Oh Heck!

I just ordered the 22.50 carat rose quartz earrings with the matching enhancer! These will be my birthday present to me in June....I can't pass up these beauties at this price!

<em>Pink goes with everything</em>, through out the year....this is a no brainer!

Yes it does! Those new RQ pieces look great.

I have this RQ necklace from years ago. I bet the new RQ enhancer would look great with it.

Judith Ripka Sterling 10.0mm Gemstone Bead 18 Necklace w/ Heart Enhancer

Hi Newjerseygirl!

I do believe you would be correct with that assumption! These new pieces would be a lovely accompaniment to your beautiful RQ beads!

Which earrings are you going for?

I now wish I had those RQ beads!

Good choice, Me2me. I confess I also ordered the enhancer. Happy June birthday, too!

NJG, I have those RQ beads, also. Love them!

Ennui, you could be right.

Traveler, that is what I am concerned about, at least regarding the sudden switch to earrings without clip offerings.

Goodstuff, what you write is true, but Judith always offered the majority of her earrings in clip once she started making them for us.

Look at the actual measurements for that 2nd earring - the larger carat weight seems odd if the earring is a mere 7/8"" long?????

ITA, Expatgal. I did a double take, too, and looked at all of its twins in lemon quartz, and smoky quartz and in onyx, and all of them are 7/8" long as well. It is very interesting, but the earrings are practically all gemstone, and they are just over 1/2" wide and they are rectangular, which would account for some of the carat weight. It is interesting for sure.

Hi Jersey Born,

Thank you! Enjoy your new enhancer! I will cross my fingers that Judith is holding the clips for the show for you......

I guess you would say I have the opposite problem. I have many really nice earrings from my mother with clip backs. My father had given them to her over the years. The quality is excellent and they are really pretty but I am very sensitive to heavy backs. I have to find someone to convert them for me. None of my daughters want them without the pieced back and I will forever be staring at them in a drawer.

I'm sure I'm wrong, but those new earrings have a strong "Monaco vibe" to me. I'm wondering if we'll see more Monaco rings sometime????

A jeweler can easily convert the pierced with omega back to a clip omega back.

Just asking - where would you ever want to wear these huge earrings? They would pull on your earlobes terribly...

Thanks, Me2me, but I doubt that clips are being held back as much as I would like that to be the case.

Bonnielu, you should have those earrings converted so you and your daughters can enjoy wearing them.

Expatgal, I think these new earrings resemble the JR Sterling Ambrosia earrings very closely. I am drawn to the Q versions more as they have natural gemstones in them.

Terrier3, if these earrings are truly 7/8" by 5/8", they are not huge at all, at least not in my opinion. I would wear them anywhere at all. Pink is my favorite color, so I would never not feel comfortable wearing them anywhere, anytime. Some women wear 3" wide hoops, something that I would never consider.

18 carats in each ear...I don't see how that wouldn't be heavy!
