Gypsy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,306 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 8/9/2005	So, John's asked me for some present suggestions for my birthday (Labor Day weekend)... with no guarantees that he'll actually get me anything off the suggestions list (he thinks this is keeping the mystery alive ) I'm not sure how much he wants to spend. So how about suggestions at 100-450 dollars. He wants to get me 'ear bling' this year, either for my B-day or for chistmas... so I thought these might be nice for 450 in 14K. I like these too: http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com/jewelry-designers/honora-jewelry/earrings/05Z2/24/ These are too thin, I think: http://www.jamesallen.com/products/item_410-112.asp A nice colored stone would be lovely too. Or a pendant. Dont' know. Doesn't have to be jewelry... that's just where my mind is.... what would you have on your "list"??? Any and all ideas appreciated.

MC Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,814 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 2/8/2003	The JA style looks the cutest. They don't mention anything about cut or clarity, though, which leaves that to be a bit of a mystery. The WF ones may sparkle the most, but I don't like the style.

Gypsy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,306 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 8/9/2005	I like the pendant! But do they come in different shapes? I'm not a really palm tree type of gal. I'm feel, like I'm masquerading as someone much more fun and hip than I really am. LOL.

sera Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,086 Last Post: 5/22/2008 Member Since: 6/28/2007	Out of the three, I like the James Allen ones the best. On my list this year are some rainbow sapphire earrings (or maybe a ring or pendant... something rainbow anyway, I love color ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May you live all the days of your life. -Swift

MC Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,814 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 2/8/2003	yes, there are tons of styles to fit nearly every personality. Many more are available than those in this picture here. Many of them come in different carat weights, too, like the Palm tree comes in a larger size along with the .17 I have.

snlee Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,449 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 10/6/2004	How fun! I wish I could get my husband to buy me jewelry gifts but he'd much rather buy me practical gifts. The RC flower pendant is cute. I also like this WF flower cluster diamond pendant. AmberGretchen has this pendant. I'm not sure if you noticed it at the GTG. I like the look of the JA hoop earrings but I agree with you that they are too thin. I would prefer the WF pair over those since they are a little over 2mm (more than double the width) and you can't go wrong with ACA's.

singingbell Cut Rock Total Posts: 198 Last Post: 9/18/2009 Member Since: 9/28/2004	Oooh, I really like the RC flower pendant! The WF earrings are a nice choice too! You and I both have our birthdays on Labor Day weekend! How wonderful that you have a sweet guy who'd surprise you with jewelry for your special day! I rarely receive jewelry as a b-day gift. (I'll admit, though, that I've treated myself to an early present this year. I've wanted a Citizen Eco-Drive watch for a long time and finally decided to go for it.) Hope you'll have a lovely birthday and get the gift from the top of your wish list!

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	I would love a pair of ultra thin hoops, so I'd pick JA's. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Gypsy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,306 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 8/9/2005	MC-- they are really cute! Thanks to you and Skippy for the suggestions. Luckystar-- those are pretty! I'm actually thinking of just purchasing the Belleirina setting and a colored stone though. I love that setting. And could eventually trade out an inexpensive colored stone for a diamond. Snlee... John doesn't believe in practical gifts for me. If I want something practical I usually have to negotiate for it. Strange but true. I'm agreeing with you on JA being too thin. I still prefer the WF ones. Although honestly my first choice is for a pair of scattered diamond huggies like the ones we were discussing the possibility of in the WF thread. I did see Amber's pendant and it was lovely. It's very similar to one my grandmother has though, and I borrow it sometimes, so I'd rather get something a little different. Singingbell-- That is great! I need a watch, a nice everyday one, actually. I've been eyeing the Coach Madison watch for a while. It's made by Movado, looks good on my wrist, its got a classic style that I really like and I feel works well for everyday, plus it's not too flashy and it's affordable. Ellen, I have this weird fear of them getting tangled in my long hair and then ripping out of my ear when they are that thin. Weird huh?

Tacori E-ring Ideal Rock Total Posts: 16,082 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 8/15/2005	I really like the JA hoops. Also then you could add charms (Ann posted some pretties a while back). I think hoops/dangly earrings are SO flattering to the face. A new purse WOULD be fun though!!!! ETA: I really like that coach watch you posted! Seems like a style that would go with everything.

singingbell Cut Rock Total Posts: 198 Last Post: 9/18/2009 Member Since: 9/28/2004	Gypsy, I love the Coach watch you posted! The rectangular design is so elegant! It reminds me of the Citizen Eco-Drive Petite Palidoro which is one of my favorite Eco-Drive styles. There's also the Cartier Tank Francaise. Not quite within the price range you specified, I know... But talk about a classic! I recently saw it at the Cartier store in NYC, and now it's my ultimate, when-I-win-the-lottery dream watch.
