I really want to try the olive branch climber earrings on at Tiffany. I will hold off until after the holidays and let my bling fund recover because I’m pretty sure they will come home with me!!! 0F884034-6A6A-413A-A535-A4A7BF484B72.png

Bought these as a present to myself, just like all the other bling purchases, with no particular reasons! :lol-2:

They are the right shape being ovals rather than rounds, with an inner length of 12mm which is about right for my big fat earlobes; and the price is right!

Should get them early next week with express shipping at no cost to me, thanks to my usual contact in China. :)

In addition to the earring, after reading Jeff White's latest Gem Scoop maildrop, I have asked him to secure a blue green Afghani Tourmaline about 3 to 5ct mostly likely to be an oval shaped stone, and a purple pink Pastel Pyrobe Garnet roughs for a finished stone about 2ct/7mm for me for cutting at a later date.

I already have a Tsavorite garnet waiting to be cut by him, so these two are new stones.

I just bought this 5.4ct Purple sapphire ring by Leon Mege.
I’ll go out on a limb and say I spoiled myself this Christmas. :Up_to_something::mrgreen:

Oooh @elle_71125 that is beautiful. Are the side diamonds crisscuts? They look like something special but it just a little difficult to tell from the angles on the photos.

Thank you. The sides are “Elongated True Antique™ cushion diamonds” (info pulled from LM’s website). :mrgreen:

Thank you. I love jewel tones on my skin (which is probably why I lean towards the brighter, saturated gems). This purple fits right in. :D

Thank you! This was originally about 8 ctw (at 7” length) and I got it shortened to 6.1”, hence it’s around 20 points each 35 diamonds approx 7 ctw. Hope you get your ideal tennis bracelet soon! =)2

@junebug17 I know right?! I love retro, it’s my thing and this is being sized for my index finger! Woop! I actually got the diamond weight wrong, apparently it’s 1.75ct, I can’t wait to get it!

Love the VCA and your tennis bracelet! I love the 20 pointers! Did you get it from a local jeweler or a PS jeweler?

My latest purchase is a .45ct E VS1 EX/EX/EX diamond for a 14K YG pendant. I attached a photo of the diamond itself and of the type of pendant (martini) it will be set into.
I’ve been dying for a pendant, so I’m very anxious for mine to be done and here!

My next purchase will be a five stone trellis setting for some diamonds I have laying around. After that, I’m considering the Cartier Love Ring, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the price tag. I do think it would pair well with my ring though… :twisted2:

Thank you @diamondseeker2006! I was initially looking at WF (love their melees! I have a 7-stone band from them), but I was quite concerned about the length as my wrist is rather small and wasn’t comfortable shortening the bracelet based on a certain length without seeing how it looks on me. Since I do not live in the US, I ended up getting it from a local jeweller, this was a delightful find as it holds up well beside my WF band!

How wonderful! I totally understand about the length issue! I am looking at WF since I do live in the US, and I really think yours is the perfect size for me! It certainly looks like wonderful quality, too!
