Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

[YadaYadaYada]

This one sold. Did anyone here buy it??

I was seriously considering it but by the morning it had sold. Probably for the best anyways because I really need to have a setting made for my star sapphire ring (the setting is shot and I nearly permanently lost a diamond down the drain!)

Maybe we will see it again, hopefully not marked up by an IG seller

It's nice and very clean, but for $250K I feel like one could do better?!

I was thinking, "meh?"

Something about this makes me feel very uncomfortable

 

[Dreamer_D]

I don’t see it! I clicked your name and looked at threads, but it’s not showing up

It seems I have a thing for toi et moi rings after all. Roughly .75 OEC with perfect, flowery facets. Super clean and white. Natural pearl.

OMg that setting!!

Haha I will definitely NOT use the setting. It says it weighs 26 grams!

At least that's a lot of scrap money to contribute to a new setting!

The setting is sooooo bad!

Wowza! Shop around for the best scrap values! I had an 8g setting and managed to find a local scrap place offering like $10 more per gram (it was a little shady and all cash but I still took the coin!)

When they have it in a store, the sales person will often send photos.

Yes. @newtojewels is right. If you call the store direct, they will send you photos. This one was tricky. I called a store and asked to have it sent from the warehouse to the store. It took over a week and the store photos aren’t the best. But I don’t see a nail head and it doesn’t appear to be ‘cape’ color.
Hoping it works out or it will be my third return to TRR this month (covering my face). Im really hoping to free Willy!

That is interesting that you got them to send to store from warehouse! I will keep that in mind in the future

In keeping with the beetle theme:

Victorian Egyptomania Beetle Brooches — Erica Weiner

Iridescent insects were imported en masse from South America in the 1880s to satisfy England's obsession with an ancient Egyptian motif: the scarab beetle. Real scarab beetles (aka "dung beetles") look nothing like these shiny green guys, but no big deal to the Victorians. Authenticity wasn't...

There’s a possibility that it was (indirectly) me…if so thank you @lala646 and I’m sorry @YadaYadaYada !

No need to apologize at all, in fact my husband and my wallet thank you

Can’t wait to see what you think of it!

Haha happy to “help”! I hope your star sapphire gets a lovely setting upgrade too. Please show us when that happens!

I’m quite excited to see it, I think it was described as an OEC but I don’t know how typical it is for that type of cut as it maybe looks a tiny bit off-round? Maybe it’s my eyes though.

Yes pls show us pics!

Aww okay I will! It’s being shipped to where I will be headed for the holidays so I will be asking for loads of pics once it arrives from ebay authentication!

Does anyone recognize this makers mark?

I’m not following antique diamond pricing so I don’t know if it’s a good deal, but it is big so I thought I’d share it.

Very interesting! The price is good. I had no idea that this company has natural diamonds, I wonder if they are newly cut with antique shapes.
