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’ll be excited to see what you decide to do with her.

Update I found it in my old photos. I want to say it was only $1100! And I almost bid on it and the first time it got no bids and the second time I still almost bid on it and the second time I think it sold for 1500. I saved in my favorites because the ring was so beautiful And I regretted not getting it.
Well I “bought the piece”! I didn’t go nuclear as @lavenderdragonfly23 suggested lol I ended up making another offer, slightly higher, and they countered right away. I was temped to counter again but it was only a $20 spread at that point and I just wanted it. I pretty much what @LightBright suggested which is my typical MO.
It’s an antique 18k gold band, 2.6mm wide and 3.4g. It has an inscription with initials and the date of April 10-1920. Size 10.75. I have found it very difficult to locate an 18k band in my size and with the dimensions I want so it will pair well with my rings. My ring size is a more typical “men’s size” and men don’t usually wear dainty rings! Fingers crossed this works out! I paid $350.
Somebody please put me out of my misery? 2cttw, size 7.75, $1450. I LOVE that basket weave- like design, but I’m sure that band woul be too wide for me.

…. Nuclear 
So so so happy you got it!!! And at an incredible price…. WITH an inscription
Are you planning on wearing it solo or with your 3 and 5 stone beauties?!?
inscriptions as much as I do, if you ever want a pretty floral engraved thin antique Tiffany platinum band, let me know and I’ll get you the link. It has a Feb 25,1916 inscription. It’s currently a 12.25.

I so want an old art deco Tiffany eternity band now. I blame lavenderdragonfly. My wallet will be happy if the hunt takes a long time but maybe I will find one someday. Dreaming of something with engraving on the sides
You are most welcome
Just don’t buy the 3ct frenchie that’s too big for me, I’m gonna buy it anyways, after I win big at scratch offs

I got Maxine graded! This is the MaxPawn ring that @lala646 bought and returned and then I scooped up and un-set.
She came back 1.61 J Si1! I was worried about the chip, but apparently GIA wasn't. And much whiter than she looked in the setting.

Retails comps are close to what I estimated, minimum $7K, or up to $9K at OWD.
The closest comp I can find is this one, that's also a transitional, but a bit smaller and lower clarity with a noticeable inclusion. So mine was not bad for $3750 for a gorgeous cut, including a setting with two little baguettes (or biscuits, as my boyfriend called them... it took me a while to figure out what he was talking about
