Thank you @upgradingmama @MamaBee @ZestfullyBling @lovedogs! It is adorable right? I waffled for days between how cute it is and how impractical it is (high and need TLC while wearing) before deciding that I can’t bear to return it.

Yup, big on the finger. But is really like having a little bird around. Enjoying it for this weekend before I pack it back for resizing.

This is SO stunning! Would you share where you got her, @icy_jade?

Can't believe I had missed this earlier. @ean I had been stalking this bow brooch (I have an obsession with antique bows) and was quite blue when I saw it had been sold. So happy to see it's gone to a PSer as it's one of my favourite bow brooches out there! Please promise you'll post many photos of it. =)2

Hey! A rose cut Diamond popped out ( thank God I found it) so I had dropped it off to my jeweler to see if it can be repaired. Fingers crossed I don’t have to send it all the way back. How were you planning to wear it?

I have too many things going right now and therefore have NO business (!) making any impulse buys . But that's what happened. But in my defense, I've been daydreaming about a frenchcut eternity. If it fits well, I'm sending it to DK for milgrain.

I'm so envious, CHRISTY-DANIELLE, it looks beautiful! Would you mind sharing the height and width of it after you get it? I've been so curious about Alex's French cut bands.

Absolutely will do! I did a little cut n paste mock up to see proper scale. I am guessing it's about 2.5mm wide. I'll get back to you with a real life photo. This is smaller than many of the mega fc bands on this forum, but works for my stubby fingers!

So, the necklace I had spoken about before is almost final. Here're some pics when my sister tried them on. For those who didn't read the earlier post, this is a 65th birthday present for our mom. The necklace can be worn sans pendant, or with the puny diamond pendant (as seen in the pic) or with a pear pendant where the central stone is interchangeable. I have got one which is ruby (which you can see here) and also considering an emerald and an amethyst. Not sure about these stones yet but in good time, the plan is to buy a better all diamond pendant which has bigger stones and some presence.

By the way, also posting diamond bangles that we are planning on buying her. They would be in this design but probably not in such carat weight - these bangles are 18 carats in all VVS1, EF colour and in 22k yllow setting. We are looking at something in the 12 carat range for the 2 bangles.

I am eyeing a watch, another Ebel Beluga, a Tonneau with diamonds on the case as well as on the dial.

The collection has been discontinued, so there are not many new ones about.

I just love the curvy design of their Beluga watch bracelet, and have 2 already: a Manchette and a full size Lady's watches, both with MOP dials and diamond hour markers.

DK :))

I have this! It’s beautiful! Got it 12 years ago and still love it!

A pair of Aquamarine pears as drops for earrings, and possibly another Aqua for a ring; and have made enquiries with Jeff W after seeing a pic of his goodies picked from from Tucson this year.

I love Aquamarines.

DK :))
I almost did this last year for my son’s wedding. Please post pics if you get them!

Jeff W does not have suitable roughs for a pair of pear dangles, however, I am eyeing a pair elsewhere.

I recently purchased a couple of items that have been on my “Classic jewelry capsule” wishlist DD7EA298-A22D-462F-A954-F22394BF7DDC.jpeg 6C4A318B-605F-4D55-9929-B29A32C26CAD.jpeg

Beautiful! Could you tell me more about your earrings: size, karat weight, and where you got them? They look like a perfect size for daily wear without being "too much."

Considering the tiffany hardwear necklace in sterling silver. Or, alternatively, finding a similar u-link chain in gold (since the brand name isnt important to me and the price of the gold one from tiffany is painful).

I saw this today @lovedogs

@RMOO, I got these from a local jeweler. They’re 0.5 carat total weight and 12.5 mm in diameter. They really are a nice size while keeping it a bit understated. Thank you!

Thanks! I actually spoke to them about these, but the links are smaller than I want. But thanks for showing it, I appreciate it!!!

@MamaBee @mrs-b I found a pre-loved tiffany u-link chain in sterling silver and pulled the trigger. Price was significantly less painful than buying from tiffany directly, and this way I know I'll get the exact style/size I want. I was going back and forth with a bunch of Etsy vendors who have similar styles in 14k gold, but realized that no one has the same proportions as the tiffany one (which, from pics, is what I like). So fingers crossed that 1) it's authentic, and 2) that I like the style/size as much IRL as I do in pics!

Thanks! Nervous buying from ebay, but seller looked solid and stamps looked right. Plus I can always report "not as advertised" if it isnt authentic, which is always my anxiety w ebay.

I'm trying to find an 18kt 20-24" paperclip chain which isn't too thick (around 3mm). Sending myself nuts - I can't find ANYTHING even close to what I want!

Advertised as 14k but may be able to do 18k if you request it
