I'm not a big jewelry person (I promise I'm not!). But I have been wanting a smoky quartz cocktail ring for years. I keep looking on eBay every once in a while for estate rings, but they were usually too expensive, or not quite right. I originally wanted an emerald-cut stone, but then I found an oval-cut ring that was too great to pass up. 50 carats! I can barely comprehend how gigantic that is. I couldn't get over how shiny it was. So I bid on it. Someone tried to outbid me at the last minute. But they didn't know I was determined, and I took them out like the trash! Muahaha.I guess the stone looks a little yellow to be smoky quartz... but oh well. $30 for a giant cocktail ring sounds okay to me. And I can always get myself another one, with an emerald-cut stone =D
