I have a heart diamond on hold! This is to show how much I love my Bailey. It’s a vs1 g color medium blue Fluorescence..It was checked to make sure it’s eye clean, no cloudiness, haziness..etc. I’m just waiting to see if the crystal is white or dark..

What a pretty diamond! I’m excited for you.
Oh ugh I can hardly READ what your DH is going through. Poor man. Nettie pot and salt? Allergy meds? Flonase? Anti-inflammatories? I’m sorry, I’m sure my suggestions are not that much help

Thanks @Jimmiane! I love my crazy dog..He’s getting old..I want to show him now that I think he’s special to me..He will, of course, just sniff it but I’ll know..
Yes..Hubby is having a hard time. I’m a problem solver... so of course I’m brainstorming and giving myself a headache. I told him to try to sleep with his Cpap machine. It would get moisture up there. He did last night..He said he felt a little better this morning!

I was thinking of setting it like I did with Emma..a little bezel..I may want to jazz up the bezel with something. Any ideas?

Do you like mixed metals? I think a heart shaped diamond would
look good with some 18k rose gold thrown in ( just my 2 cents).

Thank you @Luvallgems I‘m weird that I don’t like rose gold on me. I want it to be all one color 18k white gold. I’m game for anything else!

It will be gorgeous!

I can’t even tell you how bad I’ve been. I made offers on three bands, and all three offers were accepted.
PS (for inspiration + motivation) + eBay + Etsy = bling fest overload.
But I got great deals..that counts...right???

That definitely counts! Do you have pics?

I bought this lovely for my birthday (12/22)... not anything super fancy, but I had been eyeing it for a while and wanted to add some color bling to my regular stack. Unfortunately my fingers seem to have swollen over the last week (too much holiday food!) so it is feeling tight right now on my middle finger
It's a rainbow gemstone band - I think it's blue topaz, Citrine, Pink Tourmaline, Amethyst, Peridot, and Garnet.

Um...after I get over being in denial that I just bought more bands than I can wear... to put in a jewelry box that already had more bands than I can wear.
Are you sensing a trend here???

Sweet. Bands are always fun.

 

[Rfisher]

Not a bargain find by any means
But something that couldn’t get out of my ‘wants radar’ otherwise

 

[EmeraldEmpress]

Is this string ”things you‘re considering,” or “things you bought this year”?

it's both ; ) it's so fun to see what everyone has recently purchased or is considering purchasing. Often the conversations on here help to decide on the purchasing ; )

@missy The challenge is that his nose isn’t blocked from stuff..can’t say the word..yuck..It’s just swollen up there...I suggested eating spicy food...That fell flat because he said there’s nothing up there to flush out. His nose is actually red on the outside which makes me think he has an infection but he said there’s nothing in there to be infected..I‘m hoping he wakes up with a clear nose. He’s still sleeping poor guy..

Pardon me butting in here lol, and I'm not sure if this is sinus issues (but it sounds like it may be?)
I have extensive sinus issues (runs in my family) and I will say my nasal spray is my lifesaver, but I don't use it constantly b/c I agree that can be a bad thing. I will also say that spicy foods (especially soups and sauces) are natural lifesavers for me. I too have the swelling, but the spicy foods actually cause my nose to "drip" (sorry to be gross!) and then I get relief. Blowing my nose does nothing b/c it is the swelling and not congestion, but the spicy foods do the trick often. Chicken tortilla soup is a good one, highly recommend! Or a good chili with cayenne pepper. Good time of year to make these too ; )

Wanted to share just in the chance that it may help him. I hope he gets relief soon!

Thank you so much @EmeraldEmpress! That is so sweet of you to comment. I did mention spicy foods to him..I’m going to tell him more than one person suggested it.

It looks gorgeous @Mamabean. I am so excited for you.

Thank you @marcy! I needed a pick me up..This did the trick! I hope the size is good.

@Jimmianne Bands are my kryptonite! I browse Ebay and Etsy daily! I have so many..I have to thin the herd if I can figure out how to sell them! We are probably bidding against each other!

OMG. I hope not.
Thin the herd


Ps. We need help. Is there a 12 step program for bandbuyers??

Thank you! I hope to find a matching fob watch for it.

I am intrigued that the bow still has the attachment for it. Taking a bow to yours!

@Mamabean I've been looking at old heart ring, where the shape really is made bezels, since the main stones are notch-less. I'd wish for your bezel to work the same even if the diamond heart has its notch [beautiful stone!]

Would we have to stop buying bands?

I purchased this curved band to pair with my reset e-ring and I absolutely love the two together
