I was tempted to order because the stones are fully cut, hand set and it is a swiss movement which makes the price alittle high, but not that out of line(in my opinion). I am a conservative dresser so am not sure I can 'pull it off', but they kept saying it wasn't showing well on the tv screen so I bet it is more subtle and gorgeous in person. I have a feeling I would like it in person and was tempted by the blue and the black...just couldn't tell if it was for me or not. I hope you love them and I suspect once a few reviews are up those watches will fly out of there. Wear and enjoy!!!!!</P> </BLOCKQUOTE> <P>Thank you, equss, I sure will. I'm also a conservative dresser. I wear a lot of suit looks and blazers/jackets in solid colors, not too many prints (but I do love my animal prints---so there's that). I think a simple background is a great way to display the jewelry---it shouldn't have to fight with your clothes. </P> <P>Here's an example of how I would wear the Green watch: Black Crepe Blazer and matching slacks with a Linea Whisper Knit Malachite Tank underneath. Black Suede pumps and a nice Black Leather handbag. Very simple. Then I'd wear the Green Monaco Watch paired with a combination of Green Mint Monaco or Green Goddess rings (if a business meeting, I wouldn't wear the Monaco). Then I'd add bracelets, layering 2 (no more than 3) on my right wrists, including the Green Goddess line bracelet with a Cuff or the Ice Cube bracelet (again, if business meeting, I'd opt for no more than 2 bracelets). For earrings, I'd do the small Green Goddess <A href="http://www.qvc.com/Judith-Ripka-Sterling-Green-Goddess-Doublet-Stud-Earrings-Earrings-Jewelry.product.J274504.html?sc=J274504-User&amp;cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-22-_-J274504&amp;catentryImage=http://images-p.qvc.com/is/image/j/04/j274504.001?$uslarge$" target="_blank"><STRONG>studs</STRONG></A>; and for necklace, the Green Goddess enhancer either on the Black Braided necklace or the Green Goddess station chain. Now, if I wanted to change that out fit up, I'd leave out the Blazer and add the Linea Whisper Knit Swing Cardigan in Malachite and I'd change out the earrings to <A href="http://www.qvc.com/As-Is-Judith-Ripka-Sterling-Multi-Gemstone-Front-Facing-Hoops-Earrings-Jewelry.product.J290925.html?sc=J290925-User&amp;cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-15-_-J290925&amp;catentryImage=http://images-p.qvc.com/is/image/j/25/j290925.001?$uslarge$" target="_blank"><STRONG>these</STRONG></A> and then maybe layer on some chains.</P> <P>So you see, the clothing is simple. I can switch out the Linea tops for the Ruby Color and then switch to the Brown Monaco, add the Ginger Monaco Ring, a Honey Citrine JR2 Montana Ring, a Citrine line bracelet with a cuff and the Garnet/Citrine/Rhodolite drop earrings and matching enhancer from a few years back. </P> <P>I can also switch the top to a Linea Whisper Knit Turtle neck and add a Leather Jacket with high heeled boots and either trim down the jewelry or beef it up.</P> <P>With simple clothing, the possibilities are endless---I can see pearl suites, Turquoise Eclipse suites, Rose Quartz suites, Black Onyx suites....or whatever suites you have or are building.</P> <P>I wear a lot of Black in my wardrobe, but you can do the same with Navy, Grey, Brown, etc...</P> <P>Judith always seems to wear mostly solid outfits, as does Joan Rivers, always showcasing the jewelry and accessories.</P> <P>I'd love to hear how you might put together your outfit with your Ripka.</P> <P>We should start an Open Thread on "How Are You Styling Your Ripka Today"...and then people can just post and we all get great ideas on combing our pieces. We do this over on the Linea Forum and it's just great to read how all the gals are putting together their looks.</P> <P>Take care.</P> Sun, 23 Mar 2014 15:44:48 GMT Maxine49 2014-03-23T15:44:48Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/THUD-Watch-is-stunning/m-p/703192#M39713 <P>I love it! Got the Brown and the Green...would love the Black and the Blue, too...but just can't. I knew they'd be just gorgeous in person.

So I ordered the purple - I hope it's as pinky purple as it shows.</P> Fri, 21 Mar 2014 05:13:51 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/THUD-Watch-is-stunning/m-p/703197#M39715 cattitude 2014-03-21T05:13:51Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/THUD-Watch-is-stunning/m-p/703202#M39717 <P><IMG class="" spotlight="" /></P> Fri, 21 Mar 2014 05:14:41 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/THUD-Watch-is-stunning/m-p/703202#M39717 sunshine45 2014-03-21T05:14:41Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/THUD-Watch-is-stunning/m-p/703207#M39719 I am loving the watches.
