This post is going to be super vague because....snipers.

I’ve found a Van Craeynest set (engagement ring and matching band). The set is $1600 and I guess I’m wondering if that is “an amazing you need this in your life” price?

The engagement ring does not have a center stone, essentially it would be similar to buying this set however this is not the set I’m looking at.

I’m sorry for the vagueness, I am not taking any chances someone swipes it out from under me ;)2

Ugh, I attached the wrong photo here is an example of a VC set that is similar to the one I found:

Gah, beautiful! I love VC settings! It's a great price too.
 
I love VC too. It’s a great price. Just my opinion, but you could probably resell it in the future for at least what you’re paying. =)2
 
Do you love it? If yes, then definitely go for it!!!
 
Van Craeynest jewelry is very expensive to buy(deservedly so!) on the secondary market.
The price a great one, especially for a set.
Swoop the deal!8-)
 
Pounce!! Then come show us lots of pictures!!!
 
I'm sure that if Yada likes this set, it MUST be fabulous!!
Are you thinking of setting your culet-less OEC into it?
 
If so, I cannot WAIT to see this!
 
@ItsMainelyYou and @lala646 thanks for weighing in, I admit I was surprised and excited when I came upon this last night!

@stracci2000, yes that is the plan, a permanent home for my no culet OEC so @PreRaphaelite is a fan of that idea I see:D

Now of course there is a snafu, my bling budget is empty, actually when I was looking last night I was just casually window shopping, not searching for this in particular. I also have to be honest and consider if I I will wear this set (which sounds crazy I know) because I tend to wear the same rings exclusively.

So I am thinking it all over as I cross my fingers something will sell soon. Of course I had some bling money earlier this month and then the car needed repairs....because that’s how it goes!

Right? I really can’t complain though, it could have cost us $1900 but we ended up only having to pay $1300.
 
Trust me, I get it, and the something came up(old claptrap house)is the story of my life
I almost bought a beautiful spinel a little while ago and wouldn't ya know, the day I decide the entire electrical panel to the house decides to go to the tune of a couple grand- because, of course. Maybe I'll be able to buy again in a couple of years.:lol:
I almost never have disposable income and I always find my deal of the century and always have to let it go. It's an exercise now.
But man, I hope it works out for you. I want pictures so I can bask in the vicarious glow of a smoking good deal.:wink2:
 
@ItsMainelyYou, isn’t it always the way, I’m so sorry that you had to pass up that spinel, maybe the next one will be even better, stupid electrical panel!

If I pass on it I will share where to find it, then at least we can bask in the glow of another PS’ers good fortune=)2
 
Works for me!8-)
I'm happy it was only the electrical panel :lol:
Now, the appliances are conspiring, I can hear them.

They absolutely talk to each other, that’s the reason for that humming sound they make! :lol:
 
Hi @YadaYadaYada I am on the edge of my seat, waiting to see if you decide to get this lovely set. If you pass on it and @ItsMainelyYou passes on it, could you please let me know, since I am definitely in the market for a lovely VC set? I can send you contact details via LT, if necessary. Thanks! Can't wait to see it either way.
 
@YadaYadaYada yes a little bit vague but you have such fantastical good taste im confident I'll love it
 
Good morning all!

I don’t mean to keep you all hanging. Last night I consulted with one of my level headed PS’er friends on IG and after sleeping on it I’ve decided to pass. It will probably become a collectible for me vs being worn daily as it should be.

So with that said here is my contact info for LT. I don’t really want to put one of my frequent window shopping spots out for all to see! @ItsMainelyYou, you have first dibs followed by @springerspaniel

Here are pics of the actual rings:

and my LT contact:

Vintage Heavy Sterling chain 18” | Loupe Troop

Whoever buys promises to come back and share!
;)2
 
@YadaYadaYada a sound choice! Who needs collectibles that sit unworn? Not I either!
What a generous offer to pass this deal on.Your kindness is what makes PS so amazing. Whoever gets it HAS to come back and share handshots!!
 
@lala646, it’s all good. Actually when I was talking to my jewelry consultant she asked how I would feel if she bought it. Actually thought she was serious for a second and I was excited for her! So that’s when I knew this wasn’t meant for me, why not pass it on so we can (hopefully) all enjoy =)2

@Slick1, exactly, I’ve got my two rings I adore, no desire to wear another. Sometimes you just have to get really honest with yourself and an outside voice of reason helps too!
 
Thank you so much for considering me, @YadaYadaYada. I agree with @Slick1 that your kindness is one of the things that makes PS so welcoming.

@ItsMainelyYou --please let me know if you choose to pass on this. I have been looking specifically for a yellow gold VC set for awhile. I hope whichever you choose, I get to see what the set looks like in handshots!!!
 
What a fun thread! Late to the party but happy for everyone! And can’t wait for pics!
 
GO for it @springerspaniel!! NOw ! NOw! :lol:

* Thank you for thinking of me @YadaYadaYada. SO sweet of you.8)

I hope you get it Springer! I can't wait to see it!

I'm so excited! Fingers double crossed, it's a beautiful choice.
Congratulations, 20th is a big one, I had my spinel set made for mine and it means everything to me.

:lol:Look at that post I left before, I keyboard smashed it trying to get it out as fast as possible


*Also, (now that I'm a tiny bit more calm) @YadaYadaYada thank you again, for not only being the deal hunter but sharing that with us. It's giving me all the feels, you lovely girl.
 
OMG I’m dying here! Come back to let us know!
