Puffy perfection! I love her!
 
I have been wanting an everyday solitaire necklace that I want to keep on throughout . I’d love to be able to buy it from Cartier but it is very expensive for me, for the size of diamond offered and so I picked up my little diamond yesterday and the jeweller is having it set, using one of my own chains that I brought along, can’t wait! 03FC3D41-E089-4314-A705-97600976AF09.jpeg

A great everyday piece. Smart way to go about getting it, too. Very pretty on you. It seems this was ready very quickly, lucky for you!

Thank you ! yes they did it in a day!
 
I'm waiting on sizing beads to be put into my solitaire and it is almost a month wait, which is tough waiting to get a new ring back. I will find a faster jeweler next time.

I'm so happy with your turn around!

I do hope you get your ring back soon and I’m sure it will be beautiful and worth the wait!

The prongs are wonky but diamonds are secure. The little mine cuts are so white and clear. My jeweler showed them on the microscope.

I am very happy with my new platinum band! The seller said it was .25 ctw but from the photo it looked bigger and am so pleased that it looks that way irl too. The stones are so well cut :)

I’ve made an unexpected purchase during our holiday. I was looking for a long time for rose gold diamond earrings matching my rose gold key pendant (not Tiffany, just inspired).
As I was browsing the shops this little beauty caught my eye:
756EC7D3-DA6F-48B7-90CB-31245F28E090.jpeg

It’s a cluster style, and has altogether 1 carat. I know, not everyone is a fan of cluster earrings, but I was looking for something affordable and suitable for everyday use. They just fit the bill.

And here a few earshots:

I've always wondered what the quality of Maria Tash is, because their pieces are quite pricey but they are really cute and fun! Love the idea of RealReal...there is nothing worse than dull or lifeless melee IMO so a little premium is worth it!

Really late response - but I had the same concerns as you @Cerulean regarding the quality of Maria Tash vs the price.

I picked up a Maria Tash lightning threaded earring pre-loved and have been wearing it in my conch piercing since getting it three or four months ago.

The diamonds are bright - they're small and delicate but very white, and I think I've only ultrasonic'd it once during this time.

Definitely not worth if if you're buying the >0.25ct pieces but for the pave, it's lovely.

Word of warning for the types of their earrings though: mine is a 'threaded' style that I would not recommend as the threaded post is thinner than normal (because it needs to go into the long threaded back). This means that (1) it bends easily, (2) the threads are thin and delicate which may wear out over time, and (3) the threaded back covering is thicker than normal, which may not fit into your piercing. Luckily my conch piercing is quite wide, as it wouldn't fit into my other (three) helix piercings.

It's worth trying on these threaded style earrings before committing to one!

It’s the perfect conch piercing with the fun lightning motif…I used to have mine too but it migrated too much over time. Boo!

And I got rid of my tragus bc of AirPods :lol:

I love these!!! They look great on you.
 
I fell in love with ivy jewels a while back because of Boucheron's Lierre de Paris collection (which of course is out of my price range). Today I saw a lady selling this as part of her personal collection for a reasonable price and couldn't resist. Using Valentine's gift for myself as an excuse, I got another brooch which I certainly don't need but must have :lol:

Edwardian platinum brooch featuring omc diamond encrusted ivy leaves!
