Andrew and I talked about it. I'd like to see it in person, I hope our local Tiff's has one. We may look closer to Christmas/our birthdays for December.Chewbacca|1349257730|3278529 said:Wow Madelise, a gem-shopping rampage! How sweet is the FMIL and grandma jewellery idea! SO SO SWEET. I'm with you on buying your own jewellery, why not! The ring I wear every day I bought for myself.
Audball, you should do it!
MBKRH, are you firmly in the not-bringing-it-up camp?
I can't decide if I want a solitaire pendant, or something metal. I'm imagining a YG chain as delicate as I get get away with, so I think that a metal pendant is probably the way to go, since the chain would be a fairly high break risk. Loosing a diamond = death!

But really. While I am here studying abroad, I am searching for a nice jade bangle. The unfortunate part of it is that the ones I like are the lighter green, more translucent ones, which are also more expensive. I found a beautiful one yesterday but it was around $400 US. Which in the grand scheme of nice jade bangles really isn't as expensive (I've heard of ones that cost $1000s) but I feel like I need to keep searching more in order to settle on THE ONE since you usually wear it for many years at a time since they can be difficult to put on.
Other than that, I am trying not to buy as many earrings/necklaces because I already have so many that I rotate between, same goes with silver rings (I have a spoon ring with lilies from DBF and an infinity ring that I wear)...so not much left lol. I went through a kick with a bunch of the Pandora/Troll beads for my bracelet so I have quite enough of those as well. At this point you can see I obviously have enough variety of jewelry...just need to start saving up for more of the quality stuff!!

audball, nooooo! There will be no loosing diamonds on my watch!
madelise, I love how https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-new-bgd-barbara-pendant.147715/ looks very floaty! I think a 'floating' diamond pendant would be so so pretty! Its what I was imagining for myself, if I went the diamond route. I'm not sure I'm a bezel girl though? Perhaps with milgrain?

I'm assuming the REAL purpose is to put charms on...I actually have a few but i just rotate them on the silver bead chain depending on mood. I like mico's and resonance of life's use of it better though

No, you don't need a "main" project to have a side one! The main project is, well, the e-ring anyway.. so some people aren't even involved in that one!
Have you seen any lavender jade while away?

Yesterday SO bought me a very fine YG chain for Christmas. Now I'm on the hunt for its pendant. I want a TINY diamond, preferably. Harder to find than I anticipated, its making me feel a bit manic. !!
Can't wait to see pictures!pandabee|1354499470|3320936 said:On another note, I have a possible project on the horizon: a blue colored stone RHR!! More details in a few days when I find out more about the center stone I'm looking at

Pandabee -- I LOVE IT. Have you noticed any changing in color from wearing it?

YAY! I'm glad you like it!Chewbacca|1354828054|3324718 said:Ahhhhhh, aud! I've never seen a wishbone-holder like this before! I LOVE! I have saved it to my bookmarks.
I love the matte/polished/diamond combination too.
As for my pendant (nightmare) - I am going shopping for ideas with SO on Sunday!
