Well, the David Klass OEC supposed to be my birthday bling, but alas, it was just the potion that took me down the rabbits hole. That beautiful set made me realize A) I really prefer a vintage cut to MRB B) Clarity is reasonably important to me and C) I am really down for some buttery diamonds.
I fell in love with a ring on consignment from Love Affair Diamonds, but was pretty sure it was out of reach. After some sweet talking with DH and reminding him of all the tech purchased he indulged himself in last year, I popped the ring in my cart. :kiss2:
So, this is my biggest, highest color diamond purchase yet and I am smitten! 1.30 carat AVR in the Bella setting from Love Affair Diamonds. My photos don’t do this ring any justice- it’s such a sparkler in person! Just glitters in under any light, but it is a challenge to photograph. Anyways, had to share my joy here :D

It’s a gorgeous ring! Just beautiful! If you want to share more pics of that sparkler..:love:
 
It's gorgeous!! More pics pleeeease! :love:
 
Well we've all drunk that potion in one form or another...:lol:

That is just beautiful - what a great find, and I love the setting too. I have to admit I am trying to consolidate so that I can get an AVR. Those colors and facets have me mesmerised :love:

Wear in good health.
 
:appl: It is beautiful!!
 
Gorgeous! Well done!
 
Congratulations! It looks perfect on you! That Bella is a stunner!
 
Hard to turn down the PS koolaid when it brings you such beautiful things! This beauty just looks lacy and perfect on your hand. Congrats an a beautiful new addition! :)

Do you mind sharing the color of the AVR? (For, you know, future research purposes....)
 
I love that ring .I looked at it so many times on the LAD site and was so glad when temptation was taken away!

Would you believe that's an R? Buying pre-loved and going up in color gave me the ability to get the diamond size I always thought was ideal for me ☺️
Buying from Love Affair Diamonds was a pleasure too- even their pre-loved stock was great! I got a full AGS report, beautiful packaging, jewelry cleaner (just a nice bonus gift), and shipping was overnight. I’d happily buy from her again ❤️ Husband thinks upgrade is inevitable but I’m hoping to rock this for a good chunk of time.

Lovely ring, @anangel!

I recently bought an R colored AVC and I think the color is glorious! Like pure sunshine!

May it give you much enjoyment. :))

Sunshine is a wonderful description! Any tips for getting good photos? This thing is so sparkly in person, I just can’t seem to capture that light in a picture
 
What a beautiful ring! Congratulations on finding a stone that makes your heart sing.

Me too!!! :lol::lol::lol:
 
That setting is one of my faves! So gorgeous! Looks right at home on you!
The PS koolaid is no joke, I keep looking at a certain O/P stone on LAD...
 
Absolutely stunning, congratulations!! Enjoy wearing that beauty! :love:
 
Such a pretty diamond in an absolutely perfect ring! It’s so yummy & romantic! We need lots more pictures, especialy of the profile too. And will you wear it with a band?
 
Ooh this ring is simply gorgeous.:kiss2: As @Alex T writes it's yummy and romantic! She took the words right out of my mouth as that is exactly how I want to describe it. Super pretty!!! And it's the perfect setting for your delicious AVR too.:love:

May I please request more photos. We need more photos.:appl:
 
Super pretty ring. No wonder you love it! :love:
 
Thanks for all the sweet comments!
I took a few more pics. The gallery on the ring is lovely- still appropriate for a February birthday as it’s adorned with hearts.
Hope you like the pictures- I was able to catch some pastel colors today :love:
