The two week club!

:lol:
I’m on a ban until Christmas too because I went nuts at the beginning of this year! I bought 3.04ctw studs from Blue Nile, a 3/4 eternity from Brian Gavin, a new custom setting for my engagement diamond and a bunch of preowned bands on eBay! I’m already looking for things to get in January! :dance:

That sounds like quite a haul. January will be here before you know it!
 
It’s here!!!! DK did a GREAT job and it’s exactly how I’d hoped it would be :dance:

So the differences between mine and the Cartier ring are:
- We changed the width and height to be exactly the same as the rose band I’d bought previously from him. Mine is 4mm wide by 2.16mm high
- We did 16 flowers instead of 15
- We used single cut stones (still G/VS quality) instead of MRB’s
- I had him add a brushed finish

After admiring it for a while I of course had to see what stacking possibilities now looked like!

Lastly, here are all my bands currently (3 DK, 2 CvB)

Your new ring is gorgeous and I love your stacks!
 
I missed a call from my jeweller on Friday but am now out of town for the next 2 weeks for work so won’t be able to get in and see them until the end of July :cry2:
make it halfway thru August! But I got my rings back and my brooch to necklace conversion and they’re gorgeous!
The necklace conversion in particular makes me happy.

The jeweller was really impressed with my tiny single cuts at how clean and white they were - he was adamant you don’t see stones like that anymore. I, thinking of what we see on PS vs what’s in the stores here in NZ, could only agree. Wait til I take the teeny French cuts in I got out of an eternity band. That’ll blow his mind! :lol-2:
 
Just received my ER from Whiteflash. 2.1 ct ACA:

Look at her!!! :love:

I’m still hoping for end of the month. Apparently there have been issues with casting that have delayed things. But I was told once that’s done, things should go pretty quickly. Getting a teeny bit antsy, but not too bad.

Well here I am again! :rolleyes2: It seems to be my year of projects. I have another week or so until my BGD earrings are done, and in the meantime I decided to replace the diamond solitaire pendant I “lost” when I made it in to a more substantial piece. I had thought I’d be able to wear the new one every day but it proved to be too much, and I really miss a daily diamond around my neck.

It took just a handful of back and forths with HPD, where we honed the choices from five down to one, and now this incredible .72 G/SI1 diamond is on its way to their bench to be made in to a bezeled pendant for me :kiss2:

I can finally post here! My ring from Whiteflash has shipped and I’ll be picking it up on Monday!!
I’m very excited :appl:

As some may know I sold my 1.18ct Tiffany solitaire and purchased a 1.412 VS1 G ACA set in their elegant platinum setting.
I know it’s no where near as big as most of the diamond rings here on PriceScope but I know I always have the option to upgrade. :D

BTW, Michelle was awesome to work with!!
 
IMG_0543.JPG IMG_0544.JPG This bangle coming from Caysie - should receive on Monday! Set with a rose cut pear and round rose cuts! Set in 14k white gold. I can't remember full specs as I ordered a few months back.

That is a stunning bangle!!

Not true! You've no doubt seen the huge "Under 1ct" thread. The big diamonds here on PS catch the eye, granted, but I'd say the majority are your size or smaller. 1.4ct is a big diamond by anyone's estimation and will look sizable and substantial on your finger.

And just to add - it looks super gorgeous. :)

Enjoy!

@Queenie60 It’s beautiful! Those pears look huge for a bracelet! What size are they?

Congrats!

My ACA diamond ring is here and it’s awesome!! :kiss2::geek2:

I love the Elegant platinum setting. I wasn’t overly keen on the Tiffany setting as it looked dark :?: because of the angle of the knife edge. The Elegant setting is half round and so comfortable. It’s also a wee bit thicker and I love that.
The ACA diamond DOES sparkle more and I see that even without comparing them side by side. The Tiffany diamond wasn’t a dud by any means but I do definitely see a difference. As I was driving I noticed the flashes out of the corner of my eye.
Here’s a couple of pictures, more to come.
