Anyone here?

Yeah just showed in the preview the vintage silver hoops with charms. I have them sitting in my jewelry box and I sure didn't pay more than $100.

I'm here, Kappy! The cuffs on Jill look identical to the ones that I thought only came in the blackened silver. The ones with the pink or red sapphire pave hearts. Interesting.

Hi Kaplan.....I saw the hoops with charms and had whiplash over the new price....makes me happy for all the pieces I bought long ago.

Me too! Love those hoops but spent about $79 for all 3 charms!

Hi Kappy, just here briefly. Have errands to run.It's pouring here, we need the rain- there's a flash flood warning in our area. Thankfully my twins are home today ,- no school. What sparklers have you bought today ?

I also have the hoop earrings and mine has a third charm (a pearl) and did not pay that price they are asking now. I wear those quite a bit.

I bought some items from clearance and am feeling good about waiting .I am not always patient ! Got the ceylon saphy earrings and the pendant that gave been on my wishlist forever. Very happy with the clearance price.

Yo, ladies! Stay safe and watch out for the yucky weather. We're having snow flurries and no accumulation! Best type of snow.

I bought a lot of clearance, Anisha, and I have a slew of packages to open. I'm wearing th new multi gem chandelier earrings; I'm not too sure about them b/c of saturation of the stones. I really didn't look them over but just put them on.

Jersey Born - I think you're correct.

Those hoop I bought back then had a pearl, garnet heart & SQ charms.

OMG - they are my favs. I hope you love them. How about the ring?

Anyone get the TSV?

Hi Kappy, I didn't get the ceylon ring, just too big for he and I know I won't wear it often. I got the TSV in clad.

Not I-- yet. LOL.

Ladies, why is the cuff with the pink sapphires or the rubies showing a blackened metal online but they just showed it in plain sterling ? Am I seeing it different ?

Hi Jersey Born, which color TSV is tempting you ?

Hiya, Miss Judie! Thanks for the shout out!

I noticed that, too, and I have no idea. I wonder which bracelet will actually be shipped to everyone who ordered it, as the description does mention black rhodium.

You have just brought up one of my biggest purchasing dilemmas. It is so hard for me to choose between the two. I usually force myself toward the silver option as I don't wear the yellow gold versions anywhere nearly as often, even though I am sometimes more strongly drawn to the design in yellow gold clad.

In the TSV. I think I like it best in yellow clad. But, I would wear it more often (as I love to wear grey in winter) in silver.

Yes, Sharon. That was a lovely shout-out from Judith. Usually, I miss them, but it was nice to catch it live for once.

Get the yellow and go for two tone in your jewelry. Look how I spend your money.
