I wasn't paying attention the first time around. All these are new pieces. OMG. I don't know what to say. Congratulations seems so insufficient. Wear them all in good health and joy.

Gorgeous overload! I love all of the settings, all of your stones and the jackets are beautiful.
Amazing find with regard to your fabulous unicorn, but your yellow gold marquise has my heart

Congratulations! Enjoy your bling fest!

Re: Sweet-an IDJ suite! 0.65 EVS2 MQ, 3.03ISI2 MRB, 0.75Jack

Congrats on your new bling totally amazeballs!!!! I love your EC, but I think Pollo has my heart

Thank you arkieb1! Birds of a feather, flock together!

Your collection is exquisite! I love the e/w marquise ring and the blue stones that you wear with the jackets! Thank you for sharing - congratulations and enjoy!!!

Thank you Queenie60! YOU are the one with truly exquisite taste and bling! Your double milgrained pendant has kicked off a frenzy of double milgraining!!!!

Well, here I am drooling on my keyboard! How exciting! Congrats on finding Pollo! I love her 8-prong setting!
I almost died at "Miami, I am your sistahhhhhh!!!!" But seriously...adopt me. We can make this work.

Hi LadyMCh - You flatter me too much! I'm glad you found that "sistahhhh" comment funny! I'm open to adoption as long as you're potty trained

Too much amazing bling for one thread, PB!!!! Goodness, you have had a good year!!!! Gorgeous rings and earrings!!!

Thanks DS! My wallet doesn't agree ... too skinny!

PB, your collection is just MAGNIFICENT! Have a huge EC in addition to a 3ct MRB would totally be my dream come true! I didn't even realize you had the sapphire cab in the works! Did IDJ source those as well?

Hi Carebear! Thank you very much! I got the 5mm cabs from Stachura.

Love, Love, Love your collection PintoBean Most of all your EC, and your MRB too... its so lovely to be able to pick a different ring for a different day, they're all winners Are you on LT PintoBean? ... I had a question.

Hi ringcat! Thank you for the sweet compliments! No, I'm not on LT, but if you have a question you can reply to the IDJ hangout thread, or if it's more private in nature, setup a LT post and alert me through the hangout htread.

Love love love!!!!! Loved reading this thread and I love your collection!!!!!

Thank you so much larenk! I'm glad you are enjoying the thread!

Re: Sweet-an IDJ suite! 0.65 EVS2 MQ, 3.03ISI2 MRB, 0.75Jack

Beautiful collection!

Thank you lknvrb4!

You have truly outdone yourself in one year - beautiful, beautiful rings! What will you do for an encore?

I actually want a 7 stone 40 pointer EC band HAHAHAHAAHA - that's for 2017, I think...

Seriously, Pinto?? This is all so gorgeous that I may just vomit!!

Bahaahahaha - this is too funny! Thank you Alex T!

Seconding the vomiting happening in the last post and also lining up for adoption: I've already been to college so no worries on that front. HOLY MOTHER - Pinto this collection is unbelievable. Congratulations!!! In addition to your STUH-NNING EC, the E-W marquise is so sweet (and gives you tons of finger coverage!) and the unicorn is just sweet simplicity.

Nice! You're a prime candidate for adoption for sure! BAHAHAAHHA! Thank you Fulvia!

Wow! Your collection is growing by leaps and bounds! Such beautiful pieces...you're on a roll...dont stop now!

Thank you tyty333 for the flattery and the enaBLING! Ooo.... did anyone ever notice that "bling" is within "enabling"?

Absolutely positively gawwwwwgeoussss darling gawwwwgeous!!! My twinsie!!!!!! You made out like a serious bandit!!! You've got quite the enabling DH...mine told me not to get any ideas when I showed him your new haul
I think you funded more than college with all this!! Now adopt me quick so I can have Pollo and Miami as sistahs too!!! Can't wait for a gtg so we can take group shots!!!

ac117 - TWINSIE!!! Thank you for enabling yet reality checking when necessary lololol and for providing the preview shots whenever you go to IDJ for your own "shtuff". OK - instead of enabling, I hope my haul "inspires" you BAHAHAAHAHAHA!

