@Sammycat1 - Hi!  Did you go for the new multi-leopard line bracelet from Jai?  It is very tempting to me.

You know me and how I love the big cats, but that multi-leopard line bracelet was a little too many leopard heads for me. The leopard bangle has an elegance to it that this new bracelet did not--at least at first look. But I'd still like to see reviews on it and might change my mind!

Secretly, I yearn for a JAI cheetah.

@Sammycat1 A cheetah...  sounds wonderful to me. Perhaps that will be the next cat to debut? I am also partial to lynx kitties.

And if Scott ever decided to do a baby harp seal enhancer, or cuff, or even ring, I would just go bonkers.

I still regret a diamond simulant baby harp seal ring that Victoria Wieck made for HSN several years ago that I did not purchase.  It was so very, very adorable with its big black eyes, and chunky face and body.

I like Jai, but I am not too big of fan of animal jewelry. They are cute, but it is hard to make them fit in regular outfits.

Jai has the best jewlery boxes, and the best packaging of all lines.

I like his rings, chains and earrings, not bracelets. I found that bangle tarnish terribly n Seattle, and it is impossible to clean them. 

His chains are very Yurman like. 

I agree with the comment, it is not a super feminine line. I like Jai stories and meaning behind the pieces.

I don't like the heavier pieces.  Don't like to feel the bracelet on my wrist.  And they get in the way.

@Jersey Born  I remember that ring. It was a beauty--and I know what you mean about jewelry regrets!

And, a lynx. Oh, yes, please!

@alice87  I wear absolutely no prints in clothing, hate them, so I have no trouble fitting animal jewelry in; my jewelry is THE accessory.  But I get what you mean:  to each her own. 

[alice87]

It might make sense, since I like too much colors. I have croco mama piece and It is so hard for me to find what to wear it with. 

I remember the green onyx was sold out, so I got turquoise, still puzzle me, I am thinking about changing the stone to make it work.

@Shanus - I have thought that the sudden explosion of more delicate looks in jewelry was driven more by the increase in silver and gold costs and a desire for greater profit margins, than an actual desire of the public for less silver and gold in their jewelry items.  

I love my more substantial pieces from a time years ago when designers did not skimp on the amount of silver and gold in their pieces.  Of course, one could certainly question the use of jewelry at this time when people are being discouraged from socializing with friends. Historically, though, there have always been those who appreciate delicate and smaller scale looks in their jewelry and those who desire higher impact looks from their jewelry.  I guess I leaned more toward the more heavy weight pieces.  I miss those days, and I appreciate Jai jewelry, because they do use a lot of silver in their items, even now.

@Jersey Born I think you are right.  I am hearing people say that silver is going through the ceiling because of its many useful applications, and some speculate it will be more expensive than gold which is usually an ornamental application whereby silver is used in industry as well as ornamentation.
