Message:: [QUOTE="Snowman Cometh, post: 12217229, member: 83302"]I would have liked to have seen that. I must not look at jewelry much. I can't think of any ring that turned my head on someone's hand. I've seen some diamonds that were so big they stood out. But, they weren't that nice. They were tacky. You can't ask for anything better than a yard sale bargain. I never look at CDs at garage sales, I just have too many. But, without looking directly at it I saw Taylor Swift's first CD signed on the cover. It was 50 cents. I sold it for $800 on ebay. The jeweler that does my settings, her platinum is just a few dollars more than 14k and cheaper than 18k. In a store platinum is top of the line. Since I don't wear jewelry, I never thought about weight. If it's on your finger, how heavy could it possibly be? It doesn't quite fit on my pinky. I can feel the weight, but, it's not exceptionally heavy. My brother has many rings and he has lighting in his cabinets for them. I took the ring outside in the sun, and it does shine beautifully. I think you hit it on the nose (gemini agrees) that the setting mutes the brilliance. Theoretically, I could take it to a jeweler and have them widen the slats on the sides to open the bottom some more. Seeing it in the sun today, it reminds me of the loose diamond when I first received it.[/QUOTE]
