EC 2.0 ct. DBL platinum Ring

[Mayk]

So life comes at you fast... And sometimes change is necessary... My husband is broken hearted I'm sending this to Grace next week. Trying not to change my mind...but a new house and a 16 year old that needs a safe car in January have me feeling guilty when I only wear this only one or two days ... A week..

One of my favorite PS rings, MayK. What's the price range are you looking to sell?

Hi Baby Monster,

I don't know actually that's why I'm sending it to Grace. It's more money than I want to deal with on paypal and she does a much better job at value. I know what the retail was but I know it will be less. I just wanted to give a heads up if people were interested to reach out to Grace after next week. When I know I will update the thread.

You are so sweet. I'm so glad you love it!!! I get the kids in college thing. Two...one a senior out of state and a freshman in state. We feel your pain and the freshmen is about to Rush.

Oh Mayk I'm sad you are parting with this beauty but totally understand the need to put your kids first. You are such an amazing mother!

Anyhow I'm totally interested in the ring, though not for me. My younger brother is planning to get engaged soon so I'm on the lookout for him. I'll let Grace know I have interest.

Dust for quick sale regardless!

Oh Mayk! I can't believe you are giving this one up! It's one of my all time favorite EC rings. I understand why you feel you must do it totally; I'm putting up some of my things on JbG for similar reasons. I hope it stays in the PS family. Best of luck with your sale!

Wow, look what happens when I am on vacation followed by getting a child off to college back-to-back!!!

I hope to eventually get an EC but definitely not now. I was just looking for your thread to see size perspective of the center stone because we wear almost the same size (other than you have much longer, more elegant fingers!). That's how I found this thread!

I hate to see you sell this, but it is a beautiful ring and should make someone very happy!

DS I know you know what it's like... Two summer tuitions w/room and board we were not planning for... Then everything about a new house costs way more then you plan (that loud sucking noise is my savings account .. But the house looks good ). And then DD turning 16 and needing a car, when I started looking at the prices I realized I was wearing a nice safe car on my right hand... So off to Grace along with my DS Acquired Memoire, my 1 ct diamond Bangle and this lovely EC treasure. (DH didn't want me to sell it and I held it the longest but in the end I knew it was right). The Memoire and Bangle sold before they made it out of the sneak peek... Not surprised both lovey pieces!

Hope your DD is settling in at school! I would love nothing more than to see you sporting my EC. {{hugs}}

I totally understand 150%!!! We had camp, a mission trip to Africa, and then freshman year college tuition plus clothes and books (all for youngest daughter) in the last two months! So that is why I am not able to buy anything expensive for a good while! We did the new house 4 years ago and it took me awhile to recover from the purchases related to that! (She is doing great and loves school, thanks!)

I will give you one bit of unsolicited advice. We went and found a good, used, OLD (9-10 years) Toyota Corolla for our daughter. It had about 100k miles, so it will be good for at least 100k more! The best thing is that you don't have to have collision insurance on a car of that value! They are good, reliable, and safe cars. A paint job for a couple hundred bucks made it look like new! I honestly wouldn't put a 16 year old in a nice newer car. Don't let peer pressure steer you in that direction (my thinking, for what it's worth)! {{{hugs back!!!}}}

 

[Mayk]

We did exactly what you did with my Stepdaughter, she's driving a Corolla... With DD we are looking to kill two birds with one stone. We were thinking of finding a clean 4-Runner (2003-200 so we would have an SUV at the house for yard stuff. I'm a big fan of Toyotas having owned a number of them and they do run forever!

As for the house, everyday my list of wants/needs grows and we've only been in 10 days!

 

[luv2sparkle]

Mayk, I am sorry you have to sell your lovely pieces, but I am so with you. We just had to buy 2 cars and now our 18 year old is driving our honda civic. I hope it sells quickly and you can get all the things done you need too. I'm sure there will be days ahead that you will be able to replace your lovelies. That ring is such a gorgeous piece!

See that's why I would've made a lousy mom.
I'd keep that ring and tell the kid to get a ride with friends.

LOL that wouldn't make you a lousy mom.... You would just be better at tough love than I am..

She's not thrilled I shipped it off, the little rascal is always asking when I kick the bucket if she gets my jewelry.
