Re: Green Goddess Monaco is up!!!!

Wow, got in late after a long drive and mine was here today - it is amazing!! SOOOO much better in person than the Q pic (no surprise there)! This one is a keeper and a must-have for any Monaco fans. I have all of the older ones (not the two more expensive ones before this - sent those back), and this one now replaces my ginger quartz as my favorite. Very, very happy I bought this! {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Re: Green Goddess Monaco is up!!!!

I hate to be the party pooper, but I was not as thrilled with the GG rings I received. I ordered a size 6 & 7. Both were disappointing. One had nice colored emeralds set on the sides but the emeralds were poorly set. Most were set at the same height, but a few were very noticeably set deeper. This threw off the look of the ring entirely & was very noticeable. The crystal quartz that topped off the doublet was not domed & was flat on the top. This caused the green to have a dull color & lacked any inner glow that I admire in GG doublets. The other ring had emeralds that paled in comparison & left me wondering how pale they really must be without the background of black rhodium. The setting for pale stones also fell short & were noticeable because they were poorly set. The doublet on this ring seemed to glow from within & had the beautiful GG coloring that attracted me in the first place. I decided to try again. I had a short period where sizing seemed to be off & size 6 rings of various styles fit different, I played it safe & ordered both sizes. Now that I know a size 6 fits best in this Monaco, I am reordering & I will return these Monday. I love the look & want a GG Monaco very much. I'm not picky at all, but I could not accept either of the rings I received. I'm a little disappointed, but still hopeful that I will get the next one & it will be much better.

I believe that the dmq are on the prongs.

Re: Green Goddess Monaco is up!!!!

I would post pics of what I'm trying to describe in my earlier post where I'm trying to describe the flaws in the rings I received, but I can't seem to be able to get the pictures to post! I don't want to give anyone the wrong idea. The ring is beautiful & shows off the Ripka design. The beauty of being a Green Goddess Monaco ring that showcases emeralds are not lost on me at all. I may just get lucky & receive a keeper on my reorder. All of you who did get lucky...... Congrats! Enjoy wearing your treasure!
