In Judith Ripka 1369422807.223 Wow, Cattitude! A picture of the ring and a KO punch at the same time. Not bad. Beautiful ring! Continue Reading In Judith Ripka 1369328935.027 You are such a very bad influence, BGDC. Shame on you! You need an intervention for sure. LOL. Continue Reading In Judith Ripka 1369255997.393 Live and learn, Smarty! I guess I don't read these things closely enough. My gut tells me Ms. Ripka has her watches made in the same facility, using the same finishing processes, but what do I really know? As it happens, not very much, actually. Continue Reading In Judith Ripka 1369247561.843 On 5/22/2013 smarty said: Jersey, I don't own the regent watch, but is that not ionic plated like the chrono watch? I thought IP uses 14k (or 18k, etc) gold to permanently plate the watch. This is the same process Michele uses for their "gold" watches, and many other high end makers do as well. In answer to your question, Smarty, "I have absolutely no idea!" LOL. I didn't even know that the chrono (which I have in yellow and rose tone) had ionic gold plating. Perhaps someone else here can answer your question. Continue Reading In Judith Ripka 1369222583.67 Good morning, Jewel3. I think the reason the gold tones do not match precisely is because the Regent watch is not a gold clad item like your other pieces. The Regent is made of stainless steel, and it is gold tone as opposed to gold clad. I am sure every attempt was made to have it come as close as possible to the slightly deeper buttery gold color of the clad pieces, but I guess different materials cannot make perfect color matches. I just received the gold tone Regent, and I like the way it looks with The Cuff in gold clad, even if it is not an exact color match. Enjoy your new gorgeo...

The funny thing about diamonds or diamonique is that the more times you wear such a ring, the smaller the stone appears on your finger. It's weird. The three stone ring doesn't seem all that large any more after the initial blingie shock of it on my hand. I thought it looked too substantial on me at first. Now, it seems like I can handle the stonage. LOL. Enjoy your new antique style ring! Continue Reading In Judith Ripka 1368987749.373 Oh, and there is one strange thing regarding this ring. When it first appeared online, and it is even printed this way on my receipt, it was reported to be a 12.6 carat dmq ring. A couple of days later, the online description was modified down to "9 carat dmq ring." I just wanted to point that out to anyone who still has it in their mind that it is a 12.6 carat ring. Apparently, it isn't. Continue Reading In Judith Ripka 1368983320.8 Well, just so you know, BlingQueen, Sammycat, and Sheesh, I had a change of heart on this ring. I must have been in a strange, and thankfully rare, bad mood yesterday. Perhaps I didn't feel worthy of such amazing bling, or something. I think this ring is indeed a keeper, and I am sincerely sorry if I made anyone rethink their purchase of this ring. Will I wear it out food shopping? No. But out to lunch with a friend? Yes. Out to dinner? Yes. Out to any special occasion event? Definitely. It does look great with the ice cube bracelet it was meant to match. It will look wonderful wi... Continue Reading In Judith Ripka 1368892236.84 Good morning, Judeye! Hope you enjoy your new watches. Thanks to YOU, I have a Regent obsession I need to deal with, before I can even consider this new watch. Please don't wear your newest watch the next time you see me. You have done enough "damage" already. xox! Continue Reading In Judith Ripka 1368848298.52 That gold clad estate cuff is dreamy and so is the matching ring. I hope they are on next month instead of tomorrow. I have done more than enough damage this visit. . Continue Reading
