Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

[lovedogs]

Shhh! She doesn't know that yet!

Noooooo don't tell me that!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Please buy it so I don't lol

I agree! Someone buy it so that I don't.

Yeah I was thinking "why am I collecting all these diamonds when I could just buy this" and then I recalled that I am cheap.

Would your collection be far under this cost though for the stones?! Depending on best offer?

Based on what I've spent so far and the stones I'm stalking, I'm looking for about 2.7 - 3.0cttw for around $2000 - $2200 depending on the size combo I end up with. So I think my plan is still the best path for me. If I wanted a ring with those proportions and/or I could keep the mounting, it would absolutely be the way to go.

Photos when it arrives? I love that cut.

I’ve never seen the cut in person but it looks cool!

Sounds like good bargains! Love it !

Fingers crossed!

Of course when you factor in my time I’m paying about …. Oh… one million dollars per carat

I desperately love this. The shape, aesthetic, all of it.

Yes but a big part of the fun is looking!

Ditto! And if you ask my husband, at this point he would call himself an employee given the daily diamond/ring messages… my hidden agenda is to wear him down until he gets so sick of me spamming him, that he says, “just buy what you want”

Fun, horrible torment, potayto, potahto.

I know there's someone for whom this is the perfect ring. ~3ctw F-G/VS French cuts plus the rounds in size 7.75 for $5k. This ring costs $15,500 new from the designer. This would fit my middle finger, index finger, and thumb but I already have two rings I'm planning to have made and reaaaaaally need to stop buying jewelry so someone else please get this.

Oh man. Are the two rings already in progress? Because just wow! This would be tough to pass up if you can swing it. But I don’t know anything about the quality of the brand.

In discussion but not actually ordered or paid for yet so I could maybe put them off... There's a consignment location in my city and apparently they'll bring items in that are up to $2k, so I'm maybe considering doing that but obviously it would be dangerous. Maybe I'll hate it in person, but that seems unlikely!

Neil Lane has a diffusion line with Kay's which is most of what you hear about online. There's no reason to think that his main line isn't top quality, but obviously I don't know that for sure.

It’s a deal but is it exactly what you want @newtojewels ? Is it something you’ve been wanting forever?

What a great question! No, this ring in particular was not on my must-haves list, but who would say no to a giant French cut eternity band if it landed on their lap in their size? I do have "interesting white metal band that would fit my index and middle finger" on my list, but this one is probably too blingy/bold to reasonably wear at the same time as my white gold rings which was the original point. One of the two rings in progress is something similar to the below ring by Chaumet, which I thought would be a nice combo to wear on my index finger with my blue spinel or paraiba tourmaline on the ring finger. The other was setting my bright red Namya spinel into a high karat yellow gold snake ring.

OK hear me out…



Apparently this ring was a brooch conversion. I’d convert it back to a brooch/pendant. Price is excellent for this lovely gold work and a .65ct old min cut diamond!

The textures and detail work are right up my alley. I’d love to pop out that diamond and put in a rich blue or red stone to see how it works with the gold. Looks like it may be missing an eye so another opportunity to add bling. If anyone gets this please post, post, post, post and post pictures.

 

[Grymera]

@newtojewels If it’s heart thumpingly beautiful to you, I’d buy it. But if it’s just “Wow that’s a good deal and a nice piece,” I’d pass.

Luckily the photography on TRR is so bad that nothing can look heart thumpingly beautiful! If one of the Instagram sellers gets it and takes a video, we might all be in more trouble It's on hold right now from someone else and I'm not completely heartbroken so I think I'll survive letting it go. But I would be happier if someone here buys it so we can see better photos!

You could just get this one instead since it’s so practical for everyday wear.

I’m a cat lover but still haha this ring made me laugh. I’m pretty sure those stones are single cut!

 

[Dreamer_D]

What a great question!

There was a PSer who used to have as her tag line “a deal is only a deal if you get exactly what you want” and that principle has been very helpful to me over the years!

I feel like this is how we get in trouble lol

Yes! It needs a pop of color. I didn’t notice the eye but you are totally right about that. Green eye and a ruby would be

When the right person and this ring find each other, they'll be very happy!

And yes, you're absolutely right on both counts! I'm resisting!

 

[Grymera]

@newtojewels that Chaumet ring is gorgeous! And you have more restraint than me! I'm so optimistic about TRR photos... I'm like, if they've made it look halfway decent it *must* be nicer in real life when I can clean it!

Speaking of pearls, posting these beauties. Wouldn't they be perfect for a bride? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1161737022...H61DgQWGvki4EOEbQ0jsO97qQL|tkp:Bk9SR_zz4NLqYw

This is just… intriguing. Did someone re-purpose an antique buttercup basket? Who would set a “crystal” in a 14k head? What’s up with that band? And what’s under all that grime? Is this actually an extravagant, bespoke toe ring? If I were in more of a gambling mood today, I’d be in! Alas, I’m in a very practical, adulting frame of mind today.
