Ideas with a 4 figure budget

[blingmeupscotty]

I understand 4 figures is vague! Let's just keep it under 5 okay? What would you buy yourself? It is my annual treat yourself time. I have one project R&D going with a lavender/blue sapphire but diamonds are pulling me from it. The truth is I'm not rushing the process. I don't want to buy the right color, but wrong size stone. Or vice versa, because it's not a small investment.

So, onto the wish list! A ring.. No gemstones.. I'd like to stick to the diamonds please. Second hand will get me more bang for my buck! I'm ok with non certified as long as they are from reputable vendors. I'm also GREAT with color. I prefer it. I can't do "white" diamonds. I like warmth.. slight or heavy, makes no difference to me. I'm not partial to any cut, but I have a very old soul. So a ring, or earrings would be a nice splurge. Care to help me shop? Lab Grown are CERTAINLY on the table as well!! but those would require certs.

Thank you in advance ps'ers you know where all the deals are!!!

ps: nothing enhanced in any way please, ive learned my lesson one too many times with enhanced diamonds!

I think I’d post this in Rocky Talky. That’s where the ring and diamond shoppers are. Then after you buy one, post it in Show Me the Bling! I’d also specify the price range.

I've requested it to be moved, great idea tyvm.

Also would be good to know what you already have My first thought was a 5 stone ring but I don’t know if you have one.

Next year is our 20th anniversary, and I'm picking out a Tacori setting for my 2.56ct radiant. I love the Simply Tacori RoyalT with baguette side stones!

and this is the band I want with it.

I think if you give us a little more information, we can provide more meaningful ideas!

I'd at least narrow the scope to type...ex. earrings or stacking bands

My first thought was a pair of antique dormeuse earrings

Did you see this? It is colorless, but I think it is a unique, pretty center. The stones originally came from PFG and he made the ring.

Sold - Gorgeous Diamond Gypsy Ring

I had this ring custom made recently and love it, however, I’m lusting for a large champagne diamond to be set in a gypsy ring. The center stone is a GIA graded 1.01 ct, E color “cushion brilliant” with 0.61ct baguettes on each side. Set in 18kt yellow gold. I am selling at my cost. I will...

I already replied to your other thread. But I've been scouring the Preloved section here (spending imaginary money is my favourite thing) and here are some of my favs:

I can't see any earrings on there that I liked and were available, but I think you said you don't actually have studs yet - I would totally do studs first!

GORGEOUS! I also have a Tacori and think they embody “Royalty”

I think it depends on what you want! If you want a large stone I'd say go lab diamond (I did and am so glad I did) if you want something with soul, I'd say go for an older diamond and setting.

I just saw this pop up on instagram and thought it was gorgeous! https://www.instagram.com/p/CVgFgGYPXGo/
