Restrictr I've been waiting to hear from you about this!!


The sale runs through tomorrow at Soiffer Haskin. I was out of town this weekend so I hadn't had a chance to stop in so naturally it was the first thing I did when I got back to the city today! A few little surprises to come later... First need to shower off the crazy winter rainstorm.

Just a note... my favorite TSC piece had been this lion ring:

so I was really excited to see it there (not to be seen last year) but in person it felt a like a man's signet ring so it was a no go, which was kind of sad, but I did not go home empty handed so no complaints!

Oh wow, I'm excited to see what you got!! I'm been into vintage lalaounis and zolotas lately (thanks to perusing sites like beladora and other estate websites) and love ring designs like that. What a shame it didn't look good on!! But i can't wait for your reveals :)

So usually I dislike eternity bands. I've had a heck of a time with diamond ones while trying to find a wedding band I like and usually opt for half-eternities. Somehow this fits me really comfortably and I've been all about rose-cuts for awhile (I wanted diamonds) but there's something really subtle in this blue and I'm in love. Sorry if the camera phone doesn't capture it all.

I think the color is closest to this:

Infinity earrings are next:

Except mine seem to have diamond details at the clasp which I much prefer!

I can't wait to wear these to my wedding abroad this summer. I think the YG will go with the whole look and I like the meaning behind the "infinity" loop. Not to mention they are sort of subtle and easy to wear casually. The clasp is also very comfortable (unlike VCA clips!) which was important to me.

Lastly, a pair of yellow pearls with diamond details. These were the priciest but they are worth every penny. They're going to be my thank you present to my mom and I want to give them to her at my bridal shower this spring. They're the smallest size they had (you can see compared to my finger) because my mom's a teeny person. They had large white pearls (which I was told aren't as valuable) and larger yellow pearls.

I'm pretty sure my mom has no idea what TSC is but we were at the Saks in DC last spring and she said "If I had to pick something at this counter, these would be it!" - she really may have no memory of it but I hope she likes these. No returns!

wow lubird I love everything! the ring is my favorite though the colour of it is beautiful, is it a cornflower blue colour?
Click to expand...

Yeah, I'd say cornflower blue is a pretty spot-on description of it! If you click on the link to TSC's site on the ring post I'd say it's very much that color of the picture IRL.

I love that ring and I'm so happy I get to share it here!
