5+ carats - Estate piece from Firestone and Parson in Boston.

Guess the color??? L, for real. There was a hint of color, but not an L. Had a total Liz Taylor moment. ;-)

Oh it was yours for 15 whole seconds :naughty: I've totally had a crush on step cuts lately. You gave ME a heart pitter patter by sharing!!! :love:

Oh how divine! :cheeky: It looks perfect on you! Dare I ask how much they were asking for it, LOL?!

Mom2boys, it was just under $56k. It was a stunning piece. It clearly wasn't white white. But it wasn't really warm either. They had just showed me two D asschers and I could tell the difference. It was a little off white, but in the sunlight it showed lots of pastel colors which kinda surprised me.

LINNY! How goes everything? Wedding planning??! Hello!!!!
Hey girl! Wedding planning has been good! My fiancé is quite sick so things are a bit on hold right now. Damn chronic illnesses! But hey. I don't wanna bring down this happy thread with sad talk like that!

How are you doing? How are your wedding plans going?

Okay also, I've decided to shamelessly throw in another pic. :love:

@lin_ny: i really love your wedding set. The rose gold looks so beautiful against your skin tone. Are both rings custom made by ERD? I was trying to find the band on their website but couldn't find it.

Thank you so much! I'm very happy with how they turned out! :))

Yes they're both custom pieces. We worked with Chris both times and although there's usually a few hiccups along the way, it was a pretty smooth process!

Thank you, :wavey:

The cabochon is :confused: unknown weight jade. Who knows if nephrite or jadite. :confused: It's a gift from grandmother. She purchased it from Taiwan back in the day.

The loud cluster ring is an emerald that has a crack rightttttt through the middle of it, and I'm just waiting for it to break. I'll need to replace the center stone. The diamonds are about 2ctw. Loud and obnoxious, ostentatious.... I love it!


Theren, I *love* your nails. Very pinteresting!!! Do you do your nails yourself? I can never do anything with striping involved....

I do! But I never really updated it. I always have so much trouble with the uploader on PS (as I am having now! :angryfire: )that I haven't really found that I like to do full threads or posts with multiple pictures often.

https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/meet-freckles-my-0-933-j-k-i1-oec.184081/

It's included like hell, but it's the most glorious pendant stone ever. I've tried to locate a matching friend to make a set of earrings with it, but I've failed.

Thank you, Junebug. If I had less issues with the picture uploader, this thread would be twice as long. I think I take pictures of my sparklies on a daily basis!! :lol: :oops: There's always great lighting in Southern CA. As for my collection... well... I've tried my best to be "good" while in grad school, but that's been a weak attempt. Pricescope-itis is a serious disease. I swear I'll end up a hobo under a bridge, crazed, but with lots of "my precious" one day. :lol: I blame you guys!!!! I can't believe how much crap I've amassed in the last 3 years of finding PS.

....

That ring is just ugly, loud and obnoxious. You need to get rid of it and forget you ever even had it. I'll send you my address, you can send it to me, and I'll make sure you never have to see it again. :bigsmile: :Up_to_something: :naughty: :bigsmile: :lol:

Aww thanks M2B, I have actually decided to not really post my new stuff on PS. Mostly out of laziness. I just don't take pretty pictures plus resizing photos is just a pain and time consuming. So I might throw up the occasional picture but don't expect much more then that from me. The other excuse is for some reason I want to keep certain pieces special and private. And while I know many out there love and appreciate looking at jewelry, I also dont' want them showing up all over social media, which happens when you post on PS. So I will post a few things here and there but probably won't do full blown SMTB threads anymore. I will post my studs in the stud thread though. Someone else already made me promise. :bigsmile:

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!! I would love to see more pics but I completely understand the desire for privacy. I still haven't put up photos of Gladys in her new outfit. I am not a great photographer and have so little time at the moment.... I will see if I can dig one out and upload....

WOW - I don't know how you didn't attempt to rush out the door still wearing it either!!!! It's stunning (I've wanted a big emerald for a while now so I am literally wiping drool off my keyboard) and it looks stunning on you!!!!

Wow oh wow! Where has this thread been all my life?!! :cheeky: Madelise, I LOVE your showoff ring and your jade! lin-ny, I love the simplicity of your rose gold bezel. LLJ's mom: next time run or if not, take many, many more pics. That is pure iced beauty!
