[chiquitapet]

I love your collection!!!

 

[Amethyste]

your new earrings are simply stunning - looks totally gorgeous on your ears...

and my oh my!!! Your lovelies made me gasp!!! Suh a beautiful collection you have!

 

[gemgirl]

I love your new earrings Bliss! I think you''ll appreciate having lever backs very quickly. They''re very secure because they really can''t fall out of your ears. Once I put my lever backs in, I find I don''t touch them. Not true with my studs. I keep checking to make sure they''re OK even though they have a screw back. Maybe it''s just my diamond neurosis

.

I love your growing collection of sparklies. Gorgeous!

 

[dani13]

Love them Bliss!!! You collection is amazing!!!!!!

Im glad you posted postively about ID jewelry- I was thinking about paying them a visit for a possible eternity band purchase in the future....Did you get to see any of their e-bands? What do you think? Thank you!!!

 

[CheshireSmile]

[Bliss]

ckrickett: Thank you! Is that you in the avatar? You are soooo gorgeous!

D&T: You have the most amazing taste, so that is like getting props from Jackie O. Love it! Your pearls and diamond collection is fab, too. Thanks!

SanDiegoLady: Hello Beautiful! You have had so many new additions to your bling family! I am especially in love with your amazing diamond and sapphire ring plus band. It is so regal and lovely, so classy - as are you.

Gailey: Do it! Doooo it! They were surprisingly very affordable and Yekutiel was blazing fast. I had them in studs and then dropped by to say hello the following week. No sooner had the word "leverbacks" come out of my mouth than he had them in my hand for inspection. I loved them and he had them set in 30 minutes! That''s service!

Oh Luckyshe, how lucky are you? I adore your halo, sista!!!! The leverbacks are truly comfortable (as were the studs). But I can see them more now. The studs were covered up by my long hair...and I had another pair of studs so I was concerned one would live in my jewelry box unworn. So it''s nice to have two options!

decodelighted: Deco Deco Deco! Love your amazing collection! I have been a long admirer of your sparklies! Didn''t you just get a HUGE pair of amazing studs??? Yes, I love the leverbacks - you can SEE them from all angles! I am thrilled.

joelly: Yes! Definitely go see Yekutiel! Or call him if you''re not in NY. He gave me an amazing quote for some really gorgeous stones. They are really something. I went to Tiffany the other day to match bezel earrings for my Tiff bezel pendant. And these earrings held their own against the Tiff ones...even in their insane lighting! It''s interesting because my Tiff diamond is really white and brilliant. These are brilliant and fiery. I prefer fiery.

Snooper: Hellooooooooo e-ring of my dreams. Droooooool. Thanks so much! They are so comfy. I adore the simplicity! Now I''m hankering for a third pair of studs just to wear plain. Am I stud crazy? Yes. It''s too bad we can''t just pop them in and out of settings.

legra: Thank you! Is that your kitty and your little one? You are so lucky. I would LOVE to have a little baby, too! We are going to try for one and every time I see a baby I just go bonkers with happiness and excitement!!!

tigian: Hey sista! Hum... studs or leverbacks? Welcome to my dilemma! I really really really loved the studs in this size. I started out with the .77-.78 each size. It is a fantastic size for every day. I halo''d them and for a while I hemmed and hawed about it afterwards because I missed the simple stud look. The halo''d earrings are awesome but they are also huge and I didn''t feel comfortable wearing them everywhere. Too much bling. Never thought I would say that, but it''s true with the other jewelry I wear. So that''s why I went for a second pair... I figured if I ever get tired of the leverbacks, I''ll pop them back into a stud setting. It''s inexpensive to switch, so why not have both? I''m thinking third pair of studs will be one carat each and then I''m done!

tyty333: I am SO with you! I tried on the screwbacks at Tiffs because I was considering getting the matching earrings. And they were really disappointing. The threads were really thick...and no matter how tightly I screwed them on, they kept falling forward! I have to say - jumbo friction backs are the way to go for me. They are tight, never droop and are very secure. Can you switch? If not, maybe dangles? What size are they? Dangles would be amaaaaaazing for your diamond huggies!!! I understand about hating jewelry when it''s not quite right. It has to be comfortable first and foremost! I''m with u!

princessplease: THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I heart gerber daisies! Thank you so much.

Skippy123: OK... SKIPPY SIS! YOU ARE THE REASON WHY I GOT THESE! YES! Your huge 1.5 ctw studs made me MISS the ones I halo''d! They looked SO perfect on your ears, I totally started lemming for that look again. They were dressy and casual depending on what you wore... the PERFECT SIZE. I just went bananas after your thread and that is why I got this pair! I started out with studs again and then decided to try leverbacks for fun. We''ll see how long it lasts before I go stud crazy again! I love that look, seriously! But I think the leverbacks are the perfect addition for me because I do love the other studs I have, too. You are just a lovely lovely person!

Tacori E-ring! Is that your little girl? Has she grown up that fast? She is gorgeous!!!! Wow, I still remember your ring even after all this time. It is in my top 5 list of all time favorites for classic beauty.

mitui4: Thank you so much!

