#JOTW Introducing my new Marquis-licious 4.31 carat ring!

[Rubies-R-Me]

Hi again!
I'm back with more pix.. thank you guys for sharing the smiles.. what amazing and sweet comments.
For now I plan to wear it with the band I got to go with my emerald cut ring 20 years ago. It's alternating rounds and baguettes. Now I'm on the hunt for an all baguette eternity band.. pretty much the same ring minus the rounds and bars in between.
Second set of pix is comparing this new stone I/J? stone with med blue fluorescence to my emerald cut ring which is a L. Just an interesting comparison I think.

 

[Rubies-R-Me]

Oh! And here is the type of band I am now on the hunt for to go with the new ring.

Oh my gosh - I don’t know which is prettier!

They are like Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Onassis (and I think we know who is who! )

Good suggestion to add bedroom to my "kitchen to living room" itinerary of ring wearing. Will add 33% more distance!
Your compliments are so sweet.. thank you so much.

Oh thanks Missy! You are the owner of MANY swoonworthy pieces so your compliment is extra kind!!
I'm hopefully going to check out that all baguette band next week.. it's a little too large size wise but it may lay nicely under the marquise ring.
Fingers crossed!

Hello everyone!
I have been looking for a new ring for about a year now. First I was looking at warm old cut stones to set in a yellow gold Dahlia. I saw many that I liked but nothing that was the perfect combination of shape, price and size. Then a month or two ago @RedHairDontCare's thread caught my attention and I started looking at marquise rings again. I have always loved marquise stones.. there is something just so classic and mid-century about them when set in platinum with 2 baguettes. I saw one or two on Ebay that I liked from high volume sellers I have bought from in the past but neither was right either. One was a size 6.5 and the deck of the ring would hang over my smaller (size 4.5) finger.
Then THIS pretty much just dropped into my lap from a large auction house. I happened to notice it the day before the sale and couldn't get to see it in the flesh but the lovely person who helped me sent me a ton of pix and video and really described the stone in great detail. Making it even a little more complicated to buy sight unseen was the fact that it was an I1 stone. She did say (and it was 100% true) that the imperfections were really not noticeable to the naked/untrained eye. So I took a chance.. bid and won the auction!
I just received it and it's absolutely perfect.
And it's exactly my size too!!
Without further blabbing.. here it is.
Not certified.. Guesstimated by them at I/J color with medium blue fluorescence and 4.31 carats. The stone was weighed so the 4.31 is "certified."
I can't stop staring at my finger. It's so white and sparkles like crazy.
I'm not sure where I am going to actually wear this monster but even if I wear it back and forth from my kitchen to my living room and then to one fancy party a year I will be happy just to own it.
I will post more pix tomorrow with a matching wedding band that I am going to borrow from another set and some pix comparing my emerald cut M with this whiter I/J.
Thanks for sharing the shine and the smiles!smiles

Wowzers that's an amazing ring!!!!!!! It's absolutely gorgeous and I love a large marquis with baguette sides...so classic!

Rubies--you should post in the long sleeve thread! Need most photos!

And this one also!!

Show me your mostly eye clean I1’s!

Hi Everyone! I’m going to look at 4 carat OEC I1. The dealer says that she’s eye clean except for a white feather. I’d love to see your mostly eye clean I1’s. I think they are rare but they must exist, right?
