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

+1!!!

Very clever to set it in a heart-shaped setting!

Thanks for sharing!

DK :kiss2:

I can't take credit for the setting. I bought it like that. It was the diamond I wanted, and I didn't think I would like the setting, because I don't really go into hearts. But, the setting is working out really well.
 
My DH loves the Cartier Trinity ring and - lo and behold- has started a man-stack with his slim yg WB.

Woo hoo!!

Pictures!
 

It is mine, my aqua :D! Arrives tomorrow. 4.31ct and 11.25 x 8.08 mm, so far the biggest stone in my modest collection. Considering gorgeous pendant but won't be able to start the project in the nearest future :(sad

This is such a gorgeous aqua. The color is so rich! :kiss2:

There you go!


It looks mich better irl... No muffin top effect irl

Sizing for him is tricky, since his knuckles are small. He's lost his first Cartier WB that way. When it's cold and the finger shrinks there's nothing to stop the ring from falling off. Otoh the rolling ring needs to be about one size bigger than regular rings, especially when stacked. I'm hoping he's not going to lose that one..IMG_20201027_111824.jpg

They look fabulous! How refreshing to see a man embracing the stacked ring look!
 
I have been considering inside out hoops for a long time. I thought about AGBF's hoops but I feel they would be too large/heavy for me. Also, I am more of a post earring wearer (which Whiteflash has made in the AGBF hoops, but just decided the circle hoop was not right for my ears). I tried on the Tiffany 4.5ctw inside out hoops years ago but the size was a deterrent and the cost was way above my budget (the photo of these is attached). The 1.1ctw Tiffany ones were in my budget but they were too small. I've finally moved forward and Whiteflash is currently designing my earrings. They will be 2.52ctw inside out J-hoops w/post. 6 diamonds on the outside and 3 on the inside of each earring, which are similar to the design in the photo. I am hoping to get the final CAD today, then production will be about 4 weeks. I've been wearing studs everyday for 7 years and look forward to a new beautiful pair of earrings to wear.

Did you receive your new hoop earrings from Whiteflash? I would love to see photos.
 
Just bought a pair of beautifully cut and matched spess garnets from Gary B. Putting them in my cluster earrings since I pulled the diamonds out of them. Will probably have them in a couple of weeks.

@Paisley2628 I received them but they had design and quality control problems. They remade them but based on the photos they sent me, were not what I wanted. I’m still deciding if I want them to attempt them again but they are unable to make what I want so I’d have to decide on a different design than I wanted. What Tiffany hoops did you try on?

I tried on the small sized diamond hoops. They were lovely, but I contacted Tiffany and asked them what the color/clarity of the diamonds are, and I wasn't happy with the answer.

F8A18005-ECA0-4716-9E4B-EF03C0A0D928.jpegJust received this beauty from bijouxbox on IG, will be resetting the antique pear into a new ring. I have ideas swirling but will be some time before I decide I think.8)
 
I am completely smitten by these Tiffany bow ribbon earrings but not the price. I also like the Graff earrings but at $30k, there are many other things I'd rather do with that budget.

I have considered these Blue Nile ones for $500. It's sweet and at a great price but I much prefer the 3-D effect of the Tiffany and Graff earrings. Should I just get the BN ones and call it a day, get the Tiffany, or attempt to go the custom route? If custom, would $2k be a reasonable budget for Tiffany/Graff earrings?

Did you consider VCA? The pave Frivole earrings are gorgeous, and less than $30K.

So pretty! I do like the frivole but it’s still so pricey! I’m starting to think the Tiffany is a steal!

Have you tried them on? They're not for everyone. I thought about buying the Tiffany bow earrings at some point but changed my mind after trying them on.

Thanks for your input! I haven’t tried them on yet but I will definitely do so before committing to something so pricey. I’m shopping around and hoping I can find something similar for around $2k.
 
I needed a few stackable bands to pair with my five stone band so I had local jeweler make these for me1E4B8658-E886-406E-8535-532CFEFB4854.jpegB175E2A7-F6D3-4F51-A7EB-D499A7CC56E6.jpeg6F535068-0A61-408B-929C-301958DACDC7.jpeg

You have so beautiful fingernails. And bands too :)
 
Getting this late Georgian pendant from EstateJewleryMama on IG. I’ve had an antique foliate charm on my wish list and this is the first I’ve seen in 18K yellow gold. It’s Dutch, not a conversion, and the ruby is natural though it might be a later addition.

That would be an absolutely sweet choker in a black Ribbon!!!!!!
 
@LLJsmom thanks! I love that it comes with the black leather choker. Makes it an easy layering piece.
