My sort of antique set...

[DiaDiva]

One of my hobbies is to surf on e-bay ala Forte Kitty but I just don''t have her eye or luck. But one day...I spotted this Edwardian set available for sale. However, it was only for the setting with no diamonds. Hey...no problem...I have my trusted jeweller to save the day. So I went ahead to bid and was the only bidder. Finally, I won it for $50.75 including shipping to Singapore.

I gave the set to my jeweller and voila...here it is...

E-ring centre RB is 0.16ct while the side stones are 2 pointers. W-ring stones are 1.5 points each.

I love it and it''s my only YG set (14K) and it really looks much bigger than it is...

Here is the first shot.

That''s beautiful diadiva! What a fantastic find! It looks great on your hand and definitely bigger than a .16 center stone.

Thanks, Neatfreak, Monarch. I really like the set and have been wearing it all day since I got it from my jeweller. It''s very dainty and the YG is an interesting change for me.

Thanks, Love in bloom, Dee Jay, Sharon, widget, chrono, Tacori E-ring, Metro, Firegoddess, oshinbreez, kcoursolle, richipat, diamondseeker2006 and NYCsparkle!

I love old jewellery!!! When my jeweller set the diamonds, he also cleaned up the rings so they look brand new but they were already in good condition when I bought them. Wish I knew a little about the history of the ring but it''s amazing to wear a set that''s older than my parents.

This is how the set used to look. Pics are courtesy of the seller.

I''m now on the lookout for an OMC or OEC but there''s no rush...
