Didn't you tell me once that you owned a nice cuff with blue turquoise? That ring would be lovely with it.

I have a lot of blue Kingman. It's a softer tone of blue. It would be challenging for me to justify ... anything.

So the things I love are: the red coral ring and the red coral leather bracelet. I also got the lions paw earrings and they are just really cool looking.

I had bought the SB cuff and the kingman enhancer. I like them but I don't really love them so I'm not sure if I'm keeping them considering the price. The bracelet is really nice with lots of silver but the SB gem itself is so small, I'm just don't feel the love. IMO the kingman enhancer is overpriced - I kind of thought that when I was ordering it but because it would work in the cuff, too, I wanted to see it in person. I don't think I'm keeping the enhancer because of the price and it just doesn't wow me enough.

Hope this review doesn't make anyone angry, it is simply my opinion of the items.

My firm belief is if you don't absolutely love it after a few days, it should be returned. I find it difficult to remember to wear all the things I love, so things I don't just sit in the jewelry box wasted.

yes, that is my feeling, too. I have so many pieces and only so much time to wear (along with $ to spend as others have said). I hate for my pieces to feel lonely - LOL - so I do enjoy getting them out and wearing them. I seem to have favorites and I do love turquoise and red coral. I came to work this morning and totally forgot to put anything on but earrings.

What's going on with J283082? It was $109, sold out ... now there's one ring available on waitlist, but the price went up to $179. Is CP going to restock this ring at the higher price?

I was right. The ring has been restocked, all sizes available, at the higher price. J283082

If you watch the video, it started at $99. Then it was $109. Now it's $179.

Gee, good thing they found another batch of large SB cabs.

Yes, they said they would not be able to restock SB at the old price.

So, it's not that the mine is closed and they can't get any more. If they were honest, they'd say there's plenty of SB, but they figured out a way to jack up the price. The De Beers school of supply & demand.

The price of SB has gone up (along with other types of turquoise), and especially for the cream of the crop and the larger size cabs. It's definitely not the washed out cr.p you see elsewhere. I'd understand a price increase if they had to buy more - from whatever source they can, but if in fact it was SB they had in inventory already . . it's a little greedy.

When they sit there and say they can't get anymore in this size, or in this color range ... and then they get more, albeit at a higher price ... I feel scammed.

Moral of the story -- don't believe anything that anyone says on a shopping channel.

I feel the same....I'm much happier having a small collection of pieces that I wear and enjoy, than I would be if I had a large collection that I spent all that money on and it just sat in my jewelry case.
