Mikeyy hit it perfectly for me. I'm the family accountant. I have to get everything else paid for, including retirement accounts, etc., before I can think about sparklies! It is SOOOOO hard! I can only imagine how bad it would be if I didn't force myself to behave [most of the time tehe]. I'll...

I found a very effective way recently to reduce my frequency of PG visits. Combine two things: 1) Work 60+ hours a week, then 2)Spend the overtime you're earning on something you've asked Jeremy and Jen to make for you. This means I have no time to log in and if I did log in I'd just see...

I LOVE the look of the varied length 3-strand with the sundress. It looks so classy yet comfortable! Wow!

Kaywal, I don't have freshwaters yet (on the short list!) but I started with a 8-13mm crazy, all sizes, all colors strand of Tahitian baroques. At first I thought the big 13mm one was monstrous... Nowadays I think the others are kind puny. I'm so embarrassed by the shift in my own perception...

They look so fantastic on you! It's amazing how much life a piece takes on when it's worn... Congrats!

I can't address whether they're natural (not-cultured), but if you believe they are cultured, there may be another angle that would make you equally or more happy IF you are able to back out of that purchase. The more commonly mentioned vendors that are often mentioned here have akoyas in a...

Thank you! We are amateur orchid enthusiasts so the avatar is a pic I took of one of our little ones (the flowers are about 3/4" around).

OMG the white gold octopus is WONDERFUL. I like the tiny diamonds in the tentacles!

I'm very jealous! My Hubbie is inked and I am not and sometimes things like this want to make me dive in head first. Thanks for sharing!!!

Everything except the necklace is Lorenz Baumer. The necklace is Stephen Webster. I'll edit the original post to add links. The Lorenz Baumer pieces were under Collections->Pour Elle. The birds are in the Jardinier section. The birds are my favorite, too!!! Good thing they weren't for sale! I...

This topic reminds me of some ideas I found recently when looking for earring designs for pearls. These pieces are amazing. Don't have to love their work, but ya gotta admit the ideas are neat. I happen to love some of the work, too. :p I'm impressed with the birds from the baroque pearls...

Jean, The little guy! He has no name, either. When I got it, I was given the story that geckos are prey animals so they have to keep moving their nests & eggs, so this is very symbolic of an egg. I've researched that and can find no evidence there is any truth to it, but I fell for the little...

Jean, The octopus is quite wonderful! Thanks for sharing! I have a yellow gold gecko with a ~7mm what-I-think-is-akoya in its mouth that your octopus reminds me of. I like Poseidon for a name. A friend of mine once had a stuffed octopus she called Inkie. Along those veins, you could call him...

sorry! wasn't sure...

It's a soliloquy from Shakespeare's Macbeth (if that's what you were asking. If not... don't mind my craziness): "She should have died hereafter; There would have been a time for such a word. To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable...

You make an excellent point, Pearl_dreams, about the item and the buyer's potential thoughts. But the buyer asked Bo to offer it to the underbidder, which Bo agreed to do, then the buyer refused to return the item to Bo so she could offer it to the underbidder! (to quote Bo from her initial...

To quote Pearl_dreams: I would politely tell her that you are unable to assist her in selling the ring but that she is welcome to use your photo to resell it herself. ----------------------------- Great point, Pearl_dreams. Let her sell it, but allow her to use the pics. At this point, given...

Hi Dawn, I'm not a seller but my brother is a big seller. I asked him about this since as a buyer, it seemed very sketchy that she is unwilling to send it back to you. He agreed - no way you should relist without the item in hand, and it does sound like a scam, rather than an innocent buyer's...
