Under 1ct diamonds

I hope this thread always stays alive, and I would love to see the 1/2 carat thread that is not as popular become so! Viva la small sparklies!

This is my 1980s vintage Jabel wrap set. .25 center with twelve .015 full-cut melee for a .43 TCW. I purchased it about a year ago.

I found the set in the 1987 Jabel catalog on their website which I loved seeing! I like knowing history about my finger companions. 20221008_122331.jpg

What a beauty! I love this thread!
 
I have a little pear halo to share. Sooo difficult to capture her beauty with my cell, so I've just never posted. One of my favorites because it's dainty and comfy, plus I can wear a few different bands with it. 20221107_180346.jpg

Thank you! It's an .80 ct. H, Si2 center. With the halo, it is 1.14ctw. It looks ok even if it's an Si2 to me. I thought it was in the colorless range until I looked at my paperwork.
 
This ring has a .5 center with an emerald cut. I bought it from LT and bought it on a whim as it was a very good price. To my surprise, it has become the ring I wear every day. I do clean it every day because it has such a beautiful shine when clean. I have other, bigger rings, but Im in love with this cut.

Ruby has .20 ish side diamonds

Beautiful. Nice to meet another person who likes modest diamonds. The average in my collection is 0.5 ct.

Love the elongated look.

I just can't justify the prices close to/ above a Carat. Also my ring finger is size 4.5 and my pointer finger is 6 so things look big enough.

@ringnut, I absolutely love it! ❤

Same here. Every stone I own falls under .66 carat, my largest one. To quote another thread, sometimes I do think about selling them and getting one ring to rule them all.
 
My new 0.86ct F SI1 OEC from Ivy and Rose, Gypsy set by I&R in Platinum. :kiss2:

It is my third RHR, and it sits between my day to day casual ring which is a 0.47ct EC (I can't remember the exact specification), and my 1.19ct E VS1 EC in an air gap/line halo; both in Platinum that comes out on dressy occasions.

Loved perusing this thread- so many beautiful rings :kiss2:

I purchased this preloved ring (0.39 ct center OEC) and am fascinated by the way it sparkles!

My goodness you have beautiful hands!!! (The ring is gorgeous, too!)
 
Here’s my .96 G VS1 Tiffany ring! I’m in love. It’s technically a “downgrade,” because my I’ve owned bigger stones, but around the 1 carat mark looks and feel best to me. Plus, the Tiffany setting is just my absolute favorite. I’m so picky about prongs, and Tiffany does great work. I’m a size 6.5, for reference E498627E-1BE1-4D4E-B36D-90F84F9E8C4B.jpeg

I love all the rings here—so gorgeous!
 
There are snooty online reviews about how Tiffany just isn't that great. The posters on this forum put this in doubt - they buy them new, they buy them used and they buy more. And all are delighted with the quality. I would really enjoy having one someday.
Thank you for your lovely addition to my favorite thread!

I love this perspective!
 
I was craving a light yellow oec and fell for this .55ct. I love the color and facet pattern. Yet to be set, but will be 2 tone with 18kyg around the stone. An alternative engagement/rhr.

I cannot wait to see how this turns out! Your pieces are absolutely swoon-worthy, as is this stone!

@michellelynn9175 thank you! Currently thinking something like @YadaYadaYada did a while back. An engraved airlined halo. I have a 2 tone wedding band and an engraved 2 tone wedding band on the way- so I'll have some options.
Or I was also considering doing a bezel five stone with this as the center bezeled in yg but the rest white stones bezeled in platinum. YG shank.
Still deciding :)
