Hi Phoenix! I have missed you and so glad to hear you are well and happy!!!

Woohoo on getting into such fantastic shape and also on your new adventures.
I'm sorry about you losing the dangling earring and I hope it somehow turns up.

I am looking forward to seeing you more around PS and enjoying your beautiful bling pics too.
(((Hugs))) and welcome back.

Hi Missy!!

Thank you! I've missed you too. Happy to see your injury has healed up. I'm trying to read your thread, but it'll prob take me a few days...ok, more like a few weeks, ha ha...It's obvious that everyone here loves and adores you. You are indeed a very sweet, kind and special person.

Yes, getting back into shape took a lot of effort but am glad I've done it - more or less.

Unfortunately, my dangling earring is forever gone!!

I shall def be around. Not going anywhere, at least not forever. Happy to be back.

 

[Phoenix]

OMG, that was huge again!! I'm obviously picture - challenged! lol

We like huge pictures!

Hahaha, my pics are all over the place!

 

[Yimmers]

Hi Phoenix!

So glad you stopped back by! You have been one busy person. Congrats on the weight loss and the marathons. I wish
I had it in me! I'm so impressed when I see other people out there jogging but I cant seem to get my lazy butt off the
couch .

And your jewelry collection keeps get more and more amazing! Love the new hoop earrings and you DBTY necklace. They
look like they would be great for every day wear!

Don't be such a stranger!

Hello tyty!

I'm glad to be back. Ha ha, I'm not doing the marathons. Still trying to do a half, but we shall see...but thanks though.

Thank you for your kind words re the jewellery too. Yes, a lot of these are for everyday wear.

I won't be!

 

[Phoenix]

Phoenix - your collection is amazing! Looking forward to more photos of your collection and seeing your various projects unfold!

Thank you, Ricezo!

I'll keep you guys informed. And yes defintely more pics!

 

[Phoenix]

My goodness, Phoenix!!! You have bought a LOT of things since you last posted in Show Me the Bling!!! Thank you for coming to show us some of them! I love the bracelet! Such a nice size and a timeless piece! Everything else is lovely, too! Did you see that m-2-b got a new diamond ring recently??? Ava is almost a sister to Holly!

You'd better stop in more often from now on! We have missed you!

Thank you, DS. Well, the number seems a lot; but they're not terribly expensive. I needed to scratch that itch without spending a fortune!

Yes, the tennis bracelet has turned out to be such a great buy - I'm so enjoying wearing it, it's definitely a staple.

Thanks for alerting me to be m-2-b's Ava. I'd completely missed it. She's truly gorgeous!!

I'll def be around. I've missed you guys too!

 

[Phoenix]

I tell you, I'm the worst photographer! The colours IRL are closer to those on the left of the pic - very vibrant, only few are washed out.

OOOHHHHHHHH this!!!! What is going to happen with this! I love it!

Thank you, Asscherhalo_lover. My plan is to set them into 18k YG bangles and wear them together. I can't wait, actually!

 

[Phoenix]

Judy

Hiya July!

Thank you. Me too!

 

[OCmom3xboys]

Various rings & earrings.

Left to right: half-eternity ring in YG, peridot earrings (never worn these, for some reason), 3-stone ring in RG, beautiful Mandarin-orange spess's in double halo's, small peacock Tahitians (at least I seem to remember they're Tahitians), fakey "sapphire" earrings (would really LOVE to get real sapphires in this beautiful blue) and cheaper ruby ring (not sure what kind of ruby).

Phoenix, can you please post more pictures of your 3 stone ruby ring? Thank you.

 

[athenaworth]

WOW!! I want to more pics of your colored stone stuff!! (I'm greedy)

Thank you, Acinom!

You have an absolutely amazing collection yourself.

I'll try to post more pics. Yes, I'm not sure yet who's going to do my halo setting for Holly. I'm thinking Leon, but haven't quite made up my mind yet. I may start yet another thread when I'm ready to go ahead, to get advice from you guys.

Thank you, my Emilya is very sturdy. It's my go-to-daily ring now.

Thank you sooooo much, Mrs blop.

Whilst those coloured stones are not horrendously expensive, they were not cheap. The dealer had to show them to me on three separate occasions (he visits here every 2-3 months), before I finally gave in and splashed out on those.

Yes, that's what I've been thinking too - two bracelets only to be worn together. Me thinks they'll make a nice statement!

 

[m-2-b]

Do have anymore pics of your VC Emilya and halo'ed studs by chance?!

BTW, I've got a similar tcw diamond bracelet coming my way soon so I'm glad you're enjoying yours daily!

 

[arkieb1]

I had been wondering how you are!!!! Glad your back!!!!

 

[Porridge]

I haven't logged on to PS in forever and I come back to this goldmine! LOVE!! Please pretty please can I have some bonus shots of your beautiful pear? Do you still have that?

OCmom3xboys, thank you!

Do you mean the ring with the orangy-red Spess centre stone? If so, here are a couple of pics taken by Grace:

 

[Phoenix]

I'd like to share my most recent acquisitions - a 2.89ct tsav (absolutely gorgeous, even if I do say so myself - have been searching for such a tsav for several years now) and hot pink spinels totalling 1.35ctw.

Thinking of asking David Klass to set my tsav, probably in a split shank double halo setting with tsav melee in the inner one.

 

[Phoenix]

Wow, my pics are always so HUGE, lol!
