I have been looking for an art deco bracelet for a while, but I came across this Victorian bangle and I couldnt pass it up! So, it ate into my art deco budget, which is why i am selling my modern diamond bracelet now! So, this was pretty much an impulse purchase but I really love it.
@Mreader - thank you for asking about it! I realize i am DEFINITLEY an antique girl, I dont care if it's labs or EMD but I just love old cuts! I dont think i will ever give up my labs because i am obsessed with HUGE diamonds, and I am never buying a 5 carat earth mined, however, I love that i can supplement my lab collection with some TRUE antique pieces!

And yes, of course, I ALSO bought an art deco one... :doh:I paid for it today and its shipping from overseas so I have no idea when it will come. I narrowed it down to 2, and I have been torturing poor @jaqjaqjaq with the decision for a week, but i decided and paid today! yay me! LOL. It's 20 carats which is pretty high weight, but the diamonds are pretty yellow, but i just love it, i love the geometric pattern of it (thats the thing with the art deco, some of them are too wide or I didnt like the pattern), i love that the diamonds are bigger, and it "spoke to me" as we say!

It was sold to me as 15k gold, 3 carats of diamonds, i'll do official appraisals for both bracelets when the other one comes. It sparkles like crazy!

Now can someone PLEASE go over to preloved and buy something i listed... LOL!!!!
 
OK, so I’m confused. First of all the one that you showed is absolutely dropdead gorgeous and amazing! I adore the buttery, yellow gold, and the pattern of the stones, and all that sparkle! But you are saying you purchased two of them? And one is 3 carat and one is 20 carat?
 
I mean.....

YES!!!! I bought this one which is three carats… and in addition I also bought an art deco one (which I assume I’ll get next week maybe or maybe at the end of this week if I’m lucky?)

I mean really…. this is Pricescope …. This is me, I’m an @ss…. you’re confused by this ?!? :lol-2:
 
Can you share the vendor where you bought the Victorian bracelet? It’s fabulous.

I am too scared to jinx it so i am waiting until I receive it to post any pics!!! I guess because i searched so long and i feel like every single time i found one i loved, it was sold, or WAAAAAAAAAAAY over budget.

The ones i could afford, I either didn't love them or I felt they were very overpriced for what they were, like the vendor was asking way more than it was 'worth'.

I could have had a lower carat weight with 'better' (whiter) diamonds, but i dont know, i really love this one, the shape of it, the pattern... i shouldnt because the diamond quality isnt great, but i just do, the yellow doesnt bother me for some reason.

I PROMISE you i will spam you all with pics when it comes!!

Perfect and i understand your trepidation about jinxing! We love what we love too so no need to explain ;)
 
This is BEAUTIFUL!! Love everything about it!!
 
Happy to be a sounding board - if I can’t buy fancy things right now, I will most certainly support everyone else’s blingy addiction LOL!

Can confirm that @Inked has excellent taste and the bracelet on-the-way is gorgeous :kiss2:
 
That is a sweet bracelet.
 
What an amazing find!

I promise to post it!!

I had an issue with customs releasing it, but its here and i am OBSESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The diamonds are pretty yellow - i mean *ahem* warm in some lights, and i DO NOT care!! I'm actually shocked at how white it is in most lights and to the eye, thats why old cuts are the coolest cuts ever! In some pics it looks pretty yellow but not as much to the eye.. and thats what i was hoping, the vendor pics it looked yellow but i had feeling in person it didn't. The centerpiece is 3ct OMC with the puffiest of crowns. I'll make a SMTB post as soon as i can (i love the little dogs head hallmarks)
