This is Swarovski - from the Swarovski shop, my first Valentine's present from my DF (2 months after we met). Not a great photo, going to try to find a clearer one. (it's a lilac heart)

You look like you're in a movie!!!

Bubby and Emmy hanging out in the library. :sun:
(not bad IMO as Emmy is a CZ "D" and Bubbalah is a GIA "J")

Okay I will play along, going to take a stab at it and say that the Emerald Cut on top is the CZ and the Bottom ring is the diamond?? o_OAm I even close??:lol:

Newest acquisition..hot off the presses and arrived last night.


Georgian Victorian reproduction cushion cut diamond paste earrings in white gold and oxidized. I chose a warm tinted color for the cushions vs colorless to make them feel more vintage. They are chunkalicious and I love them.

I just need to change the bend on the white gold wires (and cut the wires a bit shorter) so they dangle just below my lobe.

These are from ShanAdams, right?! They are lovely! I have been wanting a pair from her forever!

Yes I posted her in my IG post because she deserves the attention. The earrings are really beautiful.

Only problem is she made them too long for me as I prefer the dangle to be right below my earlobe and they were really way too low despite measuring for her exactly where I wanted them to lay and sending her photos but that's OK. In order to fix them so they lay exactly where I would prefer them to lay my dh bought round nose pliers and adjusted them yesterday. They still do not lay exactly where I want them to (part of the problem is the jump ring necessary for articulation)but we are getting there :lol: and I have to give lots of credit to my dh for being so patient as he had to adjust them slowly and gently as he has never done this before and did not want to break the wires.

This is where they lay now. Much better than when I first received them but still not quite there yet. I would say my dh bent them to lay at least 5 mm closer to my lobe than when I first got the earrings from Shan. Not sure how much closer to the lobe we can get though due to the jump ring. But at least they lay much better now IMO than when they first arrived. The stones and the settings are beautiful. Really lovely and I highly recommend you purchasing from her.

And when I first received them see how much more below the lobe they were?

@leukolenos If you do purchase from her please share photos. I am quite pleased with the chunky faceting and soft glow. The stones I got are tinted warm to convey an old cut real feel and they really do. Still bright and lively with old world charm. Up the kazoo.:love::lol:

Beading was my first foray into jewelry when I was making minimum wage. Swarovski crystals were so expensive to me. 5C8BCCC7-0751-415D-9CCB-65D2E79D2A46.jpeg
Now, I make more money, but jewelry making is still fun! (Don’t worry, the missing beads are just hidden. It was raining and I didn’t want to stay. :lol-2:)

I was just browsing in a shopping mall, as I discovered a new jewelry shop for fashion jewelry. I couldn't resist, and had to buy a DBTY-style necklace in RG color with CZ. I have a WG with diamonds, and they look so good together.

Saw this necklace at the thrift store yesterday and at first thought it was junk, but when I picked it up it was really heavy. Only $6, so I bought it to take home to research. Turned out there was a half price sale, so it was $3. It’s a BEAST, really heavy to wear, but it was a fun find. It’s a signed Givenchy piece.

I bought this ring about ten years ago at Costco! It’s a lab created sapphire..but it looks so real! The real white sapphires in the halo don’t sparkle at all..I wish they put lab created diamonds in it..but I LOVE this ring..

this is my peridot play thing
its white sapphires (no.doubt lab grown but that's ok) in stirling silver
if it had come with diamonds i would have got it !
unfortunately in the light above the bed it really shows up the window in the peridot that isnt hardly noticeable in day.light
ive never had white sapphires before
I've heard you have to clean them alot
she is still new and has never been out and about so still sparkles
of course not like a diamond, she will not flash a rainbow
i sat out in the sun in the back yard with my lupe and a diamond ring and compaired just for fun
oh shame
she is so pretty and fun and much more pretty than the piece of beach glass she looks like in the photo

I have lots of fashion jewellery. I haven't posted many pics of myself in threads before but I can't crop some of them down really.
Firstly my wedding set, from 2007. "Swarovski" crystal handmade tiara, necklace, earrings and bracelet. Even though the wedding didn't last, I still wear the necklace and earrings.

So lovely. Peridot is my birthstone and until recently I didn't appreciate it but now I do. Lovely green.

Not fashion jewelry but I have to share this. Not mine but I wish I could have made it mine. Aren't these gorgeous peridot earrings? Antique. I don't remember the cost but they are so beautiful.
