So Cal GTG - Downtown LA - PHOTOS!!

[rockzilla]

Well, ladies, by popular request, I scrounged up a USB cable to bring you photo''s from yesterday''s GTG in downtown LA.

We saw a lot of lovely bling (both belonging to PSers and not belonging to PSers...yet!) that I hope you''ll enjoy.

Overall it was a very lovely event and I was so happy to meet some fellow jewel lovers myself. Can''t wait to do it again, ladies!

RZ

PS Full disclosure...I fell in LOVE with an OEC e-ring there...so at least half of the photos will be of that...let me know what you think

PS2 Green w/Envy I think knows most of the stats better than me...so please chime in!

 

[rockzilla]

To start off...when I saw this petite little one, I just thought she was so cute, I had to take her home!

JUST KIDDING! Look at this beauty - ~5ct I believe.

 

[rockzilla]

To be certain, PSers have bling to rival that of any downtown shop...without further ado, Hearting Diamond''s e-ring.

 

[rockzilla]

Here it is...what an honor to be able to try this one on.

 

[rockzilla]

Another shot...I believe she said it was 2ct. She also said her NY resolution was no purchases in 2008...we''ll see how that holds up

 

[rockzilla]

Lest the colored stones feel left out...Green with Envy''s spectacular tanzanite (LEON!)

Me likey!! The east west setting - fab!!

 

[zoebartlett]

Lovely rings! They''re all so beautiful! I LOVE your sapphire and diamond ring, Rockzilla. The color is gorgeous!

 

[iheartscience]

Wow...what gorgeous bling!!! I love the OECs, too! Beautiful rings all around!

 

[strmrdr]

awesome bling!
love that asscher!!
here is a hint with your camera when doing hand shots, focus by pressing the shutter button 1/2 way then move the camera back about the height of the stone above the finger or a little more.
That will move the focus from the hand too the stone.

 

[Kaleigh]

Great pics, love everyone''s bling!!!

RZ, the OEC is a stunner!!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Beautiful rings! Sounds like you ladies had a lot of fun!

 

[ChargerGrrl]

Yesterday''s GTG was fun! It was great to meet RZ & Hearting. THANKS to Gw/E for setting it up, and it was nice to catch up with you!

AWESOME pics, RZ- that OEC looks like it was tailor-made for you!

oh yeah, i''m OK with posting a group shot- no worries here.

 

[ChargerGrrl]

oops- double post.

 

[Green with Envy]

That asscher is a 5.64 H VVS1 or VVS2. It was the nicest looking one I ever seen... it really made me understand what it is when a diamond has "life!" Sooo white... yet at every angle had all sorts of other colors... serioulsy AMAZING. I think it can be yours for $200,000 before negotiating!!!


I wore a chunky square 5.20 cushion that made me feel like a movie star! I had my camera in purse the whole time... should have taken others pics... but that asscher really was the most amazing bling we tried on.

Now that sweet OEC ring just is MADE FOR ROCKZILLA'S HAND!!! The stone was perfect size and the setting so elegant and classic.


I finally decided on getting a handmade eternity band for myself... but can not post pics in SMTR for 6-8 weeks. It is a 18 kt yellow gold eternity band with alternating oec's diamonds and french cut rubies. It will be around 3.8 mm wide and I can wear it alone... or with other rings. YEA!!!

 

[HeartingDiamonds]

RZ - that OEC ring looks perfect on you!!!

I dont mind the photos - btw, Im the tall, skinny blonde

(I feel my nose growing a mile long)..

Fun day all around - that asscher (5+cts) is my dream ring. sigh....

Glad your day was wonderful and how fun to try on that gorgeous asscher!!!

One of you needs to scoop that baby up.

 

[Ellen]

Beautiful rings, beautiful ladies!!


Oh, and that Asscher?

 

[somethingshiny]

WOW! That''s some SERIOUS bling! I love the asscher and the oec. DROOL... I would have been so star-studded, I think I would have forgotten about my camera too!

Thanks for posting, Rockzilla!

And, thanks Storm for the hint about pics. I need that for myself.

 

[aljdewey]

What a handsome looking group! And the jewelry is to-die-for as well!

Glad to see you had a great time together!
