beau that paved heart is just faboo!  I love the plump puffiness of it.

elle, your earrings are ......... I''m just sighing a heavy long satisfying sigh   I''d love to live next door to you so I could borrow your jewelry!

It is so gray, dingy and dreary today in NY.  I have to wait for some kind of light to takes photos of my new blingies. 

aww thanks gemgirl

You''re probably not too far from me so come on over and borrow. hehehe.

The weather is terrible today and it''s sooo foggy near me. Still need to get out and do some shopping though.

I posted this in the gift thread in hangout, but here''s a link to a few pics!
It''s a .25 ct J VS1 pendant.

Gorgeous Elle!

Here's a better pic in the light.
I love all the jewelry posted...great gifts ladies!
(oops..didn't realize it would turn out so large. That's nobody's skin by the way..I laid the necklace on a leather sofa. The background looks rather odd..so close up!)

I had a few minutes to takes a couple of pics of my new Christmas bling~

14K milgrained vintage inspired lever backs.  Small carat weight.  They were just a "throw those in too" purchase.  They''re good for every day.  They have a weird square lever back with a safety locking clasp.  The mechanism is worth what I paid for the earrings.

Gemgirl, those are beautiful earrings.  I love antiquey-looking jewelry.  Do you happen to have a profile shot?  I''d love to see the leverback mechanism you''re talking about.

This is what I got!

I was the winner of my Fantasy Football League, and since my husband''s the Commissioner, he bought me a new setting for my IF diamond!  I have a SuperBowl ring!!!

And I''ve wanted a classic four prong tennis bracelet for a very long time- my whole life really.  I''m lucky to own other diamond bracelets, but they all have some type of design to them.  I wanted a classic line bracelet.  Although my heart was always set on five carats, this three carat baby was what fit into my budget comfortably.   3.01 ct.  H/I, SI1/SI2  from my favorite store on planet earth.

That is beautiful! That is my favorite setting for a diamond bracelet!  So what is your favorite store on earth? Enquiring minds want to know!

gemgirl- i think i need to play in YOUR jewelry box! beautiful pieces. So where is this amazing store?

coati and amber- thank you

LeilanRL- very, very, VERY pretty

Mike- I like the necklace she got you, my husband used to wear something similiar.

I rushed to try to get a shot of this lever back for you, so it may not be very clear.  The lever back itself is square instead of more oval-ish and the back clips up onto the notch on the heavy cast ear bar.  Once it''s closed, believe me, it''s closed.  The first time I tried them on, I bloodied both my thumbs trying to get them off.  I walked around the house with the right one in my ear for four hours.  I thought I was going to have to have my husband cut it off with one of his tools.  In any case, a friend who is a jewelry designer uses this same mechanism on her earrings that cost many thousands of dollars.  They don''t come off unless you want them off.

My mom bought me earrings like that for christmas ad I love them but the freaking posts cut up my ears. I might have to take them to a jeweler to get them fixed.

cell, if you liked those, you''ll love these.  I bought these four years ago though.  These are .38pts H/I SI1/SI2 and have a regular lever back.

Oh I know!  I had to paint both of my thumbs with Nu-Skin for a week because of the gashes and puncture wounds.  I had the jeweler bend the ear bar slightly and now I can unclip them with a little bit of concentration, but they''re the most secure lever back we can own.

diamondseeker, it''s the "F" store.  They are not Pricescope vendors, so I''d better not mention the name, but Mrs. F sits on the Board of Governors of GIA.  This particular store is so interested in selling quality and maintaining their well earned reputation, that they inspect every single piece of jewelry that comes into their warehouse.   Nothing is sent to a store unless it is exactly what it says on the little tag and no stones are ever seconds (no cracks, chips, striations etc.)  Just perfect quality goods......... like Whiteflash!
