Eye candy coming!!

A case full of yellows!

Oval, anyone?

PINKS!  Doesn't show up well here, but the variation in the pink colors were very interesting - some more peachy, some more pinky. Then there looked to be some from the Argyle tender perhaps, intense purple/pinks.

Cushions!!!

GiNORMOUS Yellow with traps

One more of that halo - which I tried on btw. It was only $56,000. 

Check out the sapphires behind it in this one.

And th th th th that's all folks!  Hope you all enjoyed!

IHADP, thank you!  I've already scrolled up and down twice... I'm SURE I'll be at it all day.  I must choose my favorite, you know (although the pendant has my vote for now). I'm surprised at the ARMY of Asscher halos... I guess there is no question regarding what is "in"... halos, for sure.  Did store staff know that you were taking these shots? Or, were you using your spy cam? 

Oh Boy!  Oh Boy!  Oh Boy!  Oh Boy!  Oh Boy!  Oh Boy!  Oh Boy!  Oh Boy!  Oh Boy!

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!

Help!  I can't think straight!

I have only 2 coherent things to say:

IHADP, THANK YOU for all these pics - WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!   

Secondly, do you remember the center stone of the ring to the left in this picture?  OMG!!!!   

Great minds, Trinkette.  Great minds.   

We're sickly great!  Or greatly sick.  Hmmmmmm..... oh who cares, we're happy aren't we?


Neither T. These came from two different stores. I walked around snapping away right out in the open like a clueless tourist until staff told me to cut it out! At which point I apologized profusely and put the camera away.  Was surprised at one shop how long it took until they spotted me, while the other "caught" me almost immediately and the giant security guy followed me around for awhile.

The sales lady there seemed extremely miffed at my obviously low class cluelessness.  I was highly entertained by the whole thing, frankly, since I set out to snap away until I got hollered at, LOL!

 Of course I didn't have on ANY of my sparkie goodies either since I was traveling; wonder if she'd have looked down her nose any less if I'd worn, say... CHICHI?

That case with the custom halo was in a section of colored gemstones, and there were all sorts of incredible colors in there...rubies, emeralds and sapphires of course, but also some amazing orange spessarites and other incredibly vivid colors.
I think that one to the side of the halo was a ruby, but I'm not certain. The halo pic was the last one I snapped before getting busted or I'd have kept going in that case awhile for sure!

  Uh-oh. I'd really LOVE to have that ring!  What a gorgeous color and cut. DL, is this a sapphire?  If so, heat is such a "normal" process for sapphire that I can't imagine why a merchant, even a frou frou one, wouldn't carry a beautiful stone like this, DL. Gosh, I couldn't have made it out of the store without trying this one on!
