Hi LadyMCh - You flatter me too much! I'm glad you found that "sistahhhh" comment funny! I'm open to adoption as long as you're potty trainedLadyMCh said:Well, here I am drooling on my keyboard! How exciting! Congrats on finding Pollo! I love her 8-prong setting!
I almost died at "Miami, I am your sistahhhhhh!!!!" But seriously...adopt me. We can make this work.
Thanks DS! My wallet doesn't agree ... too skinny!diamondseeker2006 said:Too much amazing bling for one thread, PB!!!! Goodness, you have had a good year!!!! Gorgeous rings and earrings!!!
Hi Carebear! Thank you very much! I got the 5mm cabs from Stachura.CareBear said:PB, your collection is just MAGNIFICENT! Have a huge EC in addition to a 3ct MRB would totally be my dream come true! I didn't even realize you had the sapphire cab in the works! Did IDJ source those as well?
Hi ringcat! Thank you for the sweet compliments! No, I'm not on LT, but if you have a question you can reply to the IDJ hangout thread, or if it's more private in nature, setup a LT post and alert me through the hangout htread.ringcat said:Love, Love, Love your collection PintoBean Most of all your EC, and your MRB too... its so lovely to be able to pick a different ring for a different day, they're all winners Are you on LT PintoBean? ...

Bahaahahaha - this is too funny! Thank you Alex T!Alex T said:Seriously, Pinto?? This is all so gorgeous that I may just vomit!!
Nice! You're a prime candidate for adoption for sure! BAHAHAAHHA! Thank you Fulvia!Fulvia said:Seconding the vomiting happening in the last post and also lining up for adoption: I've already been to college so no worries on that front. HOLY MOTHER - Pinto this collection is unbelievable. Congratulations!!! In addition to your STUH-NNING EC, the E-W marquise is so sweet (and gives you tons of finger coverage!) and the unicorn is just sweet simplicity.
Thank you tyty333 for the flattery and the enaBLING! Ooo.... did anyone ever notice that "bling" is within "enabling"?tyty333 said:Wow! Your collection is growing by leaps and bounds! Such beautiful pieces...you're on a roll...dont stop now!
ac117 - TWINSIE!!! Thank you for enabling yet reality checking when necessary lololol and for providing the preview shots whenever you go to IDJ for your own "shtuff". OK - instead of enabling, I hope my haul "inspires" you BAHAHAAHAHAHA!ac117 said:Absolutely positively gawwwwwgeoussss darling gawwwwgeous!!! My twinsie!!!!!! You made out like a serious bandit!!! You've got quite the enabling DH...mine told me not to get any ideas when I showed him your new haul
I think you funded more than college with all this!! Now adopt me quick so I can have Pollo and Miami as sistahs too!!! Can't wait for a gtg so we can take group shots!!!
Thank you bright ice for the kind words and the "inspiration" to be efficient with the balance of 2016 lolol... Why wait till 2017 for more bling? BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!bright ice said:Beautiful rings, each so different. I must say the EC pulls my strings. You have had a great year but you still have time left
Thank you gemgirl for your kind words and cheerleading as I dove head first into these projects. Hmm... how does it feel? It honestly feels almost complete - like one or two more serious pieces of jewelry and I'm DONE for LIFE! Isn't that crazy? i didn't think I would be done so early. The EC band, and MAYBE larger studs...gemgirl said:Honey, they are ALL drop dead gorgeous specimens of the beauty one can find while diving into this crazy passion of ours. I don't have a favorite because they all have such unique personality unto themselves but........ Maybe because I saw her in person as soon as she was done, I do love Miss Miami. I think I told you that through your newly finished ring which was laying down, I got to read the specs on the stone. I asked Yekutiel "can I look?" Sure! you're going to see it soon anyway. Well I saw VVS2 and my little heart just skipped a beat. Love, lurve, wuvved her at first sight! Congratulations on owning such unique beauties! I can't imagine the feeling. How does it feel?
Awww... Thank you so much, lovedogs!lovedogs|1471542991|4067370 said:What a glorious thread! Congrats on your incredible pieces! I can't even decide on a favorite between those 3 rings--they are all glorious on their own way! But the unicorn setting is just TDF
Enjoy and wear in good health!
thank you for the kind words, daintyG! I really am a big fan of how IDJ does claw prongs! they are a worthy homage to my kitty cats!daintyG said:Gosh, I love your collection! Those claw prongs are so elegant. I also love the MQ setting--it looks comfortable and gorgeous.

thank you victoria10! That is too cute! My little secret...Victoria10 said:Love all your combinations. Very exquisite!!
I like to think of si2 (eye clean) as my little secret between my diamond and I. Haha and of course my jeweler.
thank you QueenFVS!QueenFVS said:Amazing collection PB!!! Enjoy them all in good health!!
thank you Mrs_ace!Mrs_Ace said:Very gorgeous rings!!! Love, love, love your colection!! Excuse me while I wipe the drool....
Hmmm...I think my favorites are the Miami EC and the tennis bracelet for 1st place, followed by the Pollo unicorn. The Miami EC because Yekutiel actually had it out to show a friend for size purposes, and he thought of me. That's very special to have a vendor know you that well that he can see something and know that it screams "Pinto Bean"! Also, because the EC journey coincided partly with cchloe's upgrade journey, and ac117 and gemgirl both got to see Miami in person at IDJ. It was really nice to make a connection to PSers like that.hathalove said:I'm just curious! Out of all the new pieces which is your favorite? Or perhaps top two?
Thank you Phoenix! You are an absolute doll yourself! I believe you're somewhere in Asia and I hope one day we can meet up abroad or in NY.Phoenix|1471833546|4068489 said:What a haul, PB! I love them all!!
I also love your sense of humour...so infectious!! I always look fwd to reading your posts, they're so happy and make me chuckle each and every time.
Wear all your pretties in great health and happiness.
Excellent question! I just did a photoshoot because of this question. In a nutshell, when I have H, I and K together, they all look white to me top down, in all kinds of lighting. As for the EC - I am going to forever think of EC as being short for "Ever so Creepy". Why? when the facets are "off" you see FLESH through the stone, but when they are "on", it's white! Thank god I'm an animated woman that talks with my hands a lot so you get less "Ever so Creepy" fleshy moments. Give me a few to vet the pics and uploadCareBear said:PB, IRL, does the EC show more or less color than the MRB?
Thank you ROL!!!Resonance.Of.Life said:OMG, LOVE LOVE LOVE your entire suite!
