How Are You Styling Your Ripka Today?

Maxine49 — Sun, 23 Mar 2014 15:53:36 GMT

Gals, we have an open thread like this over on the Linea Forum and we post (whenever the mood strikes you) on our daily outfits. It gives great styling ideas and is a lot of fun to read. Why not do the same here? Give each other ideas on how to coordinate the pieces. Everyone is different and we can all get new inspiration.

I will post later as I am not yet ready to add my jewelry. We can just keep the thread going, or start a new one every month. Post if you want, or not, but have fun reading.

Who is going to go first?

Hi Sheesh, I like your new thread. Getting ready to go out for the day. Have on retired green quartzite beads with GG enhancer, GG link bracelet, retired emerald pave button earrings and chrome diopside ring on left hand and thin pave band on right hand. Enjoy your day with your Ripka pieces as well.

Great idea for a thread! Today, my contribution is zero, though. It's laundry-cleaning-home maintenance day and I don't want to dirty or damage any baubles. Will check back in during the work week.

OK, here's my contribution for today, a combination of older and recent pieces:

Pearl studs surrounded by Blue Sapphires

Left hand: White Pearl Dangle Band and one of the DQ Station Stacking Bands.

Sterling Sub-dial Watch.

18" Station Chain (one of the early Rhodium pieces, has four quilted stations with bezel set DQ and there is a center ring for enhancers--from about 2007-2008?) with the same White MOP/Pave Heart Enhancer as on the Link Bracelet (I had two).

36" White Pearl and DQ Barrel Station Chain.

Wearing Black Linea Ponte Leggings and a Bob Mackie Blue and Black Architectural Print Top. Cole Haan Black Suede and patent Flats.

Very simple attire today, as I was attending a neighborhood potluck. I wore a white cotton collared shirt with black leggings and black flats. My jewelry was the following retired JRQ: Dark Pink DMQ pave Evil Eye Enhancer on Dark Pink DMQ pave barrel station 18" Necklace plus round Button ERs of faceted Hematite encircled by a border of Rhodolite. No cuffs, bracelet, rings or watch.

I love those pieces. I have an ivory scarf with navy blue anchors on it that I wear a lot in the summer, these pieces go perfectly with it.

I'm not really a stud earring person but I love, love, love these...so classic.

well...twas not JRQ, but JR2 Saturday night. I wore THIS dress with the ambrosia JR2 fruit collection - pear shaped dangle earrings. multi-stone 6-stone stunning bracelet, and 3-stone amy center/pink corundum side stone cocktail ring. My own stuff on my LH.

People were grabbing my Ripka wrist and asking about my pieces! Total fun!

BTW, if you are wearing chartreuse this season, JR's canary crystal is a perfect fit. The Amy/pink corundum and canary crystal stones set off this dress perfectly. I felt like a Ripkarized princess lol!

I'm dressed in a black turtleneck and cords, so I have on several layers over the turtleneck: Black faux leather braided necklace in silver and Diamonique with Athena silver/18k clip-on; 18k baby Romance chain; Scott Kay Faith Collection cross necklace; Scott Kay Faith collection men's black spinel amulet necklace; and various other pieces of Judith Ripka, Scott Kay and Barbara Bixby on wrists/fingers.

Well, I got off to a late start today with the jewelry and worked at home. Dressing very simply. Linea Black Ponte Knit Leggings and Linea Black Ponte Knit Tunic---can't get more basic or comfortable. Cole Haan Black Suede and Patent Flats.

I'm wearing the Ripka Sterling Carved/Ribbed Heart w/14K Clad and DQ Accents on the Long Black Cord with a pair of Judith Ripka Sterling Carved Chubby Demi Hoops. On right wrist, the JR Sterling Panther Link Cuff and an older JR Sterling Dome Ring with ribbing and diagonally set DQs---it's an "oldie but goodie"--it has to be at least 10 years old. On my left hand, the JR Sterling Black Onyx Carved Dome Rng with Pave DQ down the enter ---a great "go to" and "travel" ring. No watch today, as I'm sitting in front of the computer and the time is staring me in the face!

