So gorgeous!! Does it open? I have one that opens and has a little gold Angel in it.
How pretty—such intricate detail! I know you are so focused and determined to save for the big “lifetime” pieces you are acquiring. I think it’s so nice that you paused to savor and mark the appointment. I hope that your meetings and the relationships built will be more “normal” in the coming year!
I was inspired by your warm-up paintings (I forgot what you call them!). I’m a speech-language pathologist who contracts for an agency. I recently decided to pick up a short-term evaluation slot in order to build my “slush fund” more aggressively. I don’t like to work this much on a regular basis, but I’m very thankful that I can do it when I’m looking for extra work! Lots of Zoom therapy calls... I sometimes wear my pearls, which I never do for in-person therapy! Hah!
A few weeks ago I purchased a pre-loved Fabergé Egg Pendant. It is 18K rose gold, diamonds and enamel.
It was part impulse buy, part practical purchase (I don't have a pendant necklace and really need one for Zoom meetings!) and part a marker of a big event in my life. I was recently appointed to the Board of Directors of a major American art organization. Its a big deal in my field and I wanted to mark this accomplishment with something pretty that I will wear and love for many years to come.
I bought the necklace off TheRealReal and it took a really long time to arrive!!! At first I was disappointed when I saw it because I was expecting it to be larger than it is. However, I decided to wear it for a day (tags and all) before deciding if I wanted to return it.
I ended up falling in love with it! I adore the soft rosy colors in both the egg and the chain. It is rose gold (even though TheRealReal said it was yellow gold.) I prefer rose gold, so that was a happy surprise! I wear a lot of peachy pink colors and this necklace looks lovely with a big part of my wardrobe.
Yay!
Here it is, the "Palais Tsarskoye Selo Pendant":
Thanks KristinTech!
Are you saving for a particular jewelry item? Or just want to build your Sparkly Fund in general so when the right piece presents itself you can strike?
I bet you look great in your pearls and your CBIs!
I had originally been saving for 1.5ish ctw studs, but now I’m rethinking that and wondering if I should go for a diamond bangle. Since I’m undecided. I just keep working and saving.
Please join me in congratulating @RunningwithScissors on this incredible piece, it's the Jewel of the Week! Congratulations on your new appointment as well!

That is beautiful! And in the zoomed out photo it looks to be the perfect size and scale as well. I love the how the rose gold complements the soft pink colour of the egg. How lovely to have have something so unique to mark your new appointment. Congratulations!
