Lightbox closeout

Hi Pricescope! Long time, no chat, but I couldn’t resist popping in to see if anyone’s shopping/watching the Lightbox closeout sales. I have my popcorn ready, please share your purchases and opinions!

I bought the enamel drop earrings in green on the first day of the sale but they haven't arrived yet!

Ok so I got the green version of these and they arrived today - very cute, seem nicely made, very sparkly.

So I went back to the website planning to order the 4 ct version of these but I put them in my cart then went to check out and they were poof gone just like that, so I ordered the 2 ct version. It's a shame these aren't hoops, though! But I checked out a few places to try to comparison shop and nobody else had the exact thing I want either, and all the "kind of right" things were pricier.

I like those enamel earrings! I’ve been watching the site and it does seem like things are getting snapped up. I was tempted to get something but I haven’t really been wearing the jewelry I have these days. Fun to watch from the sidelines though.

I bought the 2 carat solitaire pendant. I have always wondered if I'd actually wear one and the price was good. If I don't wear it as is, I can always repurpose the stone and scrap the setting.

My daily wear pendant is a 2 ct from Lightbox back from when they introduced 2 cts! But it was set by David Klass because at that time they didn't have set ones. I really wanted a 2 ct pendant because I saw someone at a PS meetup with one and I was obsessssssed with the size.

I received the necklace and it's very nice! I think I will wear it. I was able to snag a few loose stones. I bought a 1 CT pink for $100 I think and a 2 CT colorless for under $200. The pink is to be put away for my mom for a gift, assuming it's actually pink. I think she'd like it.

They restocked. Some loose stones. I picked up 2 of the 2 carat rounds to make studs. $200 each for the I-J color, which is what I bought. I prefer that range over D-F.

I bought early on in the sale but just popped onto PS and saw this thread.
I got a 2 carat necklace for myself and a 1 ct for my oldest daughter & 2 ctw stud earrings for her as well. She is a rising senior in HS so one will be for her 18th bday and the other will be HS grad gift.
Here are the 2 necklaces side by side

I saw this just now, truly an end of an era. It is fascinating to have been part of that. Interesting to see what the future holds re LGD.
