What a lovely Christmas Eve treat! Thanks for sharing!
 
Omg @icy_jade I saw the lavender ring on his Instagram and swooned!!!

I'm going to guess the glowy translucent pair. Left pair of earrings under the rubies.
 
Yes the ring is mine! Fastest finger! Can’t wait to collect it.

The color of that lavender cabochon is just fabulous, I can see why it caught your eye! :love:

I'm not sure if the strong green jadeite halo is adding to the overall beauty of the piece or diverting attention away from the star of the show?

Hmm I know what you mean and typically I don’t like to mix colors too but am fine with how this one looks.

In fact now I think the purple cab with the simple diamond halo is a bit too simple and am wondering if I should reset as a pendant with similar green jadeite cab halo as my new ring.
 
And adding my new-to-me moonstone pendant/brooch that I’ve posted in other threads.

Approx 4.8 ct of moonstone, with sapphire, tanzanite and paraiba accents.

Prices have gone up so much, it’s scary.

those are beautiful! Did you get a price quoted for the cornflowers? I'm curious...

Yes, starts from above 18k when it was below 15k pre-pandemic for one of even better quality. The smaller one is the pricier one of the two (prettier too) as the bigger one has a veil inclusion though it’s got significantly more presence on the finger.

Too much for me so I just admired their beauty and then walked away with my affordable jadeite lol.

O @icy_jade: you SO did the right thing! He is fantastic - love how the jade is used to make feathers. I just love him!
 
The little bird is sooo adorable! No surprise you decided to go for it!
 
It’s been a while… but yeah another Jewelry show!

Random stuff that caught my eye and I could take pics of:

Stuff from Desiree (I think maybe before they sorted it nicely)

Unheated sapphire (Shaliha)

Pearls from TPC (ombré strand is way nicer than what my crap photo shows)

Quite smitten by the Victorian collection from Simone (baby south sea pearls and those milgrain! And the drawbridge on the ring can open/close - how cute is that)

And was in the mood for ribbons after Simone - earrings from Dynasty:

That ombre strand… And wait what’s the deal with those baby WSS!?? I’ve never heard of this. Googling!!!
 
Absolutely beautiful, exquisitely crafted jewels. I'd be very happy to take any of them home, but above all, @icy_jade, your knock down dead gorgeous RED spinel/ruby ring (sorry, can't remember which)!
 
Thanks for the pics Icy!!!! I am loving the red/pink stones on that tray and the bow earrings!

Did you get anything?
 
Oh ya and Mikimoto pics cos I walked past and thought of @yssie:

Those Les Petales high jewellery pieces just boggle the mind :love: I had to pull out my computer for a better look. Would they allow you to try any of them on? Or is it strictly eye candy only :bigsmile:

You have the bestest bling and the bestest blingventures!!

Okay so when I saw the Desiree lineup I 100% thought that was a pic of YOUR rings, all in colour order. I think you have enough to match the vendor’s one for one!! In every single one of those colours!! :bigsmile:

So what came home with you… :halo:
