JAI Purchases

lmt — Tue, 26 Jun 2018 00:11:46 GMT

I thought maybe we could start a new thread since the Sneak Peek thread is getting rather lengthy.

I have my eye on three items, so far!

J355657 The Carved Floral Bangle

J355644 The Ethiopian Opal Bypass Ring

J355658 The Lion Ring

I'm definitely getting the Lion ring, I'm trying to decide whether to size up or not. I think I may size up because in the hot, humid weather I think it will be difficult to wear my usual size.

I really, really, REALLY want that gorgeous Lion cuff. I never bought a piece of silver that expensive before, but maybe with 6 easy pays it won't hurt as much. I'm trying to justify it any way I can.

@lmt If may put in my 2 cents: if you size up on the ring, be aware you may need a ring guard in cooler months. Maybe order one of each size & decide.

@ShanusI know.....it's a tough decision. I think I may go with my usual size and hope for the best.

Disappointed in the TSV... thus far nothing is calling me. But, Then again not into animal jewelry. I do appreciate the skilled artisans, Scott is wonderful.

@Sweet_Serenity The TSV is a total pass for me. It's OK, a little too chunky for me. I guess they figure that it will appeal to a wide range of people and I'm sure it will.

Find it to be masculine. Design is popular so more than sure this will be.

As you know, I'm all over the lion pieces....those undergalleries also speak to me.

So many other pieces do, too, but I think that's enough damage for the next 2 visits!

I ordered the TSV via the pre-sale link. I love to layer so this piece is perfect with my other chain items of his.

I'm been wanting a few of the leopard enhancers; the new one is lovely as well. Depending on the intro-price, I may buy that one. I don't care for the new bangle, cuffs or rings so no pressure to buy, lol.

@Sammycat1 I know!! It's really a shame that only the wearer will see the beauty of it. I would love for Scott to make a bracelet from the undergallery of the lion cuff. All those gorgeous animals on one bracelet, can you imagine?!

Someone asked on FB if there will be a matching ENHANCER - it's coming in October! I never wear anything around my neck, so at least that won't tempt me, LOL!

I'm afraid that once I see that lion cuff presented, I'll be a goner!

I have my eye on this little guy.

Scott featured a leopard tail wrap ring (and bracelet too) on Instagram. Would like to get a good look at those, but they're not up yet.

I don't have any JAI pieces. I got an email showing the TSV bracelet. I know Jill Bauer raves about her bracelet. It seems like a nice chunky bracelet for the money. Deciding if I should order it.

For those who are not sure about the JAI box link pieces - I don't think they are masculine. I can see how one might think that at first. But, these pieces have slightly rounded links. That makes them both more comfortable and more feminine. For those that get the TSV, enjoy!

Is this the ring you're referring to?

@lmt Yes! That's it; thanks for posting!

I ordered the basketweave bracelet with the gold on the ends. I went ahead and ordered it because I wanted one of the silver necklaces with gold balls during the last JAI shows, but the necklace sold out. I don't want that to happen again. I was thinking that perhaps there would be special pricing offered tomorrow on some items. I think that necklace was at a special price, and then the price went up. It has been on waitlist for a while. I hope there will be sale prices in addition to the new items (or perhaps on the new items.)

Re: JAI Purchases

SahmIam — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 13:16:23 GMT

@Kcubed That has happened to me a few times as well. I ordered early and then call in for the price adjustment if the item goes down; best of both worlds.

@Pecky The Jai box chain pieces are very nice. I got a necklace and bracelet earlier this year. The TSV is chunkier than the one I have. It looks like a nice piece.
