@Serendipity I noticed that ring online early today because it's so unique looking... For me, the shape probably wouldn't work. I think it's prettiest in the blue topaz, but we see so much of that gem... I'm not loving the way the stones are faceted but I think between tiger eye and lapiz I actually prefer the tiger eye...

@stevieb Yes, I have been waiting all day for it! The faceting and the shape make it look like a honeycomb, especially in the tiger's eye. The shape is flattering for long fingers, but I wonder if it would be too busy. I don't know why they couln't just have put it on the model's finger. The blue topaz is beautiful too, but I probably wouldn't wear it as often as the earth tone one. There is a snippet of the ring at the end of the video for the matching earring. All the way at the end. Oh well ...

@Serendipity I think they have a still photo of the ring on a model that you can enlarge, though it might not be the gem in which you were most interested. It does seem to be a somewhat rangy ring but it is an interesting design.

ETA... I love prasiolite... One of my favorites and it's not usually costly. Not as yellow green as peridot and not as blue green as many other stones... Just a true watery pale green...

wow, I was just on the Bixby Facebook page and she is showing a new necklace for Monday that is Buddha eyes of compassion. I really like it. And I have a couple things in my cart that I probably shouldn't buy. Mail lady just pulled up with my Ganesh, will report back.

@jaxs mom Uh-oh, you got the bug. Proceed with caution: it gets bad quick! 😬

@stevieb @jaxs mom I woke up to my senses -- nothing for me. And while I think the ring could be pretty, it's likely not my style and wouldn't get much use out of it. Besides I have so many home improvements things to complete still. Note to self: FOCUS. 😬😬

This is a prasiolite I think is so pretty. Astronomic pricing, but pretty. If I stacked them, I'd mix up the stones though. Of course, never gonna happen.

@Serendipity I really like the setting on that rose gold ring

I love this piece -- my pick of the day. LOL. But not the price. 😖 No way. Out of the stratosphere.

Also, this set with the matching pendant. OMG. Sigh.

OUCH, I know gold skyrocketed but that's just crazy.

@jaxs mom @stevieb I think prices were about 1/4 of what they are now just in 2014. Or at least on some pieces here.

Oh I don't know about seeing Alpha.  I saw Christopher Robin, with Ewan McGregor a couple of weeks ago and was on the edge of my seat a time or two over CGI Pooh, lol.

That movie March of the Penguins.  My husband's grown daughter gifted us a copy one Christmas and I said, yea I don't think I wanna watch it.  My middle sister said, I've seen it, it's such a beautiful movie, watch it Bernie.

I asked her outright - does anything die in the movie.  Is there one loss of life, natural or unnatural.  She said no.

So me and husband watched the movie.  There was a death.  At the end of the movie I called my sister and told her to meet me on her front porch because I was coming over to plant my foot up her a**.  I reminded her that I had a key to her house so hiding behind the door was not going to save her.

Hey, I cried during Happy Feet.

@Bird mama My little niece said the Pooh movie was good, but so sad. So, I took my cue. 😊 Hope you're enjoying retirement in general, Birdie. 🤗

Ok so I love love love my Ganesh, I'm so happy I ordered it. The London blue stones are lighter than my 26 ct ring but that might be because they're so much smaller and the huge stone has a very deep gallery to hold the color. But they are very pretty and I was looking at them in my bathroom light which has very bright daylight bulbs. The Ganesh himself is perfect and a traditional rendition which I like, I do think I'll to be careful since it's ceramic. 

I tried it on with different necklines and chain lengths. It looks great with my 30 inch figaro and my 18 inch bold rolo chain, since it's an enhancer I was able to put it on my velvet choker and it looks so good on it. I also tried it over my 15 inch ring collar and it's also lovely there although I had to rig something to hang it from as the bail isn't large enough to get over the 8mm collar.

Very happy with my purchase and I think I can safely pass on the chains I have in my cart. I wasn't sure how well it would go with some of mine as it is the largest pendant I own now.
