Bling wishlist/projects for 2025

my wish list is more modest
i want to make a silver suiter chain necklace using my sapphire and diamond charms
i will need help buying the chain
this is the style im aiming for
its two Emma and Rose charms which were sold by Micheal Hill here so terribly overpriced but i want to use them, i will need to get the jeweller to do-dee up the ends to account for the bigger hole

then im going to finnally finish my daisy pearl necklace, its all ready to go to the jeweller when he gets back from a holiday in Spain
i got some nice buroque white akoya pearls for that

in no particular order but i have my vintage cameo that needs a new silver frame and an enhancer pendent, i will need help finding that also, im going for multi purpose brooch and pendant

then i recently brought some Wen pearls off colour pinky toned freshies that i want to make into a 3 strand bracelet and also something like this, they are cheap but pretty, i would not want to have good pearls treated in this way also im hard on my hands but i like a wider bracelet

I love these projects for you Daisy. This will definitely keep you busy. Be sure to update us when you've ticked off an item hehehe. Are you stringing the wen pearls yourself? I'll have to venture into the pearls forum more often lol.

yes i will, my phone is in at samsung getting fixed
im afraid my hands hurt too much to string, part of the disgraphia (which is why i cant spell) makes my hands too sore as i have a vice like grip when doing anything :lol-2: :lol-2:
everyone does say its easy (for normal people)
my jeweller makes a lovey although fairly ''looking clasp i can do them up with eaise

Haha this is your year girl! You forgot to mention that Flora is 5ct+ of old mine goodness haha. The other two on your list should be a piece of cake.

Your fantasy list can be carried over to 2026 lol that's what usually happens. I forgot my list already haha thank god I wrote it down on this thread.

In thinking ruby earrings of some sort this year! That’s it :) I’ve slowed down a lot on purchases.

Aww I love this! Something red is on my list but not this year. Really hope to see you get your Ruby earrings and please show them off when you do. Nothing wrong with slowing down on purchases. Life happens. I currently have no purchases until I go back to work and even then it'll probably take time to start saving again lol.

Lol I'm hoping these kiddos spoil you when they're older. The amount of bling you could get if you didn't have to take care of them lol. Just saying! Hahaha

We just finished paying off braces x 2 in late 2024 and boy was that nice!
 
Ohhh!!!! I forgot something!

This is kinda blingy I suppose…
We were married on March 23. In 2026 we will be celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary and we plan on renewing our vows in March … hence the need for an antique band with a March 23 date… please tag me if you happen to come across one ❤️

Sooo…. This means I get to buy a pretty dress… which brings me to the bling part.
I’ve lost 56 pounds, 15 more to go, and then I can buy her! IMG_4065.jpegIMG_4063.jpegIMG_4064.jpegIMG_4066.jpeg
 
My birthday bling is here, and if this is the only bling for 2025, I am happy!

Photos do not do the Tsavorite justice as the green is very vivid and lively IRL!

I love when we have to write down something cause then it becomes tangible. It can help us remain more focused on our goals. I was really lucky that I achieved my one goal for 2024 so I really like that your list is small and achievable!

We need photos of your reset inspirations. I have seen a few emeralds on PS in recent times and that would be on my wishlist down the track. And FCD is a whole new kettle of fish for me! I also want to see your reset ideas for your asscher. With the gold prices the way they are, I'm not going to be able to do too many custom projects in 2025 either. So definitely collect diamonds now while prices are low. Although I think I read that FCD were still holding value.

Pretty sure this is the one for the asscher:

Here it is currently. It’s a pretty setting but IMHO a thin bezel just looks so good.

Love these wish list threads… every time I consider a new piece, I think about whether it has priority over something on the wishlist.

Completed 2/3 for 2024. Did not reset mom’s emerald because there was another major project going that took a few months, and do not like having multiple major projects at the same time.

So for 2025…

1. Priority is resetting mom’s emerald.
2. Am working on filling out a color collection and can probably do one natural FCD next year.
3. Am toying with resetting an asscher,

The two resets will probably take eight months so this list is good enough. :)

1. Mom’s emerald is with the setting vendor. Working on the design. This is one of the projects I want done more than other projects so I feel like I am making good use of resources notwithstanding metal prices going up and stone prices falling.

2. Waiting a bit on diamond prices to see whether to go with another FCD this year. It is tempting to move forward now since this is another collection goal that I want to complete more than I want other projects. But the cost of doing it now versus later might not be worth the trade off of crossing it off my list.

3. Can’t say for sure that I want to reset the asscher more than I want other things. It’s only January though.

Wow. That was fast and just in time for the lunar New year. And early happy birthday to you too DK.

I'm a sucker for bezels and the setting inspiration is divine. I can see why you're drawn to it. Bezels bezels bezels haha. Can't wait for you to reset your ring.

Haha yes it's only January so plenty of time to ponder. I'm sure you could get 1 & 3 done relatively easily. #2 might take a bit more time.
 
@dk168 happy birthday to you! What a fabulous ring to celebrate.


I thought I wanted a lab OEC, but then I impulse bought an interesting diamond offered at a good price. I must be nuts to have it shipped straight to Caysie without checking it in person first. I’ll share the results of it in March and y’all can decide if I made a good or bad call then!
