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

I have finally collected my special commemorative Canadian coin with a design inspired by the late QEII's Aquamarine tiara (still in the family, however not sure if Queen Camila has worn it yet).

It is made with simulants as in CSs I believe, perhaps Swarovski crystals, however it is big size and sparkly to be made into a pendant.

Probably just a basic coin holding frame, or if budget allows, an a halo of micro diamond melees.

@Daisys and Diamonds I have it now!

These earrings from Ouros:

I have been trying to find a pair of more blingy small hoop type earrings that hug my big fat earlobes without making me look like a chameleon, so that I could wear them on their own.

These are LGDs and not expensive, and I like the design. I shall ask for a photo of the side view of the hoop and dimensions too before I push the buy button.

Oooh, I love the way they arc back and hug the bottom of the lobe!
 
Won this on eBay auction—the “natural African ruby and diamond eternity” but now wondering—is it natural af ruby?

It's pretty either way. Is it a full eternity?
 
I just bought a tennis necklace and already have my eye on another piece! What do you think of this “spike” necklace? Yellow gold, natural diamonds, GH/SI, adjustable with 3 jump rings. (I wouldn’t necessarily pair it with the black sweater!) Never seen anything quite like it.IMG_3091.pngIMG_3090.png

I think this has a visually interesting silhouette. I actually like it against your black sweater because the black emphasizes the silhouette. But I could also envision the necklace working well against your skin too as part of a stack with other chains, or tennis necklaces, etc.

Thank you! It really does seem like a unique piece. And you’re right that it actually does work with the black!
 
I just got a ring today from Sean Gilson and Andrew Moline (@molinePDG)! Andrew had the naturally blue Akoya pearls and did the pearl layout, inspired by a previous design Sean had made with all white Akoya pearls. Sean approved of the layout then made my ring!

Here's the thread with more photos: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/toi-et-moi-pearl-rings.286168/post-5391813

And only one here so I don't spam my pearls over here since I think they aren't really supposed to be in SMTB. Sneaking them in, shhhhh! :Up_to_something:

Oh my! That is BEAUTIFUL!
 
Now that I can pick up 1ct LGD pears for about 175 USD, I may have these drops made as interchangeable drops for my tiny diamond huggies:

I've got a big anniversary coming up in May and i'm having a whole new wedding set made by my jeweler, as we speak! I'm having an eternity band made of natural rubies, which came from a pair of earrings that i wasn't wearing much and decided to re-purpose (DH's birthstone is the ruby and there is a beautiful symbolism there!). I'm also having a marquise diamond solitaire ring made to go with the new eternity band!
Also, since my original wedding set is made of white gold, i decided to have the new rings made in yellow gold, so that i can wear them with the rest of my yg jewelry!
I'm very excited about this project and i will post photos when the pieces are done!

Hello @dk168 ! I think that Queen Camilla has debuted the Aquamarine tiara on the 19th of November 2024, during a diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace. She combined the beautiful tiara with a mesmerizing Aquamarine necklace and matching earrings!AirBrush_20250207114146.jpg She looked fantastic!
I am attaching photos!

Not this one, sorry, there is a bigger Aqua tiara in the Royal Collection, this one which is the inspiration for the design of the coin:

Yesterday I tiptoed off Ban Island and into the sea. I am convinced Ban Island is in the South Seas because I pounced on these golden SS pearls. Not my usual colour and wondering whether to keep them. They are 13mm, beautifully round and the surface is almost perfect. The colour is intense and deep, like 24K gold. They are set with diamonds in 18K rose gold.

Thank you, @mellowyellowgirl! You, @Starstruck8 @dk168 @higanbanya @seaurchin @Inked and @MamaBear helped me to decide to keep them. Thank you, dear PS friends! :mrgreen2: I am not so familiar with pearls nor do I wear them often.
I examined them under a loupe. They are so clean.
I can understand why you love your SS pearl ring. It is elegant - and huge!
A deep gold one on a ring would be amazing on you.
 
@Crimson another keep. You're warm toned so the color definitely works for you. I'm so jealous of your hair, it's beautiful!
I'm cool toned, so I'm looking for a pink conch set in platinum :)

Gorgeous! :kiss2:

Would you be back on Ban Island soon?

DK :lol-2:

Edited to add I can't wear yellow/brown/peach colours, so no golden SSP for me.

Aww, thank you @RRfromR, I have to thank my parents for my hair! I am actually neutral to cool toned so I am surprised the earrings didn’t look awful on me. I think the bright almost metallic lustre of the pearls and the contrast with my hair both help.

@dk168 haha, I have no intention of returning to Ban Island. I bought yet another item. Help…
Like you, I cannot wear mustard yellow, earth tones, brown or orange. My wardrobe is full of fuchsia, magenta, red, hot pink, cobalt blue, black and white and emerald greens. I think I can pull off these pearls because they are earrings. I cannot take an entire necklace of them!
