Being a purple fanatic, I'm forever checking out what's available bling-wise, and here are a few more little treasures I've picked up from Goldmark over the last 6 months. From memory, these were all under $30, and therefore 100% guilt-free lol. This first one is such a pretty colour - actually, to be honest, I don't have it any more! A week after I bought it I wore it when visiting my parents, and my Mum loved it so much (and I mean REALLY loved it), and it looked gorgeous on her hand, so I figured it was meant for her. She's mad keen on purple too (I wonder if colour-love is hereditary?) and it matches a few of her outfits perfectly. A couple more and she'll be a bling-babe too ♥
Not the best photo of purchase #2 (it's so much prettier in real life) - this was my replacement for the one that's now on Mama's finger. It's way more of a pinky-violet hue, but I tend to wear this shade more often than true purple, so it all worked out just right. Nowhere near as blingy as #1, but I love the square shape, it looks almost quietly elegant on my hand, and it does have a couple of subtle sparklers either side of the main stone. The raised setting has a delicate filigree design on two sides, and it only set me back $19.95 ♥
And here is my most recent addition - this gem is fit for a princess! Sadly my camera isn't able to capture the beauty of it's cut, colour and gleam - half-way between purple and violet, it seems to suit my skintone the best of all, and the surrounding diamantes catch the light brilliantly. There's more silver in the setting too so it's heavier - built to last I'd say. This is my current fave, and the one I wear most often...
I have a few more up my sleeve (or rather in my jewel box) so there'll be more bling posts up soon ♥
Take care of you,

I share your love of purple and bling! I especially love the two truer purple rings photographed above!
ReplyDeleteYay Ingrid! Even better when they're combined hey ♥
DeleteI love them all! Number 1 is my fave, lucky Mama to have such a generous daughter!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm the lucky one hon - she was so happy, and I love making her smile ♥
DeleteI'm loving the purpleness. Your mother scored well!
ReplyDeleteI think there is something genetic to colour preference: my mother, sister & one of my nieces all resemble one another & they're all keen on everything blue. I don't have any fights over purple or red. :)
How interesting! Well I reckon there's something to it neurotic xxx
DeleteJust beautiful, Kats and so lovely of you to give the ring to your Mum. My elder Granddaughter and I both love purple!! Wonderful choices but especially so because of the guilt free component!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Trish.
Trish darling, I'm getting so much better at the "guilt-free" thingy - there was a time I wouldn't dream of buying little treats like this for myself, but I'm making up for lost time ha ha! Dee-lighted your a purple fan, and that your granddaughter is carrying on the tradition - love and hugs to you ♥♥♥
DeleteWell I know that ring would look beautiful on your mum kats :-) Love all the jewellery. I wonder where my purple ring went went now........must have lost in the move from my mums years ago. Can never enough purple. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt sure does Mandy, and to see her eyes light up was such a treat ♥ Boo that you misplaced your ring hon - moving is a pain in that regard, I'm STILL looking for things that went astray back in April ♥x♥
