So the mixed cut necklace didn't work out. But at least the return process was a breeze.

Now, I have my eye on something else. But would it be weird to wear an apple necklace, if I'm not a teacher?

I don't think it's weird at all. Go for it!

I wonder if it’s newly cut or newly recut.
just curious.
gorgeous tho.

I'm a total newbie in old cuts so I don't even know. I just fell for the facets.

What was wrong with the necklace? The four-petal flower one? How was the return process, how much was return shipping? I've had my eye on a few items from that seller, possibly a small flower pendant to start, I'm just worried about the stones being total duds. I also really want the poodle you showed us but I can't justify it, and pushing 40 in a few years I just don't know how much longer I could pull it off. :razz:

I bought these cheapo earrings from eBay. They are quite nice and have some sparkles, and sit nicely in my earlobes.

They are now one of my go-to earrings for everyday casual wear.

After blowing the budget on my camper van project, I have refrained from spending money on jewellery.

Tomorrow, I shall meet up with the bench that is going to set my mum's MRB in a bangle, and shall discuss having a few items to be set, and that should be it.

Hi, the pendant itself was absolutely fine. It was the box chain that I didn't like. And it couldn't be removed (the bail was smaller than the ends of the chain).

I contacted the seller to let them know I wanted to return, and they respond to go ahead with the eBay return process the next day.

Return shipping was around $40 (tracking + insurance). And I received the full refund in about a week.

I have purchased and returned from another Japanese reseller before (also in this thread), and the experience was very similar.

HTH.

Repost from Colored Gemstone forum, but this lovely 2.21 ct unheated padparadscha sapphire:

I know I want to set it out as pendant, but not entirely sure about the design. Oh well, not in a rush to set it and I can always admire it in the meantime!

I've been putting together my charm bracelet for a long time now. I started with something far more generic many years ago and have slowly been replacing charms with custom made ones that mean something personal to me. I've always loved enamel and I adore color, so the bracelet is taking on a greater preponderance of both those things. I've decided I still have 2 more charms to go - maybe 3 - but I'm posting this now because I've been doing it for so long, I just want to share it at this point. The charms are almost all 18kt, while the few pre-made ones are mostly 14kt with one 18kt. It's *really* heavy - which I love - and very eye-catching. It's a great piece to wear with blue jeans and a white shirt.

And secondly - my EC diamond arrived yesterday. It's *beautifully* cut - has lovely sparkle and glow - and it's a perfect size. I've finalized a setting design and it's already been cast, and now I'm waiting for some custom cut side stones. It's a slow business - but this one is really going to be worthwhile!

Your charm bracelet is darling. I especially like the passport charm with all the fine details.

The EC diamond is gorgeous! I can't wait to see the finished ring.
