First, the returns:
Citrine octagon ring was for my friend. She changed her mind. Was tempted to keep it, but citrine isn't really my thing. Lovely though.
Yellow & white diamond ring - how disappointing this was. I paid £180 and have lusted after it since week one, but it doesn't do anything for me in real life. In fairness, under spotlights, the diamonds dance and twinkle and it's very pretty. But the design which was what so excited me has far too much open space on it for my taste. Shame really, it's actually an L and I could wear it without resizing!
Also returned the mother of pearl & amethyst earrings UA349, again too small for my taste, forgot to do a pic before I posted them!
Now the keepers!
Excuse the rubbish pic, the rings are silver, the pearls are white! All my daylight pics came out fuzzy, so I just quickly did another. This is a very stylish design, really like it.
This is very pretty indeed - a bit long, but I'll wear it further up my arm. The marcasite is twinkly and the MOP is colourful and lustrous. A bargain price too. It's actually gone back for replacement as the stone has a huge lump of glue all over the back though. And the chain didn't quite sit nicely at one side, so I'm hoping the new one will be a little better.
Oops, I bought another pearly watch. These pearls are very big, round and white, and the watch part is so fine and pretty I love it.
Gorgeous gorgeous colours in this with lots of movement. A bit pricey, but I adore it and I can't send it back!
I was a little disappointed with this one when I opened it - in my head the amethysts were bigger and darker! However my friend immediately said how fab it was and once I reassessed it with more objective eyes I agreed. I do love this design, I have the mystic too.
And now my biggest Rocks extravagance! I really thought this would be too small for my taste and maybe the diamonds would be rubbish, but actually I love it. Fell for it the moment I opened the box and it's looked good in every lighting condition. I've figured out why diamonds don't photograph well - they only twinkle properly when they're moving, a video would be better! Hence a few pics to give you a better idea. (Sorry, should have said it's the square one on my middle finger!) The diamonds are very white, and it sparkles like mad. But it's soaked up the last of my finances, so although I have a couple of things in my basket, they will have to wait a few days and will be an end of the Rocks shopping for a while.
I'm poor but happy!
