September is nearly behind us, I feel like I am still trying to get through 2020 and it’s almost 2022! Bring on the October goodness though; I love that crisp air, fall leaves, apples or pumpkin everything. Thank you, September, your job is done. Welcome, October!
Ac117 shared this vintage Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra pendant in 2016. I love how this sits on her neck, and the color is fabulous. This look is instantly recognizable with its classic shape and style. There are so many PriceScopers who are ready for their own Van Cleef & Arpels additions to their collections! This is a beautiful pendant and I hope that it is still making ac117 smile. Inspired by the four-leaf clover, the Alhambra collection is sure to bring luck to the owners of its pieces.
SMC posted this stunning 2ct diamond engagement ring in 2013. Wow, this is a real beauty, that delicious James Allen diamond in that Kalee Sholdt semi-bezel setting. *chef’s kiss* This ring looks amazing on her hand and even photographs beautifully. We all love an engagement ring, and we hope that this ball of light has been worn in health, wealth, and happiness in the years since originally shared!

Plasma800 shared this incredible Whiteflash A Cut Above® Princess Solitaire Engagement Ring in 2011. This ring got Plasma800 the YES a decade ago and it looks amazing on his then intended’s finger. We hope that the love there is still as beautiful as this ring. Solitaires are classics for a reason, and this Princess sits so pretty in that setting.

MadisonGirl shared this Harry Winston Round Brilliant diamond engagement ring in 2012! This ring is a jaw-dropper, what a lucky lady MadisonGirl is. MadisonGirl was on the hunt for her engagement ring and she checked out several of the luxury brands. When I say that MadisonGirl is a lucky lady, I mean it. Not only did she find the diamond that she wanted and was able to have it set as she liked, but she also got a family discount! A discount on diamonds is a dangerous thing, that would require even more self-control! For her engagement ring though, we love that she went for her dream ring! We hope she is still in love with it!

Alisonia33 shared this amazing and romantic heirloom OEC that was reset to create her new engagement ring in 2012. Wow, this diamond, though not set as a ring, has been in alisonia33’s family for 120 years! It was put into a halo and created that classic look that she was after while carrying the love and dreams of those who wore it before her. This is amazing and looks incredible on her hand. Her fiancé was even just a tad nervous about the actual proposal and asked with the ring box backward. Little details like that are so special when it comes to the memories of life’s milestones. We hope it is in her family for another century and most of that on her hand!
