Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

[Dreamer_D]

I noticed this ring is back in stock. Below are a couple of photos TRR sent me before it sold the 1st time.

14K White Gold.

It was over my budget but since I’m constantly blowing my budget I requested photos of it anyway. I have since purchased another ring. I have 2-3 more pics if anyone wants them, I’m happy to post.

@LuluH This is a little more than you wanted to spend, but maybe your budget will stretch? Its huge and has a nice setting and the cut looks very nice. Its an OMC transitioning to OEC.

They're calling this L-M SI2-I1, but I'm guessing it's a feather and not carbon. $5K.

Thread 'Help identify this old cut? Color?'

Oct 28, 2024

Hello, can anyone help identify this cut? Is it vintage? Modern take on an old cut? It was listed as S2-i1 and color is listed as K-L. Looks a little lower than that to me but I’m no expert. I’ve attached a few pics next to my mined H and an E Lab. Thank you for your help!!

Edit - it does have a culet. The girdle is not faceted.

I was wondering where on earth the ruby was. I’m appreciate you linking your thread. I had called them to get photos since it was in a store.

Thank you for thinking of me! Very pretty. I just returned the other ring yesterday... Waiting for them to refund us before I have funds again. I am waiting to post on rocky talky until that happens!

You traded UP baby!

 

[Mreader]

It's $500 for a $2500 purchase!

Where did you see that offer? Do you think maybe it was sent to only some customers?

Edit - I see it now. They certainly don’t make it very obvious! It’s in small print at the top and I didn’t even notice and I look at the site daily.

Wow, that’s an amazing deal for a stone that size if it’s good!

Edit - just saw the thread Vitona posted. I’m out of it today!

Ruby?

 

[winnietucker]

Ruby?

The listing said there was a tiny ruby.

FWIW they never sent me the photos…. I might just give up with them unless it’s either very cheap or photos don’t matter much.

@LuluH … it just went 10% off! Plus with the sale today, you would get an extra $500 off!

I think you get a site credit after the fact for a future purchase I am not positive though. I tried to click on it to see what the * meant but couldn’t.

Well darn it! I prefer my interpretation

Ruby?

It shows in the first thread that @vitona526 started.

This seems like a good price for a Cartier engagement ring. Size 52 (6?), 0.90 carat F/VVS1 for $6495. It looks basically brand new:

For a .8 lucida cut in plat, the price is pretty good

Art Deco Orange Blossom Wheat Band 18k

Beautiful Art Deco orange blossom band with a wheat pattern on the profile of each side. They truly don’t make them like this anymore. The gold has a great patina that only comes with age and I’ve chosen to leave it as is but if you would like it rhodium plated, I can have that done for an extra...

Ok. I hate myself for posting these since I want them. BUT both are tension set and not my size, which is a problem since tension sets can't be resized much (or at all). Please someone else buy them and save me.

This is the one I asked about with the makers mark. It *could* be Steven kretchmer, but not sure. Either way it's platinum, lovrly, and a great price. I am endlessly mad at my size 7 fingers!

I would put money on that TRR ring being Kretchmer. The marks all line up.

That was my conclusion too. I am SO MAD at my finger size!!!!

 

[LightBright]

I thought a stamp saying 99 meant 24k gold, but vendor has this listed as 22k. Any insights?

My guess is that it was tested with an XRF to be lower than the mark stamp. Or it could be a vendor error. Or it could be a CYA for the vendor. I’ve seen this several times when searching for a 24k ring where the vendor listed the gold content as lower than the purity stamp. These are just guesses though.

TMI I eventually found a 24k ring but decided the color of that ring’s particular 24k gold looked terrible on my skin tone. For anyone interested, the color of 999 gold looked bright yellow with a greenish tone on my yellowish skin. I wanted to love it but found it to be just not for me, and I still want a 24k ring in concept!

 

[LightBright]

I assume it's these but I wouldn't be able to say what they are!

Yes. Antique French rings have metal content stamps on outside of shank (I only know about antiques, not sure if modern is different). For example one I’ve seen had a half eagle half rhinoceros stamp (it looks without a loupe like a tiny horizontal diamond shape) for silver crown and 18k yellow gold shank. There are Frenchhallmarks you can find on line to figure out what they mean.

I don’t know if a one carat rose cut would have a 9mm spread.

The price on this seems wildly unreasonable, but I've never heard of a Meteor cut, so that's cool!
