What a wonderful show-stopper of a ring! I prefer it with the Emerald "up."

OMG I am swooning over this. Definitely emerald more towards your hand.

Re: Emerald and Diamond ring splurge at the Antique show tod

Two more hand shots with ring on pointer finger with the emerald pointing towards the ends of my fingers. I will need to get it sized to fit my ring finger. Some of you like the stone up and some down towards finger ends. Guess either way will be fine. I will try to get better hand shots during daylight hours. It is already dark now.

So cool! That would also make an awesome brooch or pendant. Great find!

Gorgeous photos, gorgeous ring that looks great on your hand. Congrats!
I've been to the Miami show a few times...a totally overwhelming experience. How quickly one can get jaded seeing aisle after aisle of over-the-top pieces and spectacular stones. Wish I'd been able to go this year, too...glad you found this treasure there! Enjoy it in health.

Re: Emerald and Diamond ring splurge at the Antique show tod

Your new ring is absolutely magnificent! I love it worn both ways! Maybe you could alternate days - up one day, down the next!

 

[retrogamer]

Re: Emerald and Diamond ring splurge at the Antique show tod

What a glorious display of old world charm!

 

[PattyCo]

Re: Emerald and Diamond ring splurge at the Antique show tod

Wow!! Everything about it is so amazing. The color of the emerald is positively atomic. What a lovely heirloom. I like the way it is in the first photo, with the pear pointing toward you. When I seen it the other way my first thought was the diamond would catch on things and the stalk be become bent, and that would be a pity.

 

[Calliecake]

Re: Emerald and Diamond ring splurge at the Antique show tod

bbziggy, OMG!!!! It's gorgeous. I am in love with your ring! Such a stunning piece. I have to go to this show next year.

I forgot to tell you how beautiful it looks on your hand!

 

[bbziggy]

Re: Emerald and Diamond ring splurge at the Antique show tod

Thanks so much EC4me,retrogamer and Calliecake! This is my thread from last years antique show. I had much better luck finding something that made my heart sing last year!! This year there were still amazing pieces but nothing that kept calling me. I did end up with a very wearable necklace though which I posted in Diamond Hangout under Miami Beach Antique Show thread.Thanks for all of the kind words

 

[apacherose]

Re: Emerald and Diamond ring splurge at the Antique show tod

Oh have mercy that is SO beautiful!!!

Funny, the trade pictures would not have swayed me but on your hand that ring is incredible. You have a great eye. Wow, wow, wow.

I'm glad this thread popped up, what a great piece!

 

[iota15]

Re: Emerald and Diamond ring splurge at the Antique show tod

oOH. That's beautiful. I don't think the trade pictures would have swooned me either - but in your real life photos, Amazing!

I like the emerald facing your knuckles, but either way works.

More pictures!

Re: Emerald and Diamond ring splurge at the Antique show tod

That's a beautiful shade and vibrancy of green. Did you get any history information on the ring?

 

[HeartingDiamonds]

Re: Emerald and Diamond ring splurge at the Antique show tod

Thank you everyone! I can't wait to pick it up on Monday and I will post better pictures.Do you all mean you like the direction of the emerald in the first picture or the second picture? I'm confused sorry.It took me three days to get through the show and I kept coming back to this ring. So many crazy beautiful things! I have never seen so many huge diamonds in one place! So many booths had stones over 9 or 10 cts. They looked almost like costume jewelry since they were so huge! A ton of old stones too. I thought pieces were really expensive this year. So many of the jewelry pieces are bought and sold dealer to dealer and the price goes up.There are over 1000 dealers at this show! A feast for the eyes. I wait evey year for it and uaually go 4 of the 5 days.

The only direction I like is the direction towards my finger

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!

So unique and just... glorious!! Dammit, where was this ring when I was trolling the floor?

Re: Emerald and Diamond ring splurge at the Antique show tod

Re: Emerald and Diamond ring splurge at the Antique show tod

Re: Emerald and Diamond ring splurge at the Antique show tod
