CRYSTALS, GEMS AND JEWELRY

[veronika23]

I know a few of us share a passion for crystals and jewelry as well as makeup so thought I would start a thread on this. Share your stash, finds, whatever!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Mcakes Love them!  Thanks for sharing!  I haven't been to a gem and mineral show in about 20 years!

[greeneyedgirl107]

Here are some pieces I'm currently obsessed with:

Cartier necklace

Fabrege eggs

Turbans for fashion

[RebeccaBT]

@greeneyedgirl107 Cartier never disappoints! Thanks for sharing 🙂

[Titian06]

@greeneyedgirl107 - I've been a fan of Fabrege eggs forever!  A local artist well known for her Ukrainian eggs said unequivocally that "the egg came first!"

[Titian06]

@greeneyedgirl107 - lol!  Thanks for the picture!  Titian is the name of one of my past cats.  She passed away in 2005, but I missed typed and put "06."  I named her after the Renaissance period artist who was well known for using a particular color that became known as Titian.  I believe it's now called Burnt Sienna.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Titian06 That's a great quote - love it!  And here's a pic of the girl with the Titian hair, Rita Hayworth!  I DVR'd Gilda but haven't gotten around to watching it yet!

I'm sure you've heard that she said men went to bed with Gilda, but woke up with Rita Hayworth!

I know a lot of you ladies love Disney - this combines Disney and jewels!

[greeneyedgirl107]

Love this look!

@veronika23 Speaking of 80s, do you remember these crystals:

The Dark Crystal

The Ewok Adventure (renamed Caravan of Courage)

The Monster Squad 

Out of this World

[veronika23]

Ewok yes the rest not so much... I mostly watched French shows 😄

[greeneyedgirl107]

@veronika23 If you like campy 80s movies, then I highly recommend The Monster Squad - it's one of my favorites.  The Dark Crystal fascinated me as a child, but obviously as an adult it was lacking for me.  I'm not familiar with French shows, but I hope they had crystals!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@veronika23 Was anyone else obsessed with this look from "The Neverending Story" as worn by the empress?

[darkiceis]

@greeneyedgirl107 I remember being in complete awe when I saw her for the first time. I thought that she was the prettiest girl and loved her look.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@darkiceis I felt the same way!!!  

And here's the magic vial!

[lmi82]

YES!

[veronika23]

@greeneyedgirl107  OMG yes!!!! My childhood right there 😄

Same!!!!!   @Beadshopgirl

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Beadshopgirl I'm obsessed with geodes, too!  I used to have quite the collection - my dad would get me all sorts when he went on business trips.  I am loving all the geode books ends and agate artwork these days.

[veronika23]

Wow! But yeah the cleaning lol

Did you guys see this quartz tub?

[darkiceis]

Wow... I just want to sit in it with a mermaid tail.
