In this picture you can see the person's finger through the stone quite clearly (obviously not as much as RC but much more so than other stones. Because the holiday pendant has the solid gold back the colour probably won't look the same, & I figure would be similar for the earrings, as the framework at the back would show through. I think this is what TGG means.

I understand, but I guess my point is that the bottom motifs against the jewelry tray are very blue. I imagine with the solid gold back the stones may actually look more blue than those in the double-sided necklace and bracelet motifs.

Thank you dear Stardust! My husband went and was shown quite a few pieces - none of them were bright red, they were either brown or orange, so we passed...
Attaching some pics, please excuse his hairy arm [emoji23]

I had an insanely good time at Harrods .... couldn’t stop laughing so the photo is a little blurry!

Great photo!
Curious, did Harrods have a turquoise bracelet, or are you lucky enough that it is your own bracelet ?
It is my own bracelet - I was trying to match the blue with other pieces but that was just not possible.Great photo!

Oh, you are so lucky to own it, looks beautiful on you
) yes it is a challenge nowadays but all pieces do look great on you !
Birks seems to be the last to know of any new stones and the news is always conflicting I find. I may get my sister to ask her SA at Yorkdale. I am not sure if I like the transparency of this stone, but I would definitely try it on and make my decision then
Thank you for the picture! This helps me so much with my decisions
You’re very welcome! I wish they made the alternating gold motifs with some other stone, carnelian is so hard to find in a brighter shade...
I remember they released Letterwood with alternating gold, and also malachite with alternating gold too when they first came out, limited though. That's why I was surprised this release is not a limited edition.
Kudos to a man who can do this for his wife and still walk with his head held high
@expatwife you've got a keeper
