Thank you, @Sammycat1.   Enjoy your vintage Ripka sun items. Gosh, how I miss the Ripka jewelry and QVC Ripka shows of old, and I miss anticipating all of her visits, too. Designers like Judith don't come around very often, and I truly loved (and still love) her work. I wonder how I could have missed those sun pieces.  Hmmmmm... perhaps it was because you purchased them first and beat me to them?  I will just have to wonder...

I know what you mean...I really enjoyed the Ripka shows, too. I have a sun charm (came on bracelet) and two sun enhancers. They're old as the hills!

@Sammycat1 Those old Ripka hills are quite beautiful, as I recall. I think that tomorrow is going to be a hardcore Ripka day for me!  It's about that time--- once again.

Tomorrow might be a Ripka day for me too. It's going to be a sunny day and I'm in the mood to strap in some sparkle!

@Sammycat1 - Today, I am wearing Judith's rose quartz heart/pink tourmaline ring (the pink version of her Smithsonian blue topaz heart/blue diamond ring), her little sister twisted cuff, and two necklaces ( a 16" small pink rhodolite truffle necklace nested inside of a JR 18" rose quartz beaded necklace and its pink MOP heart enhancer dangling from the clasp).  It is nice to be back wearing Ripka.  It made me feel good today.

I'm glad you found two pieces that you really love and that make you smile. Why ot wear them together? Give a try to see if you like it or not. Enjoy your new pieces!

@Remar - I just might try them together.  I got to see the presentation the next morning watching the video, and they didn't look bad together on air on the host. Over the years, I collected silver chains (from Indonesia, primarily) to use with pendants and enhancers, so it will be nice to experiment with different lengths of chains paired with this larger enhancer-- and the sun ring. 

 

Thank you for your kind words.  Kindness is a rarity these days.
