Grace, my beautiful e ring, has had two little ones. :lol-2: Over the weekend I got 6mm , 8 prong yellow gold oec studs. Approx 1.5ctw sold to me as I-j color and si2 in clarity. They match my e ring, so I believe the color to be accurate, but I think they're probably i1. Not a big deal as...

Last time I went with the Vatche Serenity #1541 as the setting for my 2.21 F-SI1 Cut to Order CBI Diamond. This time I worked with Melissa and went through 3 CAD designs before settling on my new creation "Symphonie" that I got to name because I designed it. According to Wink it was cast by the...

My fiance had notice how much I was staring constantly at this stick pin saying how nice it would look as a ring, and behold he had it made into a ring for me as a surprise. This is a edwardian 14k white gold stick pin converted into a ring with a .20ct old european cut diamond.

Initial thread is here: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/cad-help-please.233900/ An engagement ring is a big purchase on numerous levels, and I wanted to get the perfect ring for my soon-to-be fiance (spoiler alert: she said yes--woo!). PS was an incredible resource, and I wanted to...

I just want to share my newly upgraded Ering that I am so excited about. My upgrade journey took a few twists and turns along the way, but I finally found the one! Many thanks to all the PSers who are old cut lovers; I have learned so much about antique diamonds here on this forum and contacted...

I had posted my new 1.71ct M color MRB earlier this year and while I absolutely loved it, DSS didn't take long to begin whispering in my ear: "Go bigger!" :lol-2: Not only did I wish for a larger stone, I was also hoping to find an upgrade to one that would offer a smaller table and higher...

After coming to Pricescope 11 years ago and 50k posts later, Andrey generously surprised me with a $1k gift to be used with any PS sponsor for being the first person to reach 50k posts! I thought about it for a couple of months, and I decided to do one final, but small upgrade to my Whiteflash...

I purchased this a while back but have recently pulled it out of my jewelry box. I forgot how lovely it was! It is an 18 karat white and yellow gold ring with 17 fancy natural yellow diamonds weighing in at 1.84ctw (clarity is VS to SI). There are also 70 little rounds (.87ctw, F-G, VS-SI)...

I had a bezel set AGS0 diamond for years, and loved it but as time went on it started to feel too plain for me (I am more of punk rock girl at heart). Also, when I wore a different pendant or necklace, it meant leaving that gorgeous stone in the drawer. So for my recent milestone birthday, I...

Good Morning, PSers!!! After months of scrolling (and trolling), and drooling, and sharing, I finally decided to start my own thread to introduce my Engagement Ring (and my Wedding Band-after all, they ARE BFF's)!! Recently, I posted a thread about how to "name" a diamond. After several hours of...

Hi all! Let me preface this by saying I've had a rough year, throughout which I've learned it's important to celebrate the positive things. I recently passed an exam that earned me the highest licensure in my field (social work). What better way to celebrate with some new bling? I purchased this...

If you google Leon Mege Blue Fin, there are a lot of pics of this ring. I'm not sure why it's taken me a bit of time to share it. I guess I just don't feel I have the photography skills to do it justice. But I stalked this ring a long time, and I thought if someone else had bought it, I would...

So I finally have some exciting updates to share! As many of you know I have been struggling with whether to transition from a pavé shank solitaire to a plain solitaire. After wearing a pavé shank solitaire for 15 years I felt the need for something simpler. The choice really weighed on me and I...

I've been coveting all these gorgeous opal pieces I've been seeing and now I have one of my very own!! It's a Mother's Day/Birthday present. Have I ever mentioned how much I like May? :lol: It's set in white and yellow gold which I really like. I never realized how hard it is to get a true...

Here's the back story: First of all, want to thank the Pricescope community for all of the helpful tips and for leading me to the phenomenal artist/fine craftsman who would make me this spectacular, elegant ring, Steven Kirsch! If not for Pricescope, I would not have known about Steven nor...

I wanted to share my oval diamond ring with the community. It was love at first sight, although I don't get to wear her every day, as she is on the larger side. Specs are GIA 4.02 Oval, K color, VVS2. Excellent symmetry and polish. She was set in a delicate rose gold band when I got her and I...

Meet Stewie! ForteKitty found and fostered Stewie and I adopted him from her! He's a bit of a unicorn because I never come across rings this size - 9.25.

Hoping to find people to share my joy with (since it's not really cool to run around flashing your ring in people's faces)! I just got this after months of design. I love it!

After years of drooling over all the Victor Canera rings on Pricescope, I knew I had to have one for myself. In early March I found a beautiful diamond from James Allen. Upon receiving it, I immediately sent it off to Victor and three weeks later, I have the beauty in my possession. Before...

Hi PS'ers, I've been a long time lurker on this forum and now am a first time poster! Excited to share my new engagement ring with you all. I've been in love with this delicate, classic James Allen setting for some time. When my now fiancé brought up ring settings this is what I suggested, the...

Here are some pictures of my fiancée's amazing new engagement ring. It is a Crafted by Infinity 1.43 carat H SI1 diamond in a size 7 made-to-order platinum solitaire setting. Video and testimonial links at the bottom. Some pictures from Wink: Video from Wink...

I apologize in advance for lousy cell phone pictures. I can't even remember where my "real" camera is. Anyway, I recently reached a major life goal, and I decided to get my FIRST-EVER piece of diamond jewelry to celebrate. In the spirit of "go big or go home," I decided on a fancy color in a...

So happy it's here! My engagement ring and custom setting is everything I hoped for! About the diamond: It all started with my fiance's mom's ring from the 80s - marquise cut on a super-wide yellow gold band. She was a real glamour girl with refined taste - fiance told me she sent back at least...

I have been seeing lots of rubies on the boards lately, a trend I hope continues because I think rubies are delicious. I always tried to go for peachy pink shades for a ring, but they never looked as good on my skin as a nice BOLD red. Back in the day I was (and still am) a grunge/punk head...

I inherited my mom's engagement ring about a decade ago and for the longest time didn't know what to do with it. I'm a white metals person and lean more to colored stones than diamonds. But a couple weeks ago I decided I wanted the option of wearing it. It was sad just sitting in a box! I took...

My 40th birthday is in two days and this morning I was awakened by the doorbell and a FedEx package from my mom. Since my hubby is out of town for V-Day, I woke up a little blue and decided to open my birthday present a little early. My sweet mother sent me my great grandmother's transitional...

Been busy dealing with multiple family medical issues but with everyone on the mend, I wanted to share this special gift. My love for jewelry came from my 81 year old mom who started taking me to gem shows over 30 years ago. This bracelet was one of her favorite pieces. She had her Vietnamese...

Time to let the cat out of the bag to my PS friends! I traded my stone for a Whiteflash ACA stone!!! I am so excited! The thing that I thought I would never do began to take shape last March when I realized that WF offered to take some trades on AGS0 stones. For those of us who started our...

I currently live in a city which has 10 standalone Cartier stores (not counting the ones in department stores, etc) but I hadn't gone inside one for years. It's a wonder I resisted the temptation for so long. But yesterday, I went out to go buy socks (for jogging as my new year's resolution was...

Once again, Joe Escobar knocks it out of the park! (Long rambling narrative to follow, skip ahead if you just want to see the pics!) A star sapphire had been high on my wishlist for a couple of years, and Erik at Joe Escobar was keeping an eye out for the perfect one for me. He finally found...
