I didn't see this diamond coming. So this is a story about how a woman woke up on Friday with no intention to buy a diamond, and then owned it just over 24 hours later. I'm new here, though I've been lurking for ages. I was seeking to replace my 1.24 carat round brilliant with a larger diamond...

Hi Everyone, First post, but long-time lurker. Thank you Pricescope Community for all the information. Here's a picture of a Victor Canera Gabriela that I bought for my wife as an anniversary upgrade. The ring was done in rose gold, and I'm very happy with the choice. Both Victor and...

I just received this SS rose cut diamond eternity band for a milestone birthday. It is 4mm wide and a size 4.25. It is VERY HARD to take photos that reflect what it looks like in real life. These aren't the best but here goes!

VCA bug bites again. Pre-loved but practically new. I louped it with my 60x. I didn't love it that much to begin with. Then I realized what a great neutral it is. This white MOP feels really easy and casual. I can layer it with my little pendant. I'm too lazy to even take off my other...

Top: From T & Co, 92 points, D color, VVS1 clarity. Bottom: From Cartier, "Abre de Vie", 90 diamonds, 1.21 total carat weight.

I'm so excited to present my first VCA piece! I've been coveting the vintage alhambra necklace for a while and went into VCA back in October for the first time. I knew I wanted to try the MOP and onyx since they are classic but I absolutely love red and had to try on the carnelian. Well of...

I finally decided on a forever home for my antique cushion - it was a tough decision and I kept going between a delicate halo and an antique-type setting like Single Stone or Sebastian Barier. Ultimately my husband's vote tipped the scale to going with a halo. I considered all the normal vendors...

i know (double) halos are not for everyone, but i absolutely LOVE how my ring turned out. i truly appreciate those who helped me with the design process! :) indoors under various lighting: obligatory car shots (with potential wedding band?): details. thank you for letting me share!

Hubby surprised me with this for my 40th birthday. We were in Vegas for the weekend & just happened to stop by Cartier at the Crystals on our last night. I was curious about the traditional Trinity ring which I tried but the SA gave this to me to try on as well. I loved it but I thought it was...

Over the moon with the beautiful ring my now Fiance proposed with! 1.61 G VS1 Oval in a delicate Cathedral setting with double claw prongs. Also, i received my 6 Stone halo Diamond wedding band I ordered from Blue Nile. I LOVE this band paired with my engagement ring. My Fiance( it feels so...

My latest project -- custom made pad sapphire and diamond ring - 1.66 cts of diamonds, with a 5.65 pad centre, created by the amazing and wonderful Damasci Jewelers in Toronto. It's a hybrid of their Arosa collection double halo design. As is so often the case, it's near impossible with a...

When I started researching engagement rings a few months ago, I had no idea what to look for. Through the help of two websites in particular - Pricescope and Beyond4Cs - I spent dozens of hours learning about every technical aspect I could. The INTJ in me couldn't get enough, and in the end I...

My new Victor Canera ring is on my finger! I love the setting he created for Doug Menadue's Electric Blue topaz. The ring has a two-sided cushiony halo with a NSEW orientation. Victor made the ring in platinum. As always it has been a very smooth process to work with Victor. Thank you...

First of all I have to say, this has been a busy month for Whiteflash here on PS! I see "WF" and "ACA" in every other thread! I hope I'm not boring everyone with yet ANOTHER WF ring! Anyways, I came back to PS a few years ago to research my MRB upgrade and got sidetracked by all the beautiful...

Yes, I'm addicted! Some of you may have seen the Whiteflash ACA tennis bracelet post I put up a few days ago...well, while working with WF on the bracelet I found this 5.59 ACA stone and couldn't get it off my mind :love: Once I educated myself on ACA diamonds, I couldn't get enough and REALLY...

It isn't here yet but the glamour shots are done! I am SO excited and the photos have blown my family and FI away :appl: In the end I went with their own Tiffany style 6 prong setting, a bit wider than I originally wanted but I saw the 'Recently Purchased' pix and it looked really classic and...

So, I recently decided to upgrade my first diamond -- a Whiteflash ACA solitaire -- into a five-stone trellis ring. I've always had great experience with Whiteflash on the customer service end -- they're quick, responsive, thorough, professional, etc. I can't say enough great things about them...

I have so much to say that's it's hard to know where to begin.... I've loved jewelry for as long as I can remember. I've collected some fabulous pieces over the years but I've always wanted a classic tennis bracelet. I've looked on and off for years but never pulled the trigger for various...

It's here! Modest by PS standards but not by mine :lol: It's a belated 5 year anniversary gift. Specs to follow. Here are my (not very good) photos to start with.

I wanted to share my custom setting experience here because all the posts I found on PS were so helpful during these few months. Thanks guys! :D Sorry for the long post. Skip down for the part about SK. For our anniversary, DH wanted me to have the engagement ring he couldn't afford when we...

Hello, First of all I wanted to say how helpful I have found this site to be as a hopeful future groom. In fact, it is how I was introduced to Steven Kirsch's work and got the sign-off from my GF. Frankly, I never write reviews but I wanted to share my experience in hopes that it would be...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say thank you to all you wonderful posters. By reading through the forums we managed to get a ring with much better quality than we would have otherwise and at great value! Keep up the great discussions! I also thought it might be useful for people searching for...

After almost 5 years, I finally set this: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/4-75-namibian-mandarin-garnet-help-me-design.149833/ I'm trigger happy when it comes to purchasing gems, but very setting shy. Something about setting them seem so... permanent. Silly, since they can be...

I got this emerald a little over a year ago: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/kryptonite-columbian-emerald-from-lisa.200699/ I started talks with David Klass in November of last year on how to set it. I knew I wanted milgrain, halo and engraving, but beyond that, the details needed...

It started with this fancy light pinkish brown IF cushion from Leibish: I wanted a delicate halo with tiny rose gold prongs all around the centre diamond to bring out the pink: In the box:

My 20K RG ring by DK is ready!!! A while ago I found a lovely set of a pink and blue sapphires on the site of The Gem Trader. I was so happy that I was able to aquire the set! Bradley Payne was great to work with.

This is my first post to PS, but I've been lurking around for bit and and finding myself totally addicted to this site and all of you. I have a feeling I may find a little too much inspiration here! LOL I'm beyond thrilled with my new ring...it was quite an adventure to get to this point...

I'm back! I recently purchased a pair of studs through Sin City Treasures They are lovely 3.05 and 3.06 and 9.5mm each. They were purchased in person and without grading reports. This was my first time doing it and I am glad the owner convinced me to look. It is different purchasing from a...

I know it's not nearly as blingy as some of the others I have seen, but I love it. It's a great stand alone size for me. And I feel like it compliments my ring and doesn't take away from it. It's very comfortable to wear, and the folks at WF have been awesome! It's a .75 tcw, and I wear a size 7.5

Hello everyone! I shared on the colored stones section but I knownot everyone frecuents it so I figured I'd share here too. I wanted a stand alone wedding band and couldn't decide between two concepts. So I had them both made. Here is the first one.
