Favorite Jewelry Catalogs

[Diamonds4Me]

OK, I was just curious as to what everyone''s favorite jewelry catalogs are that you get in the mail. The only one I get is
Ross-Simons but I''ve never went and looked for any others. So, which ones do you subscribe to that makes you drop everything you''re doing just to flip through them when they arrive?

 

[Jennifer5973]

You know, come to think of it, I get Ross-Simons (which always has such pretty things--I am soooo tempted) and then just Tiff''s seasonal booklet, and a bunch of stuff from the local chain stores...but that''s it.

Nelson Rarities, and Sotheby''s Sale catalogs! They don''t come often, but when they do I can''t even get back into the house before I start going through them!

When I get one of those, the phone doesn''t get answered, dinner doesn''t get prepared, dogs go hungry, etc. etc.....

[IrishEyes]

Hmm, come to think of it, I don''t get anything!!!

I''m waiting for my new subscription to W jewelry to arrive though....where is that damn thing?!

 

[Ann]

Oh, this is dear to my heart.

Borsheims

Ross Simons

Lux Bond & Green

Donoho''s (local)

IW Marks (local)

Tiffany

Heavenly Treasures

I will order any info I can from web sites. One of my favs are the brochures from Vivid Collection and JB Star.
I always cruise through the high end magazines and check every ad out.

Hi! My favorite is the Tiffany Blue Book that comes out in November. I''ve kept them for every year since 1979. My other favorites are Bailey Banks & Biddle''s catalogs (you can view them online, too) and J. E. Caldwell''s catalogs.

Jennifer, Ross-Simons has the prettiest stuff, don''t they? I''m still pining over that multicolored sapphire bracelet outlined with pave...and the matching necklace and ring

Slightly off topic...I emailed Crislu and they sent me a link to a website where you can purchase their stuff directly and its been under construction for two months now

They''re such a tease!




IrishEyes, me too! I can''t wait to get it! The fall issue is supposed to come out next month? I was kind of hoping it would arrive before my trip to Colorado. Give me something to gaze at for the 3hr 20 min. flight

Guess I''ll settle for a Town & Country Magazine....Might as well be a catalog, lol.


Ann, you''ve given me something to scour for. Thanks

Madam Bijoux..I didn''t know they sent those out..shows how much I know

But how cool that you''ve saved every issue for so long. I bet its fun to go back and look at how things have changed over the years.

You can veiw their catalongs online too but it isnt as fun. Link to their catalogs
I also get the tiffany catalog. But that is it.
I love James Avery and I wish they had a store close to me. I am soo jealous that my sister lives in Texas (for other reasons too) and can browse through their store anytime she likes.

 

[FireGoddess]

Any jewelry catalog that comes across my face gets my full and undivided attention.

Even if they''re from stores that don''t carry the best diamonds, I love to look at what''s new in terms of their jewelry design.

I only get Tiffany''s and Macy''s (I gotta scan in the front page of that one for the "swirl girl" thread...!!!) on a regular basis, and signed up for the W jewelry magazine subscription.

When I walk through the mall, I even pick up the flyers from the stores in there as well. I just love looking at jewelry!!!

 

[Diamonds4Me]

Thanks for the link, Matatora. I really like what I''m seeing. I''m going to sign up for that one

FireGoddess, I''m terrible about that. I can''t help but pick up those flyers in the malls. I know I''m not going to get anything but I just can''t help myself. I''ve never even ordered jewelry through a catalog before. I just love looking through them and seeing all the different styles and such. I probably have some stashed away somewhere from five years ago that are tattered and really need to go in the trash. I sound like a pack-rat

[MissAva]

[Diamonds4Me]

Well now I really can''t wait to get that James Avery catalog in.

 

[MissAva]

Oh Miss Deb! I know just the one you are talking about....that is a really lovely peice.

 

[Mara]

Hee hee I LOVE getting Tiffany''s catalog and looking at all the new pieces and then dreaming up what I want to make myself...

 

[Kaleigh]

These aren''t catalogs but magazines. I love getting JCK, and of course my Town and Country magazine always loaded with serious bling!!!! JCK is a trade magazine and stands for Jewlers circular keystone for those that don''t know.

 

[Diamonds4Me]

I''m addicted to Town & Country Magazine.

Everytime I''m at a Dr.''s office or anywhere there is a waiting room I''m sniffing out the T&C Magazine. Those poor people in there probably think I''m some kind of fruit cake.

lol.

 

[AGBF]

This is the bracelet I bought for Christmas, Matatora. Since you have seen it, I think you will agree with me that this picture doesn''t do it justice!

Deborah

 

[MissAva]

Of Course it doesnt! Each little peice has such detail and the qultiy of the workmanship

.
I bought one for one of the leaders in my RCIA class. When it came it was just soo hard not to want one for me too. I am acutally thinking of getting that exact bracelt for my future MIL. She was one of my biggest supporters when I wanted to become Catholic.

AGBF, I love that bracelet!

It reminds me of the Noah's Ark version that I see a lot of people wearing around here.


ETA: Tacori E-ring, I'm already counting the days 'till mine get here
