His 30th anniversary/wedding ring came in!

I posted the ring he got me a couple weeks ago, and many of you wanted to see his when it came in. In a nutshell, the story is that we didn't have rings for the past few years, so for our 30th anniversary we decided to get ourselves new wedding rings.

They were chosen/designed around his and my birthstones, and the number 30. My birthstone - sapphires, and his - diamonds.
So my ring features his birthstone with a 3 carat lab diamond and 30 small diamonds, along with some of my sapphires.

His ring features my birthstone by having 10 sapphires being the center and largest stones, bordered on both sides by 10 diamonds, making the total number of stones 30.

Because we are so happy with the experience of purchasing these rings long distance, not knowing our maker whatsoever, we'd like to give them a reference. They also have excellent reviews (4.9/5 on Google) online.

Our rings were made by Moishy, at MDC Diamonds (www.mdcdiamonds.com) in New York City. My center stone is 3.05 carats, E, VVS2, with IGI certificate, in 14k yellow gold. Channel set blue sapphires, surrounded by 30 lab grown diamonds of E, VS1+ quality. Price: $3500 insured, overnight, signature required delivery by FedEx.

His is 1/2" wide 14k yellow gold, 20 total round diamonds, EF VS1+ plus 10 blue sapphire baguettes, all lab grown. More gold weight in his, price: $4250 delivered by the same method. We were invoiced for both through PayPal; other options may be available. We communicated via WhatsApp.

I wouldn't hesitate to have him/them make any more jewelry we want.

More pics of the Barbie I won in an auction - ID help pls

I posted her last night in the (really faded) Enchanted Evening dress. It was estimated she is 1960 #3 or 4. Pics of the mark on her butt were requested. Thank you all for helping!

I had a modest wedding ring for the first 25 or so years, then got an infection in a cut on my ring finger and it swelled up. I was getting scared so I asked my husband to get his snips and CUT MY RING OFF MY FINGER. It was during Covid, and I just went without a ring for a few years. Didn't really miss it TBH. We were as much in love as we always were.

Our 30th wedding anniversary was March 28, and together we decided it was time to treat ourselves to wedding rings. He designed mine, and I'm designing his (it's not done yet).

My birthstone is sapphire, and his is conveniently -- diamond. 😁 Both rings feature both birthstones; mine features his prominently, and his will feature mine prominently.

Mine has 30 tiny diamonds set into the band for our 30 years. His will have 30 stones altogether.

For not being sold as a set, we think they match/complement each other very well.

My center stone is a 3.10 carat lab-created diamond. Color F, Clarity VVS2. Never thought I would go for a pear shaped diamond but i think it's perfect for this ring. I love it so much and can't stop looking at it.
