These inside out diamond hoop earrings are on their way to me

I've been eyeing them for a while at my Costco store. Finally pulled the trigger because they are $200 off right now.

They are 2ctw, set in 14k WG. Even though they are not big (about dime sized), they are quite blingy because of the design.

I just got this VCA rose gold carnelian sweet Alhambra bracelet. I love it and it looks perfect with my other two rose gold bracelets!

Is the butterfly bracelet Messika? How do you like it? Is it easy to wear?

I just love the 3D design, very eye catching

Hello,
Yes. It is. I absolutely love it! It’s my favorite bracelet. Very easy to wear and it has five rings so I keep the clasp on the middle one. It’s funny but I originally had a similar one from Zina on Etsy and returned it and regretted it.
I have been searching for one since then and found this one on a British website. They wouldn’t deliver to me in the US so I had it shipped to a relative in London. She then gave it to her MIL to bring over when she visited NY. Her MIL then mailed it to me and I got it within a week and a half from when I placed my order.

Wow! Quite a journey the bracelet took to get to you

The inside out hoops are here!!

I love them!! They feel light on the ears and sparkle so beautifully with every movement of my head.

They are probably on the dressier / blingier side of an everyday piece (for me), but definitely doable because of the smaller size.

If you are considering them, I would recommend you go ahead and order them while they are still on sale. You can always return if you don't love them.

Here is a quick ear shot for you

This 18-karat yellow gold lovely became mine yesterday -- .75 carat unheated sapphire surrounded by eight old mine cut diamonds. It's approximately 120 years old, and it just glows. I can't stop staring at it. Also, it's not easy to take a good photo of your own hand.

@Redwoods-hiker-girl -

This is beautiful! Congratulations! Also, I was wondering - did you ever re-set your heart-shaped diamond? If you did, I'd love to see it; it was such a lovely heart!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

@bespokecarmel @Yelena thank you!!!

I love halos and this is a little different from what I usually pick but I am on a quest to try all the halos!

Here is an extra pic of it glowing! It glows when it is in natural light.

This is stunning. I can see why you cannot stop staring at it. Swoon!
Congratulations on a gorgeous ring. Wear in health and blingy happiness.

Ok I love them!!!! I'm going to order them tomorrow! They look beautiful on you @GlitterInMyHair they look like a lovely size. I have larger diamond hoop earrings from costco that I love but i would love smaller and i these would fit the bill of what I'm looking for. And returns are always an option. Your new hoops look sooo classy and blingy on you. Enjoy and thank you soo much for sharing. They've been festering and I was kind of waiting to see when you got yours so thank you. Hugs!

Haha, always happy to enable a fellow PS'er

If they are the size you are looking for, I think you will be very happy with them.

Hi, Mrs-B! Thank you so much.

I haven't yet had the heart-shaped diamond reset. It is such a lovely heart, yes — I love it just as much as the day it arrived. I have gone back and forth between what would be better, either a simple bezel set on a gold bangle bracelet, or a ring with the diamond set lower, with much nicer prongs, and with small sapphires set into a yellow or rose gold band. (Sapphire was my mother's birthstone, and I bought the ring to symbolize our time together when she was sick and I cared for her.) Decisions, decisions. . . .

Aw, thank you, Yelena! I could just get lost in that beautiful blue.

Thank you so much, Missy! I'm very swoony over it!

I’m hoping to acquire this charming necklace.
fingers crossed

Shoul receive this mid next week.

If anything, I see OECs in perfect bezels ready for DBTY!

I've recently bought 2 x 1/4ct mrbs so I now have 10 to turn my yellow sapphire into a (big!) cluster. And I bought a heart shaped diamond and a pear shaped diamond to add to the other pear and heart I already have to make a shield ring. That will complete 2 more projects - hurray!

Now to save up for settings....

@amoline - I edited the above for clarity and for the sake of your heart!!

Ooh looking forward to seeing your new projects completed. A big yellow cluster and a shield ring sound gorgeous.

At first, I misread your post (at least, I think I did), and thought you were essentially saying you recently bought (an amount) of 2.25 ct MRBs, so now you have 10 diamonds @ 2.25 ct each for some monster halo.

I just about fell on the floor because I thought what a RIDICULOUS halo/cluster, lol. Then I reconsidered that it was probably 2 diamonds @ .25 ct

If you really do mean 10 diamonds at @ 2.25 ct, I will now return to the floor.

All is well and you can stay off the linoleum, @amoline! I'm putting 10 stones - each between 25 and 27 points around a bezel set yellow sapphire. It will be very substantial, but not quite at the ridiculous level!

Thanks @missy The shield ring (for want of a much better term) is two pears, set point to point and running north-south, then two hearts, set point to point and running east-west. The bottom pear is larger than the top pear and the whole thing will have a tiny ruby set in the center. Engraving and an oxidized finish with give it a Victorian, slightly gothic, vibe. Perhaps a 'clover ring' would be a better description?
