Jewelry

[imamagpie]

I started shopping seriously for jewelry about three years duting a convalescence. At the time I wasn't too wowed by JR, but when the big bagel necklace came on air I thought, "wow, that looks like THE chain I've been looking for", so I ordered it. I hated it! It was dull, scratchy, and just very disappointing, so I sent it back and wrote a scathing review. Ah, what a difference time and experience can teach us. I'm still glad I sent that necklace back, but since then I've seen some Ripka pieces that totally changed my perspective. But I held off ordering as her prices tended to be more than I wanted to spend on any one item. THEN, came the pinks/purples set, and boy, I was hooked. I knew I had to have it. Over the past year I have acquired all the pieces, thanks to EZ pay, and now wear the enhancer on the Diamonique JR heart necklace. I chose the clear so that I could wear other-colored enhancers with it. Now I also own the mint quartz heart necklace, the pave heart ring (which I haven't taken off since it arrived a month ago), and today I received the mint quartz cushion cut ring, which is gorgeous. I bought the little sister cuff and killed it, sort of, by trying to make it tighter - it snapped in half and all the diamoniques are gone (color me sick at heart), but I've sort of rescued it by bending it back into shape and wiring silver plated tiny beads into the diamonique spaces. Oh dear, what shall I do? This is becoming an obsession. Help me, Ripkanistas!