MC: Thank you so much! You have such great taste in jewelry - classy and clean in design - that means a lot. I love your ACA studs from WhiteFlash!!!!

tap02150: Wow, thanks!!!!!!! That means a lot!

Kelli: Ummmm... you can only dream of having earrings so beautiful? Sista, please. Look at that rock you have on your hand. It''s amazing! I''ll bet you will have them before you know it... I''d be too distracted by my big rock if I were you to even THINK about earrings!

loriken214: Hey, kittymama! Definitely add them to your list! You''ll be tickled to death by how fun they are to wear. I am already getting compliments on them!

swimmer: Thank you so much!!!!

chiquitapet: Your avatar always makes me hop up and down. That kitty is precious and funny, too! Soooo cute! Thanks!

Amethyste: Whoa. You should post 10 times in every thread because it is such a supreme pleasure to see your lemon perfect pear. I just want to take a bite out of that sunshine-y goodness! It just looks like such a show stopper... just gorgeous. I can''t anyone would be so lucky to have that on one''s finger to stare at every day. Amazing! I am so happy you kept the setting. It''s divine.

gemgirl: THANKS! I also find myself touching my studs a lot to check. But ever since I changed from La Pousette to heavy friction backs - I never check. I am thrilled with leverbacks so far. They are incredibly comfortable and secure. I love how they catch the light more and I also feel like they frame my face better. Yay!

Dani: Thank you so much! YEs, go see ID Jewelry! They have tons of jewelry and I bet Yekutiel will find you the perfect eternity band. They have a ton in stock but he can also make you some really gorgeous things for a great price. Amazing cut stones! Tell him you are a Pricescoper and he will take extra good care of you! There is a thick cigar band - with tons of pave I am thinking about lately!

CheshireSmile: Thank you!!!!! From an elegant person, that means a lot.

tlh: Hahahahahaha! I will sing a song about them in the shower! That story you told a while back STILL makes me laugh! You need to write for TV or something like a sitcom. You''d be BRILLIANT! Your wit and creativity is genius. You should write for The Office! LOL.

canuk-gal: Sharon! Thank you so much. You are so elegant and lovely in all of your posts. I remember when I was thinking about leverbacks - you said you loved yours and wore them the most, aside from your Tiff studs. That totally opened me up to wearing leverbacks as an every day piece and it''s true! I reach for them all the time now!

jcrow: THANK YOU! You know, I still remember your wedding photos! You are by far, one of the most beautiful brides I have EVER seen. Your wedding earrings set off a PS frenzy and had us all running to BR to buy a pair because we all wanted to be your groupies! LOL. You have amazing style, beauty and grace and I am tickled that you like my new pieces! Love your big rock, too.

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Bliss, thank you! She is growing up fast! Also thank you for the nice words about my ring. You have such good taste so it really is a big compliment!

 

[Kaleigh]

They are gorgeous!! They look terrifc on you. What a stunning collection you have!!!

 

[swingirl]

Your new earrings are beautiful. I love your whole collection!! But leave some diamonds behind for the rest of us. You''ve got too many!!! JK

 

[gwendolyn]

Hubba hubba, WHAT a collection!!

Oh honey, you have some excellent taste--please post more photos for me to drool at!

 

[Iowa Lizzy]

Oh they''re just perfect! Congratulations on another gorgeous purchase. Those babies deserve to go out for a cocktail!

 

[pixley]

Those are so dreamy, Bliss! I don''t think I''ve ever seen leverback solitaires, but I LOVE them! They look dynamite on you and are the perfect solution for those of us who like the movement of a dangly earring, but the simplicity of a solitaire. BEAUTIFUL, just like the rest of your collection!

 

[kittybean]

My goodness, Bliss--you have the best collection. My collection aspires to be your collection when it grows up

. Love the new leverbacks--so pretty on you!

 

[laurel25]

The lever backs are so pretty (and I have a personal fondness for lever backs), but my gosh those halo studs are to die for!!!

 

[vc10um]

You should have warned us to put on our sunglasses

!!! Your bling is gorgeous...and those leverbacks are beautiful!

 

[marcy]

Beautiful!

 

[AdiS]

Love, love, LOVE the leverbacks!

They look perfect on you!

Ok, now I want leverbacks too.

 

[Bliss]

Tacori E-ring: Of course! I still in many years have never seen an e-ring like yours! It''s magic!

Kaleigh: Helllloooooooooo...Speaking of gorgeous wedding sets. I''ve admired yours forever, too! Pow! Every single time I see your avatar, I want to get a 3-stone. It''s too yummy for words. Just... sigh. Like a first crush! Gorgeous! And you are always so kind! Thank you!

swingirl: Is that your e-ring in your avatar? That''s incredible. Loveliness!!! Thank you so much! Hubba hubba... I love the modern looks but the antique pieces are showstoppers. I actually hold my breath whenever I see something that special! Thanks for the lovely words! Hahahaha. Tell Catmom not to buy up all the diamond inventory! She''s the one doing all that damage! LOL. Catmom, if you''re reading this - howdy!

gwendolyn: Ahhhhh, my former LIW sista! You know, you have some spectacular taste, too! I love love love your wedding gown and the beautiful shoes you bought to go along with it. I think I was an enabler in that thread! They are spectacular!!!! You are going to be a beautiful bride. Your posts and advice are always so insightful and full of compassion. I really enjoy reading them! Per your request, I''m taking another ear shot! Those are tricky, gf!

