The TRR Rescue Thread: Show your treasures!

[Mreader]

I wasn’t sure how I’d like such small asschers since you can’t clearly see all the steps but I actually like the understated, not so flashy appearance as with round cuts. It has an antique feel with the yellow diamonds. I think I like it… hard to tell since I have no sunlight here (and won’t for a few more months).

What do you all think? Does the stamp look like Jewels by Grace? It’s similar to several bands she has on her website. I’d LOVE some honest opinions!

I think it looks fab and luxe!

 

[lovedogs]

@Django74th i adore it and am happy you decided to keep it!

This is really glow-y and pretty. Looks like the setting feels buttery and smooth too.

Enjoy!

I’m laid up for six weeks on crutches so I figured I’d share my TRR find! It is not the show stopper like that eternity band of @Django74th but it was still a fun find for me! It only fits my pinky which is possibly not great with my three stone but I find I like it. I love the shape and the stones all seem bright and lively. It was listed as a 5 but it is at least a 5.5 which was annoying as my pinky is a 5.

The Tiffany Lucida band was delivered today, and though it's quite lovely, I'm not as wowed by the color of the sapphires as I hoped to be.
I was hoping to see this:

But I mostly see this:


If this was more my everyday style, I would probably keep it because it really is lovely, the quality is fantastic, and it fits me perfectly. Sadly, it just wasn't meant to be.

I’m confused because you said you were hoping to see this, but then you show a picture of the ring from TRR or at least from the tag it looks like TRR. Are you saying the picture of the ring in the box is not the one you got?

I think she’s talking about the difference in the colour between the two pictures. She was hoping the colour would look like the top picture but mostly it just looks like the colour of the bottom picture.

I think it looks really pretty as is and is a really nice compliment to your engagement ring. The diamonds look really nice so if you ever get tired of it, they would make a pretty killer wedding band to go with your three stone

Sorry, @Dreamer_D got my meaning. I was hoping the color of the sapphires would be a more vibrant blue like in the first picture. Don't get me wrong, they are very nice, I just needed it to be more on the exceptional side to justify keeping it, since it really doesn't work with anything else I own.

Got it. I see what you mean when I see the second picture. I'm sorry it did not work out! At the same time, as a bling addict sometimes that is relieving since it's $ saved lol.

Absolutely! Knowing there was a substantial price tag attached to it made the decision easier and less emotional.

Thank you! And yes, I had that thought also, I figured I would find another use for them if I didn’t end up wearing it on my pinky!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Well, we'll see if I love it enough to keep it when it arrives, but I just snagged a Tiffany Lucida band I'd had my eyes on for a while but it sold, then was returned, then sold again as soon as it was relisted, then was returned again. Not really a bargain, nor my typical style, but I love the Lucida cut.

i hope it has found its forever home now

That price is INSANE.

 

[LightBright]

Interesting! I get free 2 day shipping if I call and ask, my SA is in CA and I’m the Midwest. but I’ve never had anyone offer me something before it goes on the site. I’m sure I don’t spend enough. Let us know if they offer you anything good!

I suggest your ask SA directly along the lines of “here are the perks offered to my associate, do I qualify for same?”

I just bought something I had been eyeing for a long time during the recent buy-more-get-money sale thing. I think it's stunning but would love other thoughts! Fred Leighton, around $1500 on the credit card and a future $200 store credit for a future purchase. I haven't cleaned it yet, I don't actually know how to clean chalcedony....

I love it and it’s perfectly my style (a little witchy, glowy cab, large proportions) but is it your style? You seem unsure.

I think it’s pretty too… but if you don’t LOVE it, I would send it back and wait for a piece you don’t want to live without.

Very sage advice. I agree 100%

 

[newtojewels]

I love it and I think the size is beautiful! I think it looks smaller in person than in the photos. But I'm going to hang onto it for the return period to contemplate just because I have been buying a lot of jewelry recently. It would be better if my eBay listing for a Tiffany necklace I don't wear would sell.... I do think it's way more special than many pendants I could get for the price and it looks beautifully made.

gahhhhh Iove this! It's a glowing orb

I was expecting it to be flatter and less shiny based on the original photo but it really looks very glowing orb! Definite full moon vibes.

I think it’s pretty too… but if you don’t LOVE it, I would send it back and wait for a piece you don’t want to live without.

I'm going to see it in lots of different lighting too and with real clothes instead of lounge clothes, kind of contemplate it in my life. I don't own a lot of necklaces and it reads as more everyday than I expected too.

So basically I'm trying to temper my emotions and be reasonable. I think it's beautiful, but I shouldn't have spent the money, but I can afford to have spent the money, bla bla bla. So just contemplating!

Will keep you all posted!

I'm so glad you got it!! I love it, and to me it looks like the sort of under the radar piece you can wear with most anything.

I love this. It was in my cart a few times, but I don’t really wear pendants.

I bought these recently - l love a statement earring.
