Jewelry geek

[Lady_Disdain]

I guess I am an official jewelry geek. I absolutely adore the jewelry on Richard Wise''s page not just for the beautiful stones, contemporary design and quality craftsmanship but because there are close up shots and pictures of the back of the piece. And close up pictures of the back actually showing the hidden bales, pins and multifunctional pieces!

Drool

 

[marcy]

I am too. I am a jewelaholic and I guess I come to Pricescope for my therapy - or is that my "fix"?

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Coming to PS is the cheaper fix - most of the time.

hmmmm, sometimes I think its the other way around for me... I see so many beautiful items here that I''m thinking of the next thing on my short list. But its better than me going out to the jewelers though.

Let''s see...

On the savings side:
- Identifying reliable, good quality vendors at reasonable prices
- Knowledge on quality and pricing
- I can get a jewelry fix without going to the stores!

On the spending more side:
- beautiful projects that end up on my short list
- Enablers, enablers, enablers!

Yup, it is a tough one.

The Ice Man,

This is unrelated to the topic of jewelry, but I wanted to let you know that one of the original posters on Pricescope (although he has not posted here in a year) is a jeweler, Corey England, who uses the name Iceman on-line. In fact, he has it trademarked (which does not affect you!). I have no idea if you are aware of his existence, but since you appear (from the number of postings so far attributed to you) to be new, I thought I would let you know in case you run into confusion. Of course with all the people with "diamond" in their nicknames, we are used to confusion here .

Welcome.

[The Ice Man]

Thank you for the heads up. I will ad a few digits to it so people don''t get confused. I also don''t step on any toes!

 

[The Ice Man]

It dosn''t let me add numbers. I am sure ppl will notice that I am not him.

The Ice Man,

I suspect there are no tender toes around. Corey E. has been on-line forever and is not prone to getting offended for no reason. Nonetheless, I think that adding a few digits (or whatever) so that you stand out, is a fantastic idea! I look forward to seeing your new nick "up in lights" (so to speak).

Hugs,
AGBF

 

[The Ice Man]

It won''t let me add on to my name. I only used it originally because that''s what everyone calls me because of the type of watches I wear. I tend to get a little ridiculous when it comes to ADDING DIAMONDS!

Hmmm. I wonder if we have a "watchman" on Pricescope? ("The Watchman" sounds like a sexy name to me.) You are making me giggle! A very big welcome to PS!!! Do you wear any other jewelry besides watches?

AGBF

 

[The Ice Man]

Lol. I do wear other pieces as well but not on a daily basis. I prefer watches. They fit in any situation. I wear a 5 and a half Carat round SI2 F colored ring, my sunglasses are getting iced out now and will be done in a week, I have several diamond chains etc. I love diamonds and buy hard! Thank you for the welcoming. What do you wear?

 

[The Ice Man]

Here are some of my watches. What do you think? Are you into things like this? I know that people on here will probably think I am a little nuts for my collection but I feel I have some nice pieces.

 

[The Ice Man]

That Breitling on the right, the bezel is constructed of 75 pointers!

Hey Iceman,
Is that middle timepiece an Alain Silberstein?Fun stuff!What is the other iced out watch!We really need to see the 5 carat round brilliant!Tell us about its history!

 

[The Ice Man]

The one in the middle is a Jacob&Co with a 5 CT stock Jacob bezel.The bezel comes stock as VS1 F colored. I will snap a shot of the 5 and a half CT ring in the morning. It is a GIA 5.48 CT SI2 F Colored,Polish Good, Flour none, Sym 68%, etc. I have it set in a simple gold mount. I wear it as a pinky ring on occasions. I have a lot of other loose stones that I purchased as an investment as well as gold bars. Their are tow things in my opinion you can never lose on if you have patience and a little money, gold and watches if you buy them right.

 

[The Ice Man]

The other two watches are Breitlings. The one on the right has 75 pointers in the bezel and apx 17 CTS TW on the band and case. The other one is a simple Breiting with 8.35 CTS on the bezel and appz 12 cts on the case and band. All diamonds in my watches are VVS-2 - VS1 f colored.

 

[The Ice Man]

Here is another round I have loose. SI2 75% SYM G colored 3.43 CT TW.

Beautiful!Looking foward to seeing your 5 carat diamond ring or chains.I have a 6mm three-in-one link yellow gold chain that ive been thinking about having iced out on the front links some day.

 

[The Ice Man]

The chain idea sounds nice. I am into things like that.
