So much bling!!! One of these days I’m gonna have to do this.

 

[RockOnReen]

Great pictures -- thanks for sharing!

 

[Keeliamira]

Mmmmmm...diamonds with my coffee...yessss Thank you for posting these delicious pics!!

 

[KristyDarling]

So. Much. Eye. Candy. Thanks for sharing this and making my Saturday morning!! Anup's ring stopped me in my tracks -- that setting is utterly gorgeous and the facets are insane!! (I agree though that the exposed girdle would stress me out.) The rosie pear is stunning on you!! And wow, those OWD bands -- I *adore* the yellow gold one. The halo by Caysie is a showstopper, of course. I'm totally with you -- someone needs to get that delicious asscher/emerald cut!!

LOVE the solitaire setting you're considering for Bubbalah!!! Love. The scallop prongs are so elegant! Do you have a shot of it from the top? Do you think you'll miss the finger coverage going from the halo to a soli?

@missy great pictures... I wish I could like rosecut diamonds ... maybe someday.

I think ALL the rings and stones are beautiful, what a fun time.. keep those pictures coming.. especially of Bubbalah!

 

[MamaBee]

A cape diamond I just liked a lot but I think because it is so large. I am a size ho. But I also love the contrast of the color with the whiter halo. Lovely.

A size ho!

Thank you for sharing your pictures of all the gorgeous bling @missy I’ve seen the pictures of some of those pieces on IG and it’s great to see them again (through your eyes!) I’m not sure but is that the EW Margot that you’re considering? Bubbelah would look amazing in it, but she would in any setting, really.
Now THAT is what I would consider a really fun day! Your DH is a really great sport!

These are all such glorious pics - thank you for sharing @missy!

WOW. I love that one too! But I am also a fellow size ho.

Anup’s piece is spectacular but pretty much everything he has is!

Glad you got to visit sweet Adam and his always beautiful wares! Love that OMC- looks so elegant in that double claw setting. Beautiful asscher as well. And the bands!! I think I need one....

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Wow, so much fun! I don't know what I'd do with all that jewelry in one place! I'd probably stay there all day every day it was open! I'd also probably be too overwhelmed to buy anything! lol! Thanks for all the great pictures!

 

[Bonfire]

Thank you for *taking* us along on this expedition! I love all the pictures!
Thank you for sharing!

 

[aac2013]

Thanks for sharing!!! I soooo want to attend this show one day.

 

[LLJsmom]

Found another bling pic...an alternating french cut OEC eternity band from Singlestone at JbG..she has it at the show with her. It's beautiful.

I love this band.

 

[LLJsmom]

Just to add a couple of pics from OWD.

Oval cushion is very pretty.

MK next to an I OEC.

I was looking so forward to the kids being asleep so I could sit down with a cuppa and peruse this thread! Thank you so much for sharing @missy !

 

[marcy]

Gorgoeus bling, Missy. What a fun show.

 

[m-2-b]

Just going through all my photos right now and not sure what I shared but here is another of the darling antique asscher/emerald cut I shared before. I really love this one...but I am a one ring girl so it's up for grabs. It is the most darling yummy ring! My photo taking skills do not do it or any of the bling I am sharing justice.

Love this asscher-emerald cut as well out of all the bling! So icy white!

 

[Ally T]

And will also share some photos from the day before from our visit at Adam's OWD and Yekutiel at IDJ.

I love this OMC and I love this setting so much. GORGEOUS.

Love this. Do you remember the specs & price?

 

[Ally T]

And these are amazing too...antique stone and setting original to it with tiny OECs down the shank. It is amazbling. The stone is a cross between an antique emerald cut and antique asscher. So sorry the pics are not the greatest.

This is so amazing! It’s just my sort of ring! Do you remember any details?

Thanks @KristyDarling! I will have to go through my pics and see if I have a photo. My phone is being difficult because it thinks I take too many photos.
The OWD bands are so reasonably priced IMO and chunkalicious IRL. The yellow gold band is buttery delicious.

