2009 Goodies I have been hiding... 1.5 carat pear and a few Simon G pieces....

[butterfly 17]

Okay, so I got a few things in 2009 and never posted any of those things, except for a picture here and there and of course I did post that thread on my 2.417 ACA.
So, it was snowing here in NY and I figured why not take a few pictures since I can''t go out.

So, sit, back and enjoy.

First, is my 1.5 carat pear, G S12, set in a platinum 5 prong setting. With a platinum and diamond baguette band. The band has 9 diamonds with .43 ctw. from ID Jewelers.

Next, two Simon G right hand rings.

The first one has pink and white diamonds in pink and white 18kt. gold. It has .30 ctw. white diamonds and .11 ctw. pink diamonds.

The second one is tri colored and I wear it on my middle finger right hand. It has pink, yellow and white diamonds. It reminds me of ribbons.

My two Simon G pendants.....

The first one I received for Mother''s Day, it has yellow and white diamonds, and is also tricolored gold. The heart is pink gold with white diamonds. I forget the carat weight, but I think it''s something like .36 white diamonds and .11 yellow diamonds.

The second pendant I got as a anniversary gift for our 16th wedding anniversary. I love love love it. It has all white diamonds and it''s .99 tcw. The chain has tiny bezel set diamonds in pink and white gold. There is one area that has one yellow gold bezel set diamond, but that is the only yellow gold. Love love love this pendant!!!

Next up are my two sets of David Morris earrings. I wanted long dangly pink and white gold earrings and I found these and fell in love.
They are 14 kt. white gold and rose gold and each set has about .60 ctw. white diamonds.

These were for Christmas.

Next, my Simon g bracelet. 18 kt. white gold with 2.94 ctw. diamonds. It was made a little too big, so I had a jeweler remove 4 links and make them into earrings.

This thing is extremely sparkly.

Butterfly, your ''09 pieces are amazing! Thank you for sharing!

WOW! I love the ring and the bracelet!

Two vintage watches I got. One is a Hamilton in platinum with a black cord and the other one is a Parker in platinum with a 14 kt. white gold diamond tennis bracelet type band...

Oh and in the front, I put a tennis bracelet I got last year as well. It was sold to me as a three carat diamond bracelet, but I think is it more like 2 carats bc the diamonds are slightly smaller than in the Simon G bracelet.

nataliesamaras, monarch64, BeachRunner, brellymom, MakingTheGrade,

Thanks!
I kept meaning to post pictures, but have just been quite busy.
Today was a perfect day to post a thread so I figured why not post everything in one shot. I have a few more things I want to add, but it keeps saying my file size is too big.

Thanks mrssalvo!

i got both on ebay actually.

All the metal on the Hamilton is platinum, I think it''s stamped pt900 and I love that the band is platinum as well. I received it and it was not working, so I brought it into a watch repair and they cleaned it up a little, serviced the watch and polished the crystal. Most of the hamiltons I saw on ebay only had the case area with platinum and the rest of the band was a cord band, so I was very excited to get this watch.

The other watch is a Parker brand, I tried to look up information, but it was very hard. I know that Parker was bought by the Star Company, but that was all I could find.
The case area is also platinum and the tennis type bracelet is 14kt. white gold. I got this watch for an amazing price actually and was surprised that it was in working condition and needed no repair.
The inside casing back has service dates scratched in and I was able to loupe them and one was dated 1/32, so the watch is pretty old, but apparently was well taken care of.
