This is a stunning moissanite 3-stone. It was made by Schubach's. The band is 14k yellow gold, the scroll/basket head is 14k white gold with two surprise diamonds. The prongs are lovely dainty pointy claw prongs. The Moissanite together (three of them) come to 2.3ctw. I do not remember the individual sizes but can go back and measure. I *think* the center stone is 8mm/2ct equivalent, which would make the sides about .15ct each. I *think* these are the Forever Brilliant stones. Very nice color. NO nail head! I am SUPER picky about cut whether diamond or moissie and these are excellent. The setting is Stuller x1 gold which is harder and whiter than regular gold, with less potential for sensitivity for those who are bothered by the nickel in white gold. I've had many people including my jeweler identify this as a diamond ring. There is apparently no more OEC moissie being cut so this might be difficult to recreate in the future. Paypal only, please add $20 for shipping and insurance. I paid $1770 for this about 6 months ago. No problems whatsoever; I'm just ready to change things around.

This is a Cherie Dori prasiolite and diamond ring with great details and impact! I've only worn sporadically as it's sized for my index finger and I just don't wear rings as much on that finger... Marked CHD and 14k, measures an 8 on my ring sizing stick. Looks to be free from wear or damage. Center stone is 4-prong/bezel set and measure approximately 10.2mm across the stone. Six small diamonds look bright and are full cut and bezel set. They measure (very approximately!) 2mm across.

This is a "new old stock" vintage/antique platinum mount. It is marked 10%irid.plat. and WB with sort of half diamond mark on either side of the W and B - maybe Whitehouse Brothers? I don't know! The center mount is a fishtail (I think) mount, never set. It measures approximately 6.3mm INSIDE the hole, and approximately 7.3mm outside width. I think that means it can take a stone in between those dimensions? The center stone mount rises approximately 6.7mm in height off the finger. There are two holes either side of the center for 4 side stones. The holes measure approximately .8mm and 1mm in width. The shoulder width is approximately 2.6mm and 2.8mm wide, so I suppose the side diamonds should be between those dimensions. The setting weighs 4.3 grams and is a size 6.5 on my ring sizing bar.

This is a lovely little firecracker of an OMC diamond. It's set in a bezel of white gold. I don't have specs on it - it's a little warm but not KLM warm. Maybe a J? I believe it was described as an SI1 when I bought it, and looking through a loupe I see no carbon, and maybe a whitish feather or two near the girdle. There is what my jeweler described as a "natural" near the girdle. Not visible to the naked eye, but I can find it with my 10x loupe. Eye clean to me! Outside bezel measurement is 5.6mm, diamond inside bezel measures approximately 4.6mm wide. It's 3.25mm deep. I don't know the carat weight but looking at Old World Diamonds it looks to be in the .40+ carat range. Gorgeous large open culet and small high table. It's on a 14k 16" wheat chain with lobster clasp. It sits nicely on the chain but doesn't always slide as freely as I would like. I will sell for $225 without the chain. Please note two of the photos show it on a curb link chain that it is no longer on. Please add $10 to help with shipping and insurance. Final sale please. Great feedback on eBay and BTD forum.

This is a simple platinum mount, 6 prongs. It's a size 5 1/4 on my ring sizer and sizable... weighs 4 grams, prongs rise approximately 6 to 6.5mm off the finger as is... It held a .57ct oec but I think it looked like it needed a bigger stone, so I had the diamond removed. The prongs could use a little smoothing when a stone is mounted in it again. I've compared it to my 7mm oec and the stone is definitely too big, so I guess I would say it needs about a 5.5 to 6 mm stone? The way the prongs are sitting in the photo, there is 5.6mm between the "seat" of the prongs. Inside it's marked 900platinum100iridium, and a maker's mark I can't identify.

