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.

1. Mom’s emerald is pending!

2. Do not like the price of FCD at the moment. Scratch this idea.

3. Might still re-set the asscher this year. It would be platinum so the price of gold is less relevant. But I have two projects started and with the tariff stuff going on, I might not get to this one.

Here’s mine:
1. Eternity band to go with my sapphire ring.
2. Upgrade the ACA - new setting matches the thickness of the sapphire ring so it can go with the eternity ring too.
3. 5 stone band
4. Yellow step cut sapphire ring.

I’ve been wanting a curb chain and I just bought one - waiting for it to come in to make sure it’s actually what I want because I’m a little particular about them.

I also have a sapphire coming in from Dan Stair to turn into a pendant for said curb chain.

With gold prices and the abysmal CAN-US exhange rate I just can’t pull the trigger on a custom jewelry project right now… and I could never quite settle on what I wanted to do with my small stones from Yvonne.

So I changed gears for my pendant project. I have a lovely half carat diamond left from my five stone project so I decided to set that. A new Stuller setting was going to cost me $1k CAD locally so I found this gorgeous Art Nouveau 15k gold piece instead for half the price and far more presence. I bought it to replace the central amethyst with my diamond but I’m not totally sure about that yet. It’s so pretty as is… I might use the diamond and add a drop pearl… or leave it. Anyway, pendant project almost complete!
