They are beautiful and look gorgeous on you! Much joy to you!Thank you @Weeivy73!
Thank you @EmeraldEmpress. They were over my (self imposed) budget but after a month of not being able to get these out of my mind I had to get them. My DH insisted so that helped my decision too. Despite my having told him back in August I wasn't going to get any more bling because I had upgraded my OEC ER and spent way more than I ever thought I would. But LOL he said to me yesterday he knew my "no bling ever again after Bubbalah" statement wasn't going to last hahaha.I could not get these earrings out of my mind. What can I say. Thank goodness I married a wise man who is also very generous and loving and super sweet.
Thank you so much @elizat! I think we have a similar antique aesthetic.
Aww thanks so much @yssie. I appreciate your lovely comments. These are very different from any of my other antique earrings. What appeals to me is how simple and delicate they are and the faceting on them is amazing. Very chunky, super clean and so bright. I considered many other pairs but most of them were cluster earrings (and I don't believe they were genuinely from the Victorian era) and I just couldn't stop thinking about these and their unbelievable faceting. One concern that was holding me back is my possible allergy to gold. I am hoping I am not allergic to these sweet earrings. I had my left lobe swollen for a long while and my derm couldn't figure it out and it's not completely back yet to regular size. But I couldn't resist these earrings any longer so fingers crossed.
That's amazing!!!I just picked up my mother’s day gift to myself... a vintage ~18.5 carat super clean tourmaline and diamond ring in platinum and I’m over the moon for it! It’s my absolute favorite peacock blue green color! Here’s comes the photo bomb...

I get in certain moods where I’m really into one CS or another. Lately I’ve really been feeling aquamarine. I bought two yesterday from a vendor I found on Instagram. I think CVB has sourced colored stones from him before so I figure I might as well give it a shot. If anything goes wrong, I’ll let PayPal handle it.

They look much better in the video than in the screenshot.

I’m think I’m just going to go full drama with this one and set it like Liz Taylor’s engagement ring. It’s always been my favorite Asscher and unless I win the Powerball, I’ll never have a diamond big enough to set like that.

I had him throw this one in just because. They’re both a bit more gray than I normally like, but I have a bunch of aquas, so I might as well collect the whole color spectrum. No idea on how I’d set this one. It will probably just sit in my To Be Set drawer for a while.

I was considering this and I have now pulled the bling trigger because I decided I was in love with them and had to have them! Hopefully will arrive by Monday woohoo!
Sneak peek of my Victorian OMC dangles from the 1880s. Total diamond weight approx 1.77 cts. grading VS clarity H color.
Very excited.
WOW WOW WOW!!
WOW WOW WOW!!
Anyway hope my delay in deciding doesn't cost me these earrings because instead of getting them in person (like when I first saw them) they are now as you know being mailed and have been delayed. So it's a waiting game. Fingers crossed it works out. Sorry for the long explanation but since you asked I like to be thorough.
Would you be able to share the name of the vendor?

@missy You got an unbelievable price for those earrings!! A matched pair of true antique OMCs with that color, clarity, and size??? Well done!
You must start a new thread for those earrings, complete with closeups so we can get a better gawk at these beauties!
Gorgeous
Can’t wait to see them on you
You remain unchallenged as the earrings queen of Pricescope - and there's no joke in that.
@missy, your photos of your cat are lovely, granted. But - seriously - until you hook each of those earrings onto an elastic hair tie and slip each one over your kitty's ears, I know you're not really trying.
Please apply yourself.
PS Your earrings are STUNNING.
PPS Pretty serious about the cat suggestion also.
@mrs-b I love you. OMG believe me for you I would try. My kitties may look compliant and complacent and docile and sweet and all that jazz but I can assure you they exhibit no such behavior. They are monsters generally. Little monsters I dearly love but monsters nonetheless. They have their own minds and moods and rule our household.
But I love the suggestion and appreciate you thinking I can be master over my kitties. Don't I wish.
How about this? Will this do (for now)
This is Devine and huge, in the most amazing way. Congrats and enjoy!I couldn't resist this one... bought it and declared it to be a wedding present to myself! It's going to be a fabulously blingy RHR. This thing is huge! With halo, it's 23 x 17 mm.
You may have seen it recently on Caysie's instagram, it was part of her personal collection but she decided needed a new home where it would be worn more often.
