my new gold present

[teetee]

My sweet husband surprised me last night with this present..."just because"

 

[teetee]

And this...

 

[teetee]

together

 

[teetee]

Someone got curious.

 

[teetee]

While I was at it, I took some shots of my other set that he got me a few years ago.

 

[teetee]

Last one of everything together.

I''m thinking I need to get some earrings to wear with these pieces. Any ideas?

Cute pieces. Here are some earrings that would match pretty well. Link

Funny thing is that I opened the necklace first and was thinking the leather case was the gift...like a coin purse or something. Took me a second to see the pendant, haha. The bracelet box is really cool too...it''s like a mini-trunk. DH said that they were going to put it in a long case like the necklace one but he told them he wanted the hard case that they showed it to him in and they gave it to him!

Thanks to everyone for your compliments!

All very pretty pieces. Congrats! I really like the new necklace. Is it rose gold? Do you know the style name by chance?

Interesting that you ask, couturequeen. DH thought he bought both pieces in rose gold but noticed that the gold tones were different between the two pieces. Then he realized that the price of the bracelet online was $500 less than what he paid so he asked me to take it back and make sure they gave him the right piece. Turns out that they don''t make the the bracelet in rose gold and the price difference is due to the size. The smaller size actually fit me better so they refunded the difference!

So back to your question, I am not sure if the pendant is rose or yellow gold but it looks like rose to me. The receipt says "PEND+CH EMPR. OJ". If anyone knows what the "OJ" stands for, that might tell us something. The bracelet is "R. BRAC MONOG. XS OR JAUNE". I used an online French dictionary and "or jaune" translated to "yellow gold". OMG I just figured it out as I typed it...the OJ in the pendant item must be yellow gold! haha.

Also, the full name of the pendant style must be "Empreinte". I went through the Travel 2009 brochure and found it listed. Apparently there''s a version with diamonds too.

Hope that helps!

Hi Tacori, I will see if DH will help me take some photos tomorrow. The ones I just tried to do myself are terrible.

Such pretty pieces! "Just because" presents are the best!

 

[teetee]

As promised, here''s my neck shot. Sorry, it''s the best I could do. This is how the pendant naturally lays. Sometimes it will flip to the side if I move.

 

[princessplease]

What lovely pieces!!!!

 

[Stone Hunter]

Congrats! They are lovely. How very thoughtful of your husband!
