Show me your “extra” look!

[Rubies-R-Me]

Hi ac117!
Thanks for your sweet compliment. It was a fun search to find 2 matching ruby Schlumberger 16 stone rings. It's funny.. I couldn't wait to get them and I don't really wear them much at all. I guess that's how it goes.. it's the thrill of the hunt.
I did see that Tiffany started selling ruby jewelry again. This time around with rubies from Mozambique I think.. not Burma.
Here is a link about it.

It's always the thrill of the hunt isn't it?!? You know, right after I posted, I took a stroll to the flagship store bc I'm not far (yes, dangerous, I know...) to try on the ruby version. I hadn't read about the rubies and specifically asked the SA where they were sourcing rubies from and he said BURMA. He was a younger guy and I even made it a point to ask 'oh really, so they could ethically source them from there now?' and he said yes. So clearly he did not know anything!!! Unfortunate....but, in addition to getting a chance to see the 16 stone ruby version, I also saw their brand new Schlumberger Lynn necklace with rubies that came out 2 days ago! I really liked it but I could definitely tell that the rubies don't have as much depth/richness to them as Burmese stones.

Hello!!!!!!!!

No thread on that Cartier Sapphire ring. Got it in 2016, an estate purchase. It spent 8 weeks at the Cartier Spa (High Jewellery Dept in New York) for resizing and prong attention then it went into the bank. (2016 was a terrible! year for me...and I wore no jewellery for almost a year and a half....).

Nice to "see" you. Thanks for lurking!!

cheers--Sharon

I guess wearing the solitaire and the 5 stone on the same finger is a little too extra lol.

I usually wear the 5 stone in the middle finger of my right hand.

Hi again ac117!
Oh what an interesting story about Tiffany!
I'm so glad that you posted a pic of the new version of the ruby ring. I agree.. I have seen a few pieces in person and the red is not as deep and rich as the original Burmese stones.
I looked on the website but the new Lynn necklace isn't on there yet. I will keep looking as I'm anxious to see it.
I love your 16 stone classic and now my newest thing to search/covet is the platinum version with sapphires.
Thanks for sharing the Schlumberger smiles!

Helloooo Sharon!
Oh my.. your new sapphire Cartier is G O R G E O U S! How funny that it had to be in "rehab" for 2 months before you could wear it. You must have been so excited when it was finally ready!!!
I'm so so so sorry to hear that 2016 was a difficult year.. hope things are MUCH better now.
You are actually on my mind when I get a new Tiffany/Cartier piece.. I always think that Sharon would appreciate this.
I really love your Cartier sapphire ring. I bid on a Tiffany sapphire (Princess Diana style) ring at Doyle auction house about 2 months ago and didn't bid high enough.. I'm still kicking myself over that.
Anywho.. it is so nice to "see" you again!

Makingthegrade.. love your twisty band at the top!!

Whoops, I guess the other pic didn't link properly earlier! Here's the Lynn pendant with rubies

Oooh I love that quote @Rubies-R-Me. Perfect.

@nala one word...Blingalicious.

Thanks Missy! Unfortunately I don’t own the eternity. Was playing with the look at a jeweler’s. lol.

 

[CravingDiamonds]

Thats one big rock!

Well there is definitely too much of a good thing. Playing with my bands this AM. Could never wear them this way but I could still bend my finger surprisingly.

 

[missy]

Here's a look that is not my look but one I tried on yesterday. It's definitely an "extra" look in my book. HUGE. I think it is 6.5 carats but not completely sure. We tried on lots of diamonds yesterday hehe. It's a cape OMC.



From Rick Shatz

and one more extra look...this necklace TDF gorgeous. IMO.


From Yekutiel at IDJ

 

[missy]

Hehehe here was my "extra" look yesterday. SWOON!!! This ring was AMAZBLING. I took a still shot from the video I took. Wearing 2 big OECs never felt so sweet.



Though this ring from jogani holds its own anywhere anytime.
F/SI
Delicious.

 

[KristinTech]

Would never leave my house like this, but I’m having fun on a rare lazy Saturday morning! My 1.23 E SI2 CBI in a crazy retro ring wrap and two anniversary bands.

 

[MrsKBP]

Haha I love this topic @nala! @nala and @Staceyjan NICE!
If it is OK here are my (OTT) looks! Only one of these rings are mine however and pardon all the photos but I hope you enjoy it as much as I am enjoying sharing these with you.




How to dress up a little red nightgown? Why just add 2 big ole diamonds that's how.



HRH Francesca approves. But she has a clear favorite and fortunately that's my favorite too. Of course like her momma she wants them ALL.



Over 10 carats of OECs...the perfect carat weight don't you think?



Just a little tiara when I visit Costco and such. You can never go wrong with a classic tiara if you kwim.


and I really think 3 big old cuts are the perfect number to wear on one finger. I mean talk about perfection times 3...


Sorry my computer stopped letting me add photos so doing it from iPad so here goes nothing.

speechless

 

[MrsKBP]

Love this thread. My daily carat patch! 6.33 carat center stone flanked by 2+ carats on my finger and 14 carats on my wrist.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Count me in. I’ve never been to Walmart so tell me if there’s anything else I need to know. Tiaras-check. How about ruby shoes? Is that a yes or no for Walmart? I know it’s all the rage in Costco these days.

i went to walmart just to see what its like - it was in Canada - the clientele seemed a bit more restrained than what i had seen on the internet !

but anyway im tagging along !
i have a fake pearl chocker i wear up side down bandeau style across my forhead when im home alone, and someone unkindly told me once i had shoes like a transvestite so im sure i have a suitable pair

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Love this thread. My daily carat patch!

that's totally awsome !

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

I happened to see these photos from long ago the other day and thought to myself...wow, OTT! I seem to remember now I was just doing it as a pink photo op. LOL How nice that you started a thread for OTT : )

i think you should wear that every day
