Please help me find a beautiful piece of jewelry to purchase...

[pearaffair]

For one, I'd love to see your pearls.

I wore my pearls yesterday. With my sweatshirt and went no where.

I love the way pearls feel to wear

 

[RosieR]

Yasss I second this suggestion @RosieR. And @winnietucker no such thing as threadjacking in threads I start. I love all and any directions they go in so feel free to post anything you want.

No thread as the ring has technically been seen before. Please see page 11 of show me your solitaires in smtb

 

[RosieR]

Don’t want to thread jack but any chance you plan to make a SMTB post? I’d love to see this!

Beautiful and yes please may we see more photos of your EW rings?

No need for a new thread for a ring that’s already been seen on the forum. Please see pg 11 of ‘show me your solitaires please’ thread on smtb

Lol just stumbled on your post there! I still think a thread for it would be amazing. Seriously, such a beautiful ring!

Thank you dear Daisy.
I can only hope to grow old as with much grace and elegance as the Queen.

Thank you Missy
Us loyal subjects get all warm and tingly when a foreigner compliments our Queen so genuinely

This is a fun game! @missy I like big stones too - I would think you could get a pretty good sized champagne diamond with your budget?? I'm picturing a champagne emerald cut or maybe an elongated cushion cut in a solitaire setting so that you are getting something different than your fabulous OEC...

My other pick would be to do one of those moi et toi rings with different cuts; something like this vintage asscher from Grace + a little antique pear

2.31ct Vintage Asscher Cut Diamond, GIA K VS1

One of the prettiest step diamonds we have in this size range - I just love everything about this stone! The faceting is nice and crisp, with those parallel facets picking up all the rainbow colors from its surroundings. Gorgeous, ever so slightly elongated shape which would lend itself to a...

Hi @missy ! Would you consider a VCA piece? I was just reading a fascinating article about Grace Kelly and her relationship with Cartier and VCA. I think VCA could be a fun choice to explore... Fun because they have so many classic/transcend time and place pieces. I can easily see you wearing an Alhambra diamond bracelet or a Frivole diamond necklace.

Not sure if they are still available, but I have drooled over these rose cut dangle earrings from Alex Park for over a year.

Oh my. Ok, I change my vote to these.

These are gorgeous!

She sold that before she shared it on IG. Delish! Thanks

Last I checked this ring is available!

In her post she writes it sold immediately when she posted it in her stories. Did the person return it? Or is it still sold? I only see she wrote it sold immediately in her stories...

She had a story two days ago that it was still available. I chatted with her about it then. And another post on 11/21 saying it was available. Worth asking if you're interested!

[diamondseeker2006]

I missed this thread, Missy, but it sounds like to me the only thing you really desire are the large OEC earrings, and for good reason! I'd say the runner up might be a fabulous sapphire and diamond ring, just because it's such a classic and would fit well in your collection.

 

[MamaBee]

No I don't think so. I don't have anything I would want to sell right now. Good suggestion though. Hmmm wait, I would consider selling Gracie or Oliver...

JK!
I think.

No you wouldn’t!

@missy are these too small? A little above budget but perhaps negotiable?

Hey @missy

I know you aren't looking for brooches, but I saw these today and thought of you and you love of kitties.

 

[MRBXXXFVVS1]

@missy Did you ever get the tennis necklace? I was thinking about this and came to the conclusion that if I were in your shoes, I would wait until I found something I really wanted, or save up for the dream drop earrings!!

I decided I am not a necklace person and by waiting all this time I have more funds I can play with for my dream bling piece. But I still am not sure what I want. I mean I sort of know but I do not want to do custom as I have never had a successful custom piece. I want (I think) something just like Grace's Thelma and Louise earrings but within my budget so I am waiting and looking and waiting and looking and it doesn't suck. I love the anticipation and the search. I would love to find these earrings sooner vs later but being realistic I think I will have to be patient. Thanks for asking and I hope all your bling dreams are being realized.


For those who don't know may I present Thelma and Louise. Swoon!



Sorry for the blurriness. I took it from a video.

Gorgeous but over the budget sadly. Thanks @JPie

Haha great minds! Yesterday I found these and showed them to my DH. He was like get it if I love them. I like them but don't love them.

I am seriously in love with a pair from another vendor that is more than double my budget. Greg said if I really love those earrings I should get them if I think they would satiate me. The problem is I don't know if they would satiate me. I am very stressed and anxious about my DH's health and might just be buying something to try easing that anxiety. That is no bueno because ultimately that won't alleviate any anxiety and might add to it. T spend over 30K (34K) on earrings when I have so many earrings I already adore seems crazy and wasteful and ludicrous so I am not doing anything right now. I am waiting and watching.

I feel comfortable spending my budget and not more than double my budget even though my DH gave me the go ahead. I am not ready to do that.

Thanks for all the suggestions and please keep sharing any ideas. All are much appreciated! You never know when something will strike me as I must have it.

No worries! Please post anything you think I might love even if it is over budget. If it is the right piece I might be tempted to go over budget.

How about...you save up, maybe sell a few pieces that you aren't wearing, don't want to pass on, and reach out to the seller of those earrings. They know the buyer and maybe, just maybe (like bubbalah) they may be interested in selling them. People change their minds all the time (heck, we see it here frequently). If the buyer knows someone is interested, that might be all it takes.

Orrrrr, reach out to that Adam dude at OWD everyone talks about and set the criteria. Could take a while but you could start the ball rolling?

All of the jewellery suggestions are beautiful but after seeing those earrings and watching your style, I think you'll still be wanting them if you purchase a different piece. Save those funds and get the dang earrings.
