[Love in Bloom]

You guys are great! It''s so wonderful to have a place to share my jewelry obsessions, my pictures, and my fondness of decorating trims...LOL!

Linda W- Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Eva17- What a lovely set of pups in your avatar! And thanks!

SanDiegoLady- Oh my stars? I’m over the moon you said that about my set!!

coatimundi- I do think VC and tassels are a match made in heaven! Thanks again about my pictures; I’m glad I could share

Kelli- Hello there fellow July baby! I think a ruby for us is a must. There’s just something about a good ruby that no other red stone can match. And I’m all for mixing metal colors now too; my heart pendant totally started that!

arjunajane- Yup and thanks! The gold band is also by Van Craeynest. Here is a link to that one: Heirloom Stacking . Sometimes I think I might need help for my VC obsession

, but then I realize I just need more jewelry!

Skippy123- Hi, I’m doing alright…It’s summertime, and the living is easy! I revisited your favorite things about summer thread. It totally warms my heart

marcyc – Many thanks. I happen to think so too!

October2008bride – Thank you, more to come later!

vita*dolce – Ya know, you’re right…they are quriky and fun. I know it’s weird to have little fetishes like this with tassles. But they’re so fun to play with, and they tickle my fancy almost as much as my rings do!

bling_addict – Thank you as always about my collection, you are awesome!

Catmom – You’re a dear! Thanks so much

mercoledi – Hehe, yum indeed! I was worried a red ruby would not be a versatile piece. I was so wrong and am glad I can show it off here

MMT – You are welcome, thanks for looking!

LiB,
Your new pics make me want to go out and buy some VC, tassels and a new camera! Your collection is magnificent and so engaging to look at. Thank you for sharing your eye candy!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Love your pics, your rings are just gorgeous!

 

[AnitaT]

Hiya LiB,

These are fun pictures! Wonderful pieces! But, you know I am a complete VC fan.

Lately, I have been starting to think about a VC pendant...

 

[iheartscience]

Great photos, LiB! Your rings are all gorgeous!

But now I''m curious-what do you do with your tassels? Do you have them displayed somewhere?

 

[loriken214]

Cool photos.....love them!!!!

Lori

 

[singingbell]

LIB -- thank you for sharing these fantastic pictures! Each and every single piece of your Van Craeynest jewelry is exquisite, but the rings you showcased in this thread are my particular favorites! I keep coming back to stare and admire...

 

[Love in Bloom]

Well, you all certainly know how to make me smile!

pixley - LOL, if I were stuck on an island...VC, tassels, and my husband would be the three things I would want to have with me! Though for the sake of civility, not necessarily in that order...

LaurenThePartier - Thanks for looking Lauren, I so love looking at your gallery pics!

AnitaT - Hooray for VC fans! Oooh a pendant sounds yummy. What are you thinking about? A specific style or perhaps going custom? You make me want to get some new shots of my heart

loriken214 - Thank you lady! Any news on the bezel front?

singingbell - You are so sweet, you''re making me blush! Thanks and I''ll try to keep it interesting for you

Great photos, LiB! Your rings are all gorgeous!

But now I'm curious-what do you do with your tassels? Do you have them displayed somewhere?

I do have some tassels around the house on lamp pulls, curtain ties, pillows, etc.

Does my tushy count? I wear the black ones on the back pockets of my jeans sometimes (I attach the tassel loop to the tack buttons). They are suble with darker jeans and I like the way they look. Here's a pic of a red tassel with my earrings. I've never worn red tassels on my butt in public; it might be a little too naughty for me! This one is not as bright as the tassel in my ring pictures, but it does move gracefully:

Continuing the tassel theme...

I LOVE the sides of Van Crayenest styles

 

[Love in Bloom]

Makes them look like some weird tassle creature with eyes, but my earrings were getting jealous

 

[Love in Bloom]

This is for SDL...

 

[Love in Bloom]

And a group shot

 

[angeline]

LiB these shots are magnificent! So crisp, I feel like I could reach out and touch them! Probably good I can''t because I''d make off with all your rings (and tassels) before you could say ''Oh my stars!''

big sigh...

 

[Diamond*Dana]

What lovely pictures LIB!

 

[geckodani]

Beautiful and fun!

I love your wedding set!

 

[akmiss]

I just L

VE your entire collection!

The ruby ring is magnificent! Thanks for having such delicious fetishes!

Keep on posting

Hello! Honestly, I am not sure. I really like how delicate and feminine D61 looks. Was it this thread or the other one where someone mentioned loving VC''s metalwork? Well, I completely agree.

I think Larry et al are extremely talented and make stones pop with the piercing, chasing, and TLC they pour on their pieces.

Has anyone seen D61 in real life?

I also D32. Metstuff has one in yellow gold and it is beautiful. If anyone visits Larry, please keep an eye out on pendants for me.
