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!

@idanyd I'm still waitlisted on the 12 carat ring!  It's my third consecutive time for waitlist for that ring.

This is so pretty @greeneyedgirl107 ! I wonder if @tsavorite has seen this thread lately?! She love all things gems too! 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Sunnysmom Thanks!  Now that I'm re-entering society after the pandemic, I'm getting back into jewelry.  I just love costume jewelry but hate that it can degrade so quickly.  So, I've been starting with QVC b/c I think their stuff lasts for significantly longer.  A heftier price tag, though, too.

[Sunnysmom]

So true @greeneyedgirl107 . I don’t think I wore anything for a bunch of years! Felt odd but also light and kind of freeing?! Lol I have been lately too tho. Gotta wear what we have!

Your ring is beautiful, @greeneyedgirl107 ! 🥰 Congratulations!  I can't wait to see the wait list one!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Titian06 thanks!!!  I'm really hoping it comes back in stock!  💍

I love unique, minimalistic jewelry. I have a big collection from different countries in the world. Share your favorite online stores, I always look for something special.

Mexican Fire Opal- looks like a rainbow running through it. Had to have it when I saw it. Currently planning to have a custom necklace made with it

[tsavorite]

@teufel ,

That's a gem!  Love it!

[ShortErica]

Very beautiful @teufel! Did you get it at a rock and gem show or somewhere else?

[teufel]

Got it at a gem and mineral show. Opals are my addiction. Husband snuck back and bought it later that day. I went back the next day to get it and it was gone. Was heartbroken until he gave it to me for our anniversary. Shouldn’t have been surprised.

We went a little crazy this Christmas and did some custom jewelry with the stones we've mined. Here's pictures of my two pieces:

Garnet (my birthstone) on the outer circle cradling the two sapphires (the twins) - all found in MontanaSimple wrapping of my opal triplet - found at the Spencer Opal Mine

My husband has an opal in gold tusks, my mom has a 4 sapphire necklace representing herself, me, and the twins and my mother-in-law got a matching opal necklace and earrings as well as a turquoise and sapphire pendant. I'll have to see if my husband has pictures so I can share those as well.
