SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 OEC DIAMOND RING ENGAGEMENT RING UPGRADE
Mreader shared this unbelievable fireball with us and I think I am blinded by the sparkle in all the best ways. Look at the colors in that beauty, I cannot get enough! The facet pattern is magical, those pastel lights are perfection. This wasn’t the plan for the next piece of jewelry for Mreader…but the best laid plans sometimes fall through. It seems to me that they were lucky that it worked out exactly as it did. This ring is just jaw-dropping, we always love when PriceScopers land their holy grail piece! Congratulations!

SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 TYCOON AND FRENCH CUT DIAMOND RING
Diamondhoarder shared this Tycoon and French Cut Diamond Ring with us and WOW. So, Daimondhoarder thought that the jewelry collection was complete and that there was no more shopping to be done. Then this ring appeared in an antique store and changed everything. This shop owner was seemingly underprepared for a PriceScoper at the top of their game. Once all was said and done, Diamondhoarder got a great deal on this, and the salesperson was adamant that it was an Emerald Cut. Once home with a loupe in hand, Diamondhoarder not only verified what they already knew- that it was Tycoon and not an Emerald, and that it had a GIA number. It turned out to be a quarter of a carat larger than the vendor realized! This was an incredible purchase! Congratulations, Diamondhoarder!
The Tycoon Cut Diamond is “THEÂ ONLY DIAMOND WITH A DIAMOND ON TOP.” It is internationally patented, and can only be cut by a few of the world’s most talented craftsmen. Each TYCOON CUT Diamond over 0.50ct is laser inscribed with a unique serial number and accompanied by a GIA Grading Report for authenticity.

Carat Weight: 1.27ct
Color Grade: G

September has been sensational, keep that autumnal bling coming. The holidays are right around the corner, and there will be sparkle aplenty and I am ready for it! I know you all are too!
Thank you for sharing your magnificent jewels with us and helping to celebrate PS members’ pieces every week! We look forward to seeing the newest additions to your collections in the Show Me the Bling! forum.
