Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

[ShinyPink]

Look what Sako has.

Well, given the economy.... can someone give me $20,000? Pretty please?

It arrived today, and I was fully expecting to return it due to the center being I1-I2. I was already spending the refund in my mind.

It is gorgeous, dammit!!!! It's so sparkly that the "I' designation is meaningless. I'm in love. So, thanks(?) I think, for finding this baby!

Stunning! Is it a particular designer?

Came across this on Brilliance. The video doesn’t work for me. I’m unclear on how good pricing is.

Is this a new one? Or antique? I can't tell

Bummer it doesn't have a GIA report. I don't trust that it's actually a J, and surprised it got a VS2 with that chunk out of the girdle.

I’m curious too if anyone knows, please share how to tell new vs true antique.

I’m curious about that too. I was wondering if maybe they got the wrong photo.

Omg it's stunning on you!!!

Thank you! It's stamped with "SD" but I can't find the designer. That stamp was used for synthetic diamonds, but this is a fancier font.

Reminds me a little of ivy New York and some Beverly K. It’s a great piece.

That looks beautiful and sparkly! You need to put in the TRR treasures thread!

Look what Sako has.

Is that definitely Peruzzi? It looks like an old mine.

I have a question on two rose cut diamond eternity rings I found. Not exactly what I want (there but in the price point I want to stick to.

They are exactly the same size, Q and M1/2 translates to 53mm circumference. And almost same width 2.8 versus 2.7mm.

But weight on one is 2.95 grams and one is 1.8 grams.

The heavier is18 carat white gold. The second is 14k white gold.

Does gold affect weight that much? Could there be other factors?

Is this a new one? Or antique? I can't tell

Looks old strictly from the girdle which has flea bites on it. Unless the fakers have mastered that technology too, but old/antique would be my guess. Symmetry not great though, outer faceting not crisp at all, … IMO it’s not typical to have such asymmetry, but it’s possible.

 

[maryjane04]

@LightBright Size Q is my size which is 8.25 ish and a M 1/2 is close to a 6.25. Based on the size alone the bigger one should need more gold. And if you're using those sizes I'm guessing the rings weren't made in the US. 14k isn't very common outside the US.

This is sooooo gorgeous!!!
Can you see the inclusions that make it an I? But I agree it doesn't matter, as the setting and mix of colors really steal the show.
I just checked the listing as I had saved it too - the price was a steal!!!

Look what Sako has.

I saw this and drooled over it too. I adore vintage designs but there are very few that I can actually see myself wearing. I wanted to save it for future inspiration, but it's gone now. I hate stories, I don't understand the concept of expiring posts.

Sooooo close to what I want! If it was 18k and she size 11 I would jump on it.

 

[autumngems]

Haha, I promise it’s not intentional! I have more time over the next couple days and can get some pictures. The Tiffany setting is incredible as expected, and the two Art Nouveau settings are just darling!

I bought this amazing Victorian gal as a RHR - SMTB also on my to do list!

OMFG, that's stunning!

Oh my, where did you get this?

 

[autumngems]

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!!!

Were these at Bonhams or Heritage?

I’m really surprised to see this for sale because Cheyenne does custom pieces AFAIK. Description says its hand carved wax cast. I love it, 18k too.
