Your Latest Jewelry Purchases/Things You're Considering....

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but won't the net scratch the pearl? I'm asking because I've been longing to layer my pearl strand with my gold chains, but I'm afraid the gold chains will scratch the pearls. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

They generally take care to assure the metal net doesn’t have pointy bits that would scratch. Also once nestled it I don’t think it moves much.

In my mind the risk of scratching is lower damage than intentionally drilling a hole ‍.

Also I currently layer a polished gold chain with my pearls and so far haven’t noticed scratches. Even with my loupe.

I did a thing...

The pics above are from the vendor. I'll take some handshots and such as soon as I can.

I'm loving this so far. Just need to decide which finger I want to wear it on, because it'll determine whether it needs to be resized.

The engraving is stunning!!! Can you tell us the secret of where you found this beauty? The emeralds look sweet as candy.

Thank you for this reply! I will begin layering as soon as possible. =)2 P.S. Your pearls look lovely with that chain.

Thanks! I’d avoid anything with prongs and cutlets but smooth metal should be ok unless you’re doing jumping jacks in them haha
 
I purchased this forever home for my oval and I cannot believe this beauty is on my hand!

My 2 new WF ACAs are headed to DKJ, and DKJ also has my center stone. So we're off to the races! YAY!

I'm guessing about...3 weeks to be made, perhaps? Will possibly have it early March.

They’re here!!!!! I got so excited I just had to put on my bracelet with my scrub top after work.

That bracelet turned out so beautiful. What a great vision you had for it!
 
Cannot live without a three stone. Just can't.

Just bought 2 x .41ct ACAs from WF to go either side of a .96ct Blue Nile Astor ideal that I already own. Will be a lovely little three stone day-to-day/travel ring that I'm guessing I might wear quite a lot. Beloved is a big ring that draws a lot of attention, and I don't always *want* to draw a lot of attention. So this will be something lovely that's a bit more utilitarian.

All stones F/VS ideal cut, platinum head and 18kt yellow gold band - it will go with my original wedding band.

Yay!

I cannot wait to see this, @mrs-b! I absolutely adore trilogy rings (and admittedly have a bit of a three-stone fixation myself!) and I'll be eager to see your new creation in a few weeks! Yay indeed!! :dance:

@mrs-b What size stones did you go with?

Waaaaaaayyyyy :kiss2::kiss2::kiss2: So excited to see this!

I love the proportions you've picked, another piece of mrs-b+DKJ perfection coming right up! David has my sapphire at the moment, I'll tell it to say hi to your diamonds :bigsmile:

That's so funny - why do I feel like you and I are just that smidge closer to each other, since our gems are in the same place?? What are you having made, @Dandi? And are there photos of your sapphire anywhere? I'd love to see!

It's a lab sapphire so it's featured in the lab thread, but here are the CADs. The diamonds are .25ct a piece, it's gonna be a biggun!

The proportions were largely inspired by your stunning cluster

Sounds fabulous! Do I need to go to the lab thread to find the CADs? I LOVE the big ones!
 
Whoa BABY!!

4mm diamonds in the CLUSTER?? YOWZA!!!

I LOVE it!! And that size is TDF! Doooooo iiiiiiitttt!!

Can't wait to see it, @Dandi! Are there photos of the sapphire anywhere? It deserves a RIPPER!

ETA. Makes no difference to me that it's a lab sapphire. I like colored gems for their color, and it's rare that you get a natural gem with better color than a lab gem.

I'm so glad you think so! I had a play with some 3.5mm stones a while back, and they just didn't quite cut it for me. But I'm sure the 4mms will. The setting is white gold, and the shank and bottom part of the gallery are rose gold.

Here 'tis! Gary Braun cut it for me, it's absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for your feedback, it really means a lot :love:

I love it! I think it's beautiful. Gorgeous color, too!

Beautiful!!
 
Just recently had this wedding band made by DKJ, finally can have a wedding band that sits flush with my engagement and at the same time have some personality! It was a wonderful experience!

Gorgeous! I saw this on IG! I love it!
 
I have been very bad this weekend, this whole month actually. So this shall be it until probably the end of the year until I learn to release some my personal collection. I do love them all though so I shall suffer until then. Oh why doesn’t money grow on trees?

First up is this vintage Heavy sterling silver bracelet. It had my husband’s initial engraved and while I’m normally more of a dainty jewelry girl, I was very drawn to it.

I thought it needed a little more sparkle, so I promptly bought one of these antique mini rose cut Diamond heart charm for it. It is half an inch and thought would be perfect together with that K medallion.

And last but not the least, I am on a brooch kick lately.I do wear them as brooches or hair pins whenever I go out (pendants as well) if I ever find the perfect chain, so the cost per wear is justifiable to me. This rose cut bow in all its beauty!! This will be it for a while for me, so let me just live vicariously through all of you!

Edited to add: These are all seller photos. Only the bracelet has reached me yet.

@ean - do you know the provenance of your bracelet? Because I'd bet my last dollar that that's a Tiffany 'notes' charm.
