Whose collection would you want, and why?

Ok, just cause @DorotheaBrooke got specific, how about the rent-a-piece program if you can't afford the whole collection?

By item:
Earrings: @yssie's VCA pave cosmos in WG, @carbonfan's CER studs from Victor
Bangles: @m-2-b's VCA clover bangle (no one has the single row...yet)
Pendant: no one's - my long term project
RHR: no one's - I'm working on it
e-ring: I'm keeping mine. It's perfect for me.
 
I can’t choose. I love something about everyone’s collection. Truth.

I appreciate it all even when it’s not something I’d wear. I see the beauty in it nonetheless.

My taste runs to antique but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the gorgeous modern diamonds and pieces.
I love it ALL.

And I love the PSers who generously share with us. Thank you for brightening our day with blingtastic breathtaking pieces. :kiss2:

What’s more special are the PSers themselves. Who shine more brightly than their gorgeous bling. Inside and out. I mean it. I’ve seen the true beauty and it‘s PSers themselves. The bling is just gravy. So to speak. ♥️

Thank you to everyone who mentioned my pieces. That means a lot to me. XOXO
 
Great thread but I can't possibly choose.... there are so many that I love. Catmom's, Zestfully bling, Yssie, Missy, diamondseeker, Christy-Danielle to name a few!!

Aww thanks cushioncutnut!!! You know I would take any of your collection.
 
Haha - I love this thread!! I'm going to take @LLJsmom approach:

E-ring + RHR: @Neptune (I'd still keep my e-ring, but maybe make a moi et toi with that killer pear shaped emerald. Side note that it was way too hard to pick just one picture of that EC)

Antique stone: @Resonance.Of.Life 's Isla (not sure who the current owner is, but this is one of the first PS stones I died over :kiss2:)

Thanks @SandyK, you take specificity to a whole new level. Well, if I had to chose by gold, I have a lot more work to do. BRB. :lol-2: Need to accumulate my new collection.
 
Wow that stone from @Resonance.Of.Life is incredible. This thread is nice also bc it brings up past members- I would love to know if she found her upgrade!

Same!! Topping Isla seems like a near-impossible feat - I watched that video of the stone countless times.

I love these picks!! And pics! The @hathalove stack- who makes the spiky bracelet? David Yurman? I love it!

she did but it was not a forever upgrade...still on the search!
 
So today I learned that I just want everybody’s bling. Big or small, I love it all. :mrgreen: Still, I tried to narrow it down to a few (because there’s no way I could pick just one. And because I’m a good PSer, I included pics. :love:

@NKOTB probably has my favorite collection (though I know some of these have been sold over the years...and, boy, do I wish I bought that blue sapphire ring).

Wow you are the best PSer ever! What an awesome collage! And I forgot that @NKOTB has the asscher that had belonged to @ForteKitty so I am also adding her to my list ha ha Ha
 
@elle_71125 I think we could have picked out a kind of startling number of those as pieces you’d call your favourites :bigsmile: Funny how we know each other sometimes!
 
Isn't that the truth. You start to know your fellow PSers preferences almost as well as your own. :lol:

And then you start chatting with them offline, because you’re finding that you have more in common than gemstones alone…

And then you’ve got people in your phone contacts listed by PS handle…

And then your other half uses your phone for something and asks you about all those strange names and chat groups…

And then your other half uses your phone for something and doesn’t even comment on the strange names and chat groups because he or she has come to just expect it :lol:

My first stops on this hypothetical, genie-enabled marauding would be @Neptune , @HollyC and, of course, @yssie .

Neptune’s ring collection includes a (generous) example of every gemstone I’d like to own someday, all executed in clean, fresh-yet-timeless settings. She wears them so well, too. I would love to borrow all of her shocking-colored furs and such. Pretty please.

HollyC’s collection includes some of my favorite iconic, design-forward pieces: gold Peretti Bone Cuff, Serpenti Tubogas watch, Taffin-inspired pear-shaped diamond ring, etc, etc. Like…if I believed in ~manifestation~, I’d have a vision board exclusively featuring screenshots of her collection, lol.

And then you have yssie’s collection. Every piece is so thoughtful and comes with a story — there’s a real, harrowing journey, man. The knowledge that I can’t have the same, not for love nor money, makes it all the more enviable :lol:. Another PS friend described yssie as a true “patron of the arts” when it comes to jewelry, and I have to agree! And not just because I hope shameless flattery will inspire her to lend me a few things…
