Scenes from JCK 2012

[Dancing Fire]

looks like a lot of fun.i should have crashed the party...

btw; why is Skippy in every picture?..

 

[diamondseeker2006]

What great pictures! I am SO hoping to go next year!

I haven't seen any mention about who won the fabulous door prizes. Inquiring minds want to know!!!!

I won one of Leon's La Petite pendants

Oh, wow!!!! I am so happy for you!!!

You know, I totally want to go just to see everyone, but the prizes are an amazing bonus!

Okay, everyone else...your turn!

 

[Christina...]

So, instead of saving for an upgrade next year, I'm going to start saving so that I can be a part of this good time! Love the pics, it looks like everyone had a blast!

 

[Dancing Fire]

no male (non vender) PSer there?

 

[kenny]

Kenny--we missed you! Next year!

Thanks Erika, you're so sweet.
I hope to make it next year.

It was an awesome time! Thanks so much to Andrey for hosting and Erika and everyone else for putting it together, and a huge thank you to Andrey for my swanky room! (One of the few pics I took...I was too busy trying on jewels and throwing back gin and tonics at the PS GTG to take pics of my own! )

It was wonderful to meet so many PSers in real life at once, and it really felt like meeting up with old friends instead of people I'd never seen in person before!

I'll be there next year for sure!

I haven't seen any mention about who won the fabulous door prizes. Inquiring minds want to know!!!!

I may be mistaken, but I believe that every single participant there won something at the drawing. How cool is that???

OMG YES! The hotel rooms were GORGEOUS! Newly renovated wing of the Bellagio. Ours was on a different floor than Thing2's but very swank as well, with an Orange Color Scheme.

THANK YOU PS for the lux accommodations.

You are right Wink. VERY cool

 

[Art Nouveau]

I am so glad I went to Vegas to attend the Pricescope JCK GTG. It was so much fun. Thank you Andrey for hosting such a great party and all the vendors for the fabulous door prizes. I enjoyed making new PS friends and seeing old ones. It was also a pleasure meeting Coati. I enjoy your blogs on PS. Thank you for posting the bling photos and I am looking forward to part 2. I did not take any pictures, so I have nothing to share, but thank you Skippy for posting yours. Garry's 3D diamond videos are so cool. I am glad we got a preview.

 

[Texas Leaguer]

What a great party! Thanks Andrey, Linh and Erika (and whoever else helped to put it together) for all your hard work and wonderful hospitality.

I knew it was going to be good when I was walking down the long hallway to the room the sound of revelry kept increasing as I got closer. I thought to myself, that must be another party- the PS crowd is much more serious, and it's only 6:15. But lo and behold, the number on the door corresponded to the invitation and I entered the room to a very upbeat scene. I knew it was going to be a good night!

The suite was gorgeous with a spacious living room, an ajoining dining room with huge dining room table. And of course... da bar!

I enjoyed catching up with some old friends and making some new ones. My only regret was getting so involved in conversation with a few very interesting folks I did not get to visit with everyone. Next year!

Thank you Garry for demonstrating the 3D video application you are involved in developing. Very powerful stuff!

It's a great era to be involved in the diamond and jewelry industry, both on the vendor side and as an enthusiast. There are new and exciting things happening practically every day. And what an awesome community to be part of - pricescopers are not only knowlegeable and enthusiastic, but they can also PARTY!

Cheers everyone!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Looks like you all had a blast! Thanks for sharing photos!!!

 

[Rosebloom]

I would also love a Chicago GTG. I'm a long time lurker but would gladly come out of hiding to see Haven's amazing ring!

 

[Texas Leaguer]

Debi arrived late due to the Sabbath. But I would say she made up for lost time. She had fun!

Thanks for the kind words AN. It was a pleasure meeting you and your friend. Loved hearing your ideas and I appreciate your expertise--will talk more in the future! Thanks for letting me photograph your stunning jewels, and I must say, your greenish-blue cocktail dress was the perfect complement!

It was so lovely to see old friends and to meet new members--we have quite the jewelry club, don't we?? For those who missed it, there is always next year! We will see you then!

We can't thank you all enough for attending, and we send a very special thank you to all of the vendors and appraisers who donated such wonderful gifts!!

