Impulse purchase

[whitewave]

So at 3:30 am, I was all hopped up on pain pills (threw my back out) and I made a completely impulsive purchase that I thought about for a full 30 seconds before I hit the buy button.

Opinions? It wasn't cheap. They do take returns, thank goodness.

I was drawn to the color.

I love it! Sapphires cut in roundelle have a really nice life to them and the various shades go so well with so much.

It must be the season, I just bought a stickpin ring conversion from a PS member with about 10 seconds thought.

It has only been on etsy for 2 days. The color caught my eye and I was like "done"... we shall see! I told DH he was covered for my Christmas present

Very pretty! I’ve seen necklaces like these with apatite, tourmaline or spinel at gem shows.

Do you have any idea How much they run? I paid $350 For this one

OMG! From Austria? I live there, but never came across this Seller on Etsy! Would you mind telling the shops name?

 

[whitewave]

Sure! https://www.etsy.com/shop/ElstarDesign?ref=s2-header-shopname @dkata

Thank you whitewave!

I hadn't heard about them before early this morning-- cool stuff!

It's beautiful!!! Enjoy! I think the shades of blue are gorgeous!

Haha I've been eyeing off a similar necklace from Yvonne but with emerald beads.

Unfortunately I do not have one. The vendor was selling them for $100. I would imagine that sapphires would have been more expensive, but she didn’t have any.

That's a pretty necklace, might have been an impulse but a great one. Enjoy it!

I forgot to write: it’s a nice necklace! Please, post neckshots when you got it!

Very pretty! I haven't seen many like this with sapphires. $350 is probably not unreasonable, considering that it is sapphire (and nice transparent pieces by the look of it).

You know I will

Thanks, everyone. I can't wait for it to get here!!! Blue is my favorite color and I have blue eyes and sapphires are my birthstone-- so I'm thinking this is all going to work out

I've seen necklaces like that in person but haven't bought any. Mineral miners use to have some (eta looks like they just have pink)

Very tempted by their emerald necklace but really can't spend money on jewels right now

Omg the green is calling out to me.

Are they decent to deal with?

Putting aside my extreme fondness for pink...how awesome would the pink and the blue that Whitewave bought look layered?

Someone should seriously just buy that pink necklace nd take the temptation away!

Yes I purchased a number of things from them, and the couple things I returned, they were cool about that too.

I think it looks GREAT! I bet it's something you could wear it all the time. I love blues.

ETA: Give us a review when you get it, I just favorited a few of their items.

I sure will!!

I love it! The sparkle makes it-- like other sapphires, it changes color in different lighting.

I was able to wear it tonight to a wedding. The photo does it no justice

Maybe you can see a bit of sparkle in this pic:

I'm at a jewelry appraiser right now so I can't do this at the moment, but I want to take this necklace outside to see if I can find this color from the ad.

Even if I can't, I'm still keeping it as I already wore it and I do like it.

It would have been completely FAB if it was this cornflower blue as in the listing. So far, I haven't seen that color yet.

But as I mentioned it, I do like the necklace and I think it would look great with a button down shirt etc.
