This is my Foundrae heavy Belcher chain choker with pave sister hooks. I bought this last year and had them extend it an inch. I just recently sent it in to have the original plain gold hooks exchange for the pave ones. I am very happy how it turned out and have been wearing it quite often. It is not as big of a chain as it looks in the picture.

Love it! Foundrae is amazing, both in design and quality. I have two Foundrae pieces on today with VCA.

@eternallove4bag you are inspiring me with your gorgeous green Rolex!!! I love my Pearlmaster but I forget I have a SS Air King too (this is why I found VCA’s pink MOP disappointing - to me, *this* is Pink MOP!):

Also should let you guys know about these - now these are vintage (‘70s, I think) Rolexes which have had their faces replaced. Glenn Bradford in Southampton, he explained it to us but I forget the details. However, they are comparatively expensive:

Thank you so much! You know my style perfectly! :nuts::heart: This is Steve Quick Jeweler who sells designer brands, including Omi Prive. I am certain this ring is made by Omi Prive. I looked at almost the exact same ring setting. Omi Prive wins a lot of AGTA jewelry awards on his designs.

Below is the ring I looked at. It is only 7.35 cts though, so a bit smaller than the one you posted.
I love this ring... I think. :biggrin::heart: My one concern is the use of Paraibas as accent stones. With colored gemstone rings, I usually like for the center stone to be the star. I prefer the side accent stones to be diamonds only (preferably mixed cuts to give it character vs. all boring round diamonds). However, in this ring, my husband loves the little Paraiba accents, and he thinks that's what make the ring unique and pop. These accents are signature Omi Prive.

If you like his designs, here is the Omi Prive Look Book which carries his larger pieces: https://omiprive.com/look-book/

There are a few other Paraiba rings in the Look Book. My husband loves the pear-cut Paraiba ring with matching Paraiba halo. If you browse the Look Book, it will show the unique use of color in Omi Prive designs.

By the way, in case you also like this style...
I tried on the pink sapphire ring too. It was gorgeous, but I'm not a bright pink sapphire gal; it's too frou frou for me. I think we discussed this and girly-girl butterfly rings. :biggrin::heart: Hmmm... it's me for sure... I think instead of man-ing up, maybe I need to girly-girl up! :biggrin::heart:. The pink sapphire ring is stunning for ladies who love bright pink sapphires. I posted a photo of that ring below as well in case you like this stuff. It was $200K as I recall. I love how he uses French cut baguettes on the shank; it's beautiful.

One final comment... see Omi Prive's use of double claw prongs? I used to hate claw prongs. However, I have a blue zircon and tsavorite ring from Omi Prive that has double-claws. I love that ring! Hence, it has since changed my mind on double claw prongs. They are so delicate, very subtle, barley there. All you see is the stone.

I can't believe you posted the ring above! That made me smile. Thank you!!! :nuts::heart::hugs:

OMG! This Paraiba ring is to die for. If this is what you're considering and if they are from Brazil, grab them. Brazilian Paraiba tourmalines are rare these days. Spectacular!

Yes! You have a good memory. I’ve been a good, consistent, and low drama Verdura client. I also have a great SA. They know my budget range. So when they make something special that they think I would like, I’m offered some lovely pieces.
Here’s a pic of the Opal and Moonstone necklaces.
