Just a classic strand of pearls... 9.0-9.5mm freshadama white pearls from Pearl Paradise (18 inches). I am switching out the ball clasp for their orbit clasp in white gold. :dance:

:cry2: Paid for the 1-day fed ex rate and rearranged my day to be home to receive it. It didn’t make it.
:boohoo:

Argh, so frustrating :blackeye: and seems more the rule than the exception that no matter the carrier that our packages are delayed. Has happened to me with the last 3 bling packages. Overnighted them and received them late. Two of them came almost 2 full weeks late. :((
I hope your package arrives today @KristinTech. Fingers crossed!

It really is frustrating.... today I am not able to rearrange my schedule. I’m hoping that they deliver in the late afternoon/evening so that someone can be home to receive it! I have to be at softball practice with my youngest, but one of the older kids can answer the door and try them on! :lol: My oldest would love to get her hands on them first!
 
I bought this 14k rose gold band from David Klass etsy a couple of weeks ago and it just arrived today!! It is so pretty and fun and is my first piece of rose gold jewelry. I think it also looks great with my engagement ring and would be a fun wedding band in yellow gold! IMG_20190515_114840.jpg IMG_20190515_120919.jpg

The pearls came! I’m pleased as punch with this classic strand. :halo: Next up: Cartier watch ... ? :whistle:

Classic beauty! Love it on you.:love:

And yasss to Cartier watch. Cannot go wrong with that. :whistle:
 
Sharon! I have been craving a Tiffany fancy yellow with a halo ring too!:love:
Doing my usual Ebay stalking to see if I can find a bargain.. will post if I am successful.


Yes--please do share! You have lovely small fingers--and many of the Tiffany rings I've seen pre-loved would fit your hand....but sadly not mine. I've recently resized (up) my old pieces!:eek2:

ETA: https://www.beladora.com/store/5125...g_in_platinum_0_74_carat_fancy_intense_yellow

It is a 5 1/2 and likely could be sized up or down a little--I'd need one full size up and you a full size down.

My pre-owned 18k gold & diamond bracelet from eBay is here :)

It's gorgeous! So much more substantial and blingy than I expected. And it's even the perfect length (a little under 6.5") to stack with my Love.

I was so nervous because this was my 1st time buying pre-owned on eBay. And for the price I paid, it makes me never want to pay new retail price on jewelry again, lol.

It’s beautiful!! Are you able to share names of reputable sellers on eBay? I’ve never known who to look up

I wanted to follow up with this! I contacted Pearl Paradise to let them know that I love the strand. I included some pictures of me wearing them, and I asked about a partial refund on the increased shipping cost, since I didn’t get them in the one-day delivery time. They said they don’t give refunds, since it’s “out of their hands” when FedEx takes possession, but the CS rep gave me $30 store credit in their Pearl Points program! So I was very appreciative of that—shipping was only $25, and I was only hoping to recover about $10 or $12 of that.

I’ve been very happy with my Pearl Paradise experiences over the past year and wanted to let people know how they handled this. :appl:

The seller is oldtreasures333 on eBay :-)

This was my 1st purchase with them. But they had a 30-day free return policy, so I knew I had time to get an appraisal and return if the bracelet didn't check out (which it did).
 
This is on hold for me and will hopefully be my last piece for "awhile" :whistle:.
It's a 5.60 ct opal (Cooper Pedy?) Opal with incredibly big bright flashes that can be seen at a distance. Set in 18k with 1.23 ctw diamonds. I don't have a good picture as I don't have it yet.

I've always held to a strict budget on what I will spend on a given piece...afraid of opening the floodgates once I go over the threshold...this was a bit over, so I am adimttedly freaking out a bit over this. purchase.IMG_20190512_122425.jpg

Thank you so much and I’m going to see what they have! Your bracelet is just lovely!!

Gorgeous!!! More pics and stats please! ; )
Honestly I don’t know much about it my husband got it for me and I was so excited that I didn’t ask for specs ! I am usually all about the specs ! I will have to ask and see what I get him to tell me . :|

I just picked up my mother’s day gift to myself... a vintage ~18.5 carat super clean tourmaline and diamond ring in platinum and I’m over the moon for it! It’s my absolute favorite peacock blue green color! Here’s comes the photo bomb...

Seriously? OMG!!!! Your tourmaline ring is to die for. I am a huge fan of green tourmalines and yours is cut to perfection! I'm adding your ring to my photo collection for future dream ring reference. :D Hope you don't mind. Falls over and passes out.
 
I couldn't resist this one... bought it and declared it to be a wedding present to myself! It's going to be a fabulously blingy RHR. This thing is huge! With halo, it's 23 x 17 mm.

You may have seen it recently on Caysie's instagram, it was part of her personal collection but she decided needed a new home where it would be worn more often.

Antique marquise/rose cut cluster ring, ~2.75 ctw. Platinum and 18 kt YG.

What a gorgeous glorious ring!!
 
I was considering this and I have now pulled the bling trigger because I decided I was in love with them and had to have them! Hopefully will arrive by Monday woohoo!

Sneak peek of my Victorian OMC dangles from the 1880s. Total diamond weight approx 1.77 cts. grading VS clarity H color.

Squee!! Anything OMC is to be purchased immediately! You pulled the trigger perfect, Missy. These are super stunning!! Can't wait to see them on you!
 
But first I’ll leave you with someone who was quite curious as to what was inside this package. Haha you know what they say about kitties and curiosity.
