My little ouro band came and I absolutely love it. It's acting as my 'mother's' ring with the birthstones eyes. There is a crazy amount of detail, even on the little individual scales!
I love miniature things, they make me happy
I'm going to make a solitaire with one of my spinels to make a set with these little guys next year. Did I say I love it? I love it

I need more blings, like dangling earrings and bracelets/bangles!

DK

I was in a rush to go out, and shall provide more information.

I thought I have enough earrings, bracelets and bangles.

However, with the formal wear, I need longer earrings as the tops I have are collarless and suit longer earrings.

I have a pair of pear shaped Aquamarine and a pair of Petalite pears that I bought from AJS Gems waiting to be set into earring drops. I am also on the look out for more pearl drops.

I shall have some longer dangles to be make, either in earth-mined diamonds or LGDs, and some hoops once I have found the length and shape that I like.

As for bangle and bracelets, I currently have 4 earth-mined diamonds ones: a charm bracelet that I made myself; a single MRB bangle; a 6-stone carré cut ID style bracelet; and a tennis bracelet.

A new Greek key bracelets with paved diamonds in the 3 main sections will be arriving soon.

I would like to have more bracelets and bangles that I could mix and match and stack.

The detail is amazing, and the design is so unique! Love also your gold middle band.

Thanks it's rather remarkable really, for such a small thing. The snake is from Ooza Jewelry and I'm entirely too excited about it!
The middle band I also love and is another Etsy find from Emma Krafft Jewelry. She has several great bands.
Have to say, Etsy artists have done me solid.

I am considering the Tiffany Metro discontinued ring (may buy second hand) but I am curious if A. its actually comfortable between the fingers and B. what is the prong style? Will it eat prongs of other bands? Does anyone have a close up picture.

Just bought this. What a beautiful stone for a fabulous price! Am going to have a small pendant made to celebrate 40 years since I met my husband. <3

When we got engaged, we used my deceased mother's engagement ring diamond. So DH didn't actually buy me any diamond till years later. Then - just for fun and before the diamond obsession really took hold, we came across a company called Good Old Gold, and DH - just sort of testing the waters - bought me a delightful little K SI1 .32ct OEC. Ultimately, we put it in a necklace for our 25th wedding anniversary, which was made from my melted down engagement ring (which was incredibly flimsy and really couldn't be worn at that point), my melted down wedding ring - which had revealed to us that I am allergic to the nickel so often used in white gold alloy, and DH's wedding ring - which had snapped shortly prior to that. The K SI1 was perfect, as it was my first initial, and we decided that SI1 - 'slightly imperfect' - suited me to a T!

Fast forward a bunch of years and it will be 40 years in March since DH and I met, and we're back with Jon, buying this gorgeous K SI1 .8ct AV OEC for another pendant. I'm thrilled to own this diamond and it will be added to what I call my wedding necklace and our original little diamond. <3

I bought a bunch of stuff from Bluenile the past week or two. Eeek... thankfully there were sales and I spent well within my small budget.

2 rings on the index finger; rubies and tiny diamonds in rose gold, and the bottom ring is also rose gold with various quartz. The chain ring is from etsy back in 2018 or 16 when I first found this forum. I think the rest were from last year's Bluenile sale.



Rose quartz in rose gold with teeny tiny diamonds. Love this, it changes in every light.



The trinity ring necklace on the bottom. Sorry I meant to take off the unmentionable item but the chains are a bit tangled in the back. I'll have to wear it like this until one of my kids help untangle them lol.

I love love the Cartier trinity but, alas, I don't have the thousands for it. This was $160 last Friday. It's hollow and light, which is perfect because I don't want a solid heavy necklace. I think I might have to find a new chain for it. Perhaps that would stop the tangled mess lol.



I also bought silver aquamarine earrings (but they photograph like dirty grayish stones) and a pair of earrings that have "LO" on one earring and "VE" on the other earring. Very odd looking on. I might not keep them.

I wore it all today to pick up a red velvet cake for my son's birthday and my husband said it was a bit much. Lol But I don't care! Now I'm looking for rings in emerald, sapphire and amethysts. Or any stone in green, blue and purple. Next year of course

Is the necklace in between love and the bezel from DBL?

 

[GreenPapaya]

@ProfessorBling oh no that's the unmentionable (lightbox lab diamond). It's my fav necklace and I haven't really taken it off since I've gotten it. Probably why it's all tangled up with the bezel.

All your new pieces are lovely, but I adore the ruby and diamond band.
Gonna check out Bluenile to see if it's still available.

My husband gifted me with this beauty as an early Christmas gift the sapphires are so hard to photograph, and the diamonds sparkle it is a very heavy platinum setting

Purchased my first preloved ring from SinCityFinds (0.39 ct center OEC in 18k WG). I wanted to see if I liked older diamonds and needless to say…I love it! It’s a sweet little ring I will use as a pinky ring - I am so happy with the way it twinkles!

My hubby got me this gorgeous 1.64 J VS1 OEC from @kathley in a Maytal Hannah platinum setting and a beautiful BG platinum diamond band from @acezarra I think it's a beautiful set! The diamonds in the band are 11 diamonds of 5 pointers.

The two rings are gorgeous. They look like they were made for each other.

Some auction finds! Local auction house has a couple fine art and jewelry auctions every year. These were smaller items so I got them pretty cheap. The smaller bracelet is 1.1 ctw ( larger bracelet not from auction ). The earrings are 1.5 ctw. I wasn’t sure about the earrings because my piercing must be on the low side but they are growing on me.

So I couldn’t just get one pair, but two pairs, a 1ctw in YG and a 2ctw pair in WG! I wish they have 2ctw in yellow gold, but that’s not an option. I am beyond thrilled with the quality and definitely the prices on these. They are super sparkly, and must mention the incredible return policy so I can test both out. I am allergic to WG but i have been wearing them the whole morning, so far no issue.

I think the 1 ctw is super versatile, perfect for work place or just any casual occasion. The locking mechanism needs some getting used to, but is very secured. I think they modified the design. For the price I highly recommend either one depending on your lifestyle.

Wow!! So gorgeous. I wish I could buy nice earrings. I always loose one no matter what so I gave up.

I picked up this piece on clearance. I got so lucky. Sterling silver 1 carat diamond band. I only paid $50 the diamonds aren’t ps vendor quality but for the price, it makes a great right hand ring.

I know it’s incredibly hard to photograph, but by any chance can you send ear pictures?? So gorgeous!!

Not a problem at all. Apologize for the horrible pictures as I have an old phone but the hoops do sparkle like crazy IRL. They are great quality, I love them, still trying to decide if I want to keep both.

when i have time I will add these to the Costco thread along with my other Costco finds.

I LOVE pinky rings, they are so cute. I wear one every day.
