My new *old* rings...

[poshpepper]

Here are my new *old* rings...

First up is a cluster ring with an champagne OEC center. The OEC center is approximately .4 cts and the rest of the stones add up to about 1ctw. The OEC center has a small chip and so does one of the side stones, but you have to look really close to see and the sparkle is so blinding that I dont think anyone will notice...

My jeweler estimated the center stone and other diamonds to be pre 1950s... the setting is newer I think.

The second ring is a single cut diamond band (double row). It has 19 stones with approximately .3 ctw (if I remember correctly) set in 18kt white gold. This ring was represented to be from pre 1960s.

Let me know what you ladies think

and thanks for looking!

DandiAndi -- Thanks, I love the color on the first one too, its cool to see its different personalities

Thanks SDL!!! The stone does look pinkish sometimes, its pretty cool.

Isis -- Thanks!!! hee hee, I have put them on together just for fun and they actually look pretty good together. I wouldn''t wear them that way but they sure do pack some sparkle!
