Love it all. We could swap and share so many things!
Thank you for the nice words @LLJsmom, @Sprinkles&Stones, @MissGotRocks, @Catmom, @hathalove, @DorotheaBrooke, @Slick1, and @bling_dream19!
I got the ring in June. It's previous owner is a PS'er and the ring was purchased from Jewels by Grace. I didn't do a thread on it but here are a few more pics -

). Plus the face is nicer on the medium - can’t see it in the picture, but the face is a shimmering champagne. The small has a flat cream face. 
Santos Dumont mechanical & Tiffany Knot bangle:
I upgraded my watch - I have the small Santos Dumont, with quartz movement. I really wanted a mechanical movement, plus I thought, hey, I think I’d like a bigger face (who knew DSS apple to watch faces too
The Knot bangle was an impulse buy, in that I went to the boutique because I was curious about it, tried it on, and then absolutely could not bear to take it off. I usually wear it as in the second pic, on the right hand, with a Love bangle.
Beaded ring for my helix piercing and rose-cut diamond dangles for my second lobe piercings
A good 2021!
Okay, I have gathered enough courage to post what I got this year. There are some new and some preloved from lovely ladies here. The theme is gemstones apparently and I have fallen down the slippery slope of colorful gems. I hope to share some of them here and a few more are still making their way to my mailbox lol.
This year, I fulfilled by birthstone by buying a beautiful color lab emerald from @Mreader and found a beautiful 18kt WG diamond rounds and baguette halo at my local jewelry shop. It was a match made in heaven. I’m a May baby so I just adore emerald. I have no fear of wearing this daily due to it being lab created.
Next, I sold my JuliaB wildflower ring but kept the lab ruby and found 18kt diamond halo setting at the same store. This is definitely the largest ring I have. I mainly just wear it around the house for fun and even in pjs. Lol
I fell in love with this “antique” Ceylon sapphire diamond halo in platinum and 18kt YG. It was preloved and I honestly forgot which Pser I bought it from. If it’s you, thank you. It’s a beautiful ring and I adore it everyday.
I couldn’t help myself when @Nikki1415 sold her setting. It used to house an OEC diamond. I asked Gary to custom cut a hot pink lab sapphire in OEC to match it. This stone is blindingly hot. It glows in the evening.
I secretly adore @nutellakitty collection of gemstone and admire this particular vivid purple sapphire. Thank you for selling me this beautiful unheated beauty. Mind blown.
I just love this color combination of Mahenge spinel and indolite tourmaline from @nutellakitty but sadly this one is in the preloved section. My ring finger have blown up after 3 kids.
I was luckily enough to buy this ruby ring from @lilmosun and freshdama from @Nikki1415. They paired beautifully.
I was lucky enough to browse through LT when I came across this Zircon beauty from @lknvrb4. Surrounded by round and baguette diamonds, this was simply a work of Art Deco.
This jadeite pendant with Miraculous Medallion was a Christmas gift from my mother. It is beautiful untreated type A and semi translucent. I used my old 18kt gold chain and it is beyond beautiful. It will be my everyday necklace from now.
I also upgrade my tennis bracelet this year. I bought IDJ super ideal cut tennis bracelet 6ctw in 14kt YG from @winnietucker and sold my JamesAllen one to another Pser friend.
I finally found a Tahitian strand from @yssie to match with my Tahitian pendant which was a gift from my mom. It is not an exact match but still a beauty. Thank you yssie.
There are three more rings arriving this week. I think I am honestly done with buying this year and the next year and the next. I have sold a lot here and bought a lot here and made many friends. I want to thank all of you ladies and take my leave to ban island. Haha.
It is beautiful and looks perfect on your hand! Very happy for you!Thank you for the nice words @LLJsmom, @Sprinkles&Stones, @MissGotRocks, @Catmom, @hathalove, @DorotheaBrooke, @Slick1, and @bling_dream19!

PS: I totally forgot this guy. Unheated yellow sapphire with diamond halo. I called it my buttercup flower ring.
1. I tweaked my engagement ring
2. This bracelet was for my anniversary, and is my favorite piece of jewelry.
3. VCA Frivole earrings for my birthday
4. The elephant charm and the dbl c charm.
5. This Cathy Waterman ring I found on EBay
And there is one more ring that I don’t have any pictures of.
I did less pieces in 2021 than I think I've done in a long time. And a couple of the pieces I did have made, I didn't keep. But I did a couple of pieces I truly adore, plus a few smaller pieces to fill in some gaps to my collection.
First and foremost - Beloved.
4.05ct H VS1 in 18kt yellow, with platinum detail. 2 matching bands. 1 x 7 stone band (1.85ctw, colorless, eye clean stones, all individually certified, all ideal cuts) - same style.
My beautiful cluster with 1.51 G VS2 center, and 2.1ctw of E VS sides - platinum.
Joy - my enamel bracelet. 18kt, mostly solid charms.
I had a number of pearl drop jackets made to go with my OEC studs. And then I had halos added to the studs. Here's an example of one pair of pearls on the newly halo'd studs. The studs are roughly 2.1ctw in platinum and the pearls are beautiful akoyas - 9mm. These ones are pink/purple/lavender color, but I also have grey with green and pink overtones, and a lovely pair of blues. They're all set in platinum and will all be worn with the same halo'd studs.
One shot without the pearls.
I also bought a 1.22ctw E VS pair of diamonds and had them set into studs.
A bypass Victorian pearl ring, and I replaced the rather damaged pearls with these pale pink akoyas.
And that's it for 2021, as far as "new projects that I kept" goes. I also did a bunch of tweaks and remakes, but you've seen them all before and none of them is substantial.
I have a pair of rather gorgeous platinum and diamond drops currently in production for 2022, a beautiful 20kt, very heavy, yellow gold ring, which has been made but which I won't receive until Valentine's Day, and I'm planning to have an enamel and diamond locket made for my birthday in June - and that's probably it for this year. At some point there will be a diamond necklace and a three stone with an emerald center - but these last 2 pieces probably won't be this year. They will also be my last 2 pieces.
a pearl necklace I got for Christmas.
both new to me - diamond spinel ring and 22k gold band
V.chrysoberyl in an antique mount
converted baguette half eternity
diamond and imperial topaz
diamond and gold pretzel necklace

gold snake bracelet and paper clip chain bracelet

And there is one more ring that I don’t have any pictures of.
Looking back, the following projects were completed or I purchased the following:
1. 10.5 mm white South seas studs (I don't have any photos)
2. Blue akoya studs (no photos either)
3. French cut ruby and old mine diamond ring (1.5 years in the making)
4. Antique oval in a deco setting design - also a project that took over a year
5. I made some earrings:
6. I bought some vintage earrings:
7. I set a tsav garnet I have had for a couple years:
8. I reset my 3.09 omc:
I believe that pretty well covers it. I hope so, especially looking back.

Such a cool thread! Worked on my bracelet stack with the top and bottom vintage plat bracelets. The diamond dangle necklace is from PFG. It takes terrible photos, but in person the little diamonds are in constant motion and the step cuts flash so it’s very twinkly and fun to wear.
