Is this diamond ring worth it? Pics included

Yes! I recognized your name too and wondered if it was the Carolina Bucci bracelets we met over. xD I still have mine, but don't wear it anymore! I should!! Even that bracelet I got secondhand for much cheaper than retail.

eBay has a pretty good return policy that really favors the buyer, so I always feel comfortable buying from them. I've purchased a lot of expensive jewelry over the internet, from overseas, and haven't yet had a problem. The biggest scare was once the package got lost in the mail, but eBay refunded both me and the seller the amount (because it went through eBay's global shipping program, it was their problem), and then the item still turned up many weeks later! I told the seller, but they'd already gotten paid, and I told the shipping program too, but they didn't care, so I ended up with free jewelry.

I think if you're careful and look through the seller's feedback + photos carefully, you can find authentic deals. I use picclick to search through lots of eBay listings, it's a pretty good tool!

I still have my carolina bucci bracelet but cant wear it as so much of the thread broke and unravelled . Its still my favourite bracelet and i keep meaning to see if it can be repaired.

I think i will have a look on ebay then !
Im no expert at spotting fakes so will need to find out how to have things authenticated

Oh no! The dangly tassles are a bit fragile. I got mine caught when playing games and snapped half of it off! The one I bought my mom, it just fell off one day and she lost it. (I offered her mine but she didn't like mine since it wasn't red! Haha...) Fickle bracelets, but yeah, I still love it. Classic design.

I did a quick search but haven't found any perfect rings in your size -- yet. Some months they have a lot and some nothing!
The only one that came close is this 7-stone hearts on fire branded ring, size O 1/2, £1800: https://www.ebay.com/itm/393489023638

However the seller has 0 feedback, and even though eBay protects you in case of scams I wouldn't want to waste my time finding out.

I've also bought an eternity from AC Silver, they have great videos of all their rings and they're UK based. A huge collection of fine estate pieces. On the pricier side though, not as good of a deal as eBay finds can be. Still, fair enough prices.

Feel free to PM me for a second set of eyes on anything that interests you! I'm no pro authenticator but I've certainly bought a lot of pricey stuff online, and am decent doing my research.
