I got more than I realized! Next year is going to be a lot less decadent for me!
I got a gorgeous multi color pearl harvest bracelet from Kamoka
little antique 14k gold Tahitian pearl dangles with a lovely design where leaves cup the pearls
A chrysoprase 14k pendant
An antique 9k rose gold curb chain padlock bracelet. I shortened it but now its too short! Lol.
And edwardian sterling silver and moonstone bracelet - just stunning!!! I need it shortened…
My paper flowers necklace from
Tiffany’s in rose gold to celebrate my new job
This magical sapphire multicolor platinum band from Inken at Enhoerning - it might honestly be my all time favorite piece of jewelry (
I set my glorious, silky sapphire with David klass in a platinum setting inspired by an antique Tiffany’s ring
i upgraded my 7mm to 8.6mm gem Akoyas with moline
I got this vintage Imado moonphase watch I’d been hunting for a while
and the project closest to my heart…I worked with Inken to reimagine my wedding set. I slimmed down my original wedding band and got a whole new floral inspired solitaire to let my OEC shine

I'd recommend considering the rose gold pave vintage alhambra pendant instead. It will go with so many more things and will coordinate with all other Alhambra pieces in rose gold.
In the early part of 2021, I focused on having Victor Canera finally reset my diamond from a solitaire to his gorgeous antique cushion halo. I am so glad I waited to find the perfect setting!
Next, I saw a perfect pair of 1.6 ct (each) H VS1-2 WF ACAs and did my FINAL studs upgrade!
After getting my diamond pieces straightened out, I got a VCA Magic onyx long pendant in May (to match the bracelet I got last Christmas), and a few months later I lucked into finding a solid wg vintage Alhambra bracelet (at the boutique) that was a special order but the original customer changed their mind.
I actually have not gotten any jewelry for Christmas and anniversary yet. VCA was (and is) sold out of everything I had on my wishlist, and I have been wearing so little jewelry over the last year or so that I felt uncertain about what I really want. So I may get a belated gift in the next few weeks if I can decide!
Heart eyes to everything, especially that band, solitaire, and Paper Flowers!

@Natylad Thank you for sharing all your 2021 beauties! I feel like I can see you smiling as you write about them - you’re lucky to have such a loving and jewellery-loving family
I hope your 2022 brings health and happiness. And I think every woman needs a jewellery-loving BIL!
I died and went to bling Heaven !!!! Your ring is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen in my life @"diamondseeker2006!!! And all your other pieces are absolute perfection! Wear them all in good health and I wish you an even blingier 2022!!!
Sure! Not the best shot but hopefully helps. They are in the 8.5-9mm size range (from what I understand, pearl pricing is based on “ranges”)
id go to Moline himself on Instagram for pricing, he is very helpful. Pricing is based on not only size, but quality. So depending on what you are looking for, pricing varies a lot. You can also compare against Mikimoto pricing for the 8.5-9mm in AAA (this is the equivalent based on what Moline said)

A stunning classic collection.
I didn't buy bling this year (not anything significant) but I am in the process of passing my jewelry down to my loved ones.
Pieces I don't wear that I think they will enjoy wearing.
To that end I am starting my sister's bling collection as all she really has is her Tiffany diamond ER, band and a few pairs of modest earrings.
We just gave her my most blingy diamond hoops. Sassy and sweet. And happily she loves them!
I told her if I give her anything she won't wear and love to let me know as I have plenty of selection to choose from and want her to love what we give her.
Happy New Year PS friends!!! This has been an absolutely epiccly blingtastic year! I am so grateful. I know this won't be repeated lol! Non of this would be possible if it wasn't for this community. Almost everything is preloved and I am beyond grateful!

It takes a village lol! Thanks for letting me share. Happy New Year to all!
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:
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.
This year I didn't buy any jewelry for myself but I received a lot of wonderful and meaningful gifts from people that I love!
The first gift of the year was a ruby and diamond ring! It was a gift from my father, which was given to me during the difficult time that I was fighting breast cancer and it has a great significance to me.
A few weeks later, dad also gave me a wonderful ruby and diamond bracelet, which was a totally unexpected piece!!!
I'm attaching photos of the two pieces worn together!
FAINTS! Just beautiful collection!! I love your reset! Sheeer Peeerfection!!In the early part of 2021, I focused on having Victor Canera finally reset my diamond from a solitaire to his gorgeous antique cushion halo. I am so glad I waited to find the perfect setting!

Is there a thread on your gorgeous diamond holy grail?!
No, I'm the worst at starting threads! I always think I should do a new photo shoot to have photos worthy of starting a thread, and then I just never get around to it!
