealReal that expired last night so as much as I don’t want to admit it, I gave into the marketing and bought a ring. It has the most odd specs that I’ve seen. The center stone isn’t accounted for and then at the bottom in the “non-weighted” diamonds, it lists a 5.8mm so I’m guessing that’s the middle stone. I can’t tell which diamonds are brilliant cut — most look euro to me. The 3 largest stones don’t appear to have the big puffy crowns that I love but we’ll see.
I figure I can always return, especially since the specs are so wonky but it looks like a pretty substantial ring for the price. What do you all think?

Calling all PSers for input! Decision making is so so hard for me! I just received the ring and it’s sparkly to my eye but so on the fence given the price.
Pros
The setting is weighty - I love that
Looks pretty sparkly
Cons
Center stone is warm. The other two stones are lighter
The 3 center stones measure at 5mm (no idea where TRR got 5.8mm)
Under a loupe, there are a few nibbles to the girdle
I’m very cost sensitive and for this purchase, I’d want to know I could sell it for something close to what I purchased for (between $3000 and $3600) because sometimes life happens. I’m still learning and definitely don’t have the eye of some of you for good diamond cutting patterns, etc.
I’d LOVE some input to consider as I make my decision…![]()
For me, personally, it's a like it, don't love it. I want to like the design, but it reads a little higgledy-piggledy.
That is exactly what was making me pause but I couldn’t put into words what it was. I like the idea and concept but my eye isn’t sure where to go. I like separate parts of it but when looking at the whole thing, there’s no “centerpiece” or anything taking my eye in a fluid direction.
Once I can get things into words, it’s far easier to decide. Thank you for weighing in!
Isn't it funny how just one or two little things can make or break a design? Personally, I think it's the way the center 3 stones are set. Something just doesn't seem cohesive with the rest of the design. It has mashup vibes, even though I know it's not.
I would be absolutely shocked if that first ring were morganite. I know TRR isn't always the most trustworthy but it just doesn't look at all like any morganite I've seen..... I'm no expert, though!
I think they're both lovely pieces. To me the bracelet looks a little big in circumference, but I'm more thinking of how it would feel on me. How does it feel on you?
Which will you wear more? By your description, it sounds like the bracelet is more limited in its wearability. As an aside, it’s not the first time TRR has gotten a carat weight wrong even when it is stamped right inside.
I don’t think the ring looks like costume at all. It looks like morganite to me and the pink sapphire is really pretty. I love the bold “shield/target” design, and looks fantastic as an index finger ring with your engagement ring.
In my opinion, while it may not be custom, the ring not something you see everyday in the general public (at least not in my experience) whereas that style bangle is more common.
I vote ring, but go with your gut. Ignore all the peripheral noise, what are you most drawn to?
I love the ring! Beverly K was a very respected and popular designer in pricescope 10-15 years ago when people bought a lot more designer pieces of that ilk. I’ve always wanted something from their line. This one is spectacular and fits right in with your diamond ring collection… which, of course, we need details about! Those rings are amaxing!
The bracelet is gorgeous as well but the ring stole my heart.
HI:
The ring. Unique and eye fetching, while the bracelet is pretty but mainstream.

Thank you! I was really drawn to this style and it had been in out of my cart for awhile before I finally pulled the trigger to see it in person.
I think subconsciously once I looked up the ring online and saw so many similar ones, it lost a little of the specialness for me. I was trying to place the look, and I realized that Ivy and Rose online sells similar setting styles which are also available for mix and match combos. One time I had asked my local jeweler about making a custom ring based on an antique design I had photos of; he pulled out a huge book that was basically a book full of standard antique style settings that could be ordered and he would put in a center stone etc. I was very turned off by the idea! He was so kind to offer, because it would have reduced the price by a lot, but I wanted something more unique.
I actually had a diamond that I bought an Ivy and Rose setting for awhile back, and it was very affordable and quite pretty, but it just seemed so mass-market to me. In the end, I sent it to a small jeweler who specializes in restoring true antiques and he made me an amazing new ring (though it took over a year, the guy was really nice and skilled).
So, to lead into your next question, my two other rings are actually David Klass creations. The one on my right hand is my wedding ring diamond, on its 3rd setting now, the diamond was crazily expensive by current standards (back before labs crashed the market), like more expensive than my car. I would never get rid of the diamond for sentimental value, but I got bored of the setting. I sent David some photos and ideas for this diamond (on the subject of TRR rescues, the two carree diamonds on the sides are from a TRR rescue brooch - a stick pin with 4 carree diamonds). Actually, the other two carree diamonds are now in the remake of the Ivy and Rose ring that I remade that I mentioned above! So my collection is a TRR rescue by bits and pieces! Anyway, I don't know that I would design a ring half from scratch again because it was very time consuming and complicated, tiny details to pull my hair over that I had never considered. I based the ring on an emerald center from Cassidy Vintage that I had saved years ago and made a few changes combined with other rings I had saved and using my center diamond. The ring on my left hand is my second ring that made with David Klass using a diamond I had and 100% the design of a real antique ring that was "the one that got away", I had purchased it about 7 years ago, but the center stone had a big black inclusion that I could not get over. I asked if I could just buy the setting, and they said no, so I had to send it back. I had about 10 photos and videos of the original antique ring on my finger that I sent to David, and on the first try he made it 100% perfectly, it was so easy and I am so pleased with it. It looks way better in person, but here is the post on his page.

Beverly K is way higher quality than Ivy and Rose, with better crasrmanship. They are a much higher end brand. Ivy and Rose makes inexpensive settings. I wouldn’t compare the two in terms of specialness.
Your DK rings are gorgeous.
Thank you, this is great to know. The quality does seem really high.
One thing that I have realized with the custom DK rings and with this Beverley K ring (vs true antique rings) is that a little wider/rounder band is so much more comfortable! The bands on my true antique rings are so thin that they dig into my skin a bit.
To me the ring doesn't look mass-market at all, for whatever that's worth. I think it's beautiful and it looks very well-made. I saw it on TRR too and thought it was beautiful and a good buy. But you have to feel good about it!
Thank you! Your opinion is worth a lot! I was realizing that all of my other rings are either 1) Antique 2) Custom made or 3) Designer, so this is new territory for me. Maybe that is why I was unsure. This may open a whole new world for me!
Thank you so much for your opinion! I would say I was 70% yes for the ring and 90% yes for the bracelet initially, but now I am feeling more like 80% overall. I would say that I tend to rotate my jewelry and wear the same "set" for a few weeks to a few months at a time, and then switch it up, on an ongoing basis.
I have wanted a bracelet like this, but my main concern is if it is too close in style to the brand name version, because I do not want to wear something that is borderline "dupe", but if it is just a generic style, then I think I would wear it a good deal. One one hand, the hinge is not very luxe looking, but on the positive side, I really like that the hinge and the clasp are way different than the brand name version, because I want it to be clear that it is not trying to be a copy.
Here is the brand name bracelet I referenced.
Thank you for weighing in on the tourmaline vs morganite question. I don't really know anything about either one, other than that tourmaline is more costly, I believe. Now that I have looked more online, I think it may have been available to order in both gem options?

Do you know how I can tell the difference between morganite and tourmaline?
Thanks for your opinion!
I would call Beverly K a designer. Not as high priced as Tiffany etc but in the mid range. Try searching here in PS if you are curious. Many people own creations from them.
Well morganite and pink tourmaline both have a range of colors, so it could be either. Now that you have purchased it, maybe you can take it to a local jeweler to see if they can tell you definitively which one it is. It is pretty either way, so if its tourmaline, you just got an even better deal!
