I must have been really, really good this year. Santa was incredibly generous. First up is a ruby ring that I had been coveting for quite a while. The ruby is not large but the color is amazing and almost glows. I love the setting because it is not the typical halo setting, more flower like. The...

My latest asscher in the quest. This one checks off all the boxes as a not-too-large travel diamond that is interesting with quirkiness and multiple personalities. JA was kind enough to set and send in just 7 days so I could have it for Christmas. I guess only a PSer would think of a diamond as...

My newest ebay find came quite unexpectedly. I have notifications set up to notify me any time someone lists a Van Craeynest. This one, however, was not listed as a Van Craeynest and thus I was never notified. I was pursuing ebay one day and came across this ring listed, I believe, as...

2016 isn't over yet, sooo.... I managed to squeeze in another purchase :wall: . I've been eyeing the Van Cleef & Arpel Byzantine Alhambra pendant for a while now...

Finally, my beautiful Colombian emerald and diamond ring from Yvonne Raley is on my finger! :dance: :love: This ring was a long and intensive project for me. It took almost exactly 6 months after choosing the center stone to receiving the finished ring on my finger. This has been the longest...

Hi Ladies and Gents! :wavey: It's time for yet another reveal! I've jumped on the Whiteflash upgrade train once again, thanks to WF's great upgrade policies which I'm afraid I have utilized quite a few times now, lol! :naughty: I'm now the proud owner of a spectacular pair of 4.8ctw...

Hi everyone! I would like to thank all the wonderful PS members who had welcomed me when I first joined PS, and contributed so generously when I asked for advice in my diamond search... :wavey: All the time reading and educating myself on Pricescope was definitely well-spent as I have...

So Acinom reminded me that I should be a good PSer and start posting my latest projects to the CS forum. :angel: I have a couple other projects in the works but this is the first one to be fully completed. I'm wearing it now! :) Heartfelt thanks to Acinom, Niel, arkieb, and DK168 for...

Hey everyone, In February I plan to propose to my wonderful girlfriend. Months ago, I asked her to look around at settings online, and send me a few ideas. Every setting she liked was white gold, with a split and/or twist style to it. She had no requirements on the diamond, other than a...

First I have to admit sometimes I feel redundant to open numerous new purchase thread from time to time(I did that for years!). And a lot of times when I am in the mood of sharing something new, yet it often seems not fitting anywhere, I usually end up shy away from opening a new thread just for...

I am posting from my phone out of excitement and want to first and foremost thank every PS'er that helped and contributed along the way, as well as those who may have no idea who I am but contributed such a wealth of information to PS that I am just as grateful for your time and effort. I am...

I've had a paraiba journey and this is where I ended up. Leon was great to work with, he's a very nice guy, over the phone and in person. I was able to visit his office in NYC and he spent a lot of time showing us his creations. I'm a little pressed for time, and the photos reflect this lol...

My newest acquisition came today and I'm utterly awestruck. It's a size 7.5 platinum halo with a large and moderate to severely abraded 12mm zircon. Shes got some wear to her, and I'll get her repaired, but I could help but show her off in the meantime. The seller was consigning it for a...

so I am kinda lurker lol ... But my husband surprised me with my 10 yr anniversary ring 6 mths early !! I am beyond excited and blessed and just over the moon ! It is a A.Jaffe setting with a elongated cushion cut 1.03 ct center with 0.67 ct in the halo and shank for a TCW of 1.70 . It is a D...

I've been a PS lurker for about 9 months, learning as much as I can after a chain jeweler cracked (yep, cracked) my original emerald cut diamond given to me 13 years before by my DH and which was not purchased from that chain jeweler. The original EC was 1.18 cts G-VS2 with a really great...

Since PSers were so helpful with suggestions on my various projects recently and CAD input, I thought I would share with you all my new goodies from Brilliantly Engaged! 3.25 ct. E-Ring Reset into a Solitaire (I SI1): I upgraded this stone a few years ago and had it set into a SK 3 stone with...

Oh man, I walked into a 50% off sale at the local jewelry store. Hubby was with me so he did his thing and talked them down even more. I walked out with these Simon G earrings for an amazing price. I so love getting a good deal! :lol:

Hello PS'ers, I've been, for several years now, selling and giving away most of my unwanted/ seldom-worn items and acquiring some larger, higher-end pieces. This year has been spectacular, bling acquisition-wise, after a few years of (near) inactivity. Items 1, 2 and 3 are my latest...

I'm so excited to join you ladies! My fiancé proposed tonight and he used a family stone and designed a setting inspired by a vintage Tiffany setting and it turned out perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am so thrilled to be able to post my own BLING for the first time on this thread! This diamond is my 50th birthday upgrade and ended up being a diamond upgrade, a new setting and ultimately new wedding band to match! I have a lovely husband and thank God we only turn 50 once! Here is my...

Hey guys! Some of you may remember me! I purchased my ring last year at the beginning of 2015. I had planned to propose a lot earlier but we wanted to wait for a few more things to fall into place - ducks in a row as they say! The magical moment finally happened on my birthday this past...

Introducing my OEC. Thank you to Adam at Old World Diamonds. GIA OEC K, VS1 3.04 carats This stone is stunning, bright, so lively, won’t stop sparkling. It has super sharp facets that appear extremely symmetrical to my eyes. The petal pattern in the center and diamond shapes all along the...

Hubby finally managed it, a total surprise. He even had it wrapped in an iPhone box which I thought was a new car charger that I need. :lol: But instead of a car charger I find this gorgeous pink baby. :o :love: Happy Mother's Day/early birthday to me!!!!! It's a 7mm round pink sapphire...

I'm THRILLED to share my new Paraiba ring from Yvonne Raley of Cecile Raley Designs! It arrived today and being the dutiful PSer that I am, immediately whipped out my phone and took a ton of photos. :D Excuse the photo load, I hope you enjoy~~!!! I'd like to thank Yvonne for being all-around...

Hi everyone! :wavey: I'm pleased to share my latest upgrade with the Pricescope community! I recently had the opportunity to upgrade to a new 4.7ct I VS-1 Whiteflash ACA from WF!!! :dance: Since diamond prices have been relatively low recently, I decided it was time to take the plunge...

Thank you Dave Atlas, Pricescope, and David Klass for this beautiful wedding band that I will put on my fiancé's finger this upcoming June 22nd in Ireland! I had won a $250 gift certificate sponsored by Dave Atlas last year at the Pricescope get-together in Vegas that I finally used! I went...

Thought I would show my new-to-me lovely here! I bought this as a complete ring as I just fell absolutely in love with it as is. Barely even cared about the stats as it was love at first sight (how un-PS of me!) :) Details: Antique/vintage platinum setting Centre: OMC/antique cushion est...

I finally get to post in this section :) Received pictures today.

I've recently gotten a few pieces and really wanted to share them with everyone! Get ready because I have a bunch of pics :D In January, DH and I went to Italy to celebrate our anniversary and one thing that I really wanted as a memory was a typical artisanal Florentine ring! I didn't want to...

I don't post often but I enjoy seeing all the pieces here so much I thought I should post mine too. I had been waiting for a vintage/antique heart to come available because hearts are special to me as a romance writer but I love the look of antique cut diamonds with big facets. I was so happy...
