Woo-Hoo - the ''Hardware'' Party in Providence, RI!

............on the neck

This is the 1.12 bellerina pendant next to my .75 halo - very similar in size visually.......so hopefully helpful for those who are trying to figure out how to maximize size for budget.

Neck shot of the halo...........

You folks can thank Ktn for all the bling, because she came loaded up! This is her circle of life pendant.....I believe it''s 1 cwt.

[aljdewey]

A little closer.......

 

[aljdewey]

LOOK at all the ideal-cut melee.......*swoooooooooooooon*

 

[aljdewey]

I didn't realize Ktn had the 3-prong tennis bracelet from WF, too. This is a 3-ct bracelet, and she was telling us it's quite durable for every day wear. I know there was a recent query about the safety of 3-prongs, so hopefully these pictures give some idea.

I dunno......I think it looks perfect at home on MY wrist....

 

[aljdewey]

......a bit closer up.

 

[aljdewey]

I gotta say, Ktn is a baaaaaaaaaaaad influence! LOL After trying on all her stuff, I have some SERIOUS budget issues!
This bracelet is gorgeous....

On a side note, I loved how this shot captured the colors in my ring, too!

 

[justjulia]

I think you guys had WAY too much fun. I''m envious!

 

[aljdewey]

Whew .....and after all that, we had to go for something sweet.....

You HAVE to know there was only one logical choice:

We split a piece of LEMON cheesecake. With lots of real whipped cream (Mara!)

I'm happy to report, it had absolutely NO yaw. It was perfect, and DELICIOUS!

Cannot wait to do this again and hang out with these really amazing women!

Shay and Ktn, thanks so much for a truly amazing day. There's something really indulgent about being able to revel in your passion with people who are just as enthusiastic about it, too! I can't wait to do it again!

 

[sumbride]

Oh wow!!! Those are some amazing pieces and pictures!!! I had no idea how detailed the Belleirina was before this... and now I WANT ONE!!! GORGEOUS and so unique!!!

What lucky ladies you three are with al that bling and new friends too! Sounds like you had a blast!

I''m in the same boat! I just showed the Bellerina to my FI and while he agreed it was pretty, he pointed to my ring, mentioned how much it cost, and said "that''s enough for now"!" I said "Well, maybe in 5 years??? That will be our 10 years of knowing each other anniversary..." He said I was stretching and that I should just appreciate my ring that everyone talks about! So I looked it up and said "the setting is only $400 something..." and he just rolled his eyes.

Ah, men.

Hopefully my ING account will come through for me!

 

[Beacon]

So much fun!!!

That three prong tennis braclet is absolutely beautiful. I fell in love with it. Soooo nice.

Looks like a very good time was had by all. Cool!

Great reporting, Alj, and great pictures!

It sounds like you guys had sooooo much fun!

I have to laugh, though....you''re DEFINITELY a diamond girl! I wanted to hear about those green earrings...and this....is it peridot??
