Feel free to skip the background story if you like and just look at the photos ;) I've already posted a few pics to the CS forum, but I've fallen in love with this shiny little bauble and decided that it needed its own SMTB thread :appl: *** My sister and I live on different continents, and...

I finally get to show off my engagement ring! My boyfriend proposed over the weekend in Geneva (...underground at CERN for all the nerds out there...), and so now it's time to share the goods with Pricescope as well! It's a 5.05 carat VVS2 W-X color. We had Victor Canera do the setting, his...

Hi everyone! I mostly lurk, but posted recently about my search for a center stone for my engagement ring upgrade. We were students when we got married and always intended to upgrade my teeny department store ring after 5 years. The upgrade got pushed back nearly a year since we just had a baby...

(Excruciating detail and photo overload ahead!) Introducing my new love: 2.97 carat OEC from Old World Diamonds set in the "Brandie" solitaire by MarkT/ERD/Brilliantly Engaged. But I just think of it as my "baby Valmanin" ring, hehe. This was a very special gift from my husband in celebration...

Seven colourful days of stacking... This is what it looks like.

This stone, now in a palladium tension ring by Gelin Abaci. There might be finger shots, eventually, but for the time being it is just by itself...

Yay! At the Ruckus Hisano presented her new little h geode line. As soon as she was done presenting, the audience swooped down to take a closer look at her jewelry. She had a tray filled with souffles and with baby nurse's help, I picked out a gorgeous souffle. It was large and metallic with...

A few weeks ago, I received the ring from Yoni of EternitybyYoni.com and my girlfriend loved it-- I posted pictures here. I took the ring away from her, telling her I wanted to give it to her officially in a special way. Since she loved the ring, she wanted me to find the same exact ring for me...

Hi everyone! Very excited to now be moving from the "Rocky Talky" to the "Show Me the Bling" forum. Well, the engagement ring is officially complete and I proposed last week and (of course) she said yes! I am so thrilled with how the ring turned out. My fiancé loves it and it looks amazing...

I thought I'd update my bling collection :lol: Starting with my 5 stone ring of 0.33 ct each of GIA E color triple Ex stones from Bluenile, 1.65 tcw on a ring size of 4.75. Usually worn on my right hand with my 20 pts, 6 tcw tennis bracelet

Hey guys! I tried knotting my first necklace and bracelet! The french wire and I had a couple of heated arguments but we are getting along much better now lol. My hands are pretty beat up now from knotting, wow, PearlMaven makes it look so easy. I must've watched her video like 20 times...

Houston, the Eagle has landed! … Wink (7/28/2014) Ten years ago (2004) Wink created a beautiful handcrafted 6.5 inch bracelet made of .33s GH/VS2-SI1 diamonds that was 10.5 ctw (but would have been 11.5 ctw if the standard 7-inch length). They were not sold as H&A but most of the stones...

My s/o bought this 2.02 natural unheated & untreated alexandrite for me a little over a year ago after I had ogled it on Multicorlour's website for several months. I stumbled upon it when we were discussing birthstones, and he asked that I google search his. This exact stone came up in the...

After about 2 or so months, my custom men's ring has arrived from Yoni at Eternity by Yoni ! For those of you who hasn't seen any of my previous threads here's a quick recap: I found a old vintage Russian ring from the early 1900's that I fell in love with. - I also admire the older vintage...

Hello, Thank you one again to everyone who helped me purchase this diamond/ring. I love it and its beautiful!! I did have it appraised and it matches the certificate exactly, even though the report was an older 2009 one. Now I have to consider insurance. My search process...

Worked with GOG and Timeless to create this ring, thanks for all the input these past months from PS-thanks all! metal: platinum diamonds- emerald cut, trap sides details: floral hand engraving and millegrain-

Hi all, I'm trying to find a Padparadscha Sapphire for an engagement ring (for my girl-friend). I have read the buying guide thread, which has some great info for a newcomer like me. Quality is more important to me than size. Here's basically what I would love to find: 1. 2 ct + 2...

First of all, I want to thank everyone who contributed to the original stone-choice thread. Even though I didn't end up picking the overall favorite (stunning asscher yellow sapphire), it really helped to think it through. I ended up with the light pink sapphire and halo'd it. Here are the...

I was going to wait until I could take more pics, hoping the sun would come out for longer than 30 seconds, but what can I say…I'm excited. I picked up two rings today, and I think each deserves its own thread. First up, my 3.51 pinkish red Mahenge from Prima...

These are the worst pictures like EVER but I just got home and have to leave in a sec but still wanted to toss these up so you can seeeeeeee my new baby 2.15 ct mahenge spinel from Prima 6.9 x 10.3 mm I picked this out of the box and was all "WHOA OMG MASSIVE HONKIN ROCK" and then realized...

I love blue, what girl doesn't? A few months ago I was on Africa Gems. I saw a blue spinel that was just delicious. It had a deep rich blue and an amazing cut. I reached out to Marc Sarosi and he sent it out to me for review. Well once I saw it, I had to have it. The stone is 4.97 blue spinel in...

Hubby really likes it when he can cover all the holiday's except Christmas in one fell swoop then he doesn't have to worry about it until the end of the year. So Happy Mother's Day/Birthday/Anniversary to me! :lol: :appl: I don't mind when he does this because he gives me some pretty special...

I am so in love with my brand new custom ring created by Maytal Hannah! The ring is a 10 year anniversary gift from my sweet husband, but other than the budget, I planned everything. I'm not a big jewelry person (at least, I wasn't) and discovering PS opened up a whole new world for me. I soon...

Turning 30 has its perks, I suppose. A few weeks ago I was at a PS G2G, when I happened upon a beautiful sapphire three stone halo ring at a local antique jewelry store. Neither the stones, or the setting were antique but nonetheless, I was entirely enamoured by it. The price tag on this ring...

My daughter is getting married in a few weeks and at her bridal shower we had to get these shots! Bride's is the halo, mine is the five stone, my Mother (bride's Grandma) is wearing her set and her Mother's wedding ring, and her Grandmother's ring. Five generations of wedding rings. So special.

I'm waiting VERY impatiently for my Whiteflash 1ct huggies! These will fit in perfectly with my other Whiteflash jewels! :cheeky: Huggies have been #1 on my list since my visit to Whiteflash....now they are mine!!! I cannot wait to have them "home" in my earlobes! :love:

I just received my pictures from Hisano for my vow renewal jewelry and was so excited to share it all with you!! Hisano did a wonderful job putting my vision together. I was inspired by her diamond studded necklace in her Spring lookbook and asked her if she could imbed diamonds into a pearl...

Yay my ring is here!!! I am so happy. It is beautiful and exactly what I wanted. I want to thank everyone who has helped me from the beginning of this journey on PS Who put up with my many threads...which only helped me to get clear on what I really wanted a beautiful simple solitaire. At...
