PB!! It was SO much fun getting together yesterday at IDJ!! I always have a great time playing with their pretty bling :D

Pollo is a true unicorn - she's super beautiful and fiery in person!! I think it'd be CRAZY to pass her up (especially since, as you saw, the SI2 section is usually 99% black pepper!! :lol: ) I have a couple of pictures I took of her that I can post a little later too!

GemGirl, as PB mentioned, your necklace is truly stunning in person. It floored us both! Yekutiel did an amazing job!

I tried on a beautiful pair of 1.6ctw hoops that I'm considering (PB posted a picture above) and also a jaw dropping 7ctw pair that were just :drool: :lickout: :love:!!!! It's so hard not to get caught up in something you're not even there for :naughty:


Hi guys! I told PB this morning it was OK to post pictures of Miss Tanzi because I was going to be running around today. You guys have been BUSY!!!!!!! I've got to continue reading.

I just love the color of good tanzanite. It's my colored stone vice. I have to take pictures of my new tanzanite earrings that Yekutiel made for me after I chose this great heavy duty lever back setting. Stay tuned!

I have one more thing in the works to celebrate a stroke of great good fortune in our lives, my husband's once in a lifetime job opportunity. We were married for a third time in a private ceremony of just us two, and to commemorate that event, I'm having yet another anniversary band made. I'm kinda' thinking it will be close to my last because I've got myself some collection. In any case, Papa I. is choosing the diamonds for a half garland band with larger stones. It's only been in the works for a week. That's why the ladies didn't see it yet, but all of your sparklies are getting me itchy for my new ring! A couple more weeks of sleeps and I'll have her on my finger. :dance: Patience is a virtue.......

Yay - I got some videos of my marquise ring. It's only been pre-polished so far. I guess it's polished at pre-polish, polished at polish stage and post-polished stage - polished after setting? hahahaha... forget the stages and terminology. I'm just going to pretend that there are IDJ elves that bring their forest magic to the diamond district.

Screenshots galore!

I can't believe this thread is still going!
I'm so glad though because it's keeping me going whilst I wait for my bracelet to be finished.
Pintobean, you are about to get another stunner, that setting is really beautiful :love:

It's so clever how they make these things!
You are lucky you ordered when you did, my tennis bracelet won't be ready till they return from holiday after the 10th of next month :???:
It's going to be set in LLJs setting with 0.13-0.14 pointers to give me about 5.5 TCW.
I'm too excited. I've been going into jewellery shops to try on the equivalent carat weight to scratch the itch!!

Pinto Bean - your ring is going to be beautiful. I love it and want it. I may have to ask them to make me one, with your permission!

RosieR - I'd die for a TB with your size pointers! :love: it's so well worth the wait. My IDJ TB with 10+ pointers makes me smile whenever I wear it!

PB, WOW the details on that setting! Are you going with clawed prongs or beads? Me thinks you need some new family photos (or thread) for your extensive collection once this ring and unicorn pollo are completed! :naughty:

I want one too! She is SO sassy indeed! Positively scrumptious- and in the yellow gold- oh baby! :lickout: :lickout:

Is this proprietary?! Can we call up Yekutiel and order up a "sassy pinto?!" It could be one more addition to the IDJ secret menu.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I will try to get a family photo when everything is finished! :dance:

Hi Leukolenos - I thought about it and i decided to slightly amend my response - proprietary yes to IDJ in the design sense, since we made changes to the inspirational antique/vintage ring, but IDJ can go ahead and sell to as many lovers of "sassy" as they want! We could start a sassy club! LOLOLOL! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sassy is set! Milgrain to be added to petals. For those who prefer a smooth look, these screenshots should give you an idea of what the ring would look like without milgrain.