This one is really heard to part with! It's a fabulous 5-stone diamond band, vintage, and gorgeous in every way. The specs: marked 900 platinum 100 iridium, a tight size 6 on my ring sizer and sizable. V-prong setting for the diamonds that I haven't seen anywhere else. I figure they are early round brilliants based on the age of the piece, but I think I can see arrows in all 5 of them with a loupe... Under a 10x loupe - NO chips or damage to diamonds, no carbon, no feathers that I can see! I know they were sold to me as VS diamonds, but I can only say they look pristine to me! The setting has normal wear, I'd say better than expected for age, and normal platinum patina. I think the prongs would be called fishtail? Not sure! Each diamond measures approximately 4mm or just under, maybe 3.98mm. So they should be between .20-.25 each. They are very well matched and I don't know the color but I'd guess H. Not near as white as some E single cuts in one of my rings but whiter than another band with H-I diamonds. *** update, I took this band to a local reputable vintage diamond grader, he said these were wonderful diamonds, colorless E to F easily, and VS1 or better! He thought total carat weight of 1.15. *** Each diamond is held securely by 4 prongs, with a thin piece of platinum between each diamond. I really don't want to let this one go, but I bought a bigger band and like the look of the larger one, though this one has nicer diamonds! Please add $20 to help with shipping and insurance.

OK, this is yet another vintage Jabel band for sale... just a little heavier than the other one here on LoupeTroop. Love it, but I have a third one (!) that I wear all the time so can't justify keeping them all. It's just over a 6 1/4 on my ring sizer, but closer to 6 1/4 than 6 1/2. Sizable.

This is an approximately .67ct round brilliant set in a 14k white gold Stuller scroll pendant setting. A jeweler estimated it as .67 ct based on measurements and calculations... He graded it as an H in color and SI1 in clarity. I can't find any inclusion(s) with my 10x loupe. The stone measures approximately 5.3mm in diameter. I should have the written appraisal somewhere and will include it with the pendant. Selling because I bought a larger diamond for a pendant!

I just got this a short time ago and think it is just too big for me! These are three hand selected non-enhanced OEC Moissanite stones, no green or other untoward cast to them. Just a bit of warmth which adds to the vintagey look of them! The center is 7.5mm, the sides are 5mm each. They have smallish high tables and open culets. Dainty claw prongs. A beautiful and classy ring, just too big for what my small hands are used to! Asking less than I paid for a quick sale: $800 plus $20 for shipping and insurance. I'm told the stones cost more than this! A funny: I took this to a jeweler to resize down to a 6 1/2, and he actually argued with me over whether these were actual real OEC diamonds. I kid you not. Apparently his diamond/moissanite tester also misled him. He finally got another tester and agreed they are Moissies but said they were amazing and he was stunned at how nice they looked. So, easily sizable by your jeweler withing reason. Final sale please. I have 100% feedback as a seller on ebay and good feedback as well on the BTD forum.

This is an old mine cut diamond that I picked up thinking I'd use it in a pendant but just am not going to get around to it. I can't speak to it's color and clarity - it's warm, but not as warm as an L-M diamond I have, and as far as clarity I don't see any carbon or big inclusions. Maybe some naturals or something along the girdle. It is pretty clear. My eyes are getting old but hopefully you can see what you need in the photos! It's definitely got a cushiony shape. Dimensions are 4.4mm by 4.7mm wide, and 3.4mm deep. It's got a tiny table and an open culet like you would expect. A sweet little stone! Asking $375 plus $10 for shipping and insurance.

This is a showpiece of an antique engagement ring! I bought it because it reminds me of a Kate Middleton engagement ring, except just not sapphire! In the center is a natural faceted blood red garnet, measuring approximately 10mm by 8mm, estimated weight of 2.80ct. There is a scratch on the table and small flea bites to facet edges. Not bothersome to me. It is bezeled in either white gold or platinum. Surrounding the garnet is a halo of blazing white single cut diamonds! They are individually set in either platinum or white gold, and I was told they are E color and VS1+ clarity. They really glow! The workmanship is amazing. They measure about .05ct each, for a total diamond weight of approximately .70ct. The shank of the ring is yellow gold, and has a somewhat worn inscription that reads GRACE 1935 LOVE OLIVER. It's really solidly made, weighs 7 grams, and is a size 6 3/4 and sizable. The head measures approximately 3/4" by 5/8" wide and sits 3/8" off the finger.