Beautiful rings, each so different. I must say the EC pulls my strings. You have had a great year but you still have time left

Thank you bright ice for the kind words and the "inspiration" to be efficient with the balance of 2016 lolol... Why wait till 2017 for more bling? BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Honey, they are ALL drop dead gorgeous specimens of the beauty one can find while diving into this crazy passion of ours. I don't have a favorite because they all have such unique personality unto themselves but........ Maybe because I saw her in person as soon as she was done, I do love Miss Miami. I think I told you that through your newly finished ring which was laying down, I got to read the specs on the stone. I asked Yekutiel "can I look?" Sure! you're going to see it soon anyway. Well I saw VVS2 and my little heart just skipped a beat. Love, lurve, wuvved her at first sight! Congratulations on owning such unique beauties! I can't imagine the feeling. How does it feel?

Thank you gemgirl for your kind words and cheerleading as I dove head first into these projects. Hmm... how does it feel? It honestly feels almost complete - like one or two more serious pieces of jewelry and I'm DONE for LIFE! Isn't that crazy? i didn't think I would be done so early. The EC band, and MAYBE larger studs...

I'm just curious! Out of all the new pieces which is your favorite? Or perhaps top two?

Re: Sweet-an IDJ suite! 0.65 EVS2 MQ, 3.03ISI2 MRB, 0.75Jack

What a haul, PB! I love them all!!

I also love your sense of humour...so infectious!! I always look fwd to reading your posts, they're so happy and make me chuckle each and every time.

Wear all your pretties in great health and happiness.

Re: Sweet-an IDJ suite! 0.65 EVS2 MQ, 3.03ISI2 MRB, 0.75Jack

PB, IRL, does the EC show more or less color than the MRB?

 

[Resonance.Of.Life]

Re: Sweet-an IDJ suite! 0.65 EVS2 MQ, 3.03ISI2 MRB, 0.75Jack

OMG, LOVE LOVE LOVE your entire suite!

Re: Sweet-an IDJ suite! 0.65 EVS2 MQ, 3.03ISI2 MRB, 0.75Jack

I'm just curious! Out of all the new pieces which is your favorite? Or perhaps top two?

Hmmm...I think my favorites are the Miami EC and the tennis bracelet for 1st place, followed by the Pollo unicorn. The Miami EC because Yekutiel actually had it out to show a friend for size purposes, and he thought of me. That's very special to have a vendor know you that well that he can see something and know that it screams "Pinto Bean"! Also, because the EC journey coincided partly with cchloe's upgrade journey, and ac117 and gemgirl both got to see Miami in person at IDJ. It was really nice to make a connection to PSers like that.

The tennis bracelet because of LLJsmom - when she posted that picture of her in a plaid top with jeans rocking a TB bracelet, I was like TB's aren't just for tennis or dress up, they can look effortlessly chic on an average day, too! Seeing the TB in that new light really got me amped to get one!

Pollo unicorn because I really wasn't looking for her, but when I found her, I had to have her. It was fun sharing the journey with ac117 and getting to be twinsies with her "stunnning Stellla". I also am very proud of the fact that the setting is now an IDJ offering!

What a haul, PB! I love them all!!
I also love your sense of humour...so infectious!! I always look fwd to reading your posts, they're so happy and make me chuckle each and every time.
Wear all your pretties in great health and happiness.

Thank you Phoenix! You are an absolute doll yourself! I believe you're somewhere in Asia and I hope one day we can meet up abroad or in NY.

PB, IRL, does the EC show more or less color than the MRB?

Excellent question! I just did a photoshoot because of this question. In a nutshell, when I have H, I and K together, they all look white to me top down, in all kinds of lighting. As for the EC - I am going to forever think of EC as being short for "Ever so Creepy". Why? when the facets are "off" you see FLESH through the stone, but when they are "on", it's white! Thank god I'm an animated woman that talks with my hands a lot so you get less "Ever so Creepy" fleshy moments. Give me a few to vet the pics and upload

OMG, LOVE LOVE LOVE your entire suite!

Thank you ROL!!!

From the fingernail down: diamonds of the colors H, I, K and K ("hick")
Honestly, I think from the top down, they are all pretty on par with whiteness. As I mentioned above, the EC has the "Ever so Creepy" flesh factor The H is a very good cut, IIRC, while the I is an XXX, and the K is an AGS0, and the EC is just... blocky .
