Thought you might like to see what was in my delivery today...
All in all, a pretty good one. Even the earrings were only packed in ONE plastic bag which enabled much better viewing. I ordered two pairs of earrings - green tourmaline white gold (but these are going back as they are smaller than I expected and have windows) and silver smoky quartz (these are also going back because I can see under a loupe that the facets are chipped on one earring and I think will fall out of the setting quite quickly as the prongs hardly touch the stones).
The rings however are an entirely different kettle of fish!
It's not often, in fact hardly ever, that I open a box and go WOW! I was lucky enough to be one of the 9, I think it was, on Sunday who won this 9ct white gold amethyst ring in their Solitaires hour. It's set quite high and is quite heavy so slips a bit on my finger but I will be keeping it as it's gorgeous.
The Mandarin Garnet 9ct white gold ring I got in the clearance. I'd looked at it before but not bothered getting it, but I'm glad I've got it now as it's a stunning colour.
The Citrine, which is also white gold, was from a web game. This is lovely, very clear stones.
Definitely three keepers here!
