Mrs-B's whole curated collection...(more or less...)

[Catmom]

Love those opal earrings!!!

 

[HollyC]

@mrs-b i have loved reading this thread. Your style and grace shines through your beautifully curated jewels. May you wear them with health and happiness.

 

[mrs-b]

Thank you so much, @MRBXXXFVVS1, @Catmom and @HollyC. The collection continues....

 

[mrs-b]

So we're one step closer to finishing the project that lasts forever. Here's the most recent photos of my enamel charm bracelet before it goes back to DKJ yet again for tweaking.





And here's one of my 1.5ctw OEC studs with their Sea of Cortez pearl jackets.



And lastly - my Vietnamese baroque big blue, with cushion cut ruby and antique pave heart, all in white gold:

Your purple spinel ring is lovely. The rose gold is a perfect choice with the color of the gemstone.

 

[collier]

Love your whole collection! But the sea of Cortez pearl jackets sing to me. I'd love to see hand shots of your new spinel and ear shots with the pearl drops.

 

[Girlfriday17]

Love those opal earrings!!!

Me too!

 

[mrs-b]

Thank you, @RunningwithScissors, @collier and @Girlfriday17.

Collier - here are photos of me wearing the pearls and diamonds earrings - I really love them and they're a very convenient size.





Here's one of the spinel on my hand, taken before I had the band changed. I don't have any of the current iteration on my hand at this point, sorry.

 

[katbran]

Oh wow ! Those opal earrings .....they are stunning !!

Hi @lambskin -

I only just saw this - sorry! I have green cushions. Sounds kinda loud, I know, but it looks awesome.

I thought about your red wrought iron furniture when you were talking about decorating your front porch for Christmas and thought som holiday themed cushions would be adorable. Can’t wait to see what fabric you select. I want to paint my wrought iron either red or a royal blue.

Those enameled charms are very special & unique but, your OEC & pearl earrings are what dreams are made of! Please never change these as they couldn't get any closer to perfection!

 

[DorotheaBrooke]

Happy to see an update! I love the spinel ring even more with the new band.

 

[Ally T]

Love the new additions!

But man alive, I REA.LY love that ruby & pearl pendant...

How long is the chain? Can we see a modelling shot? Pretty please??!
(And also, you a disappearing before our very eyes & you look fabulous for it!)

Ohh I love the purple spinel ring! What a beautiful color

Hi @Alex T!

There's a photo of it on here somewhere from when I got it. I think it's a lovely piece - very unusual and with lots of character. Now all I need is matching earrings. And a tiara. And, of course, a scepter.....

Of all people, you definitely deserve a tiara & scepter! Tell lovely Tim that it's an absolute MUST you have a full set, earrings included!

I shall hunt through for the picture, though I must have already seen it as I've stalked this thread many, many, many times

I hope your health is bearing up ok as we enter another shitty year & keep smiling

 

[Ally T]

OK, I've been through again a couple of times & there isn't a photo in this thread of you wearing your pearl pendant. Will go check out your other threads later this evening. Be sure I'll find it!!

Sorry, @Alex T - I should have said - it's in the thread I started when I got it. Crohn's is bad today or I'd find it for you. My apologies.

 

[mrs-b]

@Alex T - this is them. It's under *this* thread:

Spinel, diamonds, blue pearl, upgrades, remakes....three lovely projects now finished!

Project 1 of 3. Well, I ummed and ahhed for literally years about upgrading the center stone in my three stone. In the end, I decided another $12k for .15mm was just nutty. So...I replaced the sides with something a little larger. I stayed with super ideal cuts, F color, VS2, and went from...

Thank you! I actually found this thread - we must have cross posted!

However, there can never be too many pictures of this necklace (and I commented on it in your other thread too! You with your Crohns (hope it's not too bad for you & eases up soon) & me with my perimenopause brain fog. What a team )

You could definitely make smaller earrings for this. They would make stunning a set.

 

[LightBright]

You are my bling hero. Thank you for sharing your amazing collection.

 

[Dmndsr4evr11]

Beautiful collection, @mrs-b.

 

[lulu_ma]

Wonderful additions @mrs-b-especially the opal earrings!

 

[mrs-b]

Thank you, @Alex T, @lulu_ma, @LightBright and @Dmndsr4evr11 - I'm glad you enjoy it. I'll keep adding pieces as I get new things from time to time, so it's all in the one place. When I'm done, I'll re photograph everything and see where I landed. Whew!

 

[e2the3rd]

@mrs-b I love this post and all of your beautiful pieces. My personal top favorites are your bangles and that glorious opal ring. I saw another thread where you said you’d never part with the opal ring and I was so relieved!

Also, you are so beautiful and look like you could be my mother’s sister! I’m going to have to post a picture of my mom, I’m so curious if you will see a resemblance

@e2the3rd - just before we go down this road, do tell me your mother isn't 75....



And I'm so glad you like my opal ring. I *am* going to reset it, tho, because I want it to go with my new opal earrings. So I'm resetting it in 18kt rose gold - same setting, just rose gold. It really is one of the most glorious opals I've ever seen. That ORGANGE!!

Spat my coffee out!

 

[missy]

Spat my coffee out!

Me too

And I can testify to the fact that @mrs-b is as beautiful inside as out.
