After some back and forth, I finally got my ring back from IDJ mid-July [late, late post]! On this post, I was told that my ring would be remade with a slightly different open basket setting (since the original ring was misshapen/uneven). Fast forward a few weeks after I sent the ring back...

I don’t know how many of you already know this about me but I kinda have a things for pink spinels. I just love them. :kiss2: I started with a Mahenge spinel from CvB, which I am crazy about, but it tends to be more cherry colored (hence her name, Cherry Bomb). I still wanted a straight pink...

Oops I did it again. Sorry, not sorry! Meet “Buttercup” 14k ‘bloomed’ gold, circa 1910, with a 5.3mm old cut. Probably an H/I color as this is whiter than Edwina’s official L. And probably an SI for inclusions visible under 60x, but the kozibe prevents anything seen at 10x so who cares, right...

Hello fellow Press! One of my custom made bangles has finally landed! Hooray!! I have been saving for these babies since January of 2019! Working overtime, teaching a summer course, making sure I have X amount of dollars in our savings before I jump down the rabbit hole and I did it! I am so...

Here she is. I have called her Aurora. She is a one off creation from Greek designer Theodoros Savopoulos circa 2014. Thank you to PSer member ForteKitty for allowing her to come to Australia and live with me. Stats - centre Opal is Approx 33 carats. The pink sapphires total .80 carats and the...

SHE IS HERE!!!!! I received my new diamond today... May I formally introduce, Faith. Faith is a 5.208 round brilliant ACA, H color and VS1 clarity. She is set in the whiteflash broadway 4-prong platinum setting. This ring is a dream come true and I feel so blessed to have her. I want to give a...

Copying @JPie’s post to SMTB. Huge thank you to her for making this all happen. She organized and form us together and reached out to stores. It was so fun!! Thanks to @LLJsmom@strawrose@Rubymal@Miss Marple@luckyhonu and @mvmgems for coming out today! Here’s our Infinity Gauntlet, with special...

Hello! Had this ring set a while ago, wear it everyday. Finally have time to come back and post this lovely ring. Thanks for everyone who helped me on selecting the diamond! This beautiful diamond is from Whiteflash, while the setting was made by a “no-name” in my home country when I traveled...

I'm so pleased to share the custom pendant that Maytal Hannah created for me to commemorate my 15 year wedding anniversary. Long story and lots more photos below... I marked the occasion by resetting my original e-ring diamond, a .38 ct uncerted mall stone that I hadn't worn in many years...

Hi Pricescopers! A wonderfully matched pair of 0.85 N color AVRs on Jonathan's August Vintage Inc. website happened to catch my eye recently. I thought it would be such a shame if they weren't put to their best potential use - milgrain bezel studs! However, I was hesitant about the color; I had...

I thought I’d share my newest little lovely since I wouldn’t have found it without PS! A few months ago @Rfisher and @Hounddog posted a 10ct unheated aquamarine from Ivy and Rose. I had to have it! I have several aquamarines but none quite this shade and it’s the perfect size to wear on the...

I am so excited to introduce you to my new Rolex Submariner! She is a 116610LN, fresh from our local AD yesterday. (And yes, she still needs a name!) This watch is so special to me because it celebrates a couple of very special achievements that were a long time in the making: my recovery from...

As some of you know, I had been looking for a new EC diamond for quite some time (a couple of years). I was trying to balance my budget w cut (first and foremost and then w clarity, size & color). Not always an easy task. I am finally at peace w my purchase (thank heavens) and I can say that...

So I've been asked to post my bracelet, and I'm sorry it took me a little while! Please indulge my slowness. I'm always thrilled to show my goodies. Anyway, meet my OEC Tiffany Deco 10 ct. Platinum line bracelet. I think the bracelet is late Art Deco because the diamonds look like they're...

Took me a year to finally give in and have my reset done. I knew I just wouldn’t be happy till I did it. I love it!

Hi everyone! I've been shy. But I'm going to show this because only PS'ers will understand. :) So anyway, I had this ring made and received it two months ago. I'm still can't believe it's mine. 8o) GIA specs are: 5.01 carat center Fancy Intense Yellow VVS1 Even color Round cornered rectangular...

I had the dilemma of choosing between an Emerald cut and a Pear. The Pear won. Happy with my choice as I prefer EC's over 6cts and not wanting to go down to a lower colour than an "H" at this point in time. The setting converts to a pendant. 4ct HSi2.

My eternity band from Whiteflash has finally arrived. I’ve been waiting about 5 weeks for this beauty. But you know what they say- good things come to those who wait... So without further ado, may I introduce.... 7 ct eternity band: 14 x 0.5ct, ACA, H color, VS, plat Annette u prong setting...

I had a 1/4 carat version of this from a national jewelry store and recently lost it. At first I thought I'd have Whiteflash make me another one with their 1/4 carat ACA melee. Then Brittany at Whiteflash suggested this setting and a larger diamond. She didn't have to twist my arm especially...

I can’t be the only person here who likes to memorialize vacations (big ones, not a rando weekend away) with a special piece. We went to Greece for a family wedding that conincided with my 40th. I went to the famous Byzantino Jeweler in Plaka Athens for a ring. They are known for hand made...

I am on a roll today with SMTB. I have also posted this ring last year in the vintage forum. This is an unheated 9.5 carat Burmese sapphire. It was my grandmother’s, but I am not sure if it was given to her or inherited. The style is Art Deco so I think probably given to her or purchased by...

As some of you know, I like pink. I’ve acquired a couple of fairly big stones over the years, and planned to set two this year. First up...a 5 ct Tajik spinel I got from Gene several years ago. Hubby agreed for me to set it as a birthday gift from him. Inspired by the beautiful ring belonging...

Here she is! I bought an Afghan mint tourmaline from Jeff White a few weeks ago, and David Klass made the setting in platinum. He picked the diamonds on the sides and did an amazing job! Details: Platinum, 7.1 grams, set with .81cts of G color, VS clarity pear shape and marquise diamonds, size...

Hello everyone! This is my first ever post, but I’ve been stalking the threads for quite some time. Please let me know if I’m breaking any thread rules as I’m not the best at following instructions. :oops2: I’m actually very shy, but my wonderful amazing superhero of a boyfriend (now fiancé...

I am so exited to share my new ring! It is a 20 yr anniversary present from DH. Center stone is a lovely 2.10 H/VVS2, 1.50 tcw emerald cut H/VSI sides stones. Not sure if I like my band with it, maybe something more delicate? Anyway love the size on my hand and how the sides perfectly compliment...

I first learned about Victor Canera on Pricescope, and reached out to him when I was thinking about resetting my emerald cut ring (a 3.6 ct GIA K color center emerald cut diamond with side trillions). Just wanted to share the extraordinary outcome, with huge thanks to the PS community for the...

Hi! I wanted to share my preloved, new-to-me, ring. I am not sure re what age it is, the seller had two similar looking rings from 1930-1935. I wont speculate! It has five round old cut diamonds, ca 1.15 tcw, approx H-J, VS. The diamonds all have small culets. In between the prongs there are...

Please indulge me as I post lots of pictures of a relatively tiny ring. :mrgreen2: Here is my new .46 G SI2 AVR set in 18 K white gold. I bought this AVR intending to set it as a pendant, but I haven't decided whether to bezel or prong set yet. I decided to put the AVR in an inexpensive ring...

Happy new year to you all! After many trial and errors I finally have my dream diamond and setting. I was a bit hesitant to use a vendor I've never worked with but I could not be more thrilled with the end result. Jonathan Weingarten/ August Vintage INC managed to source this beautiful diamond...
