I am so happy she brought back this ring since I missed out on it in the past. I am so happy I sized up by listening to the women who already own this ring. The thickness of the shank takes some time getting used to so give it a few days of wear ladies and then decide if you want to keep it.
I bought it in iolite and garnet and waitlisted the peridot. This is a substantial high quality ring and so glad Barbara didn't cut down on quality. This is a must have ring if you love Barbara's designs.

Mine just got shipped on the 4th, quite a delay, I was not on waitlist. I don't own any Bixby because I've always considered her items a poor value for the money. But 99.00? I couldn't resist the iolite, that's a stone I don't have currently. I stepped on my only pair of earrings.

On 2/4/2015 springers said: I love all my Bixby rings, but I am on the fence about this one (Iolite). The shank is wider than I expected. I find the beadwork rough. Mine has no oxidation, I expected a little. (I dont like too much). I love the stone color (blue purple). The detail is over the top, like a decorated wedding cake. I know the value, so that is swaying me to keep it. It is a beautiful ring. I appreciate her keeping the gold flowers.
I'm a bit on the fence for the same reason as you, springers. This is my first BB piece and it's over the top intricate in the details and more substantial than TV made it look, but the beadwork is rubbing uncomfortably on the adjacent fingers. Even tho I liked the brightness of the peridot, I have so much of that stone and don't wear a lot of green. I ordered the iolite since I have only 2 pieces with any in it. It's a beautiful purple-blue color, but doesn't stand out as much as the peridot would.
I also see I don't have much, if any oxidation either. While I don't care for heavily oxidized pieces, a little on this to bring out the detailed design was more what I expected.
I'll test out the ring for a few days and see if I adjust to the rubbing. For the size and detail of this ring, I think the TSV price was very fair, especially when it's Bixby.

Sigh...I'm on waitlist for the iolite and I'm sure it will take a while before I get it. I ordered it very late in the day and changed my choice from garnet to iolite so I'm sure that pushed me back even further.
I wish she would come out with an affordable bracelet for a TSV. The caravan on her website looks lovely as you can add charms to it but it's just too expensive for me.

I got my TSV in iolite and it's going back and pronto. It is big, awkward, cumbersome and just not what I am looking for. Feels very bulky on the finger. For the life of me I can't figure out why this didn't come across to me on screen. I find the size of it to be just plain ugly. I have a lot of her jewelry and this one is very disappointing.

It's a really uncomfortable ring if you don't have a lot of space between your fingers.On 2/4/2015 Lotus~ said:Hang in there from what I've read here there's a lot of nit picking going on.

I totally agree with you, blahblahvampemerblah... just such an ungainly ring. Mine was very loose fitting too, not sure it was true to the size that I ordered. Very uncomfortable on my finger, and I do have a lot of space between my fingers..
