This! That cuff was beautiful, but that was a lot of money for what it was.

You received it already? Wow! That was super fast. Glad it has exceeded your expectations. It was a big wow on air, that is for sure. Much nicer on air than it looked online, and it looked pretty nice online, actually. LOL. I look forward to seeing it in person one day.

Thank you JB and Dallas Dame. I appreciated your thoughtfulness.

Hi Ms Kaplan,

I have not posted for quite awhile; however, I have been reading all the posts and watching the Ripka jewelry shows. I love her "stuff" and I am delighted that you received that stunning bracelet and love it.

Wear it in good health and please ignore anyone who wants to rain on your happiness.

I am waiting for the new watch in black.

I just want to say that if I am anticipating a rough day at work; I always have to wear at least one Ripka piece to feel completely dressed. A dress or a suit is not enough-there has to be something Ripka

When I saw this cuff, I was surprised---not because of the price, but because it's the first piece that I have thought was not "the JR style and look."

Since it's attractive to you, I truly hope you enjoy it. This combination just does not appeal to me. I really can't put my finger on the reason that I think it looks off.

I know you will enjoy wearing your multi-color cuff. I will wait and see what comes to us in the future. Thank goodness we are all different and like different things.

Enjoy,

tea

Puffin- I agree that wearing a piece of Miss Judie's treasure just completes the outfit. Thanks for your kind words.

teainlondon - You know, I thought the same thing about this cuff - is this really Miss Judie's stuff? But looking at the carving and the care into the execution of her vision lets you know that it is. Maybe the unusual nature is what appealed to me. Fortunately, there is enough variety in her designs to appeal to almost all of us. And anyway, our differences in "likes' is what makes things interesting. Thanks,
