After chopping and changing rounds for several years and never really settling - I found my forever ring and discovered an absolute love for Marquise stones! she is 3.93 carat, M colour, VS2 Marquise (I’ve always loved warmer stones) and my husband calls her ‘the mistress’ - an ode to her...

So, a bit of backstory: My grandma and mum are big jewellery collectors and they have amassed a sizeable collection despite their financial situations (think war and immigration). My grandma passed away not long after I was born, and her estate was split among her five children. Fast forward to...

https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/KgnCAu3DQYGFiBsKmKSmEQ.lyT1sTSjiTWz8v3vFHnJQB DH and I are celebrating 60 years of marriage today, and to mark the occasion I have a new ring from Whiteflash. My buying the new ring skills far outpace my computer skills, and I only have one photo to share...

I never buy MRB diamonds. Seriously, this will be the first one I have bought but the color is perfect, the perfect bourbon on the rocks color. It’s a 2.15 VS in a platinum HW style setting from Diamonds by Lauren. The hand shots are from Sandra at DBL. It is a color I’ve searched for for a...

I am overwhelmed.... I have DREAMED about owning this ring forever. When we got engaged it was a total surprise & we hadn't discussed rings. I loved it, but it got damaged & written off by the insurance company. At that point we looked at Tiffany's, but our budget only stretched to a .40 carat...

All, I want to share this ring out of gratitude to Whiteflash and to this forum. It's been quite a journey for me. I started with a 3.3 D MRB non ACA solitaire that WF helped me find but ultimately it did not feel right (too big {gasp}, and not mind clean). I then got this 2.187 stone set in...

Just when I thought my collection was complete, my interest was piqued by a gorgeous ring I saw by chance in an antique jewellery shop. I had long ago promised myself that having discovered the joys of buying well-priced loose diamonds online I would never pay a "retail" price for a ring in a...

Well I am over the moon! For my next bling project I started putting away funds for what I thought was going to be a diamond stud upgrade, but then I started thinking that if I were going to spend that amount of money, that I want to be able to SEE it, and that an even larger engagement ring is...

Wanted to brighten everyone’s day by sharing my new flower cluster ring. I had Whiteflash custom make their flower cluster earring into a ring, using the profile of their butterflies setting as inspiration. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out! The ring is gorgeous!! The profile sits low so makes...

Well, it's nearly our 11 year anniversary now, but we got there in the end! You lovely, generous Pricescopers were there to help me every step of the way, so it's only fair that I pay you back in the accepted currency of zillions of photos :devil: Diamond: Emerald cut 2.08 carat K VS2 59%...

I recently upgraded my wedding set after 15 years and I’m beyond thrilled on how it came out. Be prepared for picture overload.

Hi folks, just want to share my experience with WolfCBI team (previously was known as HPD). Last month I decided to upgrade my diamond which previously I bought around 1-2 years ago from them. I saw the one that I liked and I immediately contacted Layla. The whole team includes Layla, Wink...

Well, I waited for the man for 22 years. The best man. The perfect man for me. And for 37 years he's spoiled me, and loved me, and provided for me, and protected me and just plain been there for me. He's turned up a zillion times and done more, given more and been more than I could ever...

Garrard was appointed the first official crown jeweler in 1843 by Queen Victoria. They are the longest serving jeweler in the world. Never did I think I would own a piece from Garrard, but fate had other plans. A most delightful 57 point diamond G color VS1 clarity in a six prong knife edge...

Hello all! I'm so excited to share my Whiteflash ACA upgrade in a beautiful Maytal Hannah setting! I'm a longtime reader, and this forum has been a source of education, advice, and beautiful jewelry over the years, so THANK YOU. I appreciate all of you and all of the contributions you make...

First, gratuitous ring pics! The Process I began looking for my center diamond and setting around the same time, early 2021. I knew early on that I would likely source the stone separately and if i found a setting I liked enough, great! If not, I knew I could always go custom. Although my...

My grandmother had a 3 stone OEC ring that she wore everyday. As a child, I adored it and would ask to try it on at any opportunity. It consisted of her mother’s 1.11 H VVS/IF (except for a girdle chip) oec, her own 0.3 engagement OEC, and an aunt’s 0.3 OEc. After she passed in 2010, I got...

This bracelet started unintentionally about 10 years ago when I found a vintage Cartier paper clip bracelet at an antique show. It is from the 70s or 80s and the serial number and Cartier signature are just faintly visible. I loved it immediately, especially because it reminded me of the...

Hi all. This begins with a late art deco ring I have had for years, that was one I always really loved. Easy to wear, pretty geometric details, and comfortable. I picked it up years ago on Ruby Lane for a very good price and it was my usual go to travel ring as well! This is the ring. I...

I searched and searched, and I found it! This 5.48 ct (GIA M VS1) true antique old European cut diamond makes my heart sing! With a 51% table and a depth of 64.7%, it has both the chunky flower pattern I wanted AND the lovely architecture of a high crown. It’s 11.04 x 11.06 x 7.15mm. I found it...

My yearning for a carved jadeite necklace started years ago with pictures of interlocked jadeite loops that immediately fascinated me. Example of short loops: As I looked them up, I realized that apart from earrings, there are also bracelets and even entire jadeite necklaces carved out of...

I am playing catch up in posting several projects from the last year or two, and this one holds a very special place in my heart. It all started last fall when a preloved thread caught my eye last fall. I literally did a double take when I read @Resonance.Of.Life ’s post about selling Isla, as I...

Hello everyone! :wavey: It's that time of year for my annual diamond jewelry reveal! I decided to jump back on the Whiteflash upgrade train this year in pursuit of my holy grail ACA. I missed out on a few 5ct H VS ACA's in their inventory over the past few years so I asked my SA if WF had...
