I am still waiting to buy myself something for a big
birthday bear a year after the event! Watching with interest.
I want an Art Deco diamond ring!

That's lovely. I'm so glad you said you are buying it for yourself, because you will know that you love it.

FlossMoss · 19/02/2022 23:01

I think it's beautiful.

OneSwallow · 19/02/2022 23:02

Yes, the ring is beautiful

One of my children offered to buy it for me but I think I should buy whatever I chose myself.

This is only the second ring I've tried. If I tried more I think I would be more comfortable in knowing if it is the right one.

That's gorgeous. I love rubies and have one in my engagement ring.

evilharpy · 19/02/2022 23:07

I really love that. And it suits your finger.

TowandaForever · 19/02/2022 23:09

I tried a three stone diamond ring but I think it looked too engagement like. ( won't let me post a picture at the moment but I will when I can!)

If anyone has seen anything online that would fit the bill I'd love to see it!

I have a smilies one with emerald as the middle stone, I like the design.

I’m hankering after a Jamie Joseph ring myself. 49 this year so hoping to buy one for my 50th.

Very pretty. Like my engagement ring.

@OneSwallow

I've seen lots of Art Deco. What kind of stones/ settings do you like?

I don’t really know. I would like a largish diamond in the middle . Three quarters of a carat at least , with a couple of smaller ones on either side perhaps. 18ct gold or platinum band. I have looked at lots online, but am worried I need to try them on in person. My local jewellers don’t have much.

OneSwallow · 20/02/2022 08:41

Something like that but a third of the price!!

mrsjg · 20/02/2022 08:45

I think it's really beautiful - elegant.

Whitney168 · 20/02/2022 08:47

Love it OP and think it's the right scale for your hand.

linerforlife · 20/02/2022 08:50

That's pretty! There's a lovely shop near me called Owlets that has vintage jewellery and I'm obsessed with their window! Go for it OP!

harriethoyle · 20/02/2022 08:51

Very expensive for secondhand. I would want all of the diamond and ruby specs and certificate for that.

I thought it might be a hundred or so more than I might have expected it to be?
