You know that when you buy a new piece of jewelry it's like someone turns off the sun! Seriously no sun today but hopefully these do this amazing ring some justice.
A few people have asked "how do you let go of things and do you regret it after?" regarding selling my OEC diamond. No regrets and it's a process that starts with an idea and it takes shape from there. Also I felt very blessed to come across that diamond and wanted to share that joy with another PS'er so she went home to @stracci2000 where she is adored and that helps being able to let go.
I've read some threads lately (older ones) where someone will say that it was a journey to figure out exactly what they wanted and that's kind of how this went too. I've had illusion settings, Art Deco, mahenge spinel, colored stones etc, tried Moissanite to see what that hype was but in the end something was missing.
Here we have the result of a lot of thought. Requirements were Art Deco and platinum with a transitional diamond in a square setting and I wanted something more than a solitaire, it had to have an interesting setting but nothing crazy, it had to be wearable.
The seller I bought this from on Etsy was great, she offered me a 2 month hold with no deposit and would accept a return after purchase...sold! The center diamond is an F color VS1 half carat transitional with two marquise on either side and then single cuts surrounding. The prior owner had the ring completely checked over and prongs re-tipped so it's literally as good as new. It also has milgrain and a knife edge band that goes all the way around. The total carat weight on this is somewhere between .85 and one carat.
This ring is smaller than I need but I am actively losing weight so I'm not going to resize it, it is tight (you can see that clearly in the pictures) but it will be the perfect look once I lose some more and I also don't want to disturb that knife edge.
I plan on just wearing it as is without a band, hey since stacked rings were and still are a thing maybe one ring will be the next one!
Here are some pictures including my current collection, I realized after that I forgot my pink tourmaline band but I still have it!
