Isn't it divine! What cut is your diamond? I would love to see this with a puffy crowned old cut. :)
I still have it in mind for a (lab) pink sapphire.

Omg! I was hoping that you would chime in! I didn’t realize you were going to do a project with this design- Do you mind if I use this as an inspiration??

It’s being recut now… it will be a transitional (my grandmother’s diamond, which I inherited, is a transitional and I’ve always loved them, I guess because they were only cut for such a short time and I love the broad facet pattern).

I’m obsessed with prongs and have been trying to decide which kind I want - this setting is similar the things I’ve been saving but these prongs are amazing!

Of course not! Go for it! I think this would be amazing with a diamond! I wish I still had more views of it stored to share with you. It was from an IG vendor. I'll dig around to see if I can find it again. (No promises :( )

My mistake @lulu_ma its 4.7 carat H colour SI clarity. All measurements are guesstimates. It sold at auction at Bonhams on 1st December for £44,400 (approx 54,500 USD) including the buyer’s premium
Here’s the link. I think I have more pictures of it and other goodies on my insta 7E6FEE69-693D-4D50-B258-6884A8EE8F6D.png

Bonhams : DIAMOND SINGLE-STONE RING

The old pear-cut diamond, weighing 4.71 carats, between shoulders set with baguette-cut diamonds, ring size E½ (sizing beads)

It was the auction where I missed out on the art deco diamond and emerald line bracelet :(

Wow-that's a great price for that color and clarity!

Sorry you didn't win the bracelet :(sad

They are both stunning. Hopefully next year we will both be more lucky with art deco bracelets!

Hear, hear! You and I fought inflation by spending less. No, I’m not bitter at all…haha

Wishing that next year is as good or better than this year!

I think choker length is more appropriate for such design, don't you think?

Ooooh did you go to their showroom in DTLA or the store in San Marino?

DTLA! Unfortunately most of their inventory was at a trunk show…but I still saw great pieces!

A big takeaway- super small frenchies lose a bit of their charm. When they are larger, their pillowy, shimmery facets really shine!
