Here is what I’m getting for Christmas, how about you?

I usually don't get presents for anything so it's quite a kurfuffle for me that I have two this year! My PC monitor was five/six years old and starting to glitch/had burn in. So, I picked up an OLED monitor and Iove it. A jewel of a screen!
The second is the double head snake band from Ooza with the birthstones of both of my kids as eyes that I've mentioned every so often, off and on, for a few years. That should be here in a week or so.
It's the biggest present haul in years. Just for me!8-)

i want to see the snake ring! I have a large snake tattoo on my leg and an ouroboros tattoo on my back, i love snakes scales

It was this adorable little two headed snake baby! I love it and the detailing is amazing. I'm going to make a solitaire mounting hopefully sometime next year using the same artist/ motif.

year i know
sigh

i might get a wee present from work =)2
 
Friday is the day assuming I’m home to sign for it! This has been quite the process and believe me @Daisys and Diamonds @Inked, if I didn’t have to get this ring out of consignment, I wouldn’t be getting anything either! ;)
 
Just in time to ring in the new month! I forgot how pretty she is and although I had her sized for my right hand, she is a bit loose but I’m thinking probably a perfect fit in warmer months.

Anyways, here is what we really care about, please excuse how dirty my other rings are, I literally tore the box open and threw the ring on right before school pickup.

Oh and if you want to nerd out over specs:

Wow -she is so gorgeous!
This ring was meant to be yours....she was patiently waiting for you all along!
 
@stracci2000, I agree, it seems like it was just meant to stay so that’s fine, I’m not mad about it.

It is visually a lot of ring so I’m probably just going to wear a band on my ring finger instead of a stack. Otherwise it is a bit obnoxious :cool2:
 
Sooooo beautiful!! Glad she's back with you! Great pics and I love your engagement ring as well!

Thank you so much! I do love the old cuts and finding that engagement ring was one of the highlights of my collecting. Worn all together it is a bit much even for me :lol:
 
Looks fabulous!! Glad you got the ring resized and are keeping it.

Thank you! I should have just kept it to begin with but absence does make the heart grow fonder for sure.

Totally agree with this! You let it and it was meant to come back to you. It looks amazing! And I think your hand totally rocks it

Aw thanks! I’m really enjoying it, now we wait for yours ;)
 
@ItsMainelyYou, I absolutely adore your snakes, I think I said that in my head but didn’t actually post. It can’t be just me that does that right? :twisted2:

Haha, timely! I do it almost on the daily, doll! :lol:

In fact, did it this afternoon with my DD, while having a random conversation- I looked at her and said, "Well, what do you think?" and she said, "Mom you know you said that whole last bit in your head, right? Because I didn't hear any of that."

I think it looks perfect on your hand! I don’t think it’s too long at all! It’s so pretty!

So gorgeous! The thought and detail that went into this sculptural little masterpiece! Wear it in good health and happy holidays!
 
@oldcutclubmember, thank you and I think at first the style threw me off because it is vertical, so there wouldn’t be enough real estate. Sometimes it’s good to be wrong, just don’t tell my husband I said that!

Thank you @Pinkmartini87, I don’t know if all dinner rings from this time period are made by hand, but if you look really closely you can see the slight differences between the two sides. The craftsmanship is quite remarkable.
 
I have no idea when my ring arrived but my husband told me tonight that he had it! He let me see it to make sure the resize worked out and back it goes into the box until Christmas.

I am in love. It’s so sparkly and the stones are the perfect proportions for my index finger. I took a few pictures with my bad phone camera before handing it back to my husband. My ering needs to be badly cleaned, please don’t let it distract from the main event!

@sweetpea&babycorn Uh, dirty or not, that engagement ring is to die for. Love the new ring, the diamonds are really pretty and love that engraving detail on the shoulders too :kiss2:
