My Diamond Collection

[Jax172]

Holy bling! Okay, now I don't know which one I like best. They are ALL lovely! Is the yellow diamond in the 3 stone ring round or cushion? It's a stunner.

It is a radiant actually. 0.45 ct GIA Fancy Yellow VS2 graded

Oh my goodness gracious!!!! What an incredible collection!

What is the total carat weight on your WF flower pendant? And can you describe what a diamond briolette is like in real life?

Wow!!!

I don't know on the WF pendant - it was a Christmas gift from my husband a couple years ago and I know he won't have a clue.

The briolette is like chandelier crystals. Very pretty for an evening out. But with 2 kids that never happens!

Gorgeous collection! I especially love that antique cut - perfect setting for it!

can you tell us about the burnished set band you're wearing with the e-ring in the first pic? I'm looking at a 2mm one right now, and would be interested in knowing the width and vendor of your band.

How is the sparkle for these burnished set bands?

I LOVE all of your earrings!!!! and that DanielM ring is TDF!

 

[pandabee]

What an amazing collection! You've got almost one of each type of cut...definitely enough to suit any of your moods!

The band was custom made by a jeweler in Chicago. It's my current wedding band, but Mark Morrell will be making me a new one to match the new setting for my engagement ring. To be honest I've never been too happy with the band. The diamonds just don't sparkle much. Now, it could be because these are not super ideal BGD diamonds we are talking about. I can't say for sure it is the way they are set. The band is about 2mm.

I think that is my goal!

Wow! You are quite the addict...thanks for the OD on bling today! Got my fix...LOL! Just beautiful!

What a beautiful collection! I especially like the asscher, which looks rather large for being less than a carat. The steps look very bright and defined. It makes me want one!

You have a great collection. I never heard of Pam Benson antiques but I just googled it and I live west of Chicago, I might have to stop in and check it out.

Call and make sure she is there. She goes to Abtique Markets (where I usually see her) on weekends and her jewelry collection goes with her. If you call they can tell you which shows she is going to. There might be one near you.

Lovely collection!!! Do you just alternate wearing them all? I have a tendency to stick to a few favorite things so I have to be careful about collecting too many things! I have always loved the design of the Daniel M setting. Is he on etsy or does he have his own site?

I will tell you since you mentioned changing your asscher setting that my asscher is given a huge boost buy being in a halo. And I think the little sparkle around it is really complimentary.

 

[motownmama]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it ALL!!!

 

[stci]

Your briolettes earrings make my day!!!! So beautiful! Congrats for this fabulous collection!

 

[woofmama]

What a gorgeous collection! I would love to have a diamond in every shape. Thank you for sharing all your pretties! I'm going to show this thread to my DH to help justify my diamond buying cravings
I googled Pam Benson, I'm in Chicago as well, and found FB but no website. Do you have a link? I would love to visit her business.

Yes I alternate - but lately not too much since I'm so busy with the toddler.
Just on Etsy as far as I know!
I would love to halo the asscher some day!

I don't think she has a website. She has a little shop but I see her at Antique Markets. I've seen her at the ones in Grayslake and Wheaton, but if you call her store you can ask what others she goes to.

Wow, fabulous collection! Everything is so lovely, I can't decide which piece I like best

Another thread I inadvertently missed until now! You have a great collection. I had not heard of Pamela Benson, but I sure do love her rings as filtered by your good taste! Thank you for taking so many excellent photos. Could you please when you have a moment take some closeups of the Daniel M ring? I think I love his work, but can't quite tell. Two other questions for you: do you have favorite pieces and what is your ring size if that's okay to ask? Thanks!
