Disclosure: it is night here and the lighting in my house is terrible!
Day 9: This is my original wedding set! DH went out at Christmas to buy the engagement ring, it was busy so there was hardly any parking. He gets in there to buy the ring and he is $1,000 short even after buying out all his vacation time, he applies for the store credit card but isn't approved for enough but somehow he works out a deal with the manager and gets the ring! It is 18k and this diamond is not the original one because the first one got a chip on the girdle! The wedding band is princess and baguettes, I don't wear them since I've discovered old cuts but I keep them safe and sound with my other treasures.
Ah! Finally we see the original set! I think you've got lots of treasure yet to show us!
@stracci2000, that might be my favorite picture ever that you posted and I'm not even a super cameo fan!

@stracci2000, someday when I have some money I'm flying out to you so we can nerd out over all your vintage treasures! I can only imagine what other cool stuff you have hanging around.
I apologize for posting this again, but it is one of my most romantic and special pieces. It looks yellow in the pics, but it's 18kt rose gold. It has my mother's engagement diamond, my grandmother's engagement and wedding band diamonds, a diamond my dad gave me when I was a teen, and the diamonds from my husband's wedding band.

Don't apologize! This is very romantic and such good eye catching bling to add to this thread! I love its design and history, so I'm happy you did post it.
Great find! And Edwina is lovely.I wish this were antique but oh well... my Valentine’s gift to myself, I snagged a little trinket, just for funsies, It’s 18kwg, on an 18” chain, and the diamonds are tiny but nice quality as far as I can see so far.
I started a separate thread with the logo marking, in case anyone could help me determine the maker, but at the moment I don’t have any clues. In any case, it seems pretty <3
Here it is with a spare old mine cut, just so I could compare the colors.
And with Edwina...
It really is cool! Does he wear it?
I love signet rings. I used to have my Nana's, but somehow lost it during a move.

So lovely! I'm sure you get lots of comments when you wear this out and about!
