Single Stone at Eric Trabert May 15-16

[LLJsmom]

Ok, here we go!! (Btw, sorry I used my deformed ring finger. Ugh! Too bad you all didn't have a better hand model. Does not do justice to the rings.)

Hopefully other PSers will have pics of the other pieces. With Ari there, I didn't want to pull out every band and take a pic of each...

Ari called this Yenny's ring... (yoo-hoo! Yenny...)

 

[LLJsmom]

I loved this large OEC eternity band...

Love this rose gold band. It's squared off and looks so rosey... Just not sure what to wear it with. Doesn't really go with the diamonds...




Sorry for all the pics of the OEC band. I'm really loving it. Both the medium and the large.

Earlier in May I saw some SS pieces, too, but not nearly as much as you saw there! (Ari is coming to the store I went to in the fall, though.) They have some beautiful things, don't they?!

I love the first french cut and round band. I tried on a larger version of it, but I like this one better. Do you recall how much it was?

Agreed! I think the thinner one would be better as a stacker. BTW, what were the specs on the solitaire honker you tried on?

 

[La_Bougeotte]

beautiful thanks for sharing!

 

[lorrissey]

Harold Stevens in San Diego is now carrying Singke Stine and I was down there last weekend trying stuff on. And I fell in love with their eternity bands too!

This one was my favorite.



Sorry it is sideways. Working from my phone.

Wow! Beautiful rings! Thanks for the eye candy!

 

[sweet_blossom]

Thanks for sharing! Love that OEC band, too. I like how the milgrained bezels protect the stones--I have to be careful with a shared prong.

I think it was around $5300?? I think... I can call to ask...

Price was $38k. Not sure about specs. I assume 3+ carats cause when I tried on 2+ carats they were under $30k. Do you want me to find out?

Thanks for the info, LLJ! No,I've got too many other things on my current list to pursue anything new at the moment!

BTW, did you get to meet any other PS'ers there or pick up anything for yourself?

 

[yennyfire]

Ari called this Yenny's ring... (yoo-hoo! Yenny...)

Wow, I'm honored! And I still adore my ring....it's perfect for me! I'm so jealous that you got to meet Ari in person and play with all of those gorgeous pieces!

I don't think I saw other PSers. But one dad showed up with his 2-3 year old son. Within 5-10 minutes he had bought the SS cobblestone pendant for his wife who had just had a baby. Wow... I wish my DH would just walk into a gorgeous jewelry store and buy me a push present 2-3 days post birth...
It looked like this but bigger. So let me just say that I have seen this on the website and it never looked attractive to me. But IRL, that thing just comes ALIVE. The stones just throw off the most amazing light show. It was STUNNING.


I was very tempted by the simple engraved rose gold band but I can't figure out what to wear it with. I can see the OEC eternity being a classic piece that I can use when I don't want to wear my ering. The medium one seems to throw off more sparkles cause there are just more stones across the front. The larger one has more presence, and is twice the price. Well, at least it's not anywhere in the near future. I have other things on the list that takes priority. But planning is always good right?

Okay, I will play! I saw some this month in Charleston, SC at Croghan's Jewel Box. My favorite was the round and rectangular bands with either baguettes or french cuts. They were the same price but the french cut band was 1.9 cts and the baguette band was either 2.2 or 2.4 (I think 2.4) which shows how much you extra you pay for the french cuts. At first, I couldn't tell them apart, so it would be the kind of thing you'd be buying to appreciate for yourself because others observing wouldn't really be able to see the difference, especially on the smaller ct weight rings.

Sorry for the blurry iPhone pics!

First the baguettes:

Now the 1.9 ct french cut band:

Lots of beautiful pieces of jewelry.

Wait!!! You found your old account??

Now the 1.9 ct french cut band:

That looks bigger than 1.9.

Positive on that one. I think the baguette one was 2.4 ctw and it was a little bigger. I would love either of these, but wow, the price on the tag started with a NINE!!! (I was told that was a little negotiable.)

Well, I am way late to the party, but I have a few pics to share. Ari and Eric (the shop owner) were both fantastic and very gracious. I tried on so many things that I didn't get pictures of, but thankfully we have LLJsmom to the rescue! I also went by Lang that day, so there are a couple of bonus pics from there.

 

[kefira]

A couple more, then bonus Lang pics!









I hope you all enjoy these. I'm sorry I didn't get pics of more rings. It was a lot of fun, though, and I definitely recommend seeing SS in person if you have the chance.

This sapphire band would make me feel pretty...sigh... Do you happen to know how much this was? I didn't even ask.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I tried on the sapphire FC band with alternating diamonds. Every band was beautiful.

I think it ran $4700 or $4800. Something just shy of 5K. I really liked how it looked in the full length mirror on my right hand. Now, where did I leave that money tree?
