I do! I do! In fact, I own it. Must go close to twenty years ago. I also own another one,from the same era, that is multi-colored gems mounted in square links, with a toggle closure. Still wear them! Much heavier weight, back then.

thank you so much...............can you tell me anything about it/

what kind of stones are in it? What do you think I should start it at?

I want to list it on ebay and not sure of all the facts-thanks!

Beautiful. I like cabochons over cut stones in a lot of my jewelry.

I have it too. Probably 17 years old. I think all the stones are jade. I cannot remember the price, but back then, I was probably under $150. Good luck

Yes, it is one of her very early pieces (the first year she was on the Q) before she started doing the rhodium finish and using Diamonique. It was highly polished silver. I had it in the Red, Green and Black Jade version but sold it "over there." It's all jade.

I think the stones are jade. I remember buying a JR lavender jade cuff for under $75.00. I sold it on Ebay like an idiot. I figured lavender was out of style. Now its back again.

I have an old ring from this same time period set with blue topaz and peridot. Heavy silver, no plating, no DMQ. It's a really nice ring. That and my old "country link" bracelet with the heart charm. I didn't pay much for them either. Of course, at the time I thought they were VERY expensive!!!! ;-)

I have that ring, too. It's a Ripka classic.
