Wow, those are gorgeous! I love the earrings with the emeralds, rubies, and pearls, and the ruby earrings with pearl drops, and--well, and all of them, really!

Where were they made? They don''t look like anything I see around here (New York).

Any chance you can post some ear shots and neck shots?

 

[Indylady]

Thanks Glitterata! My family is from Bangladesh (though I was born and raised in the States) so we pick them up when we go back home. Though, New York actually has a lot of Indian/Bangladeshi jewelers in this area called Jackson Heights. The gold in Bangladesh is almost always a higher karat than here, but their gemstones are...just..well, not so great. They''re usually native cut and the color varies throughout a piece, so recently I''ve started buying and matching my gemstones in the States and then taking them over. Jewelry is kind of thought as an investment over there; so when people give each other gifts, they usually go for jewelery (esp. when babies are born and at weddings) because they think that it will last and be remembered.

I designed the ruby with pearl drops myself! Its actually a really simple design. The two that you picked out are actually my favorites! The earrings with cabs are a little bit busy, but when I wear them I usually wear it without a necklace or chain to tone it down.

[glitterata]

Wow, you designed those yourself? They''re lovely!

My other favorite is the necklace with the multicolored stones.

I want to see an ear shot of tho rubies with the pearl drops. Pretty please?

What a stunning collection!! I am not sure I could pick a favorite... The multistrand choker or the ruby/pearl drops are strong contenders however.

 

[DiaDiva]

You have such beautiful and exotic jewellery! Thanks for sharing.

 

[Indylady]

Aww thank you so much Sharon! If you''re ever in Florida, I wouldn''t mind!

Definitely Glitterata! I''ll take one later today and put it up.

Jmtomaui- Thank you so much! The multi-strand choker is one of my older pieces and also one of my favorites too.

And thank you Diadiva

Here''s an earshot!

 

[Kelli]

Wow you have some of the most interesting and pretty pearl jewelry I''ve ever seen! You must just love wearing it! Rubies and pearls are mine and my FI''s birthstones. It''s nice to see them looking so great together!

 

[glitterata]

Wow, that''s even prettier on your ear than I expected! Thanks for posting the picture. You must get lots of compliments on those earrings.

Thank you so much Kelli, Glitterata, and Skippy!

I really appreciate everyone''s comments! You guys are so sweet.

The design for the earrings was actually really simple! Its just 3 little pear shaped rubies and I think about 7 rounds.
