Hi EVERYONE!!
Wow, it''s been so long since I last posted here. I see some familiar faces, and many new ones too.
Just an update for anyone who remembers me......I''ve been keeping myself very busy at my new firm, which has largely kept me from posting. My husband and I are also expecting our first child in February. The doctor said it''s a girl. The first thing I thought of was how fun it would be to have a daughter to share a love of diamonds with! ha ha ha! I''m already eye-ing some of my pieces and thinking about when I''ll give them to her.
In the meantime, my collection has grown VERY slowly. As you can guess, my priorities are more geared towards the baby than my jewelry collection. I did buy a set of Mikimoto AAA pearls in 7.5-8 mm. They are just amazing. I also FINALLY bought the Tiffany Etoile necklace in yellow gold to match the ring I wear on my right hand. Other than that, not too many purchases to speak of. I do love jewelry, but I don''t actually wear too much. The pieces that I do wear tend to be very simple and small.
So........I also have a question for you folks. I saw a pair of tiny, tiny studs at Tiffany. They were selling for a pretty ridiculous price, so I wanted to get a pair from Whiteflash instead. I''m talking SUPER tiny, folks......maybe .12 or so in each ear or a total carat weight of .25-.30. I just fell in love with this tiny size. They are just sooooooo adorable, I think they''d be really cute for everyday wear. I can pop them in and not worry about them. I figure they''d be perfect for my upcoming maternity leave. You can see a sample at the Tiffany website under their "Diamonds by the Yard" collection. The ones I saw were bezel set, but it doesn''t look like whiteflash offers bezel set earrings. (Please correct me if I''m wrong).
Has anyone seen prongs on such a tiny size? If so, do the prongs look ridiculously gigantic against the actual stone? I want it to look like a little, tiny drop of sparkle on my ear, so I wouldn''t want the prongs to be too obvious.
Thanks everyone!
