Show us your "signature" piece..

[ringthings]

What's your signature piece of jewelry, something you wear all the time, or cherish as a favorite piece? Something that really "screams" you?

Preferably something other than your engagement/wedding ring...

When did you get it, and why? Is it an heirloom, or something you designed yourself?

Is it a ring? bracelet? earrings? broach? cuff links? necklace? watch? Nothing?

Hi ringthings - I am having a ring made by James Meyer now. Hopefully that will become my signature piece. He is setting a .91 rb diamond with 2 .48 oval rubies in 18k yellow gold.

I wear a Tiffany''s bracelet, because well, my name is Tiffany and it seems to fit the bill

lil425-
It sounds lovely. I''d love to see a photo when it comes in!

dearbuddh-
Nice, I like their bracelets. What an appropriate name for a jewelry-lover.

Probably my tsavorite garnet in a lotus setting. I love garnets and the ring is just stunning to me

This is a pendant my husband bought me for my 40th birthday. It got me back into wearring some of my gold pieces. He said he liked it beacuse it was unique and kind of funky, like me. He''s so sweet!!

Aside from my wedding rings, mine is a gold enamelled blue "cameo" ring with a woman in profile and sprinkled with diamonds. I have never seen anything like it on anyone else.

Beautiful necklace and ring.

Mine is probably the earrings in my avatar. They are bezeled slices of watermelon tourmaline that drop from gold hoops.

They aren''t the most perfect specimens, but they''re elegant and unique and they remind me of Crete, where I bought them. I''m not Greek but I speak a little Greek (just a little, though) and the shopkeeper/jeweler was talking about them (in English) and she said, "They resemble the fruit... what do you call it..." and I said "oh, karpouzi" (the Greek word for watermelon) like it was nothing. I think she and I were equally surprised that I knew the word.

A sterling silver ram''s head torc from Crafty Celts. I also have wrist torcs to match. They go from day to evening very well, and I wear them a lot when traveling.

Maybe my signature piece is a bit boring, but since I don''t wear very much jewelry, I guess it''s all I have to say "me." That is my diamond stud earring set. I wear them about 90% of the time. I take them out once every other month for a week or so just to enjoy some of my fashion jewelry.

For years and years and years, my signature pieces were my rough diamond rings: the green one is below, and I have a matching white one that I can''t figure out where I stashed the pictures of. I wore them on the middle fingers of my hands.

 

[Circe]

When I got engaged, I ruefully realized that I couldn''t wear a diamond next to another diamond without courting disaster, and it just didn''t feel the same to wear only one at a time ... so while I still pull them out periodically to wear one at a time, they''re no longer my signatures.

In terms of signature style, I would guess everybody who knows me would leap in with a "Family Feud" style "I know! I know!" with "BIG EARRINGS" as the obvious answer. But there''s no one pair of earrings I''d point at (though the fact that I have something like half a dozen pear dangles points to a certain, ah, preference). Perhaps the new pear pendant will be my signature piece? Lordie knows I haven''t taken it off since V-Day ....

 

[Circe]

And, a profile shot, just because I''m still house-proud.

 

[Amber St. Clare]

This is a RHR I frequently wear. I have never seen anything similar on anyone else. Excuse the DIY manicure. We were snowed in!

 

[reader]

The rough diamond rings are yummy, more information please! (I love the pear pendant too, looks like it lays perfectly flat and the stone is to die for)

 

[Circe]

Thanks, Reader! Coming from you, I''m especially flattered (your collection is one of my favorites). I have a thread up on the white one, which is easier than digging through all my folders: it lives
here. I guess I never gave my green its own thread - I will have to rectify that soon! And thanks for the pendant compliment - I''m still at the point where I go back and forth between loving it completely and freaking out because I don''t know enough about pears to be sure. Ah, the joys of perfectionism ....

 

[ringthings]

This are all so pretty!

I especially love the pear pendent.

 

[ringthings]

I''m not sure what my signature piece is yet.

I recently retired a class ring, replacing it with a silver and stone ring.

On the other hand, I have an heirloom ring.

I really want to custom design a pendent out of either heirloom stones of some kind, or just find some stones I like and design something exactly how I want it.

 

[reader]

@Circe, *blushing* thank you, I had no idea anyone here even noticed what I had...you completely made my day and I LOVE your sense of style.

Not the best photo of my torcs, but that''s what I''m known for around here. The diamond gets very little notice.

I guess my signature piece of jewelry would be pearl strands. I loved pearls for years and rarely walk out the door without a pearl strand. Over the years, i''ve picked up some from my mother and grandmother, and others my husband gave me and switched around, but always have one on daily. I wore them before I really knew anything about where they came from, or the type of pearl, but I wore them because they came from some loved one, and loved their beauty.

Since coming to PS and learning more about Tahitians, south seas, akoyas and others, I''ve expanded the collection. I switch around and wear them single strand, layered or mixed up together, but there is almost always one on. So I guess pearls would be a signature piece of jewelry.

Watches would be a close second

I just bought my first diamonds a couple of months ago - stud earrings - and they haven''t been out of my ears for more than a few minutes to clean them I guess they''re my signature piece for now!

 

[gracerace]
