I put a verbal reserve down with Nicola for a size M (to be resized to K 1/2) Meena in gold. She said it will be available during the beginning of November.
Let’s seeeee...
when I asked Nicola to reserve a ring for me, she said it would arrive soon...and that was back in (the last week of) september.
Well...let's see what happens next week

Earrings now available on Lisa's website. Love dangling earrings, and these aren't too long for everyday.
Well spotted! They haven’t even been announced on social media yet. I think they’re beautiful but I don’t wear drop earrings frequently enough to justify the price. Surprising that there are none in silver, wonder why.

Nicola just sent me an invoice for my reserve order today.
Which one are you getting? I got the YG gold oval Meena.
Hello Silver Horizon
First time on here.
I reserved a Kate oval a few months ago, saw the restock and thought I'd been missed so emailed them yesterday.....they replied pretty much straight away saying that they were contacting customers about reservations. Might be worth giving them an email to check! xoxo
Such a stunning ring. So worth the wait, I'm sure. Since I spent all my $ on black Friday, it'll be a while before I can get one. Btw, is it better to pay in GBP or USD for us in US?

Hey ladies with LE rings!
I was inspecting my ring today and are your “ring bases” more tapered than the rest of the body? I had mine resized from a larger size down to smaller size (Nicola said that is to prevent stretching the metal), so I’m wondering why this area doesn’t have the same thickness as the rest of the ring.
See pic. Thanks!

As promised The Meena in silver. What a lovely ring and goes so perfect with my summer tan
I definitely want more now!
View attachment 4177859 View attachment 4177858 The courier has just dropped it back—all wrapped up in paper with the Lisa Eldridge stickers again which i thought was a lovely touch! Here’s some pictures in case useful, including the profile so that you can see the setting in detail. Only wish my farmer’s hands did it justice
Well, finally got mine! I ended up getting the oval Meena (citrine) in gold. It's lovely, and I'm very happy with it.
The quality of it is quite amazing. Thanks to a grandmother and mom who loved rings, I have a vast, massive collection, from the low end to the high end. This ring definitely rivals some of my fancier pieces.
The cut is very interesting. I do have a few "older cut" rings (rose cut, old-mine cut, as well as early European cut). The Meena manages to have the subdued shine of some of those earlier cuts, but is still much more sparkly than those cuts at the same time. Definitely not as "blingy" as a brilliant cut or some of the modern cuts. Also, if you stare straight down you CAN see your own skin, much as some rose cuts allow you to do. In fact, that's evident from her own website photos as well as many of the instagram photos of women taking their glamour shots with their ring after they get it. I don't mind that effect at all, but just keep that in mind because that's a personal preference thing and some people don't like it.
Being a jewelry nerd, I do actually own a 30x loupe.
Ah, the price. I wrestled a long time with it because it's very expensive, especially when you consider the citrines on etsy are not that expensive. But in the end, I'm happy I saved up and splurged because it's a very high quality citrine and just a beautifully cut stone set very well. I justified the price in my head because she ships free (it arrived Monday in San Francisco after she shipped it Friday in London) and Lisa pays for customs. Plus, I think when every person along the chain of production is paid a decent wage and you support your local businesses as much as you can, this is the price you end up with.
The picture was taken during the day, in a sunny room, but not directly in the sun. It's actually more pretty in person, I could not capture the sparkle of it nor the depth of color. As some reading would know, jewelry photography is actually quite tricky.
Yes mine looks like this at the base too. I think it’s part of the design.
