Check out these gorgeous pieces for auction today!!!!!

And if you want to see how big that pear necklace is (seriously - I almost swooned), there''s a movie of Katie Couric wearing it on msn.com!!!!! I''ll try to post the link here but if it doesn''t work, go to msn.com and it''s in the video highlights. HOLY MOLY!!!

OMG that necklace is RIDICULOUS!!! I''m drooling all over myself!!!!

 

[njc]

I know... i have so much work to finish up, but i cant stop looking at!

So why does Christie''s say circular cut diamond instead of round cut? Just a fancier way of saying it?

blueroses, want to share it???

That has our names all over it, Lol!!!

 

[blueroses]

Lisa, I FULLY concur!!! SOLD!!!

I think that baby could be a PS co-op piece....we could share it (and the armed guard I''m sure it comes with!!!) among us like those women w/ the necklace in People Mag!!

 

[njc]

Thats what i was thinking we could do with that necklace!

 

[FireGoddess]

Count me in!!! I wouldn''t throw the necklace OR the ring out of bed!

I could learn to share.

(Though I''d probably have to recite Mara''s mantra..."share...share with batman.")

 

[Kaleigh]

Der - totally missed that!

I tried to copy a picture of her wearing the necklace from the movie, but it didn''t work. I don''t know how she manages to keep her head upright, but I''d LIKE TO TRY.

I wish I have 2.5 million dollars, although I suspect it will go a lot higher than that. I just love the look of D, FL diamonds.