Oh and do stay tuned for designer blog coverage from the Couture and JCK shows. I took hundreds of pictures and met some incredible designers and can't wait to share with you all!

 

[neatfreak]

It was SOOO fun!! Thanks to all the super generous vendors for the awesome prizes and to PS for the great food and room!

Did someone mention pics?

Jewel of the Week: Special Edition - PS GTG Blingathon! Part One
https://www.pricescope.com/blog/jewel-week-special-edition-ps-gtg-blingathon-part-one

Cheers!
Ok...off to rest, unpack, and feed the dog! More to come!

You are such an absolute doll. Those are the best pictures of my ring EVER! You totally rule. I can't wait for Part 2!!!

Get some sleep pretty lady. And I re-iterate: You must come to Nor Cal soon. ((HUGS)) and many thanks. Miss you already and wished you lived closer, or I did.

Thanks, Gypsy! It was a pleasure seeing you (and your jewelry!) again. I'm glad you like the pictures, and a trip to Nor-Cal is definitely in order.

--oh and I finally got some sleep--whew! hugs hon

 

[Laughinggravy0]

Oh WOW that looked fun!! And so nice to put faces to names. I feel isolated sometimes, in Brussels - tho I have had the pleasure of meeting Paul and Leive (sorry if I got that spelling wrong) at Infinity down the road in Antwerp. I'm not from the US, but I miss that friendliness you seem to share over there and that we have, a little less, but still there, in the UK. Phooooooo. I'm glad you all had a blast - and what generous gifts - that's great!!!

 

[coati]

Hi folks,
Here is Part Two of jewelry pics from the GTG.
https://www.pricescope.com/blog/jewel-week-special-edition-ps-gtg-blingathon-part-two

We want to reiterate that we wish we could've gotten photos of each and every piece, and we appreciate your sharing your gorgeous jewelry with us! Thank you!

 

[makemepretty]

The people are just as beautiful as the jewels. Looks like you guys had so much fun.

 

[shimmer]

John, Coati, Wink and everybody (the list is too long to name and the wine flowing too fast to remember!)--it was such a pleasure to meet you!

Thank you Andrey and Linh for hosting such an amazing party! It was so nice to get to know you, I can't wait until next year!

The night flew by and I had many wonderful conversations. It was so amazing to meet Garry, Leon , Wink, Debi and Bryan, Erica and Grace, Jim from James Allen, Jeff Averbrook, David Atlas and both the Infinity and AGSL crew... I can't believe I met all these amazing people that I look up to!!! Thank you all for taking your time to meet us PSers I was absolutely star struck, and I really hope I didn't forget anybody!

The wonderful, gorgeous ladies of PS were so much fun! It was like meeting with a group of friends that I had known forever! I am very shy and really don't have friends IRL and everyone made me feel so welcome, so thank you for that

 

[ame]

WOW. I hope Gammygam has more pics than are already on here!!! That thing is amazing!

 

[coati]

no male (non vender) PSer there?

Oh there were some non-vendor men floating around.
Are you coming next year? C'mon DF--we would love to see you!

Shimmer, it was fantastic meeting you and seeing your malaya garnet--so beautiful in person!

Bright Ice, thanks so much! It was great to meet you!

 

[canuk-gal]

HI:

I (still) think the folks are more glam than the bling! Beautiful group!!!!

cheers--Sharon

VERY cool, Wink!!!

I am already planning for next year, so somebody please let us know the dates whenever it is scheduled.

Did everyone stay in the same hotel? I'd prefer staying in the hotel where the party is.

Listen to me...already planning!!!

 

[junebug17]

Everyone looks fantastic!! What a good-looking bunch - So much fun to be able to put a face to a name - thanks to everyone who posted pics, looks like a very good time was had by all!

And the bling pics - to die for!!!

[HeartingDiamonds]

On behalf of Erica and myself - THANK YOU, PS, for hosting such a FAB party!

It was such a delight meeting all the PSers, fellow vendors, and the entire PS team. The suite was uber-fabulous and the food and libations were TDF

I agree with Gypsy - it was one of the best parties! Ever.

Can't wait till next year's!!!

 

[TravelingGal]

Looks like it was great fun! Thanks for sharing everyone!
