She gets me every time.....

anisha — Wed, 11 Mar 2015 00:12:58 GMT

Hello Ladies, I hope you are all doing well and enjoying your Ripka treasures from the last visit. I had decided at the beginning of the year to limit my jewelry buying this year. Not a resolution but just something I want to do. But Ms Judie comes with these gorgeous designs and I succumb ! She is not even in the house and I already bought the skinny multigem cuff and the SB clad cuff. Several other items on my wishlist for now- hoping some will hit clearance soon. What's tempting you all and what is everyone getting ? Do share. Enjoy the shows and hopefully I can join in to chat.

Yes, our Judith has quite the eye for jewelry design. I ordered the TSV bangles in blue/green, and I am beyond crazy about the new, round chrome diopside and green goddess clip-on enhancer. I am trying to resist it, but I am not sure that I will be able to do so.

Ha!!!! I knew it! You can't wear that big ol' cobblestone all of the time, Anisha! Although knowing you, maybe you bought it to wear with it! That rectangular smokey/citrine ring looks mighty interesting, too. Just saying...........

I love that SB clad cuff, too! Thank goodness I never went clad or I would be in trouble for sure. Not only do I like the one that you picked, but this one knocks me out!!! Wow! Stunning! IF I had a summer shindig that I knew that I was going to, this would break me for sure! And it has Pia metal work on the back. I wonder if there will be something to go with it for the neck - and for your cuff as well.

I know that when she did the sleeping beauty in silver, it had friends. Prepare yourself!

Hi JB! Nice picks!

Won't you stop it, BGDC! I love sea foam blue chalcedony, and that cuff is calling out to me, too. It has got to be even more stunning in person. And I also like the multi-stone thin cuff (thin compared to the cobblestone cuff, that is).

JB - I really think you should buy it! Then I can borrow it.

Hi Jersey Born, enjoy your new TSV bangles. I would have bought the blue and green combo too if they were cuffs instead. The GG enhancer looks pretty, if you resist buying, you are so much more strong willed than I am !!!

Hi BGDC, that seafoam blue clad cuff and the new aquamarine stuff is calling my name - but not in the budget , in my wishlist for now. Ripka diet for me for a while I think . So how about you, is Walter coming home ? Is he going to have friends coming along ? Whatever you decide , enjoy !

BGDC, it did cross my mind to wear the big cobblestone and the skinny cuff together ! Maybe too much sparkle for the eyes I think !!!

All your purchases sounds great. Enjoy all of your purchases ladies! All winners!! Have to say this time Barbara Bixby got me. Always wanted her peacock ring but she wanted 500 dollars for it. It's on clearance now for 299.00 and 4 easy pays. Couldn't pass it up. Got 5 star ratings too. I just love her rings. Needless to say I won't be tempted by Judith this time around. Won't even be home to see any of her shows. For me, that's a good thing, lol.

Hi ladies,

I totally agree Anisha, she does get us everytime, lol.

But like you, I am limiting my purchases and trying to buy what I think I will wear a lot to justify the purchase. So given that, I also ordered the skinny gem cuff. I love that it is stackable and the stones look so vibrant in the pic. Hope they are in real life. Also like how most of the stones are the vibrant ones and not the lighter ones. So if I love this one, I plan to cancel my waitlist wider cobblestone one. For me, I think I will get more wear out of the skinny and I love to stack with other Ripka pieces but also non Ripka pieces. (Also, I love how the focus on the skinny cuff is more on the stones and there is a little less silver surrounding each stone.)

I also love the 3 new clad cuffs... the SB, light blue Chalcedony, and the darker green Chalcedony. But I am going to resist.

Most of the shows are on when I can't watch live, so will DVR. But I find that whenever I DVR the shows, I tend to fast forward a lot. I do miss the live experience.

Enjoy the shows ladies and all of your new treasures. I am loving everything you all mentioned.

I adore sea foam chalcedony and have many pieces of it in JR2 and JR couture. I think I may need this cuff, although I really don't have any other clad items. It is a beauty, and really really screams summer at the beach! I might have to mix myself a cocktail before I order it.

Smarty,

How about mixing two and ordering me a small?

Hi BlingQueen , enjoy your peacock ring. I saw it and it looks beautiful, not for me though, too much oxidation for my liking, but it is very pretty.

Re: She gets me every time.....

anisha — Wed, 11 Mar 2015 17:35:21 GMT

Hi disneygal, I agree with you about how vibrant the gemstones look in the pictures of the skinny cuff. Let's both hope they are in person too. Enjoy it when you get it. I am resisting the seafoam clad cuff for now !

Re: She gets me every time.....

anisha — Wed, 11 Mar 2015 17:38:58 GMT

Hi smarty, do post back if you get the seafoam chalcedony cuff. I love the color and the mix with the clad. If I may ask, would you say the blue color of what you own from the JR2 and couture looks like the blue of the cuff in the picture or does it have some grey in it ? I am debating buying this one .

I can't wait to hear reviews and see some great photos of your new treasures ladies! I bought the lunch time special dew drop necklace in clad so that is it for me this time. Anisha and others who have posted photos, thank you for them. I've had the dew drop necklace on my wishlist since Anisha posted a lovely actual photo many months ago.

smarty — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 03:53:01 GMT

Hi Anisha...the pieces I have are similarly colored to the cuff...a true sea foam color! It has no grey scale to it...it coordinates very well with teal, turquoise, and even some blue topaz. The cuff is on waitlist in small, so I may wait to order (fingers crossed, hoping it's a OTO!)
