Some of my favorite pieces

[Shiny42805]

Hi everyone!

Joined up a little over a month ago, and I already posted my e-ring HERE, but I thought I''d share some of my other favorite pieces.

I have a little bit of a heart obsession

I''m only 22 yrs old, but as I get older, I hope to develop collections like YOU! haha

First up is my pendant - it was a gift from my parents for my high school graduation in 2001. It''s a .54ct, H color, SI2, set in 14K white gold, and I looooove it. It throws colors everywhere. I''m rethinking the setting though - I''d really like to set it in an octagonal halo surrounded by pave stones.

Next is my two-tone 18K white and yellow gold necklace with tiny little 3pointers in the gold beads...this was also a gift from my parents, on my 18th birthday.eIt had 1 diamond in it when I received it, and Every year for my birthday, I''ve added another diamond into the gold beads.

Here''s my diamond and sapphire pendant - was a gift from my future husband for my birthday/Valentine''s day (they''re 2 days apart!) I don''t have any specs on the sapphires, but they look to be a nice blue color to me! The diamonds are all g-h VS stones - they sparkle like crazy, but I wasn''t able to capture it in a pic

LOVE this pendant. It''s substantial, so I''m not too comfortable wearing it all the time, but it definitely gets good use.

My favorite cross - no specs at all, sorry. Also a gift from my future hubby --- I''m so spoiled!

Will your parents adopt me? I''m turning 30 next month and I want a diamond necklace!

Very pretty collection. I like the bezel setting of your first necklace, though resetting it in a halo would also be nice!

Some 14K white gold earrings - saw these in a store and just loved them, so I bought them for myself! Don''t know anything about them, other than the fact that I LOVE them! haha

Next up are my studs - hubby and I were at the jeweler looking at e-ring diamonds, and she offered me a great deal on some studs. They were already purchased by someone else, but the woman felt they were too small for her, and returned them. I think they're just right for me- I wear them everyday. They're .56cttw (one is .27, one is .29ct.) G, H color, both SI1, but with no visible inclusions (they're small stones - I bet it would be hard to see inclusions in even an I1.)

eek - really sorry for the HUGE earshots - no ear should be examined that closely!

And I do have the greatest parents. Of course, they made sure I learned responsibility and I paid my own college tuition and bought my own car, but they were always generous gifters. We''re italian, so every gift is either jewelry or cash!

Lastly, my heart ring. Fiance bought me this ring 2 years into our dating relationship (we''ve been dating for 5.5 years!), and I just think it''s adorable. I know nothing about the little tiny stones, other than the fact that they''ve been in that white gold setting for over 3 years and lots of wear, and they''re still in there, so the workmanship must be pretty OK! I love the hearts in the gallery. I told you I was a little heart obsessed - note the heart pj pants in the last pics?

 

[Shiny42805]

well thats my jewelry box - thanks for looking!!!

And Jelly - I''m sure they''d love another kid! You''re going to be 30 - that would have made them 16 year old parents!

Shiny!!!!! What a great collection! They''re all just beautiful.

And to think you''re only 22!

By the time you''re my age (almost 40 years from now) you''ll need a jewelry trunk, not a jewelry box!

Thanks for sharing your treasures.

hahahah - you made me laugh out loud! I looooove jewelry. I''m allergic to silver, so I''ve always been given the "good stuff". I better have a daughter or 2 to pass these on to!


Thank you

I''m allergic to silver, so I''ve always been given the ''good stuff''.

I definately have to look into this "silver allergy" deal!

Is it contagious?

Love your collection, especially your e-ring & your bezel pendent. (Also love octagonal halos - so either way that one''ll be gorgeous)

Thanks for sharing!

Wow! These are only some of your favorite pieces? Wow! You are one lucky lady!!!

 

[MelissaSue]

Thats a great collection for a 22 year old. I am 24 and my collection is not nearly that extensive. All of your jewelery is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

 

[sevens one]

You have some beautiful pieces already.

Lovely collection! Thanks for posting it. I''m 41, and I have a heart obsession too!!!! I have quite a few pieces that are hearts, and my engagement ring from a fiance I did not marry (I was so young) was a heart-shaped diamond. I wish I had kept that diamond and had a pendant made -- oh well . . . .

What pretty pieces! Can''t wait to see that collection in another 10, 20, 30 years!
