"Panic" buying?

[Tartansparkles]

I read a couple of times today that the price of gold is falling, not sure how that's going to work out for PSers but it seems a bit strange.

Glad to hear there are incoming stones! I am excited for you and can’t wait to see the ring. Just pack up the old one and drop it off and send money. After that, the waiting is the hardest part!
Have you chosen a three stone setting?

So, the stone will be sent out on Monday! Yeah!

I have a pretty good idea what I want for a 3 stone. I'm planning on yellow gold with white gold heads/prongs. Something like
this...Its a trellis setting that I've modified to have baskets. May or may not add small donuts.

Edit...I also have to buy another .46 stone. The one I currently have is a "J". Wonder if I could do an "I" or if I need to stick with both
the same color?

That would be awesome! Something we could really use right now...but I thought gold was also going to get a tariff?

I really like that and like that the center stone has six prongs. Who will do the setting?
I know that others have had different color side stones. Since they are smaller, the color difference might not matter at all.

Gold prices have fallen a bit because people who invest in gold usually do so as a hedge, and therefore hold both gold and stocks, and many hold leveraged positions. When the markets spiralled downwards many investors have had to sell some gold to cover their market losses. End of the week usually brings margin calls.

I just panic bought a leg of Jamon Iberico de bellota. At least I’ll eat well while Rome is burning.

I can’t play a fiddle anyhow.

Very nice! I would add donuts. We talked about this a lot in @bee24 thread about her three stone.

I think you can easily go I color, my five stone diamonds are at KL and I can’t tell them apart. I also have an HI pair of OECs and they look identical. These are all GIA graded. I think it’s more of a mind clean thing.

... It's not good for anyone, ...

Not true.
I'm sure everything happening is VERY good for billionaires.
Nobody else matters, including a certain 77.3 million American voters.

Billionaires, baby!
Billionaires!

Saw this on Reddit - more clarity on how diamond tariffs will work (for now, subject to change of course).

Ooh, that reminds me,
You still owe me some of that ham.

Come on over! Just don’t get detained at the airport.

DK will be doing the setting. I got a decent quote late last year, but I bet it's gone up since then!

Thanks @Dreamer_D ...I'll be checking out her thread today!

Hopefully not too much! Should be beautiful!

I wrote in another thread that I lost a bunch in the stock market (as I'm sure many did). I said I was gonna stop shopping, but oops, taking advantage of a few things.

Today, I bought a pair Madewell trousers on sale for first time.

I've given all my yellow gold jewelry to my daughter because I've been white gold only for years.

But today, I suddendly felt I want yellow again, so bought a 24" yellow gold wheat chain.

I'm trying to resist more.

Maybe the lowest-end full-frame mirrorless Canon camera that I've dawdled on for many months. Have casually watched the price bounce around. It did not move last week. Not buyin' it from Amazon that's for sure.