This is a bright old European cut diamond, weighing .76cts. I watched the jeweler weigh it so sure about it! The diamond measures 5.6mm wide and 3.9mm deep. There is what I guess would be best described as a "natural" at the girdle that gives it a very slightly flatter spot. It is not something that would jump out at you once set. I was planning on bezeling this in a "Barbara" pendant but need to replenish funds more, so here it is! I bought it not knowing the color and clarity. I can't see any inclusions at all with my 10x loupe! The color is slightly warm. Maybe H or I or J? Guessing here. Nowhere near as warm as an L-M solitaire I own. I took a photo next to a band with E-F diamonds and its not grossly warmer. Sorry I'm just not super color sensitive! Final sale please unless I'm really off on the specs.

This is an amazing platinum eternity. It's got approximately one and a quarter carats of older cut diamonds. The diamonds are approx SI1+ clarity, H (guessing) color. Not much color. The stones are older cuts, most with open culets and larger facets. No damage that I can see! I am thinking some oec, some transitional? The stones measure 2.5 to 2.6mm each. The seller told me old cuts but I guess they could be single cuts with some open culets? They are each in a four prong setting, maybe fishtail? Band measures 3.4mm wide and approximately 2.4mm high off the finger. The settings are azured under each stone. The stones and ring a MUCH brighter than my sorry iPhone pics show.

I'm guessing this ring is about 0.85ctw in diamonds. The diamonds measure approximately 3.55-3.65mm in diameter. They're probably about an H color, but I am not at all sensitive to color so I can't say for sure. There are some inclusions with a loupe but I can't see any with my naked eye.

This is a pair of oec (or transitional?) diamond earrings. When I bought them unset as a pair a few years ago I was told they weighed .37ct each. The have open culets and what I would describe as a "petal" design. The depth isn't overly deep and the tables aren't tiny so I am guessing they are late oecs. They were described as eye clean SI2 and I color. I don't see inclusions but I'm not great at that either unless they're obvious. They don't look like they have a lot of color to me. They are a decent match for older stones. Not identical but I'm VERY picky and I feel like they match just fine. I had them set in your basic Stuller 4-prong baskets, 14k white gold, friction backs. They are very bright and sparkly. Based on my non-digital micrometer I'd estimate they're around 4.5mm wide or maybe a tiny bit more. No chips or anything.

This is a beautiful vintage setting - octagonal with tiny claw prongs - holding a nicely cut oec moissanite. It's currently a size 5 3/4. I wear a 6 1/4 and can wear this. The bottom of the band is somewhat ovoid and thin. It's also a bit out of round from decades of wear. It could easily have the lower 1/4 of the shank replaced but I just haven't bothered yet. The stone is superb for an oec moissanite. No nail-head, lots of color, not green, just enough warmth for the cut and setting. There may be a flea bite or two but not visible to my naked eye. Here is the listing that I purchased from: her description and photos are so much better than mine! https://loupetroop.com/listings/rings-lab-created-center/8-dot-5mm-oec-moissanite-in-octagonal-edwardian-platinum-setting Final sale please, confirmed Paypal only.

I just received this today. Lovely oec cut with tiny culet. No dark center. Bright stone! Setting is antique from Leigh Jay Nacht. Size 6 and sizable. Nice detailing and millegraining on sides. It is just too small for me! I need a bigger stone but I will say this is a very believable antique looking ring. Asking $600 obo.

This is an 8.5mm lab-grown ruby... not sure what the cut is called! It's set in a 14k yellow gold Amcor setting with petite double claw prongs. Size 6 3/4 and easily sizable. This would make a lovely alternative engagement ring. I am just not reaching for it.

This is a very heavy (11.7g) and well-made sapphire and diamond halo ring. The mille-graining was just refreshed and the ring checked over and polished by CvB and it looks gorgeous! I bought this from a Pricescoper and she sent it to CvB. I just got it and it's too small for me to wear (it's a 5 and I wear a 6+) so it won't be worn until it's sold. It's lovely, just a bit fancier than I tend to wear. Please excuse the fingerprint on the stone in my photos! Asking $1900obo. This is my cost for the ring PLUS the rehabbing with CvB.
