[Ladygrey]

If he hasn't noticed, it's because he's gone blind from the flashes coming off that thing!

Wow! What a gorgeous ring! It fits perfectly into your amazing collection. You have a little bit of everything with those three rings, halo, color and gorgeous facets. That jeweler sounds like an amazing find all on his own. Congratulations!

Hah! My husband would assume a new ring was fake. He is used to me buying $30 knock-offs to wear around before I go for the “real thing.” He always tells me, “I think that fake one looks GRRRREAT!”

Ok so. I didn’t set out to find this ring. She found ME. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. There’s a jeweler near where I live who always has the MOST amazing estate pieces. Museum-quality stuff. I would pay him to just spend an afternoon going through his trays in his safe, his collection is that extensive.

So a few weeks ago I was dropping off a repair on a bracelet, and just on a whim popped over to see if he had anything new or special. And like a moth drawn to a blue electric zapper, I was immediately drawn to this ring. I’ve always been enamored of emerald cuts but my preferences were pretty specific: rectangle but a bit of a chubby rectangle. Slightly warm body color. Not too chunky - just a nice hall-of-mirrors effect without any dead zones. And I love half moon accent stones. And there she was. And here she is.

Specs:
GIA 5.51 J/VS2 emerald cut. No fluor.
~1ctw half moons (one of them has a tiny chip at the girdle - not significant enough IMO to want to go to the trouble of getting it recut).
~1.5ctw melee in the band. Platinum. Finger size 6-1/4.

Fun fact: my husband hasn’t noticed yet. Let’s see how this plays out

Wow its so gorgeous!! Congrats!

 

[Fabulous50]

Just for fun, here are a few pics of some of my favorite pieces from this dealer. Look at the gorgeous plique à jour enamel here.

and another similar art nouveau brooch/necklace with a carved moonstone face.

Wow again!! Would you please share the name of the dealer/store? Thanks!!
