#JOTW Meet Neva, my anniversary upgrade

[JV36912]

Just, wow What a gorgeous ring! Congrats to twenty years!

 

[luckygreen317]

This is Neva, and she’s a Belle Epoque toi et moi. My husband and I are celebrating 20 years together this year, and the time was right for some new sparkles!

The white diamond is named Rachel, and she’s a super spready 2.76 M SI1 OEC, faint brown modifier and strong blue fluorescence.

The yellow is Samantha, 3.74 fancy yellow VS1.

She’s a lot of ring for a 5.75 finger, which is a good sign of DSS-resistance.

My husband misheard me when I said this is a toi et moi style - he heard it as “tw** et moi” and honestly, that’s stuck in my head now.

Congrats. This is one of the most beautiful if not thee most beautiful diamond ring posted on PS.

Thank you! That’s high praise indeed.

Whenever i ll get into a talk with someone about rare / precious gems i ll make sure to show them yours as an example of beauty!!!

Your ring just made me search more fiercely for the perfect one for my gf!

Thanks and good luck in your search! I’d love to see it when you find it.

HELLO! Congrats on 20 years call it whatever you want that's amazeballs!

Thank you!

[Begonia]

Whoa!!!
I think I peed a little there... in a good way tho.

 

[diamondyes]

Absolutely exceptional.

Congrats on this big anniversary! Tell us more. Was it hard to find? Did you always know you wanted such a thing, or you knew when you saw it?

 

[oncrutchesrightnow]

That bow is adorable.

Congratulations!

 

[madelise]

Wow she’s amazing!!

lol @ your husband. I misheard when I heard of moi et toi first (wrong order but commonly done) and thought someone said “my tw*t”. I can’t un-think it ever; every single time I see a toi et moi, my brain goes “my tw*t ring!”

So he isn’t alone hahaha

 

[peppermintpatty]

Congratulations on your 20th anniversary!

Your beautiful ring is fabulous! I love the facet pattern on the yellow diamond. Your dh is definitely a keeper! Obviously for more than this one reason, but kudos to him for knocking this anniversary present out of the ballpark! It's stunning!

Ii have to say, the little ring box is adorable!

 

[McLaren]

wow Wow WOW!! How beautiful is Neva! I've never seen anything like it!! Wishing you a happy 20th Anniversary.

 

[kathley]

Your ring is absolutely stunning! I love it and Happy Anniversary!

 

[PastryGirl]

Good lord!

 

[plad25]

Wow. An amazing, breathtaking, stand out piece. Congratulations on your milestone!

 

[Inked]

OMG, this is STUNNING!! i absolutely LOVE it! Congratulations on 20 years!

 

[Ally T]

Actually speechless…………………………………….

Completely spectacular! Congratulations on 20 years & PLEASE indulge us with handshots!

You answered some of my questions. I was wondering if the setting was a reproduction because the condition and fabrication of the baskets look newer so I too will be very curious what the appraiser had to say!

The diamonds are phenomenal. Such a fantastic pairing. Do you know if either has been recut/polished or are they completely original?

Will you wear it often? It’s a substantial piece and also very spread out. Might take some practice for daily wear!

And of course happy 20th. This year is also my 20th anniversary of meeting my DH. It feels like a bunch of us are celebrating this milestone this year! I also have an anniversary ring in the works, though not as phenomenal as yours lol Still, it’s a wonderful milestone to mark with jewelry.

 

[oldcutclubmember]

I just adore this ring so much and I am so happy that a PSer got it so that I can continue to admire it!

 

[newtojewels]

This ring is so so absolutely stunning on you, I love everything about it! Good luck ever getting anything done again while wearing Neva, since I'm sure you'll be too busy admiring to do anything else! And of course congratulations on your anniversary

Thank you! Ironically, I dislike toi et moi rings in general, but this ring made me look twice when I saw it on IG and at a private jewlery event. I didn’t think it was within my budget and I was plotting to get a different ring entirely, but after chatting with my friend @Through.the.Louping.Glass I made a (slightly) impulsive decision to go for it.

That bow is adorable.

Congratulations!

Thank you!

He’ll be pleased to hear it!

Thank you! The yellow diamond has the better cut of the two for sure. The box is from the lovely Kitty Baxter shop.

Happy anniversary to you too! Looking forward to seeing your ring.

I’m hoping that the appraiser can answer most of those questions. I was told that the shank was rebuilt because the previous owner had an arthritis shank put on. The diamonds are original to the mounting and Rachel has girdle chips and an extra facet, so they were possibly polished, unlikely to have been recut. The basket settings have scratches under a 10x loupe so they were polished, but I don’t think they were newly cast.

Thank you! Neva sits next to my laptop so I can stare at her while I’m working.

WOW!!! Huge and gorgeous. Each stone is so beautiful on their own but together.....stunning!

Yep, she is large and in charge!

It could be original! I can’t imagine it was a “hard worn” ring during its lifetime!

 

[winnietucker]

This is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen in my life.

 

[CMN]

@JPie i hold similar sentiments in that toi et moi rings rings are not really my thing. But your ring is really gorgeous. Not to ignore those spectacular stones, but I do love the bow

 

[Tartansparkles]

I came back for more looks - stunning, just stunning. Wear in good health and happy anniversary.
