For those who know of my weakness....yes...I'm a jewellery addict...I love rings in particular...here is a shot of all the rings that I currently have excluding my pear.

I had done a hand shot about 2 years back and at the request of another diamond addict from another board, took an updated shot. I was in for a little shock...it was almost impossible to fit all my rings onto the fingers of my left hand (I need longer fingers!) but in the end I managed to squeeze them on and in some pictures you can almost see my fingers keeling over from the "burden"...hahaha...

Anyway, here is the shot from 2 years back as well as the current handful...

In the before shot, you can spot my pear in its previous solitaire setting

I don't think your link worked, but given the description of your rings, I CANNOT wait to see this picture!  I'm guessing that you must be talking about 25-30 rings? Holy cow!

I wasn't even close - that looks like 40 rings (minus one pear)!!!  How do you decide what to wear every day?!! Is that a pink/lavender diamond on your index finger or something else?  They are just spectacular, you lucky lady! 

k, going back to drool somemore!

Hi Michi...thanks..

The pear on my index finger is a pink kunzite flanked with 2 small pears...it's around 9 or 10 carats...can you imagine the priceof it if it were a diamond?Huh? I'll try to post more closeups of the rings...most of my pics are in my other laptop at work so I'll post what I've got here on my home laptop...

Here is a picture of my a 5-stone flower ring...I bought it in Hong Kong 7 years ago..what I loved about it was the floating effect...the diamonds look like they're floating but that's also the reason I don't wear it...I'm afraid the diamonds will fall off.

This one is of my yellow trillion diamond around 0.65ct I think...I don't usually remember the specs after I buy them.

And this one is my first upgrade from DH...it's a 1.1 ct RB...

You must take an hour just to select what ring you want to wear. That is great and hilarious at the same time.

I must confess...although I have more than 40 rings....I only wear my 2.48RB, radiant/assher band and 1.1RB on a regular basis....the addiction is to add to the collection and admire them rather then to actually wear them. Sick, eh? I should sell some of them since I never wear them but I feel too precious about them to ever sell them...what a mess!

Here is a coral ring that used to belong to my mum. I swiped it from her since she hasn't worn it in over 20 years. I have yet to wear this ring out of the house though...The ring is probably 40 years old.

Here it is...

 Shocked Are you sure you counted correctly?  I really do think that there is more than 40 rings on your finger!   I have palpitations looking at those pics.  love7  Just when I think I have gone over the edge with my addiction, someone wonderful like you comes along and confirms that I am right where I belong!  icon_thumleft   4 4 4 4   I really can appreciate how one can admire jewelry so.  They are like artwork....accept you are able to wear them!! 4 4 4 ~Ronda

Thank you, thank you, thank you....I'm glad my "obsession" can be used as part of your bling buying strategy...but I'm not letting my DH read any of your comments or I'll be put on a real bling ban...

Here are more close up shots of some of the rings...

Here is a personal favourite...I just love the orange on this spessartite ring...

Also included is a green tourmaline ...you can probably tell from the similart style to the spess that I was going through a phase...

Here is a 0.77ct RB ring that my parents gave me...again still going through that same phase as you can tell from the setting...these are all RHRs although I hardly wear any rings beyond my e-ring and w-ring...

Here are more coloured rings....

This one is a pink tourmaline that posted by accident earlier....it's more than 9 carats and I hate to admit it but it's a bit big even for me...and my general philosophy for bling is that BIG IS USUALLY BETTER!

Here is a pink kunzite flanked by 2 diamond pears...I think the kunzite is 8 or 9 carats...cut deep for the colour....

This 3-stone ring is blue topaz...

Followed by this marquise diamond ring with a orangy-red sapphire centre...it was originally set with an aquamarine but it was a bit washed out for me...as the aquamarine was not great quality...

Wow, DiaD!  Your rings are just spectacular!  I just love that pink kunzite and the spess ring and the pearl rings, all the rings!!  OMG!  Just so beautiful.  You must rotate them more!  They are too beautiful to sit in your jewel box!

Here are some pearl rings...

This is a golden pearl ring...the pearl is around 14mm (I think, can't really remember but it's quite large)...

And a peacock pearl ring plus a white mabe pearl ring...forgot to take a picture of my black pearl ring, sorry...so not a complete set of pictures of my pearl rings...

I absolutely love the spess. and the kunzite ring!  The pearl rings are gorgeous too.  You hardly ever see anyone wear pearl rings!  I was wondering if it was because they are so fragile and could easily be damaged by hitting them against something!   What a truly  ARTSY collection you have!    sultan~Ronda
