Miss Everyone!

kiwi55 — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 16:41:41 GMT

Really miss the camraderie of everyone posting online during Judith's shows.

Where are you all? Are you at the Live Show or are you just posting on Facebook?

It really isn't the same without everyone's participation on the Forum. Please

come back home.

I agree, Kiwi55!!! I miss ALL the chatter, during the shows and otherwise. I don't do Facebook, but am seriously considering signing up just for the Ripkanista banter. I feel really lucky to have jumped on the Ripka Train a few years ago, while there was still so much excitement on the forum, and I amassed quite a Judy collection because of it, so I'll live - but I feel your pain. =)

I am excited about this TSV Byzantine bracelet! I got the black and the yellow. I have the silver rolo status, so I figured the silver wouldn't really add anything to my collection - but, then again, they would look fab together!

Anyway, I hope you have a great Friday. Enjoy the rest of the shows!

Hi IloveKailua,

Thanks for the reply - I will survive too but it was a lot of fun reading all the chatter

that used to go on during the shows. I got the rose byzantine bracelet - I also

have Judith;s rolling status link bracelet J280131 - mine has the diamonique

ball charm hanging off it - is that the one you have too? That was probably my

reasoning as well for not getting the silver one. Seems to be a pretty reasonable

price considering what most of her stuff has been selling for lately. Enjoy your

new purchase and the rest of the shows. I, too, do not do Facebook - its a shame

everyone felt they had to move off the Forum to get away from the negative posters.

Happy shopping.

I don't know what that spoiler thing is at the bottom of my post and I can't seem

to edit it out??? Thought it was an emoticon till I put my glasses on. Sorry

Re: Miss Everyone!

ilovekailua — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 19:26:42 GMT

The spoiler is an emoticon!

I think it's the same bracelet - I tried calling up J280131, but it jus' says it's sold out. I looked at my order history and mine is the rolling status link with pave drop (J278948) - so I'm pretty sure it's the same bracelet (maybe different item numbers for different sizes). I love that thing.

What do you think of the new Olympia watch (J323369)? That caught my eye this morning. LOVE the neutral. Looks so much like an old-style man's watch (to me, anyway).

I know there is an emoticon there now but before it was just a colored bar with

nothing in it but the word spoiler??? I love the rolling bracelet too - had a stone

fall out of my pave ball and had to send it back in to get repaired - took 2 months

but it didn't cost me anything so I'm happy. The Olympia watch was nice - I

was drawn to the turquoise one but I don't do leather bands as they are too long

for my wrist and stick out the end. Was that a new watch? It didn't say New but

I'd never seen it before? I can't believe how many watches she has now.

I don't get the spoiler thing either, lol... I guess we are all going to start chatting and starting a new group... I just don't have time to join FB... I'm loving the shows!!! I'm still thinking about purchasing the 20" byzantine necklace that matches the TSV??? I need bad instigators to push me...

Plus I have to make an appeal to the DH when he gets home. I never bought oneduring the Italy shows a long time ago when gold prices were low. I already have a Christmas ring put back so it is going to be a tough sell!!!

I love that watch in all 3 colors!!! Luckily or not, I bought the apple sport watch so I haven't been buying any more watches lately....

Welcome Pamula,

Glad to have you join the conversation. Good luck with DH. I'm sure you deserve

a new piece. What color did you buy in the bracelet? Was fun watching the Live

show this morning - must be nice to be able to see all the pieces before the show

in person.

Pamula — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 22:12:46 GMT

Yea, for sure... I have been to her NYC store and bought earrings once, but it would also be nice to go up when she has a party. I guess we are going to have to start a new BG bench because I have really been bad on this visit....!!!

Re: Miss Everyone!

Pamula — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 22:16:42 GMT

oh, I bought my Mom the silver and I bought the rose... and I'm on advanced order for the silver for July 30th. I have one of the smokey quartz heart charm bracelest from a long time ago, but I think these bracelets have a clean, modern look...And The Price!!! And EP!!! See you girls for tonight's show!!!

Yah, where the H E double toothpicks is everyone??? Did they go to the dark side/Facebook???? I have the athena watch in my cart....something easy for summer.....to go with the RG and YG tsv's.....

I wonder if the new forum change (before they gave us this subforum back) encouraged more to bail and land primarily in Facebook. I don't do Facebook either and miss the chats here, all the excitement before and during the shows. Maybe some of our flock eventually will come back.

I wasn't able to watch the shows today due to work, but I hope all of you were able to pick up a treasure or two....there's much temptation!

Me too and hope to do better in the future.

Re: Miss Everyone!

Thanks for coming and joining in the conversation Sammycat & Kaplan. Nice

to see some familiar names posting. Hope you enjoyed the shows and love

your new goodies when they arrive.

Re: Miss Everyone!

anisha — Sun, 12 Jul 2015 20:27:33 GMT

Hello kiwi55, I too miss being here and miss the conversations during the shows. I hope the Ripka sisters return and this forum gets some semblance of old times. I watched a couple of shows this past visit and bought some beautiful Ripka jewelry and hope to review here when I get my goodies.

Re: Miss Everyone!

Dallas-Dame — Sun, 12 Jul 2015 23:08:30 GMT

It's nice to see so many familiar "faces" in this thread, folks. I miss the former format of the Forum and hope we'll slowly build our sub-forum to resemble the previous one. Regards to all!

Re: Miss Everyone!

kiwi55 — Mon, 13 Jul 2015 04:58:04 GMT

Yes! Two more Ripkanista sisters have joined us, Anisha & Dallas Dame.

Great to hear from both of you. Looking forward to reviews.
