Let's just preface that I'm young and impressionable. @Asscherhalo_lover messaged me over a week ago to gauge my interest in GOG's estate sale. I was like, sure, sounds like fun, but I'm on a bling ban. She then messaged me again last night to confirm our get together. I asked her to please call me in the AM today. She called me to make sure I was awake and texted me when she was leaving her house. I was like, "oh no I have to hurry up and inhale my chocolate croissant and get out of dodge!"
...
We walk into GOG and I am starting to think that there is a PB doppelgänger in the area bc both Charles and Amy greet me like I've been there before...:whistle: (mebbe...)

So I'm like oh no... no... I don't like jewelry... and @Asscherhalo_lover is like shoving rings on my fingers and stuff and I'm like no no... I can't... and then my credit card jumps out of my wallet and I'm like wtf is this conspiracy? :shock:

:love::love::love:Sarah was an absolute joy to work with!
 
The following insisted I adopt them.

10k Turquoise ring. It just fits. Idk. It's been dying for someone with big man hands to come and adopt it.

Well turquoise ring for man hands needs some turquoise ball stud friends! I picked these 6mm studs bc they'd fit in my IDJ jackets.

And then evil @Asscherhalo_lover was like, look, rolling rings for man hands. You've been wanting a rolling ring. This one is 18k RGx2 +WG. Now you'll have mixed metals Cartier look when you pair it with your love bracelet!

And then evil @Asscherhalo_lover was like oh a ballerina ring PB it's got really nice diamonds in it... they can size it for you today... enable enable. 0.5ct marquise, 1ctw round, 0.3ctw baguettes in 14k. This was more challenging to photograph. The pics did get better when I went to the bathroom and even better when I stepped in the bathtub.

What's really lovely is that @Asscherhalo_lover's ring and earrings have the same metal work style so they look like a set when you see them together. They are super versatile and we agree that they are as nice with jeans as they are with a formal black dress. The coral is slightly pinker in person which looks lovely against her fair complexion. She's also got eagle eyes. She could see the tiny rosecut diamonds in the earrings with her naked eye.
 
Wow - remind me to eat a chocolate croissant before I go jewelry shopping again!

What a beautiful haul you two - luscious!

Congrats PB - you got a couple of spectacular pieces of jewelry! Happy for you girl!

Asscherhalo_lover is a trooper! Flew all the way to Houston to make it in time for the PS dinner. That still blows me away that you were able to do that - that kind of dedication is hard to find!! And you were still standing and able to carry on conversation!
 
Love your new pieces. :love: I'd hop in the bathtub with you if it meant I could wear that new ballerina ring. :Up_to_something2::D

Just wanted to add that this is why I can't hang out with PSrs and look at jewelry (which is mandatory really). My poor pocketbook couldn't take it. :eek-2:
 
OK I have time now, do not listen to @PintoBean SHE MADE ME TRY ON ALLLLLLLL OF THE RINGS!!! Like, allllllll of them! She also FORCED me :lol: to search all of the cases for turquoise and ballerina rings, it's not my fault that I found really good ones!

I should have taken a picture of the "glass slipper" ring. It was an amazing enamel and diamond eternity that people always try on but it doesn't fit (it's a 4). I got in on! It was a bit snug but I got it on! If it hadn't been over my limit I probably would have bought it anyway. They do the estate sale again in November and if it's still there I might need it! I have to see if I can move my larger eternities that no longer fit first.

It was insane and I don't recommend it! It took me a few days to recover! I'm still surprised I was standing and conversating, I was pretty drunk :p the Texas day drinking snuck up on me!
 
Wow!! You got all those pieces?! So awesome. I especially love the turquoise pieces. :kiss2:
 
I love the studs with your jackets so much that I just found me a pair of turquoise studs on etsy to go with my idj jackets! We can be twins! What size are your jackets?
 
Oooohhh.
At the next “ Bling addict Anonymous ” meeting you be like....
“My name is Pinto Bean and it’s been 15 minutes and 10 seconds since my last acquisition”.
Ooooooohhhh go the Bling addicts, as they trample each other to get over to you and check it out!

Mine are 3mm and I usually buy 5mm cabs for them but the 6mm turquoise fit fine. The turquoise will look so striking on you!:appl:

I feel like if I actually found a bling addict meeting to attend, I'd be able to identify a bunch of PSers by bling alone!:lol-2:
