Peachy, I must begin by apologizing that I won't place these in your review threads. Quite frankly, I can't remember when I got them. But feel free to place them where ever you want them to go.

Even though it seemed like we were on the go 24/7 during the many months that DS#1 was hospitalized, I still managed to buy more than my fair share of JRQ. And in some respects, I may have over purchased in response to the enormous stress I was under. Even though these are very late to the time purchased, I felt I should still post them to get information out. I know I so appreciate all of your reviews, for it does help me decide sometimes if I should purchase. I also should make mention that I'm a sucker for anything of Miss Judy's which goes on clearance, especially if I had my eye on it. Also, the size of my ring finger, LH, grew a size, almost in front of my eyes! My "lovely" arthritis at work. I was on the lookout for rings too. Hence, there are a lot of purchases here over a three month period. Here it goes, in no particular order.

J148983 - Lovely necklace, with the cabbys softly giving a come hither look. All the links are carved, of course, and lays comfortably on the neck. I think this will become a fav in the summertime, but also works well with the heart enhancer.

J145705 - Got both of them to go along with both cuffs purchased much earlier. (Blue) One of the Ripkanistas wore the pink one to the holiday party and that was it for me. When I came home I ordered both and both are fabulous in capital letters. I have been wearing them a lot lately, separately, I suppose that V-Day was on my mind, and I can't begin to tell you how many people have complimented me on them. The colors are true and the combo of faceted and cabbys makes for such an interesting mix. The weight on both is substantial, but not painful in any way. The intricacies of the silver work makes for new discoveries every time you see it again. I'm so glad they went on clearance.

J145706 - What else did you expect? It was on clearance, I have the cuff and the heart already. How could I not get this? I wish the pinks were still available too. This does not have great reviews, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. It's gorgeous! Flat out, shut my mouth gorgeous! The colors of the stones are dead on and magnificent and work alone or with the heart, which is how I wear it most. This is a treasure which may not again come our way at these prices.

J154241 - Gave a quickie review on this one previously, b/c I didn't want anyone to order without reading my take on it. I used one of my EPs On Demand for this puppy. WHat a disappointment! The stones seemed dead - there was no life to them. And as for the RQ, there was no pink at all. Was returned quickly and CS reinstated my EPs & I used it on another JRQ.

J138298 - Fun and flirty! Yeah, yeah, yeah I know they are DMQ and I tend to stay far away from DMQ. But these babies work and were so inexpensive, but so well made. And comfortable to beat a band! Love them! Sold out.

J143862 - Added this to my charm necklace. Beautiful! Sold out.

J143900 - Classy, elegant and on sale! Color is spot on champagne and it has perfect balance on your finger. Carving is lovely. If you can wear a size 9 or 11 you could still get it.

J153721 - I ADORE THESE EARRINGS! I got them in pierced and they are happy in my ears for hours and hours of non-stop time in the hospital. Minimal DMQ. The pink color of the MoP and RQ is luscious and strong. The drop pearls can be removed and they are still fabulous. I've worn them both ways. They are on sale too. They are a perfect, versatile earring. Fabulous!

J151263 - Loved the concept and the heart was beautiful, but I wanted most to wear this via the bale. Oy to the bale. It just wouldn't stay put and kept flipping. I flipped this on back to the Q.

J153913 - Got this beauty as a OTO, I believe. It is fabulously beautiful without being in your face. The sapphys are blue, not black, and can be easily seen as such. The pearl is lustrous and the ring fits very well. I especially love the carving underneath the main stone, and I'm sorry b/c I can't remember the technical tern for that area of a ring. A real winner!

J142670 - These earring couldn't be more adorable ti they tried. Fabulous on the ear with presence and comfort. It's amazing that so much carving could go on such a little space and show up. They are a steal at the clearance price.

J154329 - I think it was SM/MS would brought to my attention the glories of prehnite, and it is glorious. The clip on is a smaller one, but that in no way distracts from its quiet presence. It is lovely and perfect. On sale too.

J156479 - I believe it was on special pricing/EPs when I purchased it. It is glorious. The colors of the gems, playing off one another, is mesmerizing. I almost sent it back b/c of the DMQ which is unnecessary to me, but I didn't & I'm glad. I especially love the double ropes around each gem.

J156299 - Really, really wanted to love this ring, but I couldn't. The GC on mine was so washed out to be insignificant to the ring, and the GC is why I bought it. I'm sticking with the original DMQ heart ring. This went back.

J05423 - Two earrings in one! The heart charm can be removed and you are left with the sleek hoops which I like to wear with the charm necklace. Comfy. Fun and flirty earring and on sale. I love it even with the DMQ.

Got the Garland earrings & necklace - love them both. The scale of these is just about perfect. Just a little something, something, as Lisa R. would say. The DMQ is minimal, yeah, and I think I will wear these a lot especially during the warmer months.

J153725 - Why was I such a slub and not get this when it was first shown at a special price? This is a wonderful bracelet. The charm itself is great and fun, but my true love are the links. There are so many variations and each time I wear it with my watch and sunflower cuff I see something different. This is a treasure.

J152607 - I've loved these since they were first shown and they were on some sort of incentive and going to be retired. I got both the clip & pierced. Oh my goodness! Both of them killed my ears! They were returned lickety split. They were beautiful, though.

J143899 - amy - There was some special incentive to this also. I was kind of iffy about it at first and then it grew on me. Not wearing it too much now, as I'm wearing more bulky stuff. Should be great during the summer. Great color on them.

J148316 - I do love my pearls, and this one was on clearance. Well, you know what that means, especially since it had been on my wishies. This is such a unique piece, with fun and sophistication all wrapped up in one necklace. It is so comfortable too. Love it!

Most items were definite winners, with a few not suiting my tastes. All arrived properly packaged in JRQ packaging, but the clearance items were most definitely previously used but in excellent condition. I hope the reviews helps someone out with their decision(s) as you have so often helped me.

I am waiting on the Recently Reduced prehnite & BO earrings to arrive.
