Hi all
Its my lastest load from Rocks. A few disappointing items and some lovely ones so a mixed bag really.
Large Mulitgem Pendant
I was so looking forward to this arriving. Firstly all I could see was bad goldwork around one of the garnets, stood right out to me. Then I saw the colour of the citrine which in my opinion is very poor. The one larger citrines has parts that are clear and not yellow at all. And the smaller stones look very pale and not yellow at all. Don't know if you can see from my photos because they seem to look better on the photos than they do IRL. Also the silver work seems to be covered in white powder?? Seems strange. Also the amethyst doesnt seem colour matched, one stone is significantly lighter, infact citrine are all diff shades too. I am so disappointed....do any of you with the same item have any of these issues??
Don't know if you can see on these?
Mother of Pearl earrings
These are very nice. But I am sure when I bought them, there were no black hearts on them, they were all white mother of pearl. I dont understand why they have some black hearts?? Still like them and keeping them however. Love me hearts
Lemon Quartz bracelet
I have the green amethyst version of this and loved it so much I just had to have this. The stone is an amazing colour. Think I even like this one better.
Abalone Earrings
Lovely. like the shell and the shape. Only thing, which I didnt realise until I was wearing them is that they dont have that catch on the post to stop the butterfly backs coming off. I hope you know what I mean lol
Tanzanite Ring
Now, I think the pic of this makes it look amazing. However IRL, when I opened the box I couldnt help being rather disappointed. It just doesnt seem like, well it doesnt have the wow factor that it should. The diamonds are tiny, even though I love the baguette shape. Not much sparkle or no fire either. The tanzy is an ok colour, no pink flashes but much deeper than my cheap ring I have. Its 18K white gold too, but it just doesnt feel the same quality as my other 18K rings do. Also a bit light on gold weight. Well it feels it anyway. So its going back.
Songea Ruby Earrings
These must be the best out of the bunch. Wow Wow Wow!!!!! The colour and clarity is amazing. You would not believe the red colour flashes you get even in poor light. I think these must be the best ruby ever!!! lol even though I have relatively little experience of ruby.
I have AAA Tanzanian Ruby from another channel I have put the earrings against it to compare. Although good, the colour of the earrings is much better and sparkle much better IMO.
Garnet Ring
I have this in multigem and its just lovely. The garnet is lighter than I expected, but still lovely.
I dont want to lose what I have written, so I will post this and add more of the other items. You see I have already lost my post once to mu compter crashing and I couldnt bear typing this out again!!!

I had a similar thing happen too with these flowery MOP earrings:
