2011 Christmas/Holiday Bling thread (post yours here!)

[marcy]

Starshine, your pendant is perfection. It looks amazing. (Threadjack - do you like astronomy?)

Okay, I didn't want to change clothes to take a neck shot of the cross, so it is on over a turtleneck, sorry! These are not good and really do not show how bright the cross is on. I honestly think this is the best size for me for a diamond cross.

 

[starshine]

Thank you for the neckshots, DS! I think that size is perfect! This is so going on my list. Thank you for your thread on your Barbara Pendant, too....your pics helped me to decide to go with the miligrain and a 17" chain!

Fantastic! It really does help me to see things here, too! It sounds like we like a lot of the same things!

Thank you! Lol--no, not into astronomy much. My mom used to sing "Good Morning Starshine" when I was little and I tend to hum it when I put my jewelry on in the morning....guess I'm saying good morning to my bling!

I LOVE your diamond, Skippy, and can't wait to see how you decide to set it!

thanks friend, I probably need some ideas!!!

I would be spending serious time on the Singlestone site, probably!

 

[Skippy123]

I love it!!! The perfect size DS! I have been checking out the site, thanks.

Everyone got such beautiful gifts! Love them all!

I'll add a not great photo of mine! DH gave me this at Christmas. It's a Gabriel & Co. 3/4 eternity sapphire and diamond pave band, milgrained bezels. I wish my iphone could pick up the beautiful blue in the sapphires! They aren't that dark. DH bought it to go with my new setting (well, it's a few months old now). It's gorgeous and I'm kicking myself for thinking of selling it! When we get a new camera, I'll start a thread in SMTB on my pave setting as well!

Happy New Year!

Everyone received such beautiful gifts! I am really enjoying this entire thread even though I have nothing to contribute. Thank you all for sharing!

I guess my new OEC counts as Christmas bling!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

OOhhh, yes that does count, Dreamer!!! LOVE seeing these gorgeous OEC's!

Feb03bride...I am so glad you are keeping the ring! It is beautiful and perfect with your e-ring!

 

[jezebelle]

Thanks for the compliment, Yssie! I may make a thread about the moonstone ring when I get the matching earrings and necklace I'm having made.

I'm LOVING everyone's Christmas bling! I'm usually more of a colored stone girl but I am drooling over these diamonds! Also LOVE the heart shaped garnet set from earlier.

I've got one last thing...here's a photo of the ring my husband bought me from Gemvara:



I thought it was sweet that he picked it out and chose the gems himself because he knew I was scoping out the site . It's rhodolite garnet with pink sapphire and pink tourmaline, not a color scheme I would've chosen myself probably, but I think it will look really pretty in person. I'll know for sure in a couple of weeks when it arrives.

Everyone got such beautiful gifts! Santa was very generous this year indeed! I thought that I would add mine as well, they had evidently sold the matching earrings but DH had them bring in a few pair for me to look at and they should arrive just after the new year. very exciting!

My Xmas prezie: very blingy very white huggies to replace the 18pt huggies I sold recently.

These are 8 stones of 37 pt each. 3 E's and 5 F's. 6 are VS1 and the rest VS2. All GIA triple Excellent, ideal cut.

Phoenix! Those babies are the size of stones I looked at in Seattle for my five stone project.... Where are the ear shots. I can't wit to see them! drool.......

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Beautiful ring, jezebelle! So is your necklace, Christina!!!

Phoenix..those are spectaular!!! And I think the size is very proportional to your other jewelry! We do need an ear shot!

Goldyoldies,

I adore the first ring, it's lovely wherever did he find it, I have been looking for one like that?

Hope you enjoy your cross as much as I do mine!
