Not calling my name either. But no worries, a couple of other pieces are.

PPM, are you going for the Black Spinel Cuff with the Multi-gem cabochons? I thought of you when I saw it. I love it, and in years past I would have grabbed it in a heart beat, but it's double what I am willing to spend on this show.

I love it but I'm not getting it, too high for me. We're getting ready to move and will be spending a couple of months in a hotel, etc. I would have grabbed it too, but those days are over for me.

Remember the black enamel pendant and earrings that some of us thought looked like Russian jewelry? Came out a few years ago. I think they'd go perfectly with this cuff. I bet it's 10 times prettier in person.

I did order the new amethyst cuff though but that might be it for me. I think I would have gone for the watch if it would have been offered in pink too.

Did you have to mention the "Russian" pieces? I found them in my silver saver, and they will match nicely with the new cuff. I returned the original matching black onyx "Russian" cuff as it was so heavy with its substantial hunk of onyx. I would love to have the new cabochon and black spinel cuff, too, but I need to scale back also. Perhaps I'll just wear the "Russian" earrings and clip-on instead….

It's not easy being good.

Yes, PPM, I do remember those earrings and pendant---I have them. They were round black onyx with a silver "grill" with gemstones. There was a black enamel matching cuff wit the same embellishments that came out a bit later----I never got that---wish I did. It was in the mid to high $300 range and I thought too expensive---how silly of me!

That new AMY cuff with the stones on the top edges is fabulous! Enjoy!

I ordered the Brown AND the Green watches (one might go back). Hoping the Green goes with the GG pieces I have. I also have the Mint Quartz Monaco.

You know what's funny about those pieces?? I've probably only worn them about 10 times, but every time I did, my husband commented how much he likes them. Other pieces he doesn't even notice.

I know it's not JB!

Sheesh, I never got the cuff either and always wished I would have. At the time it came out, I wasn't crazy about it...which is odd since I love the earrings and enhancer.

I don't know why your post didn't show up for me last night.

$200 for stainless steel and diamonique?

A rip-off.

PMP, I think the reason you didn't like the matching Russian cuff is that it had a large expanse of black onyx, and it didn't look as graceful as the other pieces in the set. It was like the masculine counterpart to a very feminine set. No wonder your husband likes those pieces. They are of a smaller scale, with very ladylike flourishes of silver, little gemstones and sparkly diamonique.

I actually wore the pieces last night, and rediscovered them, so thanks for mentioning them.

Hey ladies, what are the russian pieces? Do they have a silver design on the black onyx with gemstones in the design, blue topaz, peridot, and some garnet I think.

[Iluvlucy]

You're right Jersey. The cuff just didn't do it for me when I first saw it like the more delicate counterparts. Although, I do have a funky side and the cuff would have been more rock-n-roll imo. Great with the black leather cord.

Enjoy the shows!

Yes, they were very Faberge-esque! On the small side--a chubby Black Onyx disc/drop with a "grill' with those little gemstones and some DQ and matching drop earrings. Very special pieces. The cuff came out later and it had huge slabs of black onyx which made it quite heavy. It had the same "grill/medallion" in the center of the wide cuff.

Maybe NewJerseyGirl can come up with a number and photo.

I have the enhancer, the earrings, and the cuff. I love them and never knew what it was called.
