1) I've been having significant problems with earring findings, causing me to return two earrings which otherwise I found to be beautiful. On both the pierced version of the HUGE RQ earrings(J336377) and the YGClad BO earrings(J291919) the findings caused my ear lobes to have great pain; RETURNED.

2) Got both versions of the TSV rings as a pinky ring and love it! What a wonderful creation.

3) GG Monaco ring(J293551) - I'm on the fence about this one, but leaning toward return. My first impression was disappointment that it didn't have the same presence as my other two GG rings, in both metal mediums. The craftsmanship leaves a lot to be desired. There is noticeable rough spots on the pave emeralds. There is also a very rough spot on one of the prongs holding the large doublet down; this bothers me a lot as it seems to rub my finger no matter what way I place in on my finger. I am disappointed that the mystical green glow seems to be AWOL.

4) Had to immediately return the GG soft bracelet(J290464). The average was listed as being 7-1/2" which would have been great for my 6" wrist. Unfortunately, it didn't even make 7" in length which, in reading reviews, seems to be a common problem.

6) Eclipse ring(J293881) and dangle earrings(J293865) - HUBBA BUBBA! They are both beautiful and very well made and have great presence of elegance. The earrings are happy on my ears, with no hint of anger directed toward my lobes.

7) LBT ring(J294490) - FABULOUS! Using the same setting used for the emerald ring was genius. The stones are beautiful color saturation and clear and clean. I will enjoy wearing this exotic looking ring.

8) The turq doublet square earrings(J283407) are a wonderful addition to my growing collection of turq treasures. There is great presence on the ear and it is comfy too. I have become a new fan of the button style of earring and have recently increased this presence among my collection.

9) The DMQ "hater" in me continues to develop a new appreciation for it, in certain situations. One of these situations is my new hoop earrings(J291796). There is just enough DMQ to have presence but not too much to look overboard. Lovely.

10) Got three items on Lunchtime Specials and they're all winners - Amazonite dangle earrings(J284720), YGCLAD & DMQ pear shaped ring(J288324), and the 20" YGCLAD and DMQ cherries necklace(J277198). All of them are wonderful and the price drop made it even better. Craftsmanship is wonderful.

11) Almost 14 cts. SBT earrings(J281844): They are glorious and almost too heavy for my ears. But I placed earring guards on the back of the lobes to support the earrings and all was fine the entire day of wearing. They are so luscious and certainly have great presence on your ears. The craftsmanship of these earrings is remarkable. LOVE THEM!

I am awaiting the pink love cuff to arrive and capture my heart.

I am very lucky to have acquired such wonderful treasures.

Kaplan, thanks for your reviews. I always look forward to reading yours. I'm waiting on my LBT ring...WL

I got the silver version cherries necklace. Isn't it gorgeous??? Plus I love the discount on it. I have Judith's turquoise double ring J283044. Love it. I actually had sent it back once as at that time I'd ordered too many pieces!! So on the 5 easy pay day I reordered it. Its a favorite even though I have her turq Monaco ring.

I hope you're doing well & keeping cool. We are having a heat wave here.

Take care, Pepper22

Oh, Pepper! I can only imagine how glorious the silver versions looks on you. And that turq ring is fab too.

Wear them all in the best of health. I hope the cast comes off soon.
