Thank you @maryjane04 I love that one too.

Rose cut diamonds are just so magical.

They truly are! I just lent my mum my rose cut ring and she loves it and has been showing it off to her friends. I remember when I first got it years ago she already had a soft spot for it lol.

Thanks @maryjane04 for weighing in, it really is a rather interesting diamond. No was surprised too by the seller’s indoor pics vs the selling glamour shots.

@joelly, wow that is an amazing rose cut cluster!

Today I did what I don't ordinarily do.

I bought a new piece of bling that WASN'T on my long-term wish list.

I bought a preloved Fabergé egg pendant!!!!!!!!!!

I think its all the stress I've been under work-wise these last three weeks. I was ready to pop, blow a gasket.

I've always loved Fabergé eggs, and honestly I really need a necklace. I don't have any necklaces at all other than a plain gold chain and a strand of Mikimoto pearls. With all the Zoom calls I'm on, my neck has been feeling really bare lately. I have a peach-colored silk blouse I'm hoping this egg will look fabulous with!

Thoughts on the color of this old mine cut?

It looks darker, but that's OK! I think the low color ones are interesting and exotic.
I have a darker one, it's probably an O or even lower. But I love it.

Have I seen this darker color ring? If so I don’t remember it, if you have a second and can take a picture that would be great!

I love this photo! Your mom is so cute!
And the ring is nice too!

I can tell your mom is smiling really big even though her face is hidden! Lovely!

Thank you both. She was so happy to have it. First thing in the morning she asked me to take a photo of her with it hahaha. Its a beautiful ring that needs to be worn and shown off so I'm glad my mum is able to give it a loving home. I also reminded her that Rose cuts get dirty quickly so she needs to clean it regularly. She has a morning routine of brushing her teeth and brushing the ring too lol.

Long ago, a girlfriend had the dirtiest engagement ring. She wore it constantly and never bothered to clean it. As a last resort, I suggested to her that she scrub it a little while brushing her teeth, and she started doing it! Not an ideal solution, but it worked for her!

It's this one. Pawn shop, OEC, just over a half carat. I posted about it a long time ago. It faces up pretty bright in certain lighting, and in others it looks moody.

This photo was taken before I had the prongs re-tipped.

I would love to see more photos of this diamond! The first time I looked at it, It looked pinkish to me. The Ostby Barton setting makes it even better :)

@stracci2000, I am really not color sensitive apparently because that diamond does not look that low color to me. It is super pretty though!

@Paisley2628, this is a vintage ring I had favorited a year ago and then it disappeared and now it’s back again! I came upon it going through my favorites trying to clean up my list.

I really am in a rose cut diamond kind of mood.

what do you guys thinks? Should I get one of this or should I keep looking?




Gorgeous!! My vote goes to the first one. Very sophisticated

I like it very much, it is charming. I seems like an LMNO. A slight bit warmed than my L was. On par with my old cluster.

If you like, hit me up to talk jade! I love the topic.

I need more education on the subject, for sure!
