I have nothing to share. Sorry! My baby made a huge hole in my savings and I don't work now, so nothing sparkly for me this year!

neither can i.....i have wanted this ring for so long!  i even had gone so far as to find a company that makes a comparable but slightly different ring, i had planned to make the purchase for x-mas and then i was just browsing my favorite auction site recently and i came across the real deal, for even less than other brands version!!!!
way less at that.....i don't know how i'll sleep tonight!

Well, I didn't exactly buy it as a necklace, I bought it as beads. I fell in love with venetian glass and ordered some beads from Venice and made myself a necklace. I love it. Funny, I should brag like that but I wear it every chance I get. And I have to say, it stops traffic. This is the third one I made for myself. I have had people buy it off my neck. And fortunately I got carried away with buying the beads so I had enough to replace it each time. And, no, I'm not selling this one off my neck.



You guys it doesn't have to be diamonds. Jewelry. Earrings. Sterling.

My yellow heart earrings I bought last month. Love them. Love them. Love them.

Dear WM -

I adore your earrings!  What size are the hearts?  I wouldn't mind getting a set made for myself one day . . . I hope you consider imitation as the sincerest form of flattery!  I really, really love them!

Oh your necklace is PURTY, WM!  You are so talented!  I don't think I ever told everyone that I own one of your masterpieces - I'll have to post pics of that too.  And those earrings are TDF - I know they have made many here very envious!

Mikla, I bet you are loving that yellow baby - woot!

What a stunner of a ring Mikla!

WM - Those earrings get me every time, and I love your necklace.  Would it be possible to buy a clasp off of you?  I can't find someplace to buy pretty ones in only one piece packages.  I have a strand of funky peach pearls, but no clasp.

DJ - You've had a busy few months!  I love your brown set, and I can't believe we hadn't seen your redone pendant!  I love the triple band.  I need to get a colorless one to go with my ER and yellow band.

Sanchica - eeeekkkkk!  I'm waiting patiently!

Here is my last three month purchase.   angel

That's like looking at the shank and not the diamond for crying out loud--you're just not looking in the right spot.
Try it again and tell me what you think.

Here is something that I technically bough in that I put in on layaway at a pawn shop.  I sent it to the GIA at my own expense...I am in limbo in that the price was great if it was NOT heat treated, but high if it was heat treated...and it was...soooo, I am not obligated to buy it.

Hi...I've been really busy so was lurking and not posting.

Does re-setting count? If yes, here are:

1) 1.09 ct G, VV1 RB re-set in a diamond halo - sorry it's a bit dirty.



2) 1.2 ct RB (approx - don't have specs with me) set with 2 x 0.4 ct RBs



3) Ruby eternity band



4) 2.01 radiant set with 2 x 0.5 ct princess cuts

GIAGirl!!!!  Holy WOW!!!!!  What an awesome blue color - wowowowowowow!  I want to shop in your pawn shop!  I have never seen a beauty like that in any pawn shop I've ever been in!  Could you not negotiate the price down after you found out it was heated?

DiaDiva, girl you have been busy!  I shouldn't have expected anything else - I love the halo reset - the larger melee really give it a kick.  Heck, I love it all!

DJ, little missy did indeed get some sparklies. I'll grab a photo asap. DH put them in the safe and I can't crawl into the space where it's bolted at the moment (it's because I just had surgery, ok? Not, I repeat NOT because my butt is too big. No, that's not it at all, honest missus...)

GIAGirl, I love the sapphire and if you like it, grab it. Treated or not, it is a lovely colour and it looks to be nicely cut too. Will you keep that setting or go for a re-model?

here's mine!!!!  she just came in the mail today....hubby called to let me know that it arrived while i was still at work and my attempts to bribe him to bring it to me failed, i had to wait a whole 2 hours before i got home knowing that it was there! ack! 

stats: .47ct center
           G color
           VS2 clarity

ring: a whole lotta 950Pt.
        .73cttw melee

when i look through an H&A viewer i see nice crisp arrows but i couldn't get a pic of them, this was the best i can do although they are all mostly blurry, sorry!









this last pic shows it with a .5cttw shared prong band in 14k wg that i picked up a little while ago, i let the set as an alternate wedding set although i really wear either of these as rhrs.