Even though I'm dressed very simply, at a moments notice I could pop on a nice coat and Pashmina and be out the door for dinner/drinks and I'd be perfectly proper.

Today is Tuesday. I'm wearing Linea Black Ponte Leggings with a Linea Whisper Knit Tank and Boyfriend Cardigan in Red.

I'm doing a Double Designer Day---mixing David Yurman and Judith Ripka.

On right hand, David Yurman Black Onyx and Diamond Large Albion Ring and two David Yurman Black Onyx and Diamond Cable Cuffs.

On the left hand, a JRQ Sterling Asscher Cut Framed DQ Ring from 2007. That was always a killer ring. Have it in Canary, too. I'll never part with this baby.

Judith Ripka Sterling Subdial watch with the JR Sterling Textured Twisted Chain Roman Coin Charm Bracelet w/DQ acents. Another great piece that I love.

I'm wearing the Black Cord from another JR piece along with a Large JR Round Sterling Enhancer, with concentric circles, one circle set in DQ pave, with 8 bezel set Black Onyx stones and a center bezel set DQ with rope twist. This is a substantial enhancer.

On my ears, the JR Sterling Black Onyx Fleur des Lys drop earrings.

No Ripka today except for my oval watch, sterling/18k station bracelet, and 18k diamond Romance stack ring. I think the bracelet is from the old Lennox collection, but I am not certain since I acquired it from eBay. Two Scott Kay cuf bracelets, Carolyn Pollack recent TSV signature cuff in mother of pearl. Carolyn Pollack golden mother of pearl clover-shaped rings; small solid cuff bracelets in sterling silver and 14k gold, acquired twenty years ago from the jewelry shop in Williamsburg.

Today I wore Linea Camel pants with Linea Animal Print V-Neck Top in Natural with a Linea Black Asymmetrical Zippered Jacket. Stuart Weitzman Leopard Hair-calf Flats with Goldtone Toe Ornaments and Emma Fox Black Leather and Leopard Hair-calf Handbag with Gold hardware and chain strap.

On my right hand, Judith Ripka Gold Clad "The Cuff" with the Ripka Gold Clad Estate band ring. On my left hand, Ripka Gold Clad Chronograph Watch and Ripka Gold Clad Asscher Cut Ring. Ripka Gold Clad 18 inch "While Supplies Last" Necklace with the Gold Clad "S" Charm. Earrings are the TSV Oro Nuovo Gold Clad Hoops.

A fairly simple jewelry day, no layering.

Today I was inspired by the new Brown Monaco watch.

I am wearing brown leggings and a black/brown stylized animal print top. I have chosen some retired JRQ SQ/Citrine dangle earrings to compliment. (These earrings also came in shades of amethyst, so will be great with Purple Monaco watch.) Retired JRQ cuff with three oval SQ on my right wrist and JR SQ ring from the Linen Collection on right hand.

Pat, were those the Doorknocker earrings from late Fall 2012? I have them in the Smokey/Citrine, as well.

Good grief, I barely got started today---worked on draft contracts all day to make a deadline, finishing at 8:30 PM---managed to put on the new Green Goddess Monaco Watch and a Green Goddess Ring on left hand...the rest you don't want to know, meaning---there is nothing else! There's always tomorrow.......

Sporty day today in my lululemon pacer skirt and matching tank - had a competitive USTA tennis match today! So...of course I wore my pink yin/yang JR2 sapphire necklace and pink crystal little JR2 huggies.

FYI .... my Q GG purchase is second to NONE! GORGEOUS and looks every bit a JR2 piece. Will be styling it for SURE sometime soon....

It was a workday, so black pants, white blouse, white ceramic watch, 7-stone white diamonique ring with the old MOP grooved heart ring on top of (was complimented on by a man as a matter of fact) on the other hand white agate Flora ring together with matching Flora necklace. Despite the weather, I whipped out the whites today.

Then when I came home................

I switched into the new amethyst bracelet with the amethyst/rose de france ring (PERFECT TOGETHER) ice cubes on the opposite wrist and canary estate necklace. pretty colors!
