Wonderful thread to reflect before the new year!
This year was the year I fell down the VCA slope...
Got the vintage grey MOP RG pendant in March, followed by vintage YG bracelet in May then vintage alternating Carnelian/RG bracelet in Sept.. and the Cartier JUC ring in Jul
No wonder hubs was starting to point out any clover-looking thing he sees in architectures/everyday objects to me!
Love the clovers and your e-rings is beautiful. I just posted about considering the grey VA pendant. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to try it on and live far from any boutique. How are you enjoying it so far? Any chance you have photos wearing the pendant? Looks like we have similar coloring.What a great thread, @LLJsmom! Love seeing others' pieces from the year.
This year I did a small overhaul of my small collection. I sold several white metal pieces and bought rose gold pieces (Cartier two-tone watch, Tiffany infinity bangle, long Paloma Picasso pendant).
I'm already thinking about 2022...
Thanks! Not the best picture, but here I am wearing the necklace at Tiffany while trying on another Tiffany necklace.
I've also worn it doubled up, though I prefer it long. I love the movement.
But I’m greatly enjoying seeing everyone else’s years in review!
Thank you! Loving your Tiffany pieces and engagement ring too, they look amazing!!
The pendant usually looks pretty subtle as it’s usually showing dark grey, especially with dark turtleneck tops! As I’m currently overseas and won’t be returning anytime soon, can’t show close ups of the pendant against my skin but hopefully these pictures would help!

This is the large Paloma's Melody Circle Pendant. https://www.tiffany.com/jewelry/necklaces-pendants/palomas-melody-circle-pendant-37469114/
I’m not sure I’ve got sufficient mental or intestinal fortitude to participate in this thread as I went a bit batty this year and blew through half of next year’s bling budget too…
For me, 2021 was the year that I
1. Shelved the engagement stone upgrade project indefinitely (it’ll be such a PITA project - I’m thinking I’ll wait til my 40th!), and
2. Put the lid on the pearls! No more pearls!! I’m genuinely satisfied with what I’ve got - my collection feels whole and complete. So I’m moving onto making my friends buy pearls

Yes, that is the Victoria Circle Vine pendant (small size). It is even more beautiful in person and a possible contender for me, but at $5500 is more than I was planning to pay for a pendant next year.
The olive leaf ring very rarely gets caught on things. It helps that I always wear it next to my bezel ring.
It seems I was into vintage and opalescence this year. I don't have a pic of them all together but here are my vintage rose cut diamond and opal pendant, vintage old mine and cushion cut horseshoe brooch, vintage star sapphire ring, vintage opal octopus brooch, Omega Seamaster watch and Apatite, Aqua and Tourmaline butterfly brooch:

Thank you diamondyes!
(not sure about pewter's status around here)
My year consisted of 6 things (actually, it’s really more if you count the things I bought to tear apart to make some of these items but I’m just not going there lol in my defense I also sold a bunch of items I wasn’t wearing or were pre-PS). 3 were planned/on my radar, the other 3 fell into my lap/had to have. All I can say is, my list of must haves has dramatically dwindled.

I couldn't find any threads...

Tell us more about that pendant on the right there...
I’ve been a terrible PSer this year and haven’t made any threads! The pendant on the right is a beautiful 1.36 OEC with the prettiest petals that I saved from ebay….it was living in this hideous setting and the owner had no clue it was an old cut! She’s probably H/I in color, definitely no lower than a J I would say.
I put her into a pretty basket setting inspired by an antique Lang pendant I found and I got creative with the prongs so I could thread different chains through. I don’t know if this will be her final home but I have so many rings and wanted to at least enjoy her somehow.
And huge!! And the basket works perfectly - it really would be a pity to have it languish in a box Thanks for sharing the story and some extra photos!
It’s beautiful, the faceting is the first thing I saw too
Of course I found her right AFTER I found and bought the smaller one to her left but who could say no???? And of course I had to keep both
