OEC diamond band and Circle diamond pendant
I've been shopping although I'm supposed to stop but these pre-loved pieces were too good a deal to pass over.
First off is a 1 carat 5-stone 14K YG OEC band and it's just gorgeous. So bright and sparkly. Never owned a OEC ring before but absolutely love it. It's too big for my ring finger so here it is stacked with a bunch of rings WG vintage bands and skinny diamond eternity band.   Here it is worn on my middle finger.  Profile:

Here is my beautiful circle pendant worn layered with 2 other necklaces (I was too lazy to take them off).
 Pics of the necklace on its own.  Love it! |

About the European Cut European Shape The old European cut is an antique type of diamond cut that was fashioned long before modern technology allowed minute precision and geometrically perfect diamond shapes. A descendent of the old mine cut and a refinement of cushion cuts, European cut diamonds have a very small table and a heavy, bulky crown. The body of the gem is very deep, and the culet at the base or point of the gem is generally larger and more open than in contemporary cuts. The overall shape of the stone is round, though some European cuts may be slight ovals due to the imprecise cutting methods used generations ago. This cut was most popular during the late 1800s and early 1900s, and today it can be found in many antique and vintage rings and diamond jewelry. Old European Versus Modern Cuts European cut diamonds are considered to be the precursor to the modern round brilliant design, which is essentially a streamlined refinement of the European cut that maximizes a diamond’s brilliance with more precise geometry. European cut gems, then, sparkle less and may reflect more shadows than modern diamond cuts, though the immense depth of the stone makes older cuts very distinctive and desirable. European cuts and basic contemporary round brilliants both have a total of 58 facets, though many designer jewelers have created round diamond cuts with a greater number of facets to further enhance the stone’s sparkle and fire. Because the geometry of an old European cut creates a bulky diamond, these cuts generally have a much higher carat weight than modern stones that may look similarly sized. European cuts, however, focus much of that carat weight in the depth of the stone, which makes it difficult to see except when viewed from the side. Finding European Cut Diamonds Old European cut gems can be difficult to find today because many older stones have been recut in recent years to maximize their brilliance and sparkle. A couple interested in a European cut gem should investigate antique dealers and vintage jewelry collectors, though modern reproduction designs generally use modern diamond cuts instead of authentic stone shapes. |

Thanks for the compliments. I'm really enjoying these pieces.
I bought both of them off diamondbistro.com but you need to be careful who you buy from because there are scammers on the site as anyone is free to post their stuff for sale there. Buy only from sellers that you know/trust! |