I think I might miss the coverage the halo offers but at heart I am a solitaire girl and I miss the ease of cleaning my solitaire. I am a low maintenance person in almost every way and there are too many prongs on Bubbalah now for really simple cleaning. Turning her around on the subway under gloves is challenging because of the size. I am wearing mittens for roominess lol. It's OK now but not sure in the warmer weather how to ensure she is not out in view while traveling public transportation. And I think when I reset her she will shine even more in a more open setting though I have to say I do love her in this setting and her facets pop like crazy so I am nervous to change her but ultimately I think she might be even more beautiful in a setting more suited to her.

Here is a face up photos of a setting I am in love with from the Erika Winters site. What I truly want but will probably not be successful in finding is a true antique setting. That is what my heart wants. I might have to have a setting made but I really want a genuine antique setting and for a large OEC that is proving to be challenging. In the meantime here is a face up photo from Erika of one of her (so many) gorgeous settings.

 

[missy]

Love this. Do you remember the specs & price?

Hi @Alex T I don't remember with any accuracy I'm sorry! I am guessing she is about 3.5 carats (could be totally wrong) and I believe the price is very reasonable as she is (IIRC) an ST or UV color. Just contact Adam via email and he will let you know for sure. I remember thinking that is very reasonable. She is gorgeous. If only I had smaller hands I would be happy with that diamond. She's a stunner.

This is so amazing! It’s just my sort of ring! Do you remember any details?

Gosh I should have taken notes for sure but I was mesmerized by all the amazbling inventory Adam (always) has...I believe this antique asscher/emerald cut is a high color for an old cut and the OECs lining the shank are freaking amazing too. I mean TDF bright and chunkalicious. I think the asscher/emerald is between 2-3 carats but again I could be wrong. Contact Adam and he will give you all the details. The price I do remember and it was about 20K I believe. I thought oh that would make the most beautiful engagement ring for the bride who wants a ring with soul, personality, charm and uniqueness. The diamond and the setting together is a winning combo and a genuine antique all the way.

MK holds her own with the highest color stones!

Aww @diamondseeker2006 you must come to this show next year and I promise I won't let you get overwhelmed. We have a system and are very methodical and organized (one of the very few things I am organized about lol) and we take our time and do not allow ourselves to become overblinged emotionally. That is also why we do more than one day generally. Hehe.

Love this asscher-emerald cut as well out of all the bling! So icy white!

Oh she is very white. Everything about her is white and bright and beautiful and you know I love that it is a complete antique in every way. A swoon worthy ring but I admit we saw many swoon worthy pieces over the last few days. One year you and @diamondseeker2006 need to join us at the show. You know there *is* a show in July....just saying!

 

[yennyfire]

Ohh, what fun! And what gorgeous pieces you got to play with!! Thanks for taking the time to share them with us!!

 

[sunnyside74]

Such a fun fun show! Went today and got to meet Grace in person for the first time after 4+ years of buying bling from her long distance. She is as lovely in person as she is over the phone & email - she even let us try on Sonny & Cher (goals!)... excuse the out of focus pic, but for size comparison with Cher & my (tiny!) 7.1 mm stud, LOL.

 

[missy]

Love them on you @sunnyside74! Haha Sonny and Cher rock. LLJsmom and I had another blingtastic day and I am exhausted and heading to bed now and I will post more pics tomorrow.

For now here’s a photo of Sonny and Cher on my ears from today’s visit. We all need to do a timeshare with these blingy beauties.




And the lovely Grace in the background. Wearing the ever blingy Olsens. Wowza. That's a whole lotta beautiful bling.

 

[missy]

Good morning all! Anyone want more bling pics? Any pricescopers who attended the JAWS who has photos to share please share! Thank you to @sunnyside74 for sharing the Sonny and Cher photos. Wowza.

First up more photos of Erika Winter's delicious settings for those of you @KristyDarling and a couple of others who requested these pics.







Those swoopy prongs.

 

[missy]

Next for @Mamabean another gorgeous cluster. 4.37 ctw. Do not remember the color but it's warm but very yummy with the antique cluster halo. From Grace if you are interested.

 

[missy]

Next are two amazbling french cut bands ooh la la. From Grace and Erika.







One of them with Bubbalah. Sigh.

 

[missy]

Rose cut cluster earring goodness oh my...again I was blown away by some of the rose cuts we saw. Never saw the appeal but now I do!
