What’s still on your “to buy list”?

Well, I decided to push back the yellow sapphire 3 stone, and instead make a move on the starter diamond, which ended up being a starter...and finish diamond. I need to see it yet, so am not getting too excited at this point, but it's a 2.06ct H SI modern cushion - NOT crushed ice, and smaller table than normal, cut in the style of Blue Nile's Astor Ideal cushions - but with a smaller table and a somewhat puffier head. It's like a modern cushion with a slight old world feel.

Probably gonna halo it with the tiny diamonds leftover from when I pulled apart the halo setting for my 4ct ACA, set it in platinum, and that will be the end of my entire platinum set. The only caveat to this is if I use my birthday gift next year to upgrade it. That's possible, but we'll see.

My list:
- diamond studs. I don't know what size or where. I thought about 1 ct from whiteflash, but I believe I'm one of those people who can't tell an ideal from a diamond in zales, so perhaps it might be overkill. So maybe blue diamonds from lightbox - I believe my husband may get me these next year (I hope there are more choices by then!)

- reset wedding rings and resize them. I've worn them 24/7 since 2001. They've been through my army service (and tons of training exercises), two kids and my cooking, cleaning (hmmmm, wonder if that's why I can't see a difference between my HOF ring and my coworker's Zales lol). I've started at a size 3 finger. The rings are a 3.5 and it gets snug throughout the day, I can only wear one of them to sleep now

- reset diamond necklace, I can't decide whether I want them bezeled or a simple 6 prong. Right now they are in a 6 prong with very dull looking rectangular diamonds(?)

Maybe:
- diamond bracelet, station but with more diamonds, like the one someone here had IDJ made for them

Unrealistic/dream:
- nice watch - a Rolex or Omega, I just bought a Skagen to test out wearing a watch and it's quite irritating lol, I've scratched my face and have gotten it stuck in my hair several times
- a plain gold cartier love bracelet - although the idea that I need someone to unscrew it off my wrist makes me a bit anxious
- diamond briole dangle earrings, someone here had posted pictures and they are to die for! Although I may need to fix my earholes if I want to wear those type of earrings
- Forgot to add asscher or octavia diamond ring (which I've never heard of until this forum), maybe a 5 stone to go with my ER, but what carat would it need to be so I can see the patterns?

A Paraiba and an Art Deco target ring.

A pair of weight lifting straps. I guess that counts as jewelry?

You lift weights? I wanna hear more, if you'd like to share. I am very much into weight-lifting, but alas not been able to do much as of late.

@Bron357, sorry about the threadjack.

Yep, I have been powerlifting these past two years. I had tendonitis for two months, though.

Ouch!! I hope you've fully recovered.

How much do you lift? How did you get into it? Do you compete?

I had been going to the gym and figure skating a while, but a friend introduced powerlifting.
Currently 107 kg deadlift, 98 kg squat, and 52 kg bench. I don’t compete, but I’d like to get to 150 deadlift before I do. There are super tiny girls deadlifting 220!

I'm super impressed!! and a little jealous, truth be told!

I have a feeling if you specifically trained for this, you’d get there too... and then some.

I'd love to. Alas, I don't think I will though.

Reading your old posts... I think you’re doing great with what you can. That in itself is strength.

Thank you, @strawrose. x

I really don’t have a long list, but it still could get expensive:

1. Get a new setting for my 2.86 ct OEC, which is currently in its Stuller setting. I’m already in contact with DK.

2. Get a dangling earring suitable for occasions
Maybe some vintage. Maybe at first I just order some moissanite dangling earrings, to try if I really like a longer earring. I haven’t worn longer earrings for ages.

3 I really would like to own a Rolex. Not too fancy, but a Rolex. I hope next year...
