Yes, I see what you mean OTOH the emerald above would seem very reasonable ...or is there something I'm missing

If one of those PSers scrambling for their credit cardds gets this we want to know immediately please!

In the market, are you kidding, Starzin? The only way I could buy that is to raid the old 401K & it's so beautiful, I toyed with the idea! YG too, an extra bonus. Just want you to feel guilty that I'm eating my heart out!

There's just something about those antique rings....sigh.

Anyway here is a mini version. I just happen to be searching Langantiques the other evening and your post reminded me of this one.

Things that immediately jumped out at me ...............

1. The ring is in silver with a gold plating.
2. It says it has a lab report but which lab?
3. What does the report say? Treatment level etc?

Call me cautious but I'd want to know the answers to 2 and 3 before even considering it.

I think it said silver over yellow gold which isn't totally off for the time period. But I'm going to have to go back and re read it.

 

[LD]

You're correct - apologies - I didn't read that well enough.

I am not in the market but enjoyed looking at it. Beautiful ring!

JF: I'll stand in the corner and drool with you

LD: the second line says "eyeclean natural untreated" but why not ask for the lab report?

IK: smaller but still very, very pretty. However no mention of a lab report on that one.

I still don't think I would say no to it as a gift

While I would definitely prefer Starzin's for pure size and presence, I will not be particular and would accept either of them from any of you

Love the design and OEC / OMC halo but...
1. One does not say what lab, the other doesn't have lab paperwork to verify treatment
2. Type of treatment?
3. Level of treatment
