@SahmIam,  what is your sign and what is the difference in how the sign is displayed?  (Curious because I have seen the symbols for the zodiac for years and years, and never noticed any variances.)

Not this one but I have J331985 the vine ring in peridot that i love and wear almost every day.  Purchased it probably more than 10 years ago and looks the same as when I purchased it


 

I have it in citrine. It's probably my favorite BB piece. I bought it when it first came out, many years ago.

Sorry if I'm butting in.

 

I'm a Libra and there are two symbols for the sign. The Scales is probably the one most often associated with Libra. The one on the bottom of the picture is the one Barbara is using in the design of the TSV.

@Justice4all  Now there’s a word that says it all....although not many will get the meaning. My Nana used it all the time.


So funny, I just taught this word to one of my coworkers this week, I was wondering how I would spell it, this way is as good as any!!

I think another way to pronounce it is   ungepatchkit

Oh yes! Do appreciate her very much. I'm not a designer so take my opinions knowing that. The ring looks masculine to my eye. Then concerning astrology avoid anything to with, It's against my spiritual beliefs.


 

 

@Sweet_Serenity  After the first presentation, it looked heavy like a class ring to me. As far as the zodiac, many buy into that. I don’t either...no religious beliefs, just not important in a design of jewelry.

 


@Shanus.  I though it looked like a good ring for a man.

It is actually 12 of them, and some were designed with guys in mind. Yes, black onyx is the stone men wear often. If you look at Leo ring, it does look masculine. There are prently of feminine looking. The craftsmanship is spectaculr as usual. She did pick interesting stones.

@Justice4all, and @Shanus - I had to check on that one ... interesting and fitting description.

a Yiddish word that describes the overly ornate, busy, ridiculously over-decorated, and garnished to the point of distaste.

I like BB and most of her designs.  I do have a few items, however the prices are high.

@Shanus,

Love BB however this ring is not among her unique wearable art kind of jewelry 🌻It is a matter of personal taste however I stay away from everything related to zodiac symbols

Re: BARBARA BIXBY RING ON Q2

Most of Barbara's pieces are feminine and pretty. I think she's a wonderful designer. Her pieces are a little expensive though. Maybe because of the detail work.

I did not care for the ring you're talking about. I thought it looked to big and bulky for a woman. We all have different tastes though and there's not a thing wrong with that.

I do like Or Paz and have bought a few pieces for my daughter and youngest sister. The prices are really good and the best part is that they're not made in China! I'm sorry but it really bothers me to look at an expensive piece only to see China stamped on the inside. No way will I buy that piece no matter how pretty it might be.

Isn't Or Paz made in Isreal? I think a lot of their pieces are handmade too. Please correct me if I'm wrong. These are a couple of the reasons my daughter likes this line. Her favorite piece is the spinner ring. I got it the silver with the rose gold bands. She loves the spinner bands. And the price was so great!

Do any of you girls own Barbara;s key pendant? The one with a gemstone and a pearl at the bottom.I think it's an enhancer too. I really want that key pendant but I would like to hear more reveiws about the piece before I buy it, which needs to be soon if I'm going to get it because they're selling out of choices.
