My goody bag arrived yesterday and here's what it contained.

Just the ring from this picture NOT the earrings!
I love the ring, adore it. Great pearl with excellent nacre, and a solid contempory setting.
If you're wondering about the earrings they are (very expensive) Melissa McArthur - I've included them in the picture to show how well they match the ring, and therefore what a great price the Rocks pearls are.

Now the not so good news............

I've wanted this ring since the Coloured Rocks website was first set up, & was delighted to win in at the weekend (only 10% less than the CR price but I thought that was OK)
It's just not what I was expecting though, the diamonds just don't sing and there's little contrast between the black and blue in many lights. If you've seen Anne C's picture, it doesn't quite look like the same ring (the claws somehow seem to be more noticeable in mine). The gold weight is a little light as well. especially for diamonds:( Going back

Scribbler ring in garnet. This was the size M ring that I mentioned yesterday, the one that doesn't fit. It's the second scribber ring I've had that has come up small. I don't want to pay for resizing (would cost more than the ring did!) so it's going back. Good solid mount and a pretty stone though.

This one I'm undecided about. It just doesn't quite work for me (as mentioned in other threads, maybe better in a coloured stone) Might keep it though as I don't want to send too much back. (don't want a Rocks version of the infamous QVC 'letter'!!!) I do like the cut, and would love to see it in a bigger size.




So a mixed bag all in all, but I've already mentally spent the money & the refund's already earmarked for something else............

Shame Jantac that you have so many returns, but you have to feel happy with the items. I'm waiting for a rather (too) large delivery, which includes the 'pale' tanzanite cluster ring. I have a feeling that might be going back as well.
 
Wow, those pearls are a perfect match, dare I say they're sensational? Shame about the black and blue diamond ring. I saw one go to air and it looked a much better contrast, the blue diamonds were definitely blue. Is it worth asking Tony or Katherine if they can find a better one for you?

lol and thanks

I won't try to replace the blue & black diamond ring - you know how the edge goes off the excitement if the first one's not what you were expecting? Unless of course one comes up in an auction and is going for a silly price - well you never know!
 
Sorry to hear your blue & black diamond ring was disappointing Jantac and that you are having to send a few items back.

I'm sending a few items back today (feel guilty as hell) - so was wondering about a Rocks "letter" as well! :blink

But did receive the prettiest bracelet today which I am absolutely delighted with. :biggrin
 
Hi jantac. Have pm'ed you. I am pleased now that I did not bid higher for the blue and black diamond ring! Shame it did not rock your boat as it looks stunning on Anne C. i have the peal ring and I agree its stunning. I have two more russet pearl rings coming tomorrow :rolleyes: I agree regarding the pendant - a bigger gem size would make it look better. I have rings in that cut and get lots of compliments. Look forward to seeing your new haul soon :D
 
I have the same pearl ring Jantac and it is gorgeous!!! I love it!! :clap:

I think the flower cut is lovely with coloured stones, mum got the amethyst earrings and they are gorgeous.
 
Fabulous match with your pearl ring and earrings Jantac.....in layman's terms.....they all have a lovely sheen. :)

Sorry about the other items, particularly the blue/black diamond ring. I too had noticed it earlier on the CR website and thought it looked very nice. However I have tried another couple of diamond rings and have returned them, being rather underwhelmed with their quality. :eek:
 
I also had the clear flower cut pendant mine is really pretty but smaller than i was expecting ,but i decided to hang on to it as i have quite a few young nieces so one of them will probably get it but for me it would be to small I'm sorry to that your disappointed with the black and blue diamonds they did look lovely on screen I just recieved the black and white diamond round swirl ring today and was blown away by it
It's much bigger than i dared hope and very sparkly maybe you could try and get one of these i had a bargain it was only £72 not sure what it was on c/r before
 
Thanks all for your comments - it's so lovely to have friends to discuss jewellery with.

I showed the ring to Miss Jantac & said that it was going back, and she gave the usual teenagers response of 'yeah............whatever'

I showed the ring to Mr Jantac and he said 'how much? send it back'

I showed the ring to Jantac Jr and he said 'that's very nice mummy - can I go on the X box'

You lot keep me sane sometimes! (and skint lol)
 
So sorry your ring has disappointed you Jantac, I feel guilty now.
Have you checked it out in different lighting though? Mine comes alive in spotlighting, that's how the pic I posted was taken.
Love your other rings, very pretty. The pendant is far too small for my taste - I have the cut as a green amethyst ring and I like it a lot (at least I do at the bargain price I paid!).
Sorry again re the diamond ring though:eek:

Don't be daft! - I can't resist the lure of blue diamonds (to misquote a book by a certain Mr Bennett) and was watching out for the ring anyway:)

I did try it out in different lights, it had a trip round Bluewater's sparkly spotlights, they just weren't shiny diamonds.

The refund is going towards something that I've been stalking on QVC so watch this space...............

Thanks hun, feel better now! Hmmm, can't wait to find out what you're getting with the money!
 
lol @ Jantac's family - total disinterest here too except in the amount of money being spent. given that we don't smoke, go on pub crawls, go on nice holidays anymore or even out for an occasional meal together, wot else is a girl to do to keep her spirits up??? show & tell goodies with her girlfriends, that's what lol.

adore that pearl ring in your first photo - sleek, clean lines and a glorious pearl. how nice it matches your earrings so well and you can feel "together" when you team them up.

am disappointed for you about the black/blue diamond ring. Tony showed me one when we visited and I was blown away by how pretty and sparkly it was. Sounds like you got a slightly duff one for some reason - surprising given what limited numbers Rocks currently produce of each item. It's worth highlighting the matter with Tony in case he can sort it for you as he hates having unsatisfied customers.

as for QVC Jantac - naughty naughty girl!!!! I'll say one word to you hun: Basso!
 
Hey ho Jantac, that's the 'beauty' of shopping tv/internet shopping, you win some you lose some. At least you can return them without too much hassle. Ring sizes - I bought a russet pearl ring and pink topaz ring (for Mum) and I don't think they are a size N as I'm an L and they fit me perfectly, which suits me fine, but obviously is a nuisance to others.
:doggie:
