If you could only have 5 pieces...

Bluegemz, your emerald ring just blew my mind! Love it.

Thank you for your kind words!

I'd have to say the things I wear the most would be my choices, but there are several vying for 5th! This is a reminder to myself that I don't need anymore jewelry, because I really do wear the things below most of the time, and the rest sits in Jewelry boxes!

1) The AVR with Tiffany Legacy band is my daily wear set (notice I am making those 1 item, lol)

2) 2.3 ctw Whiteflash ACA studs

3) I normally never take off my Roberto Coin Tiny treasures diamond cross (the only jewelry item I sleep in out of laziness), but I have a Tiffany one that I'd probably choose instead if I could only keep 5 items.

4) I think I'd have to keep my CVB antique asscher ring

5) The last place would have bracelets, watches, and right hand rings competing for the spot. I'd say my favorites at this moment would be my EC sapphire ring by CVB, Cartier watch, and VCA gold Alhambra bracelet (I wear this often due to it working with casual to somewhat dressy). I suppose something for the wrist should take this spot, so maybe the VCA bracelet. I don't wear my tennis bracelet as often. But if I had an ACA bracelet, that might overtake this spot.

The first pic is for #1, #4, and alternate #5!

My five would be as follows (pics later) -

1. Wedding ring
2. Diamond studs
3. Diamond Solitaire necklace
4. Tahitian pearls
5. DBTY bracelet (coming soon!)

My list has changed somewhat from a few yrs ago.

Now, if I could only have 5 pieces from my current collection:
1. my 4.6ctw BGD H&A studs: I wear them every single day. Sometimes, I'd wear my new-ish yellow halo studs but these BGD studs are my go-tos and I'd def keep them
2. VCA Lotus btf ring
3. Cartier ceramic WG pave Love
4. VCA Perlee Clover RG bracelet
5. Diamond solitaire ring

I wear earrings daily, and the VCA and Cartier bracelets almost daily except for the gym, and the Lotus ring for special occasions. One other item I've been coveting, which may become my everyday piece, is the VCA Frivole earrings in WG pave.. I reckon they'd get at least as much attention from me and wear as my BGD studs; they may both become my go-tos. I find I don't wear rings as much as I used to. Holly, in particular, is not being worn much these days; and I wonder if an upgrade would make me change my mind back....we shall see...at the moment, I'm just sitting on my decision and taking my own sweet time...

I guess I'm different from you, LLJsmom: I'm much more of a brand-name jewellery gal; I never actually knew this before.

Oooh that black opal, OMG!!!

Thank you Katharath!

And thank you to the posters who shared photos too! LOVE seeing everyone's beautiful bling.
Please keep it coming.

I left my wedding ring out because I consider that one part of my person, and thus a freebie. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

But for the other pieces? Here ya go.

The big black oval is actually rainbow obsidian in a handmade piece that my mother got when we livied in Alaska. I simply can't capture the sultry iridescent banding that shows up in bright light. She wore it a lot, and I remember her hand with it on. VERY sentimental. So much so, that you'll see I could not bear to modify it to fit better, and simply had them put a little temporary sizer bar on it.

Then...
My 1.5 carat diamond pendant in 22K, with 2 extras wear this bunches.

And finally my latest avatar - unheated 2.58 carat violetish-blue sapphire in 22K with diamonds

Wow, love the ring and earring!

Okay, I'll play-
1- My ACA solitaire hopefully getting it's permanent setting sooner than later from CVB
2- my BGD five diamond band in the trellis B setting
3- my Tiffany rose cut diamond butterfly pendant/necklace in rose gold
4- my David Klass revamped rose gold wedding band with princess cut diamonds
5- my roberto coin tiny treasures butterfly pendant (love love love this!)

I don't have favorite bracelets or earrings, but if I had to pick one favorite bracelet it would be my Simon G antique style bracelet and for earrings I would pick one of two Beverly K earrings I have.

This is so hard because I love my diamonds as much as I love my pearls but here it goes:

1. Solitaire & eternity - I usually wear together so see them as one item
2. RHR - gypsy set scattered band
3. Cartier Santos watch
4. Round tahitian strand and stud earrings - it's a set in my mind
5. Long strand of white ripple pearls

I didn't include my diamond studs because I'm having major DSS with them but not sure I want to upgrade at this point as the 12mm tahitian studs have been working just fine in their place.

This has been such an interesting thread. Thanks to all that shared, and especially the pictures too. I love that so many of you have your pieces that you enjoy.

 

[marcy]

What a fun thread. Great idea LLJsmom. My favorite 5 are my EC RHR, my ACA ering, my ACA studs, my Tiffany band and my Kentucky Blue Sapphire RHR.
