Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

The blue ribbon earrings are 5.1mm. I messaged them. Probably still a good deal if you are looking for WG martinis

Wild! That makes the cttw more like 1.2cttw. Since I am an expert on 5mm OECs and all :P2 Loose OECs that size run ~400 a piece at the scrap sellers and that's if you can find them. Retail is closer to $900 as piece.
 
 
After a brief stint being lost on a UPS truck, Willy is here! Please check out the thread on Rocky Talk and let me know what you think. My daughter’s reaction was “woah, mom!” Teaser photo below… I kind of like the feeling of 27 grams tho, I can not lie. IMG_0962.jpeg


Side note, I might get annoyed with the resellers but all the Instagram sellers deserve a shout out for their lighting, videos, and photography. It’s tough! And where do they get those perfect plants?!

Any update on Willy?
 
Another update, this one is going back. The metal work is exquisite! And I think the stones separately are pretty but…. One is brighter and one is larger. hard to photograph, I think you can see it one photo. It’s all I can see when I look at it so I’m returning. Attaching a few photos in case someone is interested, along with a Willy photo bomb . Such a pretty girl, she always steals the show IMG_0165.jpegIMG_0164.jpegIMG_0163.jpegIMG_0162.jpegIMG_0161.jpegIMG_0160.jpeg
 
Ugh that setting! Too bad one of the stones is sub par. Could pop it out and replace with a sapphire!
 
She’s still here :). Tomorrow she has an insurance appraisal then she’s off to GIA. I will post an update on another thread but I think I’ve settled on a setting … see the earring collet I made below for a teaser :lol-2: . IMG_0159.jpeg

Hi Willy!!! Your faceting is so pretty ♥️

I love the preview! I can’t wait to see it done and on your finger!!!

Did you end up keeping the TRR brooch?

She's big!!! How big? What is your ring size? I missed the thread on this one.
 
@RRfromR it was this ring fromTRR. It’s 2.9 carats. My ring size is 6.25 - 6.5 but I like a 7 so I can wear it on left or right hand. Will probably make this one 6.5 tho.

Ohhh, perfectly chunky. How many mm is that? I'm 5.75, 5.5 if I get the old lady adjustable type, so I'm trying to ballpark the ideal spread. Yours is perfection, shows just enough sides.

It’s just shy of 9mm but it does look bigger in the photos because it sits so high off my finger in the temp setting.
 
I love this and I can't be the only one plus I know we have a ton of Size 7s here. 18k and 22k, $1275. Look at the hallmark!

Edit: @stracci2000 any thoughts on the turquoise?

Edit #2: along the same lines, this big brooch in 18k for $1375, 18.1g and 30mm wide, but no designer named:

That's my middle finger size and birthstone too.
 
Gorgeous, and a great price!!

I agree, albeit the diamonds aren’t superior the listing mentions one being darker, but the weight of gold and the price is nice.

Hopefully someone here gets it so we can see more pics lol
 
Someone get this so I don’t, I’m trying to be good this year!


I had that on my watch list- it is very pretty. The seller offered me a discount and is taking offers. I think it's a unique ring and has a lot of presence. Maybe be bad now, and be good the rest of the year?

IMO It’s likely Iranian turquoise with that color, no inclusions and that kind of gold.
