Seeing your five stone again always makes me feel even more resolved to find another two diamonds so I can make my own!!!

Do it! It’s such a versatile piece! I wear it on the ring finger, pointer, and as a RHR. I do think I will reset them into a prettier setting at some point down the line but I love the proportions of the stones.

Yes it looks amazing. The three I have are about 5 mm each, though one is noticeably larger at 5.2. I and them appraised and they are saying H/I color but I have a GIA graded H color OEC and my suite is noticeably more tinted so i think JK, which is good for finding more stories for the set. I’m having a heck of a time finding a mate for the H stone! It’s so white! (I don’t buy retail so that’s why it’s harder).

I have been looking for 5mm stones but it’s so hard to find the exact size and color I want for the price I am willing to pay. Might be easier to do a graduated suite. I could find two 4.8mm stones or one 5.5 and a second 5.2… obviously the second option would be more money but bigger is usually better lol

Girl, office siren done right!

Bet you have secret bling admirers there wishing you would walk past their desks just for a chance to peek at your jewels, daily.

Not sure about all of that but they definitely know where all of my paycheck goes

Fabulous stack @Octave ! I love the Capucines! I have the same but with python trim. I wish I purchased the one you have, I don’t like having to baby the handle/flap.

@oldcutclubmember -

Gorgeous rings! I've been going back and forth about doing a 5 stone ring for ages. Could you possibly tell me the size of the center stone on your 5 stone ring in this photo? It's gorgeous! In fact - the proportions of all the stones in that ring, if you didn't mind and had the time - it's a stunner!

such a compliment, @mrs-b since you are the MASTER at perfect proportions!

My ring finger is 5.5 and these are antique stones so the measurements are a bit different from MRBs.
The ring is estimated to be 3.24 btw.
The center stone is 6.3 x 6.4 x 4.05 - approx. .97ct.
The next 2 stones are estimated to be .75ct. each.
The smallest 2 stones are estimated to be .4ct. each.

Well, we are really close on this one! My diamond is .96, my outer diamonds are 2 x .6, and I want to get 2 x .78 diamonds for spots 2 and 4! If mine looks half as good as yours, I'll be thrilled!