Travel Goddess: Let''s go out for a cocktail! Something with pomegranate juice in it! LOL. Your kitty is gorgeous and if I do recall, your taste in jewelry is exquisite as well. Thanks so much!

pixley: Hey solitaire sista! Yes, I aspire for simplicity and elegance - like your wedding set! Too late for my e-ring, but whenever I see a classy elegant set like yours, I do start wishing for my old set. There is something so fluid and gorgeous about a solitaire. Nice rock, too!!!!

kittybean: Thanks!!! You have an awesome collection, too! Your DH is so sweet to have bought you some studs!!!! What an amazing gift. Wish DH bought these for me! That would have made them so much more special. I just went out and got them like you would a pair of shoes. So I envy that from you! Jewelry is so special when it comes from love. I am so sorry to hear about your grandfather. I lost my grandmother when I was very young and I always feel that she is near me. For a long time, I was afraid I would forget her but it never happens. In fact, her presence grew in my life and on really amazing days when the sky is clear and the world is bright and colorful - I feel her love all around me. I wish the same for you!

laurel25: Thank you so much, leverback sista! I must confess that since I got the leverbacks, the studs have been sitting in my jewelry box unworn. I should throw a book in there or something so they don''t get too bored, eh? For a while, I agonized about taking the studs out of the halo setting but figured it''d cost less to just buy new studs than to scrap the setting. Why can''t we pop them in and out of settings? We should invent that together! Removable diamonds and endless settings!

vc10um: Thank you!!!!! The rings in your avatar are mesmerizing. They remind me of something Kate Winslet''s character in The Titanic would wear. So pretty.

marcyc: Thank you!!! Please post a ton all around PS as I enjoy admiring your beautiful wedding set!!!

AdiS: Thank you!!! Leverbacks are very comfortable! Definitely give ID Jewelry a call - they can make anything happen! You''ve been on a collecting spreee, too! Love the marquise and the amazingly sparkly 5-stone! I would love a marquise one day.

Here''s one last photo for Gwendolyn!

 

[Steel]

Knock me down with a feather...they are stunning.

I have wanted dangle-ly earrings set like this f.o.r.e.v.e.r.


They look beautiful on you, spectacular earrings for a beautiful woman.

 

[Skippy123]

OH my gosh you having me wanting leverbacks!!!!!!!! Oh someday!!! I LOVE THEM and that last picture, is wonderful! You are such an elegant lady and very graceful in all of your posts. Huge hugs to you; you are so deserving of your new lovelies, dear friend

 

[Dreamer_D]

Wowee zowee! I love them! I have been contemplating diamond earings, especially now that I am cutting my hair super short again, but studs don''t do it for me.... those danglers sure do though!

 

[Bliss]

Thanks for the lovely comments!

Steel: Thank you! I have never seen you, but you sound lovely and seem to have such intelligent humor. Love it! You have amazing pieces, too. So that means a lot. Thank you!!!!

SkippySis! Hahaha! (evil laugh!) This is all going according to plan! You must trade me your spectacular huge studs for these lil'' leverbacks! Muahahaha. Do you know, you''re the reason why I got these in the first place? Your huge, fireball studs! Yes! You''re the one I will point to when hubby asks why I needed a second pair. LOL. That look is just so clean, classic and has huge presence. I just started lemming when I saw your amazing thread (congrats again, btw) and it never stopped! Thank you!!!

dreamer_daschie: Thank you! Super short hair - is sooooo sassy! I love it but have never been able to pull it off. In my next life, I will have the features required to pull off a classy and sexy pixie cut. Hear that, God? LOL. Love your hotdog babies. They are precious. You know, super short hair looks good with EVERYTHING!

 

[Lynn B]

LOVE. THEM!

WANT. THEM.

Congrats, they are STUNNING!

 

[Catmom]

Bliss, your new earrings are gorgeous!! I love leverbacks.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Gorgeous way to get some understated bling! I have to say, I love both sets - I wouldn''t know which to wear every day!

 

[Stone Hunter]

Oh I really like the new leverback earrings!!! Very nice for every day wear. Congrats!!

 

[miraclesrule]

I absolutely lover your earrings Bliss. Well, your entire collection is to die for, but I really, really want those leverbacks. I just made an impulse purchase on studs and a pendant, but I have been sufficiently backslapped by SDL to make sure that I am getting exactly what I want and to pay no more than I have to in order to get it. So today I have to have the dreaded conversation with the store to back out of my purchase. UGH. Why oh why is diamond buyer so complicated?

I am not settling. I want these leverbacks. And for the price I was paying for much smaller studs, I can have them.
