Ebay OEC Platinum Ring

[Maisie]

I found this on Ebay and decided to take a chance and bid on it. Its around .60ct and the colour looks quite low.... maybe an M or N. I got it for a really good price. It arrived today. Its lovely but there is a rather large chip on the girdle which wasn't in the listing. There is also a large inclusion just under the table but its not visible without a loupe.

 

[Maisie]

Couple more...

Will you keep it? Its a lovely ring, but will the chip make it worth less than what you paid? (I adore it btw, and nice to pose a vintage camera with it.)

 

[Maisie]

As soon as I saw it I loved it. I really don't want to return it. I am working with the seller to find a happy place for both of us

I bought that camera from a lovely lady on Etsy. I have it displayed in my living room on some antique books.

Whose wedding photo in the background?

It's lovely! The setting goes perfectly with it.

Damn PS brainwashing! Now I want a vintage camera to put on my vintage books!

I love the ring. Yes there's a gash, but to me that just gives it more character.

That is my mother in 1969

I really love the setting. The best part is the patina on the platinum.

You know it only cost me $20! (the camera not the ring!) I thought that was a huge bargain! There is one here for $35 http://www.etsy.com/listing/35310263/vintage-camera-ansco-shur-shot-junior

I don't mind the chips as long as they don't threaten the safety of the diamond. I agree, it gives character.

It is really lovely Maise, and the setting is so pretty!

I think as long as you pay a fair price for what the diamond is, you can rest easy with the purchase for sure. I hope you can reach a fair agreement with the seller.

 

[Maisie]

Thank you D. I really love the patina on the platinum. The seller has agreed to refund 25% of the cost of the ring. I think this is fair.

It is beautiful! I especially love the prongs

 

[junebug17]

I love the ring Maisie! The setting is beautiful, and I love those prongs...and the stone is pretty, a lot of these older stones have chips, they've been around a long time! I'm glad you came to an agreement with the seller. Enjoy your pretty new ring!

Hi Maisie,
I'm glad the ring worked out for you - the setting really is darling, and the faceting of the OEC looks really pretty.
It is a shame about the non-disclosure of the clarity & chip in the listing, but I'm glad you've come to a resolution with the seller -
with a further 25% off, I reckon you got yourself a very nice deal - congrats

 

[gemgirl]

I think it's very pretty! I love old mountings. I'm happy you're going to keep it.

 

[MichelleCarmen]

Pretty ring!

 

[Maisie]

I have been wearing the ring for a couple of days now and I really adore it. Its pretty and has such a sweet sparkle in low light. I think I read somewhere that OEC diamonds were cut to perform best in candle light. Mine definitely prefers it

Then I'd say you're just going to have to have more candle lit dinners with your honey !

Chip or no chip-it's a lovely stone and setting! I am happy the seller was able to work with you and that everything turned out well.
