Very nice did you string the necklace yourself? I like how the re is a mix of leather and pearls. Gives the pearls a rocker vibe.
Kiwi looks yummy 😊

I love how your cabochon is set with a diamond on each side - simply elegant and your peony ring is sweet. Pair the peony ring with your red bangles and it's you 😉
Thank you ladies!! Ugh I'm so torn! The peony is more unique like you guys said. But I wonder if it is too "in your face"/cocktail-y for the office. On the other hand, the diamonds really catch my heart, but the cabochon is rounder in the video than it seemed to me in the photo. The seller said it is oval but it is thick (which is more desired she says) so it may seem jellybean like to me. I've asked her if it is easy to set cabochons in a setting like this in the future.
These are the other cabochon rings she showed me but I like the first cabochon setting best.
Tough choice. From just the sellers pics I definitely would choose the peony. It looks fun and pretty. On the hand the cab and diamonds looks so elegant and the size works perfectly. The peony is a wee bigger than I thought it would be whereas the cab and diamond suits the bigger size. I think it if were me I would still choose the peony but when I read your post about the cab taking your breath away it sounds like you have a preferenceGo with your heart.
Oops didn't see your post before. Ha I think it's definitely the diamonds that catch my breath.
A friend is telling me that she thinks both rings are too big for the office and they are both party rings. Do you guys think so? Not sure I want to get a ring for just special occasions.
She also thinks you can't tell it's a flower until you get close due to the light color. I feel like it's pretty obvious that it's a flower.
Thanks Red, that's helpful. I feel like your peony is more subdued and less cocktail-y, which is more wearable for normal occasions perhaps. Do you think? If I don't get it, maybe you should!!
Actually there are three diamonds on each side of the cabochon but it's still rather understated as the cabochon takes centre stage, as I think it ought to.
I do feel like they are both cocktail rings and also that it's quite obvious that it's a flower ring.
I really like the third ring with the baguettes! But I love Art Deco.
I got my darling monkey pendants today!
Really happy with this, I've put it on a chain with a Tiffany Paloma Picasso X pendant in rose gold and diamonds. The peach is so beautifully carved and I love rubbing the pendant for comfort!
So pretty against the light.
This one came on a black string necklace and I managed to put a silver bail on it that came with the first necklace. It's sooo cute.
It's very translucent!

These are from different sellers on eBay. I'll pm you the seller for the second pendant if you like. It's certified, too.
Let me know if you'd want the seller's contact info.
It's beautiful, but Art Deco/baguettes aren't my personal style.
It is obvious a flower to me too
I don't think either ring is too big for the office or anywhere for that matter. I would however keep the rest of the jewelry minimal and this is definitely a one ring on the hand only in my opinion. In fact I've always preferred the look of just one ring on each hand. Both make a bold statement. One is more feminine and sweet but the size of the flower gives it more of an edge if that makes sense. The other is pure elegance and opulence.
oh excuse me lol! Yes I can see there are three - at first it looked like a bigger diamond on each side.
