I don’t think I’d be comfortable wearing anything $100k size, but I have a list as long as my arm of smaller items from my dream list and could easily rack up a cumulative virtual 100k on those.

Although, a fancy coloured diamond (green or blue, please) could probably ratchet up to $100k in a size I’d still be comfortable wearing for daily use.

Oops, I seem to have already spent a virtual total of $200k without even trying...

I'm proud of you @lissyflo A true PSer through and through. :appl:
And just for you I give you 200K for this project. :bigsmile:

A ring like Liz's Krupp.

Is this the ring?

yes please. Though just like a true PSer I don't think this is within budget. But I grant you the money necessary.:bigsmile:

Okay, I am sticking to the original question, otherwise the thread will be totally off topic!

Just give me an afternoon in Van Cleef and Arpels. I wouldn't be able to buy but one set of something, but it would take me awhile to choose! Here are a few randon dream pieces. There are others but I am only posting pics I have saved. (Rose gold set belongs to kama_s)

If I was only allowed one piece, I guess it might be a high color and clarity emerald cut diamond ring.

Nice! I think you and @LLJsmom might have similar dreams!

Well housewise, down payment on a house at the beach.

Bling wise... ummm the ruby & diamond necklace I once saw at Graff (alternating ruby & diamond hearts) . Oh and the matching earrings please.

Or a custom piece that includes a diamond heart, a pink pear and a yellow diamond.
Not sure how it would all go together but for that money I'm sure someone could design it properly!

Naturally, I’d buy the biggest, most glowy paraiba money can buy. :kiss2:

Second choice goes to a fellow PSer’s absolutely STUNNING blue diamond ring. This one totally made my heart pitter patter. Unfortunately, the $100k limit won’t even take a nibble out of that guy. :cool2:

Barring choices like investment and charity, if I HAD to spend so much on bling, I'd spend it on something like a non-costume version of this, studded with yellow diamonds and rubies.

I approve of all the above. Wholeheartedly.:appl:

Btw missy I love your Calvin & hobbes pieces!

Thank you!
I find Bill Watterson really sums life up very nicely with Calvin and Hobbes. :bigsmile:

With so much free time, I've really upped my online jewelry (window) shopping game. I have already "spent" that budget on items favorited and "in cart", lol. On the average day I could blow $100k with a 30 min IG scroll.
Would just love to be able to tell some sellers:
Yeah, just go ahead and ship that WHOLE display tray.

Can someone tell my why exactly VC&A is soooooo expensive? Or is it the label on the box that adds 50%+, like Tiffany does? lol


For me, $100k would get me a 3ct colourless VVS Octavia and hopefully a Yoram Asscher with similar specs, then I could pick and choose a RHR depending on my mood :tongue:
