Ok so.... you ladies are very very bad influences.

I have bought TWO sparkly items and they're both now in the mail!!

Sparkle 1. 1.5 ctw platinum Martini studs from MoissaniteCo
Sparkle 2. BTD alexandrite Asscher with cz traps ring in white gold (from chpwhy on the Bistro)

I just got the email that my earrings have shipped (woo hoo!!)

chpwhy shipped my ring yesterday from Singapore.

Bets on which will come first? Either way, they'll both get here in time for the excuse: my 30th birthday.

And, of course, there will be lots of pics!!

Yay, more stuff to ogle in the future. JuBe, that is just the BEGINNING!

Ok!! Guess who won: my EARRINGS. They are DTF. I'm in love!

Just after I got these, another delivery man came in, and my heart skipped a beat because I thought maybe my two sparklies might have tied the race!! But no, it was a boring work document. Waiting impatiently for my ring now...

I'm so glad I got the locking backs, they really do work, and I feel as safe as houses that these will not suffer the fate of so many of my earrings over the years, and be lost because the backs have fallen off.

Photos when I get home from the office. YAY!

Haha just got busted by a colleague checking myself (my earrings!) out in the mirror. Can't help staring! The SPARKLE!!

Grats on the new sparklies. Pics ! Must have pics!!

ROTF!!! A sparklie race! Gotta love it. Hmmmm. Mebbe I'd better have a sparklie race. It's about time for a li'l sumpin'-sumpin' sparklie...

Congrats on your earrings and the runner-up! Looking forward to seeing photos.

I can't wait to see pictures of both!

I love your avatar picture. Is there some light pink in there or am I crazy?

Oh god, another delivery man just arrived, but not for me; this is killing me!!

Ginger, right you are! This is my avatar ring. In the "need to have but can't quite justify" category at the moment. It would be my dream engagement ring with BTD Kashmir sapphire side stones. Mmmmmmmmmmmm

Be still, my heart ... it's HERE! The ring is gorgeous but will be off for a visit to the jeweller for resizing as soon as I've got some pics for you all later!

But - the original owner put some pics in this thread - which I hope she doesn't mind me sharing.

I am one happy camper - who wouldn't be, after such a sparkly day!!

I don't know how a day could get any better than that, JuBe. Have fun with your shiny new toys!

I was thinking as I was reading that this could be a drinking game. Every time a delivery person shows up and it's not for you, you have to down a shot.
