What to do with Art Deco OEC ring?

[CoffeeAndDiamonds]

Ok. I think my recent RHR might have been a bit of an impulse buy. I loved it when I bought it a month or two ago, and I still love looking at it. But it doesn't get worn. Not sure if it's because of the color difference with my engagement ring, if it's too much finger coverage for a RHR, or a bit of both.



The 3 stones (between 3.5mm to 4.5mm) are nice and sparkly though- so I was thinking I could reset them into dainty solitare necklaces and layer them together (inspo pic below). But, I love the history of antiques and the thought of dismantling the piece doesn't sit super well. In that case, I could try to sell the ring, and use the $$$ to buy a pendant instead.

What would you do?

Sell, definitely! It’s such a pretty piece and it would be a shame to take it apart.

Based on the love shown to @Asscherhalo_lover's new ring, which is similar to yours, I would keep it intact and sell it.

Sell it to someone that will treasure it and love it as is.

Thanks @Snowdrop13, @PintoBean, and @arkieb1 !! I'm feeling the same and leaning towards selling

I agree, sell it! It would be a shame to dismantle it.

Another one voting to sell. It's such a beautiful antique ring. It would be a shame to dismantle it.

Good luck with your sale.

Definitely sell.
It’s very attractive and worth more intact than separate diamond value and gold scrap for the rest of the setting. Plus you’ll pay a premium price to get those cute diamonds set, if you want a sweet diamond pendant, I’d go for “ready made”.

Glad you put this lovely ring up for sale and I hope it goes fast. It is lovely.
