I love ippolita bangles. They sometimes can feel a bit flimsy though
I see you were looking at estate pieces again! I had wondered if I was going to be directed to something you found on Betteridge. (If it were Buccellati, it would probably gnaw at me.) Very nice, finished look to the pieces you posted, Sharon.
In the "high karat gold" category....
My new ring. My final big jewelry purchase. I have all I need now. I decided to go out with a bang at least.
Designer is Valerie Naifeh, who has a master jeweler she works with who executes all her high karat w/granulation designs.
It's an unheated 2.58 carat "violetish-blue" sapphire from Finewater Gems, with a couple of 10-pointers, all in yummy 22K gold with granulation. I do love me my granulation. Mmmm!No hand shots because my hands are not worthy, but it's a right hand 3rd finger at size 5.75, and covers that finger entirely.
Enjoy!

I looked for this thread after the upgrade and found it through the search function. Thank goodness it is still here!
