New Members of the Menagerie - Part 1

[Catmom]

I have to say, Mr. Catmom has been very generous with the birthday jewel budget. I got my vintage opal pendant early and last week I got the vintage opal earrings that match my vintage opal brooch. Then we happened to make a trip to Sanibel and found another creature which will be part two of this saga. Of course as luck would have it, after all that I spotted another creature that just captivated me. One of those OHHHHHH MUST BE MINE!!!!!!! moments. I felt really bad but I didn't want to pass him up so I agreed that he would be my Christmas present and as of now he is safely resting in the safe until then[ha, we'll see how long that lasts]. I know he's not to everyone's taste but to me he's a very dashing, fun fellow and I just love him. He's 18kt and silver with 7.10cts of opal, a sash of diamonds at .28cts and two ruby cabochon eyes. I've been told I'm going to have to start a sea creature subset to the menagerie lol. Here he is in all his dapper glory.....

I love your collection @Catmom ! Always makes me smile. If your new octopus has a play date with your other animals, can we pls have some pics of them together?

Oh I just know I'm going to be drooling

 

[KristyDarling]

Absolutely amazing! Such a special piece! We just watched "My Octopus Teacher" and learned all kinds of crazy facts about octopuses. They are remarkable creatures.

 

[yssie]

H*ly F*** that’s gorgeous

The opals, the colours, the waviness - he looks a bit cheeky, doesn’t he? Waving us all closer?

One of those OHHHHHH MUST BE MINE!!!!!!! moments.

This. Totally this. I completely see why. You’d have regretted passing. I’m sure of it. Sometimes they just grab your heart - I’ve learnt to listen, when they do that, those purchases are never my regrets

Cannot WAIT for whatever Part 2 will be!

OMG I LOVE THIS!!!!!!! You found such an awesome piece.

I'm a sea creature person so this is right up my alley! I'm totally in love with Mr. Octopus! Now, what are you going to name him? This jolly chap needs a name!
