The flat directly next to ours was robbered the other night. Got away with cash and about 200k usd of jewellery. Without giving much details it sounds like it was a ‘smash and grab’ scenario. Good reminder to lock your stuff up.

OMG that’s horrible. Glad you are safe. Yes it’s important to secure jewelry when not wearing it.

That’s terrible! I hope you are okay. It’s a good reminder why 99% of my jewelry is at the bank. The downside is I rarely wear them because it’s a pain to take them out and then put them back in the bank safe deposit box but the upside is they are at least safe.

The blue agate would go beautifully with your lapis ring. Even if different shade. I wear my lapis bracelet with my blue agate necklace all the time. They are not exactly same but similar enough average person thinks they are same stone. I also love blue with a nautical theme. It would suit your style well.

Dear Ms. Lynne,
You know you cannot just casually state you have both lapis and blue agate without sharing... a modshot!
And yes to the nautical striped theme!

I am so sorry to hear about your neighbors, and I hope they were not hurt.

I'd seriously never wear mine if I had to go to the bank to get it! I do keep mine in multiple locations in my home so that it would be unlikely for it all to be taken, though.

@lynne_ross That's very scary. You stay safe!

I believe I posted once a pic when I was trying on noeud ring. Here is a picture of the lapis and noeud and 2 more to show the beautiful gold on my favourite lapis motif.

I hope they are okay. Am glad it wasn’t you! Pls stay safe!

On a lighter note, I adore the Noeud ring on you, but perhaps it’s that you have gorgeous hands!

That ring needs to be yours if it isn’t already. You wear it beautifully!

This is where I keep my diamonds. They are insured but there’s no way I’d keep them at home or take them traveling. Some are not replaceable.

It's beautiful! The lapis looks so much like blue agate, but on a deeper more intense level. I love your Noeud! Such a stunning ring.

I have never been interested in lapis until recently with the Hellebore ring. My "blue" stone has always been blue sapphires. However, after seeing Hellebore, an intense opaque blue stone such as lapis or blue agate is different than a sparkly faceted one such as sapphire. Lapis and blue agate seem to be speaking to me now. I wonder if VCA will do a SO WG lapis set (only lapis, not alternating). I have always dismissed lapis (and blue agate); now I need to search threads and read up on lapis options!

Your lapis is beautiful as is the ring! I vote get the ring next! It's stunning on you, looks so gorgeous on those beautiful hands.
