Lovedogs' 2019 bling projects

[lovedogs]

@Crystal_Dreams what are your thoughts about stone size and overall size of the Isadora? I'm trying to figure out how big to have the center Stone cut. Thanks!!!!

 

[Acinom]

Hope you will update your bling thread with the opals you have ordered.

 

[lovedogs]

Thanks @Acinom ! To all not following the opal thread, I just got 3 Aussie opal doublets and I'm excited to see them irl!
Arrows point to the smaller ones I got.


And here's the bigger one:

Not a 2019 project, but putting it here bc it's newly resized (TBH it still feels big, but oh well), and I can finally wear it! Yay! Pic dump! Inside and outside the car at the post office. I am so impatient that I couldn't wait!

So, so gorgeous! I don’t know which one I like more. This one or the convertible red spinel ring. Both totally drool worthy pieces.

Yvonne totally knocked it out of the park. I love it so much!
and haha I totally agree! thank goodness the spinel is convertible so I can wear both on days I'm feeling extra bling-tastic!

I will never get sick of paraibas

Those opals are so pretty. The great thing about doublets is that they still show the beauty, despite being backed.

Be still my heart, what a gorgeous piece of bling I love those Camellia rings of Yvonne's they show off stunning gems to their best effect

Wow! This is a beautiful ring!!! Look at it glow

I don’t want to pester, but..... have you received your moonstones yet? What do you think, if you have? His IG is full of beautiful looking stones but I’d love to hear your view on how they compare in real life!

I love your paraiba camellia (?) ring also. Did you buy it from stock or commission it?

Nope, didn't recieve the moonstone yet. I'm tracking the package closely and can't wait to see them!!! And yes, I commissioned the Camilla from Yvonne using her in-stock stones, but it was custom made for me. I'm hoping the moonstones are as good in person as in video! The vendor was easy to deal with and nice, so hope to work with him more in the future and recommend him to PSers!

OK, so, um, ah,...are you married? I would MARRY for that stone!
Who is this Yvonne you speak of that made the ring?

haha! Yes, I'm married. There are at least 10 people on these boards that I would love to marry for their bling Yvonne from Cecile Raley designs (https://www.etsy.com/shop/CecileRaleyDesigns)

@lissyflo it's made it to customs in SF! I'm in southern CA so hopefully it'll get here soon without any issues with inspection!

Yay! Waiting for customs is torturous - so near and yet so far. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you that US customs is more efficient than our UK one. Can’t wait for pics!

 

[lovedogs]

Waiting is the WORST! my opals are leaving LA and on their way. Moonstones still in SF at customs.

@lovedogs I'd like to remind you that you are strong and patient. You didn't get your red spinel ring and paraiba camellia ring overnight (if you did, I'd be so, so jealous!). Good things are worth the wait, imo. Be strong for a little longer, I'm sure everything will be great!

Thank you!! I'm just feeling impatient and am sick. But I know they'll be worth it !

Just hang in there lol! I waited for my express Swiss post star ruby for 6 weeks!!!! I thought for sure it had been lost. It was suppose to take about 8 days and then it finally came. Ended up being stuck in SF customs and stuck in the port of departure. What a mind trip. Oh the worry and frustration. Looking forward to seeing them when they arrive!

 

[lovedogs]

Pretty sure I jinxed something by saying the opals were "on the way". I got a package slip saying I could pick them up at the local post office, only to discover that "no one could find the package" in the back

They took my phone number and are going to ask the postal worker who left the notice. GRRRRR

Oh no! That must be so frustrating! Hopefully they will be able to find the package tomorrow and deliver it to you. I’m looking forward to seeing your photos of them too!

USPS is never fun with high value items. I hope you get it soon!

 

[leslie1956]

You have my sympathies, @lovedogs, That would drive me bonkers! I've had a few scares with USPS, too. Hopefully, you'll have your opals in hand very soon.

I hear that kind of thing is legal in someplaces. Sister wives anyone?.

Oh no! Let’s hope they find it. Maybe they set it up for redelivery but made the slip out wrong. Fingers crossed.

I went back to the post office today, and apparently (instead of calling me or leaving it at the post office), they took it back out for deliver today. That's unfortunate, because I'm at work until at least 3. Grrrr! But at least there's a super nice woman there who is keeping an eye out and told me to call her if i get another "tried to deliver it" slip.

 

[lovedogs]

Woohoo, both the opals and moonstones are here, and all are perfection.

Quick pic of the opals in horrible light. Parked in my car in the rain haha. Can't get good moonstone pics for the life of me, but going to keep trying!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Pretty!

 

[2Neesers]

Yay! They arrived and they are gorgeous!!!

I love all three, but am obsessed with the large one and keep coming back to look at it

 

[lovedogs]

warning, photo explosion below!!!

Opals first!
