Christmas PS Bling 2007!

[mellyjm]

My DH gave me a US and 0.75ctw martini diamond studs. I was so thrilled, and the size was perfect for my earlobes! I already cleaned every piece of jewelry I own, and DH cleaned his watch and his wedding ring. I think he was having more fun than me! We are leaving out of town tomorrow, so no pics until I get back. I hope other PS''ers get diamond gifts also!

oophs, wrong picture, here is the ring. I also got that pendant to go with it though.

Butterfly - is that the ritani that your eng. stone was set in? I remember you said you are planning to get another setting. . .

Hey MC,

No, that is a new ring. I decided that rather than buyng a new setting, I would just get a whole new ring.

This Christmas is all about ART - oil paintings and sculpture. I let you know if I can squeak in something blingy though!

 

[marcy]

Wow, you guys have some gorgeous stuff. I have been wearing my upgraded studs already. I got a pair of .75 diamond studs and a pair of .90 sapphire studs which I swapped my husband''s new PS3 and games to get early. I am getting a green sapphire RHR for Christmas but haven''t been able to offer up enough in trade to get that early. Rats. Sorry, I don''t have any pictures of my stuff yet.

I got my Christmas present early this year. I have been looking for nice affordable emerald earrings for a long time. Finally found a pair of emerald dangling earrings that I really like. The emeralds are Columbian, ~4 carats total weight. The total weight of the diamonds, round, ovals and pears are ~3 carats. I cannnot capture the true color of the emeralds. This is the best I can get with my camera.

Here is my Christmas present. My husband purchased me the band and then a good camera to take pictures of it for all of you! It is 1 ct G-H color Ideal cut in white gold. Enjoy

Beautiful stuff ladies!!

However, I wonder if there is an alterior motive to this thread ~ i seem to remember that Mara sometimes starts threads as lead ups to her new purchases

Recall the "Show me your J''s in platinum'' thread?

So Mara - SPILL IT

 

[Diamond*Dana]

Gorgeous, all of them!

No bling here, I got a new handbag

I absolutely third this - she''s been not so subtle in a few threads recently that she may or may not be up to something.

We should start a thread speculating on what it could possibly be. . .

AN - Those earrings are to die for!

 

[justageek]

I''ve been struck speechless.

After the most stressful 6 months of my life (daughter diagnosed with cancer, taking 5 classes, working), I rewarded myself with a Signed Pieces early Christmas gift. This is the 9 stone platinum shared prong band. It was supposed to be .90, but as made is actually .99. Hooray for SP!

 

[MaryAlaina]

With my WF Tiffany repro solitaire.

 

[Mara]

you gals are so suspicious!! i just want to see the xmas bling.

love all the pictures...! keep them coming ladies...i''m sure there''s more bling to be seen. only a few more days til xmas.

 

[door knob solitaire]

Great MA!!! Glad you got a band. We all know you needed one! (I really mean that-it does sound as if you have had a whopper of stress this year.) Thanks for sharing. It is a beauty! §

(how did the appetizers turn out? Will return to that thread for an update)

 

[Skippy123]

Here is my Christmas/birthday bling (since I am a Dec baby); here is the art deco 5.50 carats of oec diamonds; the 3 larger stones are .50 each.

Art Nouveau and Viv, WOW!!!!!

 

[DiamanteBlu]

You ladies are blinding me with all the spectacular sparkle!!!

 

[E B]

I just picked up my bezel pendant from having something adjusted and spied some gorgeous sparkly stud earrings in various sizes in a case. The woman took them out for me to look at and proceeded to calculate AMAZING prices for each pair.

Must. not. buy.

Yet.

Art Nouveau - WOW!!! Those are spectacular earrings! Where do you plan to wear them? (Earrings like those would only arrive to me in my dreams, lol, and my life is so dull, I''d be wearing them to the grocery store! lol)

 

[MichelleCarmen]

Skippy - have you posted a picture of you wearing your broach? I''d love to see it on you to get an idea of size and how it looks!

Michelle and Old Fashioned Girl, thank you very much. I do not have a pic of me wearing it; I promise when I do wear it I will make sure to post pics.
It is 2 1/2 inches by 1 1/2 inches if that helps.

OFG, I love your collection!!!

Butterfly17, I love the sapphire!

MC, the pendant is gorgeous!


Everyone has so many beautiful pieces!!

Well, instead of double posting I''ll just add a link to my new post in case anyone is interested in the ring I''ll be proposing with during the holidays

Here she is
