A diamond bombé ring.

Posting a diamond ring in honor of the fact that a very good friend of mine is getting married today! This is a scheduled post, because I am at (and in) the wedding. Yay!

This diamond bombé ring is pure fun. It looks like more of a right-hander than an engagement ring to me, although maybe that’s just because I want to buy it for myself. The central stone is an is an 0.85 carat old-European cut diamond. Bonhams doesn’t give any info about the smaller stones. I think this ring is so fun and exuberant. Some diamond rings take themselves so seriously (and they should) but this one is just like “Hey, I’m sparkly!”

You know that moment in Sex in the City when Carrie sees her new dream shoe in a window and greets it by saying “Hello, lover!”

I feel a little like that.

It’s not actually vintage, it’s an Edwardian style engagement ring reproduction. But ooh boy, what a reproduction.

I can’t improve on Lang Antiques’s description, so here it is: “A superb 2.17 carat round brilliant-cut diamond – accompanied by a GIA Gem Trade Laboratory grading report stating D color, VS2 clarity- is framed by small sparkling accent diamonds atop a fancy scroll motif gallery and openwork foliate motif diamond-set shoulders. The style of this gorgeous modern platinum and diamond ring pays homage to the classic flowing designs of the Edwardian period at the beginning of the twentieth century. A timeless beauty …”
