OK girls I think I’m insane! Or at least treading in that territory.
There’s to be a pop up in Thailand and I briefly, very briefly considered begging my jeweller to go and try to buy me a Mokoko. I didn’t cuz it’s not as simple as them going there to pick up a doll (will be carnage there) but I did consider it……..
I want to know when we're going to see the juggling clown...
@Autumn in New England Juggling Clown has arrived!!!!
So to make a long story short, Pop Mart are nasty ba$tards who decided to release a range of clowns with super random characters and one adorable labubu. Thing is they are all blind boxes so you either spend $400 aud on an entire set or you keep pulling blind boxes and God knows how many you need to buy until you get your clown. Maybe you won’t get the clown at all! Then there are all the scalpers who are out trying to get the clown to resell at exorbitant prices.
I pondered my options for a while and in the end decided to go the “lab diamond” route and buy a high quality lafufu on AliExpress.
She’s absolutely adorable and apart from a few minor details that you can pick on to separate her from the real thing, she’s absolutely superb!!!
They took a while to recreate her. I remember messaging them the day juggling clown dropped and they were like: We’re still designing the clown, it takes time!

Fun thread! I am toying with setting my purple garnet in a toi et moi with my green zoisite. However, zoisite is soft and overall fragile, and I definitely want the garnet in a ring. Maybe a deep-set bezel for max protection. They are approx the same length which is why I thought of it. Might not go along with it though.
Included are a couple AI visualizations.
While I will only meet and chat with my jeweler in a couple weeks... after brainstorming more, I am concerned the design will be too clunky. It can probably be improved with a cleverer design than those I have brainstormed.
An alternative that keeps the purple green color combo is the garnet with my Torrington.
It is more subtle and lets the purple shine more. Or I may go purple solitaire.But all options are on the table at the moment.

I haven't thought that far ahead regarding finger
Pinky ring is interesting, and bold for such a large stone (9.5mm ish). I will hopefully remember to ask the jeweler about it as an option because I think it could work. On that topic, ever since I saw Yoram's pinky rings years ago I've been kind of obsessed with his design.

My logic for having 2 stones in the setting is simple: I am already paying for a setting, I may as well stuff as much as I can in it otherwise stones will continue sitting in a box lol. But honestly at the moment I am leaning towards solitaire. Since it is a mens ring it can be a bit bulky and maybe the Torrington can be set somewhere like this (I do not know ring anatomy very well so here's a very rough AI visualization)

Yes as usual the AI version is incorrect in small but consequential ways
