I thought so! Thanks for looking and verifying. Here are a few head on, this is not my hand!

Of course you do
It would be cool to have an Ostby piece.

Did you join the call last night? We ate late so everything got all messed up.

Finally here! A few thoughts, first brown colored diamonds are really hard to photograph and this one is really light compared to the seller’s photos. There is no sun today (always the way) so these are the best I’ve been able to get. Definitely a chameleon, the most pink it looks is with the two white gold bands otherwise it is very champagne in color.

It is on the small side for my big fingers but it’s fun to own an Ostby piece, for me it’s more of a collectible than a regular wear piece.

Look at that puffy crown!
I love it. The carved details so pretty.
Another good choice, Yada!

Thanks, it’s definitely interesting to see a diamond have so many personalities, can’t wait to see it in the sun!

A couple of pics in the sun that came out momentarily. The camera doesn’t really capture all the color I see in person but it is really lovely in sunlight.

So so beautiful, @YadaYadaYada! I love the color and the intricate design.

Thank you @springerspaniel, I didn’t really know what to expect from a brown diamond but they are pretty cool.

I love me some Ostby!
This was the engagement ring I've worn for most of our marriage.
Now, I can only say this is in the 'Belcher style' and a true antique because it's not marked at all. So, is it an actual Ostby? Dunno. The antiques guy was sure of it, but you know opinions are like...
It was still a very lucky find in that the 6.7mm spinel turned out to be real though very shallow(yay!). It's what started me on the love of natural spinel journey
If I could find another spinel(natural) in this particular perfect red pink in the 2-2.5ct range round, I'd be content forever. I've come close, but no cigar still.
I would love to pick me up an oec OB ring someday.

Love that pink @ItsMainelyYou! So pretty!

I’m thinking this looks like an Ostby hallmark and that the bottom of the B and the dot after it got worn down.

What do you guys think? @PreRaphaelite @stracci2000 and anyone else who would like to weigh in

Gorgeous! Not just the setting, i love the colour of the stone!!

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Thanks @HHtv this is my first brown/champagne diamond and it’s fun to see the changes in different lighting.
