Excellent!!!

What are you going to do with it???

The initial project was To make a solitaire in a buttercup setting with a ring i already have
However the jeweller told me it was impossible to fit the stone into the setting. The diamond is 5,8mm and the paste set into the ring is 6,7mm .there is too much gap. So now i am wondering if i should find a solution to fit the diamond into the ring. This is an idea
Or if i should search another setting.

Hi there, I would recommend getting a new setting that fits your stone properly rather than trying to modify an existing setting. At the end of the day it's going to be more cost effective and a nicer result.

It doesn't look like the ship to the US, or I'd be all about those earrings too!

Please ask the vendor. I think they ship oversea but you need to ask her first.

How exciting! Congrats

 

[lulu_ma]

Congrats! Great score!

 

[Bron357]

Congratulations.
what a wonderful find.
Always intrigues me (I too have scored some “finds”) why vendors don’t bother doing a bit of research before selling!
Not complaining though !

 

[LightBright]

This is the best news! It is a diamond!!!!! I hope this gets you the diamond ring you have wished for. Congratulations. I’m actually very surprised, that bruted girdle really DID look like an antique diamond girdle, but the cut is not quite typical to see. (Maybe this is a French antique cut?). I also read recently that Georgian era diamonds WERE backed by foil, so that might explain the foil backing on the setting. Maybe its a much earlier diamond cut than I’ve ever seen! This is the best news, so happy for you.

 

[LightBright]

Regarding your setting idea. The buttercup setting will give the stone a larger appearance and those long style prongs really give diamonds a lot of visibility. I love the style. There are often empty antique settings to be found on eBay. Keeping the same Buttercup style will look great.

I am so happy for you

Congraduations on a great find !
Your intuition was correct all along

I mean if it had just been a piece of glass it was still beautiful and would have made a pretty pendent
but now its a diamond you can justify spending money on a setting

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

I had it deleted because i was mad somebody was very negative about it back then. Well now i regret

I remenber your thread
Im sorry your feeling got hurt

I think a lot of the time with the internet its not intentional, its just how things read from far away

im really glad you came back to tell us the news its real !

I am very happy about it, ahahahaha you remebered the debacle with the foil backing and frosted gridle. What an adventure ! About the cut i really think it's an early oec i wish i knew how to upload a video here so you could see how it perform. I made a gif with the stone but the gif reduce drasticaly the quality of the image.
