Having just about exhausted Goldmark's stock of bling rings, I had to go further afield - struck gold (well gems at least lol) at Prouds where I found all these beauties, and all within my $50 limit. Took a bit of fossicking I can tell you, and several months of regular window shopping, scanning of their catalogues etc., but I'm thrilled to bits with what I found ♥
This "ruby" was most definitely the bargain of the bunch at $25. It's such a pretty pear shape, exceptionally feminine, and with the surrounding sparklers flashing so brilliantly, I'm chuffed to at last have something semi-real that I can wear with my red clobber...
Out of all my colourful bling rings, this would have to be my favourite - has every quality I want in a dress ring. Elegant styling, exquisite colour, not too flashy so that it looks fake, and fits my finger perfectly. I bought this at the same time as the ruby - it wasn't actually on special, but I fell instantly in love, and it just scraped in under budget (by 5 cents!). Absolutely adore this little honey ♥
And here's the closest thing to a Princess Di replica that I own - hard to believe but I've spent months trying to capture the stunning blue lights within the stone, and even this photo doesn't do it justice. I swear taking pictures of sparkly jewellery is 100 times more difficult than eye makeup or a flatlay! She's a beauty though. Oddly enough I went into Goldmark looking to see if they had anything blue - the ever so helpful shop assistant said she had nothing in stock, but directed me across the mall to Prouds as she'd seen one in the window. What a sweetheart ♥
Still a couple more to left in the vault to reveal, and I'm in the market for both a yellow and an orange stone ring to complete my rainbow bling collection - wish me luck!
Take care of you,

You'd get on great with my mum - she's obsessed with bling! She also had the tortuous search for the perfect 'orange stone' ring a few years back (I had to hear about it a LOT) - spooky!
ReplyDeleteShe's constantly waiting for parcel deliveries with her latest pretties (she buys most of hers online from stores in the US as they have more variety and the cost is decent).
Oh wow that IS spooky mayday - haven't investigated online bling stores yet. I must say I do like to try them on before I buy, but thanks for the tip ♡♡♡
DeleteOHHHHH WOW!! These are just gorgeous. Well done - you will so love wearing these. Great purchases!!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Trish.
Thanks Trish darling - these are my "treats" for the long hours I work, and I do love them so ♥ Now I just have to fade some of the brown spots on my hands so they don't detract from the bling glamour - this beauty caper is endless lol xxx
DeleteThis is what I like: bold, bright COLOURS! I get it in nail colours, but I still love looking at the shiny pretties! :)
ReplyDeleteLol neurotic - yes we're two of a kind when it comes to loving bold hues hey ♥ I don't get time to paint my nails so thank goodness someone makes coloured bling!
