Your new band is such a beautiful classic!

I love all of your bands! Can you tell us more about the band you will be wearing it with? It’s so unique!

You have a beautiful collection!

Thank you!
I asked DKJ to make it based off of a no longer made ArtCarved band, about 5 years ago. 18k Rose gold and platinum. Not engraved but pieced together.
It’s probably one of my most frequently worn pieces!

Love your new ring and the versitality. Would like to hear more about that French cut band

Thank you!
The FC band is from Rozental - it was a stock piece from them. 2ctw. Newly cut stones.

@Rfisher thank you for your response! I think some of our favorite pieces are the older ones. That's wonderful that you wear it often. It looks like David did a good job on it. Enjoy all of your bands, they are beautiful!

Their website is delish.....such beautiful jewellery.

BTW what with TRR--you have to sign up to window shop??

It’s weird - I notice sometimes if you search for something on google and it appears in a search you can click with no login. But if you go to their site I’m not sure you can browse without creating an account.

It’s pretty darn pretty! Love it!

The above is how it will be mostly worn
The below are just for comparason



And lastly a pic
For those that don’t go visit the ‘fun with fluorescence thread’

The middle band are lab diamonds


Maybe a bit yes and no?
Some I feel like they require awareness of where they are on the hand, and what that hand is doing 100% of the time.
Others - not at all, and this Skye falls into that category.

I love how the 5 stone came out. The stones look uniform and it looks so wearable

And I still love the FC, love it so much I borrowed the design

No the fluorescence isn’t intentional on my part - just happenstance.

She finally arrived, and I love her! The bottom ring came from Leslie LSC and is supposedly a 1.23ct I VS1 OEC. The top ring was sold to me as a 1.27ct H/I VS2. From the looks of it, either one is larger than stated, or one is smaller. Regardless, I love them both. I need to have the new girl sized up slightly, so hopefully I'll be able to get that done next week. Can't wait to wear her!

After upgrading my e-ring, I promised I wouldn’t buy any jewelry for a while…

Yeah, we all know how that goes.

I was naughty.

These just arrived today & I took a quick break from Thanksgiving food prep & making pie crusts to snap a quick photo.

I am definitely banned from any additional purchases now.

Sorry I just saw this! Bottom ring is an omc and it's probably pretty deep hence why they both measure same ish in carat weight. Love them both!!

I was thinking the same but that would result in differences of tenths of mm, not this much difference I think!

@lala646 do you have calipers?

I do, but not the kind that can measure depth of the stones. The width is roughly +/-6.9mm.

For both?

 

[lala646]

For both?

Found the paperwork on the 3 stone and they say the OEC is 6.55 x 6.65 x 4.4 (approx.) So I guess it could be all down to depth.

Almost a millimeter wider for the solitaire is a lot! How do the crown heights compare? The solitaire may also be very shallow. My 1.89ct is less than 60% depth I believe.

I was supposed to be on Ban Island, but a beautiful yacht named Old Mine Muzo whisked me away. Thus ended my brief stay and one thing led to another..;

When you see that yacht, you hop on!!! You did the right thing

Aww, thank you @Star gazer for your assurance, I then went wild and bought a few other things

Crown on the solitaire is puffier than the 3 stone. I will ask my jeweler to measure the depth when I take it in for sizing.

Wow, I do NOT blame you. That emerald is luscious!

If the one in the three stone is 6.5 and fairly deep then I think the estimate of 1.2 seems right on par. So I’m guessing the new solitaire with a diameter of 6.9 and a puffier crown is more like 1.4+.

My diamond is having a little party in New Jersey still. She visited Hackensack and Teterboro and Jersey City. Seller was very nice but said there was no way to recall the package at their end. So I wait for the union to reach a settlement. If I wasn’t such a big union supporter I’d be annoyed but good for them leveraging a strike at this time of year to negotiate. Unfortunately my project is on hold until it’s all resolved!

Tracking has not been updated since Nov 21 (it was processed though their international sorting facility in NY and then nothing) and today USPS announced they were suspending all mail service to Canada due to the strike. USPS website says they will return to sender any packages currently en route to Canada. I don’t know if that applies to my package or not. I don’t know if it’s still in USPS possession or if it’s in Canada Post’s possession and just in limbo. Maybe it will become clear this week.

EBay buyer protections require me to formally report that the item has not arrived within 30 days of the expected delivery date, which is Dec 3. I then have 21 days in which to open a claim with eBay buyer protection if the situation isn’t resolved. I have let the seller know about the strike and they are apologetic about the situation, which obviously isn’t their fault . Today I asked them to follow up with usps about the location of my package and find out if it’s being returned to sender. While I want to wait it out bc I want this diamond, I can’t afford to let the buyer protections lapse. So if I don’t have any firm updates and resumption of tracking by about Dec 28 I will formally make the report on eBay.

Thank you, @lala646 I bought her in a minute because I had been looking for a nice GRS Old Mine Muzo green for a long time. There was also this three emerald ring but I realised that even with the GRS Muzo green appendix there are variations. This three stone ring is nice but the color is not as deep and saturated...

Wow I would have had a hard time not going home with both.

What an enormous headache! I'm so sorry. Hopefully the strike is resolved sooner than later and you have the stone in hand before too long!!
