@SANNA I bought the midi ring in the verde.  Sorry you were disappointed.  I like mine although I think that the setting itself is lighter than what I've gotten from MV in the past.  Wearing it and thinking about it for a few days before I make a decisiion.


Hi GinaV24! I am sure your stone shines like crazy! My stones were sparkly too, but it has to be the whole package for me at this point. I cannot complain on the lightness of setting, it was good enough. But the appearance with painted gold was not to my standards and liking at all. Reminded me gum machine rings. Sorry.

I know your setting is different, hope you will enjoy it,if you keep it, in good health !

Attention all Michael lovers:  July 29th, he's having a pear shape pink topaz ring as his ttv.  I think the stone is about maybe  7 or 8 carat he didn't say, but the good thing is there are two side stones that are sort of large that you can actually see and they can be seen.  Not a fan of pear shaped stones, but this ring is too pretty to pass up.  I would have put a pic on here but it just won't work for me.  The pic can be found on his facebook page.  I can post pics anywhere but this website I just can't for some reason.  Sorry about that.

Beautiful design, but unfortunately I can't pull off a stone that large on my small hands.

hey @blingqueen thanks for the heads up.  I bought the ouro verde midi ring and though it is pretty, I'm not sure if it is exactly what I'm looking for.  Now I have to decide wheterh to keep it or return it so I can buy the pink topaz instead.  I like that size stone, I just can't pull off the 22 carat size but I like what MV calls "wearable" sized stone.

@BlingQueen022  Thanks so much for the update, Bling!  The only "pink" gems I own are Tourmaline and Rubellite (not MV's).  Some of the pieces he has already presented in Pink Topaz appear close in color to Rubellite.  Look forward to seeing the presentation on the 29th!

 

I agreed to do some consulting work for my former employer and have been very busy for the last several days.  It's for a defined project and should take about 3 weeks to complete.  Very much hope all is going well with you and yours, dear lady!!

@GinaV24 I don't know if you saw the ring or not, but if you go on Facebook and type Michael Valatutti (sp) not sure of the spelling of his last name, but if you type most of it in the names will appear and you'll know what to click on to see it.  I don't like the 22 carat rings either.  I actually sold all the 22 carat rings I had on the Bay.  I think this stone runs maybe 7 or 8 carats he just didn't say how big the stone is.  I'm not a fan of pear shaped stones, but I'm impressed that the side stones are large. That's unusual for Michael.  i think this one will probably be coming home to me.  I do want to see the presentation of it first though.  The Ouro verde midi ring is very pretty.  I have two rings with that stone already.  Good luck with your decision to keep or not to keep it.

@Dallas-Dame Hi Dallas.  Congrats on the consulting job.  Always nice to know it's just temporary, lol lol   Was a hot day for me today.  We had no air conditioning in the office the entire day.  I'm hoping it's repaired by tomorrow.  I'm glad to be home.  I was surprised to see that this ttv ring was pear shaped because he showed a bunch of loose pink stones that were oval and not pear shaped.  The ring is very pretty.  As I told another poster if you want to see what the ring looks like just get on Facebook and type his name in and you'll see it.  If it appears in the Evine web page, I'll try posting a pic here again.  For some reason I've been having trouble posting pics.  I can post everywhere else, but here for some silly reason.  

 

Anyway, enjoy the consulting job.  That will keep ya busy for the next three weeks.  I'm sure they're glad to have you back even if it is only temporary.  Huggles and hellos to your fabulous Mom, and please don't forget to fill her in on the ttv ring in July.

thanks so much, bling, I appreciate it.  Yes it is always a hard choice on whether to keep or return, although I mostly keep because I really like his designs.  I bought the mermaid red coral earrings and when it was a OTO I bought the matching necklace.  I love it.

@BlingQueen022  Sorry for the delay in responding to your post, Bling!  We lost our connectivity shortly after reading it and it wasn't resolved until this afternoon.

 

I absolutely adore pear-shaped stones as they seem to suit my hands/fingers best.  I'm excited to see what Michael has in store for us later this month.  The consulting job will ease my conscience if I decide to purchase a piece of two...thanks for the good wishes...I'm enjoying the project greatly!

 

My mom sends her kindest wishes to you and marked her calendar.  She always enjoys his presentations.

 

I know this is O/T but I've noticed in the Beauty Forum that you appear to be a fan of Skinn Cosmetics (been reading every Skinn thread I could find).  I started incorporating Dimitri's products into my routine earlier this year (along with a couple from Isomers) and I'm very pleased with the results.  They're considerably more affordable than the department store lines I used for years and seem quite effective.  I must admit that I'm looking forward to the anniversary shows this weekend.

 

Our weather has been sizzling, too.  Hope the AC in your office is running smoothly today and you have a fabulous week, my friend!
