WTB WTB Van Craeynest

Oh boy, that is the exact second design I was debating between (versus the one I ended up going with). It is one size too big for me though, wonder if it's resizeable?

Sizing beads!?!? It’s so pretty!

My husband might kill me, haha! I'm a size 5, so maybe sizing beads might work...hmmmm...how badly do I want to beg for forgiveness? I had the seller send me a photo of the hallmark, looks legit? EDIT: I just noticed this was close to your size, @lovedogs are you interested in this one? I don't want to jack this since it was posted in your thread.

if this was the exact design you wanted, go for it! I would 100% purchase if it were the diamond version, but I'm not in love with the sapphires. All yours!
 
Well I was coming here to post a Van Craeynest. I have a GORGEOUS one that I got for a good price and will sell for a good price as it’s really too close to the Van Craeynest set I already own to justify it. It’s a 6.75 and the stone is a STUNNER! Here’s a pic. I’ll be making a loupe troop for it but I can also link a listing I just put up for contact info. CF973AA7-2985-4DE1-B4CD-1A9402B37037.jpeg

I’m also in love with VC.

@lovedogs - if you come across anything in a size 6 or smaller, would you let me know? I’d be so appreciative and I’ll do the same for you during my hunt!
 
@lovedogs — if you don’t pursue @GearGirly ring and don’t mind, I’ll inquire about it as well. Want to make sure I’m not unknowingly breaking good karma rules

Go for it! It's alovely ring, but is 14k gold and I am attached to either their 18k gold color or plat.
 
Thanks @lovedogs ! Do you mind educating me a bit since I haven’t seen it in person. What do you aesthetically notice between their 14k and 18k gold? Is 18k more yellow or more antiqued or ???

hmmm it's hard to explain without looking at pics. But I'd say that their 18k gold is warmer than the 14k? Less brassy? It's mostly just that the 18k looks better on my skin than normal 14k (at least in my opinion).
 
Fellow VC enthusiasts, just wanted to share that I got my ring today. This one was direct from Emerson. Will post more/better pictures in the VC thread this weekend!

I love it @Rubymal !!! What number is it? It's similar to the 810 I tried on in person but not quite the same
 
It is SO gorgeous! Congratulations!
 
It is exquisite @Rubymal!! Did you see it in person before you ordered it? I'd love to order one, but really feel like I need to see it in person first. Maybe one day I will make a trip to VC.
 
I just love this!! I think I may need to look into one someday. Simply beautiful!! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! It is B.871.3. I actually perused their instagram and kept going back to it and then was able to find it on their website. But I had it upgraded to platinum and added diamonds in the middle of the flowers.

Thank you so much! I actually did not. I had actually not seen any VC in person. I tried to make an appointment at a local boutique that carries some of their pieces but they never returned my calls. I just clicked through their instagram a lot and would note the styles that caught my eye and I kept going back to the same one :) It actually started with my husband pointing out the diamond eternity bands in the Costco deals book- he tried to get one for me but they were all sold out. So instead, he agreed to get me a VC instead. I think it worked out, haha.

I also found it helpful to look at "real life" photos instead of the ones on their website, I feel like those don't really show the detail in a true sense. The work is much more delicate looking in real life, truly spectacular.
 
What’s your budget? I came across a VC piece recently on Etsy, the seller doesn’t know that it’s VC though.

Sorry to bump your thread, lovedogs! I wanted to ask YadaYadaYada if the VC ring she found on Etsy is still available. If so, @YadaYadaYada, do you mind sending me a link? Thank you!

Just wanted to tell you: I love the ring in your avatar. i have always admired that setting and it is particularly gorgeous in white.

Why, thank you so much! You have made my day! I love it too. It’s platinum and hefty!! :)
 
@lovedogs - I recently came across a VC band — the column design in your size. Let me know if you’re interested and we can connect directly to avoid the lurkers

Is it the plain column one? Or the floral? Feel free to message me via LT, I definitely want more info!
