Just been a Hedgehog fest on Rocks

[Julie]

Auctioned 7 on the trot

Barry says he will probably do it again later, may be of interest for anyone wanting to complete their set.

 

[Mrs James]

did he mention any baby ones , Julie ?

 

[perdita]

Were they all rings or were some hedgehog earrings auctioned too? I think I might quite like some earrings.

 

[Julie]

They all looked stonkers to me, no babies and no earrings.

Feeling broody after last night Mrs James? :54:

 

[Mrs James]

No that is it Miss magpie. We have requested for a multi gem one to Steve so hopefully we will see muti gem one in future!

 

[MissMagpie]

Thanks, BH!

I haven't actually got any hedgehogs, but would be tempted by a rose quartz or rhodolite garnet one...

 

[MissMagpie]

Update: I've just ordered one (amethyst)... Carried away by the craze, I think!

 

[Beading Belle]

Ooh I think they would look stunning in rose quartz and rhodolite garnet! Hopefully Steve/John/Sarah/Tony or katherine are reading this and we might see these in the near future!

 

[Beading Belle]

Well done you! MissMagpie if you like big look rings you will love it! I have posted pictures of the hedgehog rings if you want to have a look. Let us know what you think?

 

[MissMagpie]

Thanks, BH - I do like big rings as I have quite long fingers, so looking forward to seeing it!

 

[Sammi]

I feel sorry for anybody wanting a hedgie but unable financially to take advantage of a prickleflock of them on any evening! (wot is a group of hedgies called??)

 

[MissMagpie]

An array, Sammi - I Googled it. Seems appropriate for the rings, doesn't it?

 

[PearlyQueen]

You're close Sammi, it's a prickle of hedgehogs - no, really!!!
Good on yer MissM, hope you love it
I know what you mean about getting carried away on the bandwagon, I know I don't need one but I'm feeling a bit left out!
Actually, reminds me of the "Darls" pendant Gems did a while back - we ALL needed one of those lol

 

[sweetpea]

Please don't shout at me but I feel sorry for those people who don't want to see so many rings and I don't just mean the hedgehog ones.

Not sure if it's just me but rocks seems to be dominated by rings recently and considering most can't be resized more than a couple of sizes they're alienating a large part of their audience including me!!!!! :4:

That's a good point, Janey; but if you look at any sites selling jewellery, far and away the most common items seem to be rings. Don't know why; maybe they're popular because they can be seen by the wearer!

Given the choice, I'm a brooch person, and how many of those has Rocks had? - one! ever! (and I didn't even like that so I sent it back...) Why is it that brooches are apparently 2,000 times less popular than rings...?
