Very pretty ring! Maybe the same ring with the original diamond and pearl replaced? You got a nice ring for a great price!

Thanks! I don’t think it’s the same ring because the diamond of the inspiration is connected to the ring at three points, whereas mine is connected at two points.

Beautiful, when the loupe says it shouldn't be. Thanks for a great story!

I was reading about bruted girdles in @LightBright ’s post in the Jogani thread, and it inspired me to take a closer look. There they are - the perfectly imperfect diamond has a bruted girdle! While it’s not proof positive, it does seem to suggest that this ring is an older piece rather than a reproduction.

All I can say is Yummmmm. And if this is what imperfection looks like count me in.

A while ago, I fell for this ring at Sin City Finds, but I took too long to pull the trigger and it was sold to someone else.


Imagine my surprise when I came across this eBay listing two weeks ago!


It’s definitely not the same ring, as the pearl and diamond are smaller. The diamonds also looked pretty terrible to me, but I hoped it was just the photos. The seller, BlueRibbonRarities, has a no questions asked return policy, so I figured it could be worth the risk to see it in person. I placed my bid 20 seconds before the auction ended, and it was mine for $891 after taxes!

Lovely find! I really enjoyed this post, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
