Considering the tiffany hardwear necklace in sterling silver. Or, alternatively, finding a similar u-link chain in gold (since the brand name isnt important to me and the price of the gold one from tiffany is painful).

Beyond. I hear you on this. Would love it myself, but...nope.

However, I LOVE Tiffany silver! Hoping you take the leap with this wonderful design in what is a favorite metal of mine and incredibly under-appreciated, in my opinion.

@mrs-b You asked me for the name of the Etsy seller where I bought my oxidized sterling silver chain. It came yesterday. It’s perfect for the acorn. The quality is excellent.

Thanks so much! I keep waffling back and forth about it and whether I'd prefer a non-Tiffany version in gold versus the Tiffany one in silver. I get paranoid about tarnishing, etc.

I've contemplated this one in the past, it looks fairly similar.

I have also made enquiry with Vijay at Ouros about an OEC LGD about 0.5ct, with the intention to set in a simple Gypsy setting in Platinum as a third right hand ring.

I am like a kid in a toy shop at the moment.

@lovedogs I have a lot of Tiffany sterling pieces. The only Tiffany silver I ever had to polish was a bangle. The rest of the pieces don’t tarnish on me. I noticed that if I wear it often it doesn’t tarnish. I tend to play with my jewelry. I don’t know if that keeps the tarnish at bay. I also heard that the newer pieces do tarnish more quickly. I know this wasn’t really helpful..Sorry..

With the cost of the silver Tiffany one I would totally spend the money on a gold one that’s not Tiffany.

Yeah, that is definitely what I am tempted to do, since the u-link design is a common one and overall I'd prefer gold to silver (I think). But I'm still being indecisive

 

[MamaBee]

@lovedogs I just went to check out how much the Tiffany silver one costs. That’s so expensive for sterling silver! If it would make you happy to know it’s a Tiffany piece then it’s worth it. I couldn’t believe the solid gold necklace was less expensive though..I can’t wait to see what you decide!

Yeah. Whoever makes the prices for tiffany has lost their dang minds. I would be buying it second hand, so it would be equal to a 14k piece from one of the vendors (or others) from etsy. But the idea of paying as much for 14k vs silver is just silly.

I get wanting a Tiffany one though. I don‘t think it’s silly at all..I have a small Tiffany solitaire pendant. Yes..my husband could have purchased a larger diamond necklace from somewhere else for way less..but I LOVE that he went to Tiffany.

I really dig this in silver. My sister has the bracelet and it is fabu. I should ask her if she polishes it much.

I 100% agree. I just truly dont care about the brand (but dont disparage those who do!) So for me, it seems extra silly since I know I'm paying soooo many times more for something that doesnt matter for me personally

I’ve had some tarnish if I don’t wear them for a long time, but they polish up easily IMO.

I am eyeing a watch, another Ebel Beluga, a Tonneau with diamonds on the case as well as on the dial.

The collection has been discontinued, so there are not many new ones about.



I just love the curvy design of their Beluga watch bracelet, and have 2 already: a Manchette and a full size Lady's watches, both with MOP dials and diamond hour markers.

Bigger pair of earring jackets for my near 1cttw studs, with 2.5mm stones in an air gap/line halo design.

It means I can get some nicer CS studs for the jackets at a later date too!

LGD will do that…

Not sure if I have mentioned this in here, however, the 6 x 4mm LGD MRBs I bought from @Dandi will now be set in heart-shaped dangle drops for my tiny diamond huggies.

Inspiration pics of the drops I have in mind:


My tiny earth-mind diamond huggies with my paved diamond drops, and I would like to have more drops made to wear with them as I find them very versatile (a pair of 6mm OEC drops with Moissys will be made soon):

Love the pave drops!!

A pair of Aquamarine pears as drops for earrings, and possibly another Aqua for a ring; and have made enquiries with Jeff W after seeing a pic of his goodies picked from from Tucson this year.

I love Aquamarines.

You have some beautiful bling planned @dk168! I can’t wait to see everything! The pave drops are gorgeous!

 

[autumngems]

So it's a platinum ring with French cut channel set emeralds. There's also milgrain and engraving throughout the top half of the ring.

And here's what it looks like on me! I'm 90% sure I'm gonna end up sizing it down so I can wear it on my ring finger. But I need to marinate on it some more...

She just posted a sapphire one as well

 

[lucida818]

Argh.........can’t decide between a regular RG JUC & VCA Perlee bracelet
No way that I have enough bling budget for both...... after having a custom shared-prong bangle made, to be ready hopefully in mid Apr
