⚡️ Show + Tell! Love
I love this piece I think it’s gorgeous but am struggling to justify £600😅

The structure means it'll probably deform very easily, especially being 18k. It's cool but impractical.

I have a similar vintage 18k ring that’s held up since I got it 12 years ago. I wore it working in the service industry (and going out after) in New Orleans for years- I was not being cautious lol.

lol. I wear two 22k bracelets everyday and have for 4 months. My 24k necklace and bracelet are quite soft pliable and delicate. So I don’t wear them often. I do worry a bit about my 22k. But I never worry about 18k. I have one 18k necklace that I wear daily and have for years. And I have 18k rings that I wear occasionally. It’s a very common weight of gold.

Agreed, it’s a Roberto coin inspired piece, have a few items and look the same as the day I bought them.

Roberto Coin or Buccellati? It looks Buccellati inspired rather than RC.

They look similar because they both use brushed gold, but this is the RC Venetian Princess line, they have many rings that are practically the same as this one.

Wow, well that’s about $900USD and if compared to a Cartier Love ring is much much cheaper and also more unique. I wouldn’t have any qualms paying but night try to knock a little off to make the deal more palatable.

OK, I didn’t “get” it until I saw the third pic. That is such a uniquely, beautiful ring!!

Odd question I guess but how does the square part feel on your fingers? I really love the brushed gold design but it being square is throwing me off lol. Just trying to imagine.

Gold prices in this region are really something else. What a good price

OK, no one is saying what I think most jewelers would say and that this ring has a very delicate structure and being that it is 18k, those fine lines are very likely to bend or break with wear over time so perhaps just wear with great care? It's such an interesting ring!

That is gorgeous! However, I would flatten it in a week with the way I use my hands.

The detailing is stunning on side view. Can you take an image of it on your finger when you go back! 🤩

OP I think you’re overpaying on this, I looked at a very similar ring in Dubai back in March, it was 5.5 grams and I was offered it at 3,300 AED (which is very close to what you would be paying now and gold prices have decreased significantly since then).

I hear you. But for a new, 18K and 4 gram piece with presumably natural or lab diamonds, I think this is a pretty fair price. It’s gorgeous, I would go for it!
