This little piggie cried "I''''m blingless!", soooooooo.........

[Allison D.]

Oh, and a footnote (LOL - literally).....

I went a bit larger on the stones. I think Mara used .007 and .008 stones; I bumped up a bit to .015 stones to make sure they showed up white (since I wasn''t setting in white metal).

The rings measure about 2.3mm width.

These are size 3.75.

(Let''s not even discuss the fact that Mrs. S. can probaby get one of these on her teeeeeeeeeeeny ENGAGEMENT finger!

)

Those are so cute. I think I want one toe ring, not a pair, though.

I know it''s rude to ask cost, but can you just tell me if you fit the two rings into the $500 budget? Thanks.

I don''t mind you asking. No, the budget didn''t cover both rings.....it covered a substantial part of one ring.

I love those toe rings! They have such a sense of whimsy and humor, and they are perfectly proportioned!

[Kaleigh]

I think they are fabulous!!! And YAY for yellow gold.

They look terrific on you Alj!!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

They look great!!!

yep mine are considered 1 pointers but they are a mix of .007 and .008s technically. my rings are 2mm and my toe size is 3.75 as well. it's hard to get the toes sized because most of us have a little bulb on the end of the toe but the toe part is thinner...so you have to size them to get over the bulb but then they could move around a lot on the thinner part. mine are SO hard to get off, i only take them off maybe once a year. i totally don't even notice them but i have been wearing toe rings for years, about 8! and 3-4 with these diamond ones...so i am def used to them!! as for having one vs two, i am a wacko about matching so one would bother me from a visual perspective, hehee.

OMG and yes how crazy is it that my toes are bigger than some of the PS gals ring fingers?? that's just SO wrong. finger lipo!!

 

[scarleta]

I know I am a bit late on this one..( haven''t been around lately)
I could not ignore to recognize such a generous spirit of Mara. WAY TO GO MARA..!!!!
May much more come your way in 2008!!!
Enjoy your gifts...

 

[LegacyGirl]

Oh my! I love this idea!!! I want some too.

 

[SuzyQZ]

Alj, those toe rings are such a wonderful indulgence.... and sexy too

What a great way to accessorize those piggies!

Mara, as always, you lead by example. You always make me stop and think and I thank you for that.

Spring is fast approaching just in time for you toe exhibitionists!

 

[TravelingGal]

I actually really like those in yellow! Congrats again Al! They look marvelous on your piggies!!!

 

[Jenn5504]

Adorable story and adorable piggie rings!

 

[lumpkin]

I love those little toe rings! You have very cute little piggies and I think they look very happy adorned in diamonds! Not to mention that the story behind them is so heartwarming -- that alone will keep your little piggies toasie!

 

[snlee]

Mara, that is such generosity! I know you share a very special friendship so am not surprised but it really does warm my heart to see such kindness! Alj, you totally deserve it! Love the pictures! They look fabulous on you!

 

[Diamond*Dana]

They are STUNNING! I love, love, love them to pieces!

 

[hlmr]

They look great Al!! Yay for twinkle toes!!

 

[kcoursolle]

Aw, they are sooooo cute, I want some!!!

 

[LostSapphire]

Holeee smokes!

I'm now sockless in the freezing NORTH...trying on all of my rings on my toes!

There are two 1/2 eternity rings in my jewellry box (1ct total weight EACH) and they are now both on my toes! I hardly ever wear them since the arrival of the door knocker this last fall, but I regretted not being able to stack them.

YIPPEEEEE my feet feel so good! I can hardly wait until sandal weather!

OMG I can't resist...quick GRAB THE CAMERA.....FORGET ABOUT THE WINTER FEET!! (I cropped out the worst of it, but I really need a pedicure!)

The rings are too big but that is easily remedied! I'm off to the jeweller tomorrow: I wonder if he'll be agreeable to using the ring sizer on my feet!

 

[cutes814]

congrats on the new piggy bling alj! they look really good!

mara, it was such a sweet thing for you to do! share the wealth together and endure the pain together!

 

[motownmama]

SO C UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU TE!!!!!

 

[Selkie]

Al, I loves ''em! Are they comfortable when you''re wearing closed-toed shoes?
I can sooo picture you wandering around in flip-flops staring down at your feet while outside snow is falling...

 

[Gemma12]

Those are great! I lurve them in the YG!

And LOL on the flip flops in winter to show off the toe rings!

 

[Dandi]

Mara and alj, bless both your little cotton socks. You truly deserve the little bit of luxury you both received. The toe rings are JUST GORGEOUS!!

(Mara... you have great feet!!!!!!)

And Logan Sapphire... you are a scream

I hope your toottie pegs are snug and warm now!

 

[Rhea]

Those are cute. I''m not sure what I was expecting but they are much cuter than I thought they would be. I hope you''re enjoying them!

 

[mara54]

I love the toe rings, they are beautiful. What a great idea for sharing with a friend. Enjoy!! Thanks for all your hard work on here to help others, Mara.

 

[Angel7]

I love them! Congrats again.
Great, now I have something to add to my wishlist.

Also Alj congrats on the new gig at Whiteflash!

I must be totally out of it to have missed that!

I''m going back on the boards now to see what threads I missed!

 

[rocks&purses]

This is such a wonderful story! So awesome. It''s always great to hear friendship stories. Can''t wait to see side by side piggies shot.
