More power as you go through exciting new beginnings! Perhaps Chaumet’s Bee My Love (as in self-love) ring could be an option for stacking.
Excellent idea, thanks! I foresee some exciting trips at some nice boutiques :smile:

I have the small Perlée from VCA that I stack with an eternity band for 11 years now and it still looks like new as it doesn’t show scratches if that matters to you :smile:
Oh thanks good to know!
It seems a very nice combination… Can’t wait to try it!

6 months ago, my partner suddenly left after 8 years of living together.
A few weeks after my 40th birthday…
Of course I’ve been through hell, cried my heart out, had to find a new appartement, to move, cried my heart out again, thought my life was over, cried my heart out again and again…
Now, things are starting to get better. So yesterday I took all the gold trinkets he gave me over the years, sold them, and with that money bought myself a nice eternity ring. A friend of mine said it was my version of the “revenge dress”, so we called it the “revenge ring”. I feel relieved that I was able to let go of all the jewellery that reminded me of him, and I love the idea that I traded it for a ring that represents empowerment and the beginning of a new life.
I love the ring by itself even if the diamonds are small, but I’m also thinking of stacking a second ring on top of it. What about a simple Van Cleef perlée ring? Other WG suggestions? I wear a Carrier small clash on the other hand, and like classic but a little bit edgy jewellery…
TIA for your opinions and advices!

You’re right, I will wait a little bit before actually adding the new ring. First I will enjoy looking and trying on. As they say it’s not only about the treasure, it’s also about the hunt :smile:

I sold my gold locally, at a serious jeweller’s I’ve known for a long time. And I also bought the eternity ring at the same place. I didn’t know it was possible to sell gold online!

Oh that’s interesting, I didn’t know it existed!
here's another one. I don't really have a local jeweler I trust these days. suppose I could go to one jeweler and one pawn shop and see what they say

Yes you’d better get several opinions, you could have a good surprise…
