Seeing as how I added some bling to my collection during my PS hiatus, I figured I'd better post a few pics before you ladies send the bling police over here. :errrr: :lol:

I don't remember if these got posted before or not. They're WF pre-set .25 CTW ACA's. I wanted a tiny pair of studs, and these fit the bill. I actually want some smaller then this, but haven't gotten around to ordering yet. Here's the pics from Becca.

The Next Thing I Added Was These JbEG Chandelier Earrings

I've always loved doing business with these ladies, and last spring these pretties jumped off the page and smacked me. They're about 1 1/4" or long, about 1CTW. Very nice diamonds, although not super ideal cut. I love these things.

Merry Christmas to my Mother - Part 2.

Once again, these pics tell the tale. She loves it and wears it 24/7 with her earrings. :cheeky:

I don't remember the details about the stone, except that it's a BGD signature I color, in the .35ct range. Jamie picked it out for me. :tongue:

And My Christmas in the Sand......

A pair of drops, each stone a J-VS2 in the low 40's.

Loose Stone Lollapalooza!

About the time I left PS I was buying up some loose stones for a project that's still somewhere in the depths of my mind. I snagged up more than I'll need because a few real good deals came past my nose. I knew I'd use the extras for something. :mrgreen: The stones are an 81 pt GIA EX-EX-EX I-SI1, a pair of .67 I-SI1's, a pair of .61 G-SI's, (one WF ACA, one ebay H&A), and 5 from BGD between .41 and .51ct, all G-SI-1's.

There's a couple other stones in the pics, old and not so well cut.

Those .67's Matched Se Well.....

That I sent them off to WF, where one of them had a nice reunion with the folks there. I love the .82TCW eight prong earrings I've had for a couple years, so I decided to add a larger pair set the same way. These look big in my ears. :love:

Those chandelier earrings, either on an ear or simply hanging up - are exquisite.

Gosh, blinding ice! Love them all -- but especially the chandelier earrings, exactly what I'd have if I could choose anything. You've done a great job all around!

Wow, you have been busy!! Thinking about all your other pieces - your jewellery box must be overflowing :love:


The pic of the loose stack took my breath away. I'm used to seeing five pointers presented that way... but these are, y'know, fifty and eighty pointers, just tucked away in their little box... :lickout: :naughty:

Wow, love it all. Thanks for sharing. So, are the details of your loose diamond project a secret? :read:
P.S. I read your little brown diamond thread and enjoyed it. I'm really glad you're back!

This thread has been such fun to read. I've been waiting for this thread since you came back. I was certain you had been doing a few jewelry projects while you were gone. And, I was not disappointed at all. Thank you.

Welcome back again, kick that cancer's butt, and keep on posting about your wonderful jewelry. :bigsmile:

Nice collection,thank you for sharing. I really like the drops! I have missed your posts, I love the way you plot and plan a project oops then just pull an Andelain right in the middle and we get a surprise!! Can't wait to see what you have planned for the loose stones. I too have a small collection of random loose stones, about 20 ,none as big as your largest but all around .15-.55 and some melee that is really good as well as 3 cabochon stones,1 of each ruby sapphire and emerald that I am trying to figure out what to do with, so I look forward to hearing what you are planning to do!! If you have any ideas but not blow your secret share please!!!!!
