A couple months back I bought an old cut diamond, and decided to make it the center stone of my new three stone ring. Side stones were some earrings I had been given for my wedding. I know they are not the finest, but they are sentimental and it would have blown my budget to buy new ones. I wanted something similar to my existing e-ring, but bigger and in rose gold.
Soooo, I contacted Lesley at Brian Gavin Diamonds and they made a beautiful Truth three stone in rose gold. My ring should be arriving this morning by Fed Ex! I am excited but these photos make me more nervous than anything.
I don't have any info on the sidestones, unfortunately. I estimate that they are about .40, near colorless, SI. eye clean but I could see inclusions with my loupe and there are some visible in the photos. They look very pretty in person.
The photos make the center diamond (1.02 old cut) look warmer than it is in person. When I bought it unmounted, it was estimated by my jeweler to be an F, VS1. I saw it in the scope and next to his master stones and it looked legit. No certification on any of the stones.
I am nervous posting these here, because all of you have such beautiful rings! I am just happy that I get to play and that I can have a BGD setting for my pretties! I can't wait to post hand shots.
Thanks for looking!
