@Sammycat1    This is the Olivia from the couture line.

I like the Q version.   

The advance order email says you get $20 off when you order a second one.

I will probably order both the silver and and gold clad version and see what they look like in person.

@newjerseygirl @Sammycat1 I am very underwhelmed....I think we may lose some long time collectors.  Not even a whole gemstone like her other Olivia rings.....we're getting sold short!  I will still watch the shows though......gurr.....

@MickD, I have to agree.  I'm shocked that this is the tsv.  Maybe there will be some other, new spectacular pieces.

@Sammycat1 @MickD

There will probably be many other new and hopefully spectacular pieces for the 20th Anniversary shows.

I guess they wanted a TSV that was reasonably priced.

 @Sammycat1 I see there is a new turquoise bracelet.....and a ring....eh......what is going on?  Where is the inspiration????

[Sammycat1]

@newjerseygirl, I'm familiar with the couture piece, but this doesn't come close enough for me.  I saw the buy more, save more deal, but wss hoping for something with some oomf for this special tsv.  I trult hope they meet your expectations..

@newjerseygirl you're probably right....let's be optimistic, right???

[MickD]

 @newjerseygirl now that picture of the Olivia ring is stunning!

[Sammycat1]

@newjerseygirl I hope you're right!  It seems we get lower cost diamonique pieces or multi-thousand dollar creations but not much in the middle.
