#JOTW Thank you, PS and GOG!!!!

[yssie]

I won these little guys in the very generous lottery PS held at the Vegas GTG in June. And it's confession time I must admit to having been wearing them since, and I'm only now posting them on PS My only excuse is having been away from PS altogether for several months...

A very, very big THANK YOU to PS - Andrey, Ella, Garry, Erika, and everyone else on the PS team - for hosting such a marvellous evening, and for supporting such a great community It was such a pleasure to put faces to so many PS names - and Jon and David are both lovely in-person I do hope there'll be another GTG next year because I have to say I'm already looking forward to it!

These earrings are my first precision-cut cushions and OMG they're sparklers!!!!

The colour is decadent - I don't know what colour they'd be termed officially, but the combination of light yellow stones in light yellow settings makes for such a warm, cozy, comforting look... and the faceting - crystal clear, acutely sharp, and meticulously precise - I can most definitely see why these stones are so popular

I just replaced my camera and these were my first subjects - and they were more than happy to preen and pose

And a couple of pics of my diamond stud family, I think these really highlight the buttery deliciousness

[yssie]

Thank you arkie, greg, swingirl, lknvrb, artdecolover, Virginia, derby, Monny, ame, Rose!!

missy - Thank you!! I was perfectly happy with two pairs of studs - I had no idea how much I'd love a third. They're totally different from anything else I own and I adore them for it!

Sharon - Thank you and oh, you know me well! I've got to get my act together first, though... baby steps

m2b - My stud family wants to grow up to be yours. Your WFs are my dream earrings... I would LOVE to see them in-person one day

lambskin - Thank you! I don't know what colour they are, but I will email to inquire. I'm curious too!

LLJ - The faceting really IS amazing. They're SO sparkly IRL - sharp, shard-ey flashes from every angle. I confess that I almost want to have them re-set into one of Grace's bangles so I can, y'know, gaze at them lovingly all day long...

june Thank you!! The faceting and the colour... I've fallen hard for light yellow! Much to DH's disgust, LOL!

Oh, Dandi, Thank you! That's such a sweet thing to say I remember first finding PS... I'm so glad I did, I really am

Trekkie - OMG, seriously! Keeping them to myself wasn't really the plan... life just insisted on getting in the way, I guess. I wish I had a better excuse, but I'm afraid I don't this time! Better late than never, though, right? Where's the slinky emoticon when you need it!?

woofmama ::SNORT:: I covet them, too

Alex - The YG really was a good idea!! Thank you, I agree that they highlight the colour in the best possible way

Hi Panda! Thank you!! And thank you for the compliment on the photos - I love taking them and I gotta admit I do love when people comment on them, I'm grinning at the monitor now

 

[diamondringlover]

Wow those are very pretty!

 

[Loves Vintage]

Beautiful earrings, Yssie! And, that's quite the bling family you have there!!

 

[Rhino]
