Enjoy your new purchases! I want that new leopard ring, but I'd have to rob a bank to get one since my surgery, lol.

Thank you, @Sammycat1. I did not order the leopard ring you covet, which is very pretty and sparkly in diamond, black spinel, and emerald, but I did go a bit overboard with, and splurge on, all those garnet and turquoise rings, bracelets and enhancers.

I knew you would be drawn to that leopard ring! It sort of screamed "Sammycat"!

I did recently wear (and truly enjoyed wearing) a much older Jai leopard cuff (the one with the front legs outstretched, and the tail wrapping around the wrist to the other side and top of the cuff), and matching ring with the face and tail of the leopard on top, out to dinner with friends to enhance a leopard print blouse I was wearing. The funny thing was that I was concerned that leopard print might not be in style in 2026, so I typed that into a search and found that leopard is indeed making a comeback for 2026.

GMTA! You know me and my cats. I have those same two leopard pieces and wear them often. I'd like the JAI new leopard ring to complement a hefty but elegant black spinel cuff (Non-designer) I bought on JTV.

I'll have to wait it out for now. Poo.

FYI, @Sammycat1 , I had to look up that acronym GMTA. I figured out it must mean "great minds think alike" through process of elimination, and not "German Machine Tools of America", or "Georgia Music Teachers Association", or "Global Medical Technology Alliance". LOL. That was fun and educational, actually. There are so many different entities and associations listed online, it boggles the mind.

Glad you are feeling better and on the mend. Black spinel is a very versatile stone that gives off so much more sparkle than black onyx (which I also like quite a lot). As I bang around my hands way too much, just going about my day, pave gemstone rings and cuffs and I have a long, sordid, and even sad relationship. Today, I even split my thumb nail just getting out of a car!

These are the pieces that tempted me last night:

JAI Sterling Silver Diamond & Black Spinel Box Chain Bracelet

JAI Sterling Silver Diamond & Black Spinel Dome Ring

As a van Gogh lover, they scream Starry Night to me.

Thank you @RescueLover . Yes, I goofed and typed J-45 and meant J-46. Before you know it we'll be on to the J-47s.

@faeriemoon OOOOH, I liked the black spinel bracelet too. I thought the chain was too thick for my taste, so I didn't get it, but I guess it needed a big chain to balance out all those stones! Very pretty!
