What single jewelry/luxury item would you buy TODAY if you could?

[Hayley87]

(I suppose this could also have gone on SMTB since we're bound to get lots of yummy eye candy here )

What one jewelry/luxury item would you buy TODAY if the money to buy it outright magically materialized? Would it be something you've had your eye on for ages, or something that you just saw in a magazine recently and think is fabulous?

I still can't make up my mind whether I prefer ACA rounds or antique cuts (OECs or antique cushions), but this antique cushion at Jewels by Grace is giving me heart palpitations right now : http://www.jewelsbygrace.com/2-29ct-antique-cushion-cut-diamond-gia-l-vs1



SWOON.

I'd buy that baby in a heartbeat and set it in something by CvB...maybe a Dahlia?

What would YOU get?

 

[baby monster]

A 4-5ct emerald cut diamond in a split shank setting. That's all my little heart desires

 

[Queenie60]

A 3 carat Emerald Cut diamond with traps on the side, set in platinum. My dream ring Dreams do come true, you know!

 

[valeria101]

I'd be asking Yoram for a bangle-worth of any of his signature cuts he'd choose & let the mail bring in what may ,-)

That's one of my favorite ring styles, Queenie! So classic yet rather rare to see; at least, I rarely see them around.

I would get this:

with this setting:

[heididdl]

Simple pleasure would up grade my studs to 3.0 ideal cut F color VS2 not much to ask for

 

[FeFeV]

Because I'm not greedy
I just want two new watches and two new rings to match

 

[Madam Bijoux]

This, from Graff--(12.84 carats, D color).

 

[Gussie]

3 tcw OEC solitaire dangle earrings in platinum and yellow gold....

Man, for a RHR, I've been coveting a Panthere de Cartier ring for quite a number of years ... the Pink Gold one with diamonds, emerald and onyx ... at over $20K it is definitely out of my range unless I win a decent lottery prize. The affordable non-pave ring just doesn't have the j'en sais quoi of the pave version ... which by the way I can totally see on my finger (in my dreams).

Je ne sais quoi? Oh, je sais quoi: it's missing diamonds!

 

[stracci2000]

The Krupp.

 

[BlingDreams]

I'd say either the men's Rolex platinum day date with ice blue checkerboard face for SO or a 2-3 carat OEC cut by Yoram himself, with setting to be determined

I was gonna post this ring to go with "my" Hublot

[elle_71125]

Without a doubt, I'd want Art Nouveau's 5ct cuprain tourmaline. The color is gorgeous and the setting is just stunning.



As a second choice (because there's no way I can limit to just one), I love this purple sapphire from Leon Mege. I don't need one that large but the color really speaks to me.

For daily wear...

 

[diamondseeker2006]

@elle_71125 Oh yes, that purple sapphire is fantastic!

This is actually hard. I'd probably choose a VCA piece. But I think I will answer with the first thing that came to my mind, which is a realistic item which I absolutely do not need!

It's JDDN's 2.59 AVC to add to my Yoram collection! I loved it in the CVB Giselle setting!

 

[Arcadian]

I'm not greedy, I'd be ok with this.



Ideally I'd like one of these double the size with a better cut. this one is 7cts, never set. For those who don't know its a cuprian tourmaline.

 

[KaeKae]

Hard one. My first thought was a two carat marquise, possibly an older cut, in a fairly simple solitaire setting, maybe split shank.

Another thought would to just take a magic wand to my current ering, triple it in size (so, 3 × .67 = 2.01 ) and maybe add some melee to the shank. (Wish I'd done that part at the start.)

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I should have posted this diamond ring I tried on last weekend. GIA Faint Pink, IF, 17 cts.
(Oh, and the price tag...$4.2 million)

Can you try reposting the picture? It's not showing--at least not for me. But based on your written description, I NEED to see it!

It should be there now! I was editing the post!

Oh. Oh my word. That looks Photoshopped, in the best possible way. Where did you try this on?? I think I would have broken out in a sweat wearing it (or, more likely, wouldn't have had the gumption to ask to try it on).

 

[foxinsox]

OMG DiamondSeeker - what on earth was that like to wear? I'm with Hayley, it looks photoshopped it's so big. Was it heavy?
My own if I had the cash right now would be this 2.57 ct faint brown OEC in CVB's Dahlia or EW's Grace with petal shoulders, in platinum to play up the colour difference.
Or this sapphire target ring set with an asscher or a rose cut instead.

 

[PintoBean]

I know exactly what I want, but must be patient and wait on...

I would like a Tiffany Rose gold bean with the chain extended to 18". The bean signifies for me the beginning of my new life.

For daily wear...

I REALLY want a MOP or Onyx Alhambra 20 motif yellow gold necklace for daily wear ... I think my DH is going to wait until our 1st wedding anniversary (February) to gift it. I'm not opposed to a gently used version from Portero or theRealReal. Fingers crossed.

The diamond and halo was so wide you can't see the shank, so that's why it looks photoshopped! I tried it on at an estate jewelry shop in a high end mountain resort. I took some pictures in another shop and I think the highest priced item I asked to try on was around $300k and I thought that was expensive until I went to the other shop!
