Jewelry

Sinned, Ok, I said it. My last posting was me vowing to not break down and purchase anything since I'd been having a run of defective returns, but, alas, again I must confess, I buckled. Although I didn't do too bad, here goes. I got both the new Monacos, since I have every one, I couldn't stop now, then I purchased the earrings and necklace OTO with the Swarovski cut DQ, 3 pairs of BB hoop earrings, the Peridot, Iolite and Garnet, the JR Amy station necklace, and JR DQ hoops. I could have kept going, with the TSV and a few more items, but, I figured I better quit. The Monacos should be new and not returns since they're not completed yet, as for the other items, I'm hoping that they arrive in good condition and I'll be happy. I see that the TSV was a hit, and it is gorgeous. Wear it in good health, and I look forward to viewing the pics. I must now go and do my penance. FYI, love the Emeralds, but learned the hard way, (broken and lost stones), that Emeralds are great for earrings and necklaces, but when it comes to rings and bracelets, I have had my Emerald stones accidently get bumped, broken, fallen out of my settings, scratch, and chip. One minute I have a perfect piece of jewelry, next thing I see, my stones gone. Once you start having to replace stones, it's not always easy matching the color and quality of the emeralds, let along the added expense. So, upsetting! Emeralds require caution when wearing, they're softer than Sapphires and Rubies, but, boy, are they stunning and I do love them. When you get that perfect green and the stones are clear, OMG. Everyone enjoy your new items and I guess I'll catch you all at the next show! Pug

Hi Pugaru,

I am not a priest, but I work in a Catholic School, so lets just say that I absolve you of your sins.

For your Penance, say 3 Hail Marys and enjoy your new pieces of JR jewelry.

NJG LOL! During her visits, I tell myself that I will not purchase anything, but then something usually comes along that breaks my willpower. Everything in moderation....or is it, pick your poison?

I hope they turn out to be sinsational.

NJG, I had to laugh because the 3 Hail Mary's were standard along with a couple of Our Father's and you were good to go until Mass on Sunday. Thanks for the chuckle. Hi Celtics Fan, I was able to go to 1 game many years ago, can you say nose bleed and a steel girder in the middle of my vision. Still enjoyed the game any way, Celtics vs Lakers at the Garden. Brew, as you pointed out, "sinsational", and yet less calories. Pug

Well, all your posts made me LOL! We need to understand that as humans we are sinners and although we try to exhibit self control, it is not so easily done. Jersey absolved you but, honestly, we Methodists just love the Lord's Prayer. So .......you know what you have to do. Plus write 500 times in perfect penmanship, I am a sinner. Can you tell I went to Catholic school for 12 years!! Enjoy what you have a what you get. Can't wait to see your reviews, especially of the new Monacos.

Wow, when you sin---you sure go big!!! LOL! Say an Act of Contrition along with those three Hail Marys and throw in a couple of Our Fathers for good measure! But I have a feeling we're gonna see you back in this Confessional!

Enjoy your Monaco rings and your other goodies when you get them!!
