Where Do I Post My Dragonfly?

[Smith1942]

I'm somewhat confused as to where to post my new dragonfly brooch. It's made of gold filigree, with sparkly diamond-tipped wings, a line of akoya pearls down the body, and sapphire eyes.

The SMTB rules say it's for diamonds and "bling", no pearls but the dragonfly has body pearls in addition to the gold, diamonds and sapphires.

Despite the sapphires I can't put it in the Colored forum because that doesn't allow pearls.

I was going to put it in Jewelry Pieces, which seemed the most obvious - but they don't allow pearls either.

That leaves the Antique/Vintage section but although it's second-hand, the SA in E.B. Horn said it wasn't very old and guessed Eighties. So it doesn't fit in that section either.

Where shall I put it?

Also, I posted some sapphire and pearl earrings in SMTB a while ago and no one objected. I have some pearl and diamond earrings to post - they are pearl drops with a line of diamonds descending from the piercing with the pearl hanging at the end. Can I put them here? Is it the case that items with "bling" - i.e. diamonds and other stones - can be posted here if they also happen to contain pearls as well as diamonds, and the pearl forum is only for items that are 100% pearl?

If it's made of yellow gold, then post it in the now infamous "gold thread" in Jewelry Pieces!

Smith, are you in Boston? If so, I really hope you're safe!

POST IT EVERYWHERRRRRRRE

eta: This reply has nothing to do with my knowledge of PS rules and everything to do with my desires to see sparkly dragonfly.

eta2: I don't think we can properly answer this question without pictures.

Thanks for your concern, Rosetta! Yes, I'm safe.

I wanted to post in Jewelry Pieces but they don't allow pearls and the dragon fly has a pearl body

Will post tomorrow - bit distracted at the mo.

just post it in pearls? or is that just for necklaces?

There are pearls on it, but considering it is not a piece composed entirely of pearls, and has many, many other gemstones, I don't see why you couldn't post it in the Jewelry forum, or heck, even here on this thread in the "Show me the Bling"! If it was a piece mostly comprised of pearls, I could understand only posting on the pearl forum, but since they are but a small part of an entire piece with quite the assortment, I would think you would be safe to post it just about anywhere!

Please post your dragonfly, we all need a little bit of beauty today.

Well, I've been so distracted here in Boston from 3pm onwards that I've only just finished my work, and it's 2am. Tomorrow I have to get up early and take the project to my client, then rush back for some minor dental surgery. If I feel OK I will post the dragonfly tomorrow afternoon. I agree we need to see its delicate beauty right now.
