Re: JAI Sneak Peeks

I was tempted by the new lotus cuff until I saw the price. The gold petals are just in the front, and the back ones are silver. It just seems too expensive to me.

I really like the look of the hammered bead hoops, but again, I am surprised at the price. They are just a bit more than the bracelet. I was expecting them to be about $129, not $229. I have the necklace and bracelet, and the hoops sure would look good with the two, but I am just not sure if I want to spend that much. Any opinions would be appreciated.

I love the look of that ring with all of the carving and flower details, too. I am trying not to get into yet another collection, though, even though I like it very much. I am very close to caving on the basketweave bangle (the one with the design all the way around) after having already caved on the baby croco enhancer. I think the bangle will look smashing with my leopard-laying-on-a-basketweave-circle enhancer, which is so lovely I wouldn't mind wearing it almost every day on the thicker box chain necklace as my signature necklace.

My feeling on hoops is that they look silly when the back is open. I really don't like hoops with a post and clutch back at all. So even if I loved the hoops you are talking about, I wouldn't spend more than I wanted to if I didn't like everything about them.

I really love the 3D basketweave on that bangle. Enjoy it!

There are only a few things that called my name; the vast majority were all "Nopes".

I missed the basketweave bangle the first time he offered it; I purchased one as it works with so many other pieces I own. That was a no-brainer.

I went back and forth about the new cuffs. The price is up there. What I noticed is the cuff is the same width as the basketweave bangle; I thought it was the same thin width of the box chain cuff. Since it's wider, plus the gold....ok, the price make a bit more sense. I love they showed it layered/flanking other bangles. This may wind up being a purchase since my birthday, our anniversary and Christmas are all in a row in a very short time.

Other than that, nothing wowed me. There is a bangle still to come that looks like it will be a September debut; you can get it in smooth and basketweave but floral and croco are still on waitlist- the floral and basketweave debuted during his last visit but it's the croco I want.

Have fun everyone!!

Disappointed in the Amethyst Flower Ring... the color is to light.

Not to mention only .90 points!

@faeriemoon I couldn't agree more!! Who ever came up with that idea? It looks like the earring is unfinished.

@Sweet_Serenity The ring is so pretty. I imagine all the floral work is the star of the ring and the gemstone is just an accent to it.

Still want to see it presented as I love citrine. Who knows, maybe the amethyst will be a little darker when you actually see it.

After lots of deliberation and rewatching of the presentation, I ended up getting the cute crocodile enhancer and the black spinel necklace. Already ordered the gold station box chain bracelet four days ago (still in process!!?!).

I was sure I'd get the gold bead hoops but decided to pass; I have so many earrings and the price was just crazy, imo.
