HI:

-12C here and snow. So I REALLY enjoyed these pictures!! I want to have a crab snack!

cheers--Sharon

 

[retrogamer]

wow! Did you ladies buy anything?? Or run away with goods?

 

[Mayk]

I didn't buy anything. I was just there to lust....

 

[bbziggy]

Ahh the stone crabs look yummy! Oh and the jewelry too!

 

[bbziggy]

Hi MayK,
Does Grace have a booth at the show? Looks like you have been having fun with all of the beautiful bling! Wonder if I have passed you several times at the show. I will be heading back tomorrow again.

No booth. It's a buying trip for her. She worked all day and we caught up with her at the end of the day to look around together and then head out to dinner. ROL and I terrorized the vendors.

Thanks MayK . Hope you enjoyed! It is fun but exhausting to see it all. Here is another picture of a piece I thought was fun.

Thank you MayK, bbziggy and Resonance.Of.Life for all those fabulous pictures!! I have been in the house all day due to an ice/snow storm and this truly brought a smile to my face. LOVE all the pieces you all posted.. including the crab legs!

Every piece is absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing.

Bumped into Grace. Actually knocked her in the head and made the great escape. Still running.

I'll give you my address and you can hide out here...she'll never find you...

I saw that antique heart diamond ring Grace posted on IG/FB. Oh my gosh I was all a flutter when I saw it, and I am not even a heart stone lover. I so hope we get to see that one around these parts more soon.

I may need to make this a girls trip next year to attend. How fun!

 

[bbziggy]

Well today I'm too tired to go back! 4 days of eye candy was way to much fun! My feet and back are paying for it now. I really did have a great time chatting with some of the dealers and trying on some beautiful things and also some rediculous pieces. Who would wear a 60 ct ring of anything??? How about the gynormous star sapphire? Crazy right! The last piece is my purchase this year. It is a very sweet platinum pearl and oec chain. About 2ctw diamonds from about 1910. Last year I did more damage so I was good this year. Didn't get diamond studs. I think I want MRB for my ears even though the OEC ones are beautiful. Most of the matched pairs of OEC diamonds that I saw were uncerted and I'm not educated enough to buy like that on such an expensive purchase. I would rather know what I'm buying. Everything looks good when they have all of the bright lights on them so I'll wait to choose my stones. Maybe next year I will be able to meet some of you at the show. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

[sweet_blossom]

Great eye candy in this thread.

bbziggy, lovely necklace.

 

[JewelFreak]

What gorgeous pieces -- and thanks so much for posting the photos! At least some vicarious drooling is better than none. I don't know what I like best, all so beautiful. Good buy, bbziggy! You'll look super wearing that pretty thing.

P.S. Nothing better than Joe's! Yummmm.

 

[Calliecake]

Bbziggy, Your new necklace is beautiful and it looks gorgeous on you! I definitely want to try to attend this show next year. This show seems like a dream come true. Thank you so much for taking the time to post pictures. Do you plan on attending next year?

MayK, Thank you posting pictures from the show. It sounds like you had a wonderful time!

 

[bbziggy]

sweet-blossom... Thank you!

JewelFreak... Thanksyou so much for your kind words and glad you liked the photos!

Calliecake...Thank you so much for all of the compliments and kind words as well! and yes I will go again next year if all goes well. I live in Miami so no great distance to travel. I have been going every year since I was very young and would go with my mom until she passed away. That is where my jewelry obsession began so long ago. Made it through 4 days this year. Today was a no go since my feet and back were not willing to do it again If you decide to go next year let me know. I'll try to post the dates for the next 2016 show when I find them.
