Thanks, yellow! I just picked Paul's SB halo button earrings with blue topaz. Really like the bracelet,but have 3 SB bracelets already, so I am trying to stay strong.

What is "stabilized" turquoise?

It means that the stone is natural, but had certain treatment to stabilize its color. Because turquoise is very porouse stone the dirt, oils from skin ,creams,etc can penetrate it and the stone would change its color to dull greenish.

I probably have half a dozen Sleeping Beauty bracelets but I broke down and purchased yet another one! I got the Top Value with blue topaz. I don;t care for the other gemstones with the turquoise. Why am I so weak??:

I am trying to stand firm here and not buy anything from this visit.  There was a pair of earrings though that man, I am really tempted to buy.  Holding firm so far.

The turquoise with the blue topaz is one ofthe prettiest combinations.  I missed out on that combination a few months with Paul had TSV.  I purchased the turquoise with lavender amethyst and I love that combo too.  Enjoy that lovely bracelet.  I love Evine's jewelry shows.

Iam trying to hold firm.  Fortunately I will be out of the house today.  However they have lovely pieces.  Nothing is speaking to me yet LOL.  I do love watching all of the vendors especially Judy with Joya.

This event is killing me!  LOL  I've ordered a Bird's eye turquoise pair of earrings, a Bird's eye turquoise pendant, a bracelet (not the TTV) and another pair of earrings! LOL

 

Edited to say:  There are several other pieces I would love to have, but I will not order any turquoise that is adhesive set and most of Paul's stuff is.

I got Michael V's Sleeping Beauty stud earrings. They are a nice size - not too big and not too small. I love the combination of gold and paladium.
