So for about $1k, someone gets enough little glow bombs to make a gorgeous piece! I wonder if she'll split the parcel.

Exactly! Minou, they're listed (and priced) individually, so you can by as many or as few as you need/like.

The 1.6 mm are all gone!!! She now has some 1mm melee available.

Also.. I may have to push back my diamond upgrade plans to next year. Just bought the 1/2 carat Paraiba, 30 of the 1mm melee, and 8 of the Burmese spinels. I can't resist it when Yvonne has a sale!

 

[arabella]

It looks like there's a few more 1.6 and there's some 1mm left! I got myself some 1mm...can't wait to use them!

 

[elle_71125]

I just snagged some of the 1.6

Lol...you naughty, naughty girl.
I can't say I blame you though...they were just so bright and on sale!

OMG Mochiko!!! So excited for you! I almost bought the 1/2 carat today but stopped myself just in time. I CANT WAIT TO SEE IT!!!

Yeah I'm super excited!!! I loved the look of Sparklieslover's paraiba ring, so I'm thinking of the paraiba center stone with paraiba halo, maybe with both the 1mm and 1.6mm melee, but need to look at the proportions first. Otherwise I'm sure I'll find something to do with the melee

I also bought some of the second batch of 1.6mm Paraiba melee that Yvonne listed, and narrowly stopped myself from getting the hauyne (well I did have it in my cart but someone bought them all before I could decide whether to complete the transaction! Was it a PSer who got them? Come on, 'fess up! You will be forgiven if photos and setting plans are shared, lol! )

 

[simurgh]

It was me. I couldn't help myself.

Sparklies, how's the mahenge doing?? I'd love to see pics!

 

[Desertrose]

Mochiko - I also got some of the 1.6mm and 1mm paraiba...some of the 2mm and 1.5mm hauynite...some of the 2.2mm burmese spinel...and one of the paraiba marquis!

I feel like a stalker of Yvonne's etsy store!

I'm planning on several sets of petal earrings, the petal marquis necklace, and two flower ring...definitely will post whenever they get done!

 

[Sungura]

I managed to get 15 of the 1.6's. Should be enough to to halo a 5mm stone plus extras for breakage. Last year I got 10 2mm and those are in a pendant in my avatar. In hindsight I should have done a ring with those larger ones, but whatevs. Now I know I'm getting some Paraiba in a ring.

Good to know PS'ers are getting a lot of what has been posted: the marquise, the 1/2 carat and so much melee. Yippee

 

[SparkliesLuver]

Way to go, everyone!

It's actually back with Brad, simurgh. Hopefully it makes the next person in line very happy!

 

[dk168]

I am fully aware that my Mahenge from Yvonne will not be the one and only purchase from her!

Did you find his photos to be accurate

Yvonne sent me a photo of the gems I bought, as I wanted to see how well they matched together.

 

[minousbijoux]

Ooh, so purdy, Mochiko!

 

[Acinom]

Mochiko!!!
Beautiful to the max! What do you have in mind for these?

 

[dk168]

mochiko42,

Very nice colour combination with the Paraiba and Spinels!

Can't wait to see the finished ring.

[lovedogs]

Gorgeous, mochiko! Can't wait to see what you do with them!

Oh gosh, those are absolutely gorgeous together.
I picked up a small oval paraiba, from her, on Friday. Seeing this really makes me want to get those spinels too.
(Oh, God ...the money I've spent during Yvonne's sale already ).

How great, mochiko! I cannot wait to see how you use these! And thank you for being a fan of my ring - I'm humbled by that.

I did and I didn't, at the same time, Niel. I should probably also say that I'm looking for something pretty particular, so it's nothing against his stone.

 

[chrono]

The year of Paraiba + pink continues from the end of 2015 through early 2016. These are gorgeous!

 

[Desertrose]

Beautiful Mochiko! You picked a great paraiba!

 

[Lovinggems]

Wow pink and blue/green are my absolute favourites. Thank you for the photos everyone.
I purchased some of the 1.6mm paraiba melees from Yvonne, not sure what to do with them...actually I do... I want a ring similar to SparkliesLuver.
