Definitely will take a break from buying jewelry now....

Everything is beautiful! I particularly LOVE the earrings! Tell us more and share the vendor if you'd like. I love the pink and love pear shaped pink diamonds! Congratulations on your beautiful pieces. :geek2::love:

I LOVE IT :love: I am a sucker for ornate settings. Normally East-West doesn't do much for me, but I really love it in your ring. It just works.

May you get many years of enjoyment from this beauty.

I just got this VCA rose gold carnelian sweet Alhambra bracelet. I love it and it looks perfect with my other two rose gold bracelets!

Yowsa! :love::love::love: Really GORGEOUS...and big! :appl: :kiss2: What are your plans for them?

A toi et moi ring inspired by EC8’s (I got her blessing first). We found this pair for a seemingly good price and my husband really likes that style.

I just need to get them in and confirm I like them IRL and possibly send them off to be graded before staring the ring design process. :mrgreen2:

Winnie tucker, your antique cushions look awesome! EC8 is my personal ring hero. Her ideas and the results are inspiring! EC8 if you are reading this, I’d love to know where you get your inspiration. Do you collect images in Pinterest for example? All the details in both your rings add add up to extremely elegant yet sleek designs. Winnietucker I can’t wait to see your finished ring!!

Attended my first ever gem show this weekend. SO many beautiful things! Was supposed to be browsing only... but I came across a vendor with old cut diamond pieces.....
I walked away with an antique Art Deco piece, .60 Old Mine diamond in original setting. Only have a quick snap for now ; ) IMG_20190929_141354179~2.jpg

Absolutely stunning and I’m very much admiring your knitting project there.
Sigh, I can barely manage to do pearl o_O

Knitting is my favorite hobby! I actually teach an elective class (beginner knit) at my daughter’s middle school three times a week for the next six weeks. This week I’m just teaching the kids how to make a slip knot & cast on. Believe it or not, I have quite a few boys in the class. Maybe I should also teach them about diamonds?!

:cheeky:

I ADORE east/west. It’s still uncommon which makes it just that much more special.

I picked up this 18k yellow gold bracelet a couple weeks ago while visiting Dublin. The jewelry store bore my late mother's maiden name and the last time I visited Ireland was with her, so I had to get something :kiss2:

Shoul receive this mid next week. Seller has a good return policy so feel ok about not being able to see super close up detailed shots of the stones themselves before purchase.
I’m interested in these for project stones, not as a ready to wear piece. Have never cannibalized a piece before - any suggestions/pitfalls to watch for?

Thank you, @EllenS1! And - nice to see you! :wavey:

I'm still working on it, and even have one new charm since this was taken! The cupcake is now gone (I'm trying to do away with all 'cutesy') and am thinking of a number of new ones! All of these are very substantial; I was looking at someone else's charm bracelet the other day and it had 4 times the charms I have - at least - and mine was heavier. I think I will ultimately have a charm on every link, so this will be substantial indeed. I do hope it ends up being spectacular; these individual little pieces of creativity cost a bomb!! I'm having a great time with it, tho, and it's one of the more fun projects I've ever done. :))

I hope all is well with you - don't be a stranger! :wavey:

It’s very inspirational and will be such a conversation piece once you start wearing it I’m sure=)2. I’m doing well thanks for asking and hope all is well with you too!!
