I hate to say this but that three stone paraiba rakes the cake. Poor minty doesn't have a chance. That ring glows!!!
Thank you! 9 years later and she’s still my favorite. I don’t remember all the specs now but it’s a modest .62 on a 4.5 finger.
Whoa! Very nice! Lucky girl!
Thank you Dandi..I’m drooling over everyone’s gorgeous rings!Aww @Mamabean, that's quite a compliment from one with a magnificent collection like yours! I did try on a 15-pointer band when I got this one, I loved it too. But hubby preferred this one...so who am I to argue?
Thank you lovely!
Holy moly! These are magnificent!!
I love everything about the way you acquired Bella, @Austina. Talk about starting at the top!! And happy 40th for a couple of weeks; wishing you and your husband many more!
You can’t know that Austina..My mom is 93 and still going strong!Thank you @mrs-b it’s been an interesting ride, but I wouldn’t change anything, and Bella was definitely worth the wait. Just sad that we won’t have another 40 years together.
Photos please!I have a few different rings. I have a 1.5 Ct. Pear solitaire, a 1 ct. cushion in a pink diamond halo, a 3 stone OEC (.85 center I think) Art Deco style, and a 8 mm OEC moissanite (which I would like to replace in the future) in a halo split shank. I also have a Tiffany bezet .16 ring and lastly my 3.09 ACA in a non diamond halo.
@mrs-b Are you planning another something?
I was thinking of doing the same thing! I’ve decided I like MRB’s better than the OEC’s..even though they are beautiful..My major stumbling block is I feel like I’m replacing my engagement ring and it bothers me..I thought of starting small at Whiteflash and setting it in a plain setting and every year go up..I like their upgrade policy..I think I’ll be heading towards a three stone..Yup. In the new year I want to buy a diamond to upgrade over time. We' see how cleaned out I am after Christmas!!
You can’t know that Austina..My mom is 93 and still going strong!
Me too! I’ll be 104..105 in January!I’ll 99 in another 40 years and DH would be 108, I don’t think either of us expects to still be around then
Wow!!!! Beautiful!
Thanks Mamabean! I should probably start thinning the herd, a few don’t get worn muchWow!!!! Beautiful!
Wear them! They’re so beautiful!Thanks Mamabean! I should probably start thinning the herd, a few don’t get worn much
For now...Hehe I think 4 is a good number to fit my 4 main moods:
1. Big and flashy
2. Low key subtle
3. Vintage
4. Modern
Which ones do you wear the most?Thanks Mamabean! I should probably start thinning the herd, a few don’t get worn much
For now...
Thank you! It’s actually by Etsy seller Julia B. I just had David add milgrain and resize it. I think she has another one listed right now and I saw one listed very similar on JBG also. Oh! I was wrong. It’s .63 Ct. for the OEC and .55 ctw for the rose cuts.Ooooooh! It’s gorgeous! Did DK make the ring or did he just size it? I’m looking for one now!
Do you know any vendors that upgrade OEC’s bought from them?
