Did you get it?!?

I never did bid on it, unfortunately I ended up with the crud and am just getting back to semi-functional now. The estate that was selling that lot was from a super interesting lady also!

I bought it! Confirming it was not the price you last saw LOL. I’m obsessed with antique Tiffany though, and this setting is exquisite and seems like such an amazing contender for an engagement ring. Except I wasn’t thinking about the fact that it would take something close to an eight carat OMC to fill that center!! I’m going to get it and see what might make sense.

I also won a second lot of two platinum and diamond Art Nouveau settings, which I bid on as a back up and accidentally won. Look how sweet those designs are! These hold around 7mm-8mm stones.

I’m not sure if I’ll keep all of them, but I suppose I have some searching to do in the meantime!

I also did some digging into this auction and it’s actually super fascinating. The owner was a philanthropist who collected everything from rare art to jewels for many decades. Most of the items haven’t seen the open market in over 30 to 40 years, and they’ve had about five different auctions to sell everything over the past six months. 100% of the proceeds from the auctions are going to charities close to the family’s heart. I love knowing that the money I spent is going to good causes - I read that this woman sadly lost her child to cancer many years ago. Here is the article for anyone who’s interested to learn more!

Anyway - open to any and all ideas about what to fill these guys with!!!

I just saw you bought the Tiffany -congrats its lovely! I was planning on bidding but ended up with some nasty bug so it was the furthest thing from my mind. Glad it went to a PSer I’ll be excited to see what you decide to do with her.
