Does anyone here ever check out 1st Dibs? They have the most gorgeous (albeit
really expensive) items, from jewelry to art to antiques. Here's one particular item I would grab up if only I had the extra $36,785 (sigh).
Unfortunately the images won't imbed, but here are the links:

"The stepped square cut diamond is a blazing inferno of 3 carats (color J; VVS1 clarity) double claw set at each cropped corner within a mount of 18k white gold. The central diamond is as an island surrounded by a pave sea of a set of micro diamonds.
In fact, ninety-two (92) round brilliants of about .83 carats engulf the rounded edge, rim, front, back and sides of the mount. Six (6) of these round brilliants line each of the shoulders which smoothly transition into a silken gold shank. The total estimated diamond weight is 3.83 carats."
Drool!!
What would be the closest approximation, a Timeless Halo with a 3 carat Asha Asscher? And the TH does accommodate a 3 carat stone. . .hmmmm, ideas. . .

Oo, I just realized it does look a lot like LuvMyRing's piece, as featured on the Timeless Halo page! I love that ring.
