How could you not oblige your sweet SA? There was moon cake! That’s ok. It’s only once a year... the sweet carnelian is totally worth it!Thank you @mol42 That rarely happens, seeing a piece and knowing that it is just YOU. It is so rare that I think I'm just imagining things. When I saw it on the first time a couple of weeks ago, I just thought, how unexpectedly pretty. Then I couldn't stop thinking about it, and I bought it within 3 weeks of seeing the chalcedony, although the version I fell in love with was the 20 motif.
When did you get the carnelian sweet? Pics? I love mine. I love staring at it too. What is it about these pieces that just GROW on you??
@LLJsmom well I picked up the sweet bracelet after the autumn moon festival. It was sorta accidental, certainly unintended. You see, I have the sweetest SA at NM, who sends me goodies from time to time. For Autumn Moon Festival, he sent the most gorgeous package of moon cakes and tea, with a little note asking me to stop by. So of course I had to and I ended picking up the bracelet. DH says they are the most expensive moon cakes evah!!
I think these pieces are just so beautifully made, and the more you learn about the process, the more you appreciate the craftsmanship and it’s such a Sweet pleasure to just catch a glimpse of it throughout the day (at least that’s how I rationalize it!) Do you see the chalcedony 20 motif in your future?
Wanna be twins??The chalcedony stands out more. But I agree that a white MOP would be a staple.
Wanna be twins??
Hi @Phoenix , just to tempt you some more...Hehe, I am tempted!
Yes I will get links removed. Just waiting a little bit to be sure. And don’t want to give it up for 3 weeks. Thank you @CareBear !! Though you are an enabler.@LLJsmom I ADORE chalcedony on you! The bracelet is totally gorgeous! Do you plan on having some links removed from the bracelet? I'm going to be an enabler and say, GET THE 10-motif!!!
I was tempted myself after seeing your pics wearing the 20motif.
Hi @Phoenix , just to tempt you some more...
Here are some pics in the morning at my PT session.
Seriously though. If it wasn’t part of your original plan don’t let it sidetrack you! But if you love it I would love a twin. You will need to try on to be sure. I think it may look different on different skin tones.
Thanks @PierreBear and you can get a Swatch too for the bargain basement price of $60. Helps with saving for my next bracelet.Oohhh what a fun watch too! Stylish, lady!

Funny you should ask just now @yssie it is currently being shortened. I can hardly stand the wait.Coming back for another gander
That cool violet-ey blue suits your colouring so well @LLJsmom and I LOVE the asymmetric, non-matching striations in your motifs!!
Have you had it shortened?
Are you still considering the agate?
