From Sea to Shining Sea! An Election Day bling thread

[KristinTech]

In honor of Election Day in the U.S. on Tuesday, show your bling alongside US landmarks or regional beauty. What you consider “blah” or mundane views may be unusual and inspiring to others!

Political posts can be found in Hangout—this thread is for bling only!

My submission—amber waves of grain and an actual white picket fence! Coming to me from the mountains and valleys of Idaho all the way to the plains of the Midwest—0.80 H VVS2 CBI from High Performance Diamonds!

Extra credit for sports stadiums—for some reason, those venues are incredible for bling!

That's easy. My favorite locale. The ocean. From sea to shining sea.




and with my very favorite person in the world.

Here’s one pic from the marshes of Charleston, SC (where my parents live) and one from the Washington Nationals’ baseball park.

Well, I can't do a sports stadium, but here's my own American icon - the classic 50's diner! I have breakfast here most days of the week; 2 scrambled eggs with sauteed mushrooms and 2 cups of coffee.







And my newest ring - firstly, on another American icon!







And one last one, so you can see a glimpse of another American icon; New England in the fall! You can see just a hint of the spectacular color palette through the window.

I can't go outside today, so no landmark, but surely the ring box with engagement ring is an icon! My James Allen red ring box and with white and blue, my Red White & Blue!

In honor of this thread, taken just a few minutes ago from my office on this rainy election Tuesday!

A little red, white and blue with the Hancock Building.



Uni with the Sears Tower (or whatever they're calling it these days).




My "I voted" wristband from the polling place.

 

[mrs-b]

Now THAT'S iconic!

 

[Dee*Jay]

This stadium pic probably doesn’t count since my bling isn’t included, but I took this when TR and I were at the Northwestern / Notre Dame game on Saturday night. (He and I both went to NU, although I was done the year he started.) How those parachuters get the flag perfectly landed on the field ever time is beyond me!

LOL Mrs. B, I've got some decent views here. The one of the Hancock is the view from my actual office. I had to go into the lobby to get the Sears Tower because it's on the opposite side of the building. To the receptionist's credit, she didn't even bat an eye while I was standing over by the window with my hand up in the air taking pics!

Hahahaha my attempt for this Election Day.

I don't know what I am more envious of ~ the bling or that VIEW ~ both are awesome!!

Here’s my Midwest rainy Election Day red, white and blue stack!

Lol! Maybe the receptionist plays here. If I saw someone doing that I wouldn't bat an eyelash either because I do the same thing.

In the lights of Meijer!

In honor of my first time voting as a brand new citizen! (not my ACA's best photo, but oh well)

 

[junebug17]

Love all the eye candy in this thread!

This is my sapphire ring in AT&T Stadium in Dallas, I thought it looked purdy under the bright lights...but it doesn't show the stadium so I added another pic!

That was an exciting game! (Notre Dame grad here.) How fun to be at it!

 

[Un_Petit_Rayon_de_Soleil]

Definitely not a clear picture but my Anjolie ring made her first election day debut !

 

[KristinTech]

Has early voting started anywhere?! Bumping this thread for more bling/voting/landmark pics over the next two months!

(And I’m giggling, since my OP said that political posts could be found in Hangout—apparently we were semi-civilized then, hah!).

My 46th bday will be on Election Day this year. Fun fact: I voted for President on my 18th birthday! What are the odds?

 

[KristinTech]

I’m also going to confess that I didn’t know how to take pics of my diamond two years ago! I’ll do better for this election cycle.

I’m so glad you bumped this thread, and I look forward to seeing pictures of people’s bling with their local landmarks. I’ve taken many road trips across America and I’m always inspired by our country’s diverse natural beauty!

I need to find some Route 66 landmarks for this thread this fall! Also, harvest season for soybeans and corn will start soon!

What a lovelly and unexpected thread

Adding my wedding stack— 1.01 F SI1 oval with two anniversary bands. American craft breweries have really gone nutso in our area! A big one that gets distributed far and wide nowadays is Destihl. Has anyone tried any of their beer varieties? Here are three of my faves... Amra, Vertex, and Strawberry Blonde (sticker).

We have taken some pretty massive road trips as a family through the years... anyone spot a bumper sticker from your area of the US (or Canada)?

Cartier trinity mother’s ring! Election Day on my bday this year.... 46! The kids’ names are engraved with a heart on the inside of each band. They argued over all wanting the yellow gold.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Note tp self. Must remember to wear bling when we do our early votes once the polls open

Do you know how many pages i had to go back through to find this thread!
About 16 !!!

So today is the NZ general election
We have really strick rules about what we can and can't do on election day
all political advertising is banned and no social media posts about who one voted for - basically anything that may change a person's mind how they will vote today

this year my prevouse safe seat has become alarmingly marginal so we have both been in to do our civic duty as every vote will count

i wore my grandma's ER and mum's eternity my dad gave her when i was born plus my great grandma's wedding ring and mum's '80's emerald - because i know all those people vote like me !!

I also had my covid ring on my index finger -silver, peridot and white saphires (that now needs a clean) i wear it to remind myself not to touch my face when out and about
