Shout Out to Funky-Thank You

last year

Funky, thank you so much for recommending Riverstone Jewelry. I received my order yesteday, and I love it all. I ordered two bracelets and some earrings for myself as well as a necklace for a gift. It‘s all gorgeous, and the personal note from Jill was so nice.

Isn’t it great? I have ordered, too, and got the nice note.

PS I just spent the weekend at Kripalu in the Berkshires (MA) and they had Riverstone jewelry in the gift shop!

Oh I am soooo glad you like them, @texanjane! I'd love to see a photo if you are willing to share!

I have been wearing Riverstone for over 5 years but I didn't have any bracelets-- only necklaces. Well, until the last few weeks.. as of Saturday, I have 6 to mix and match.

Beware, they are addictive! I won't even tell you how many necklaces I own. It would be embarrassing-- but I do wear most of them! The only ones I regret are my first purchases-- the "uber" length necklaces. I just don't reach for them and may have her restring them for me.

@Sueb20 how cool that you saw them at Kripalu (and how cool that you got to spend a weekend there again!). One of their largest retail stores is only 10 min from my house--that does not help with my self control! I have also bought from Jill directly.. she has customized pieces for me and she even offered to send a bunch of bracelets for me to choose from and return the rest!

They also sell a couple of styles on Sundance.

I'm tired here as I was up too late again... but, I just noticed this thread and had to comment. Yes, it's a whole lot of work that totally was noticed by us. We appreciate all our valuable seeds from this big swap. This was my first "want list" swap ever, so I learned a lot, had a ball of fun, got to know better or for the first time a whole lot of wonderful participants and a wonderful HOST and co-host, AND got some treasured seeds as well along with some surprises I can't wait to grow out. I appreciate that you put every waking moment outside of working and family have to's into this swap. Thank you! Blessings, Angela

Sue, I don't mean you intended to wear it to your party but you mentioned it when you were dress shopping for your party I think. Or maybe it was when you were going on one of your trips last year? I know it was last year sometime that you mentioned it...I think you even mentioned that you might (or did) buy a second one as back up in case something ever happened to the first one b/c you loved it so much. Anyway, when I looked up the dress when you mentioned it, it looked like the perfect cut for my figure and I wear casual dresses a lot in the late spring/summer for things like meeting friends for drinks, special, yet casual events at my kids' school (Catholic school so lots of Masses/prayer services at the end of the school year), etc. did you find it runs true to size? I was planning to order a medium b/c I don't want it tight at my midsection but it says medium is an 8/10 and I'm closer to a 6 or 8. I will probably order it in both sizes but thought you might have some insight.

Fortunately for my wallet, they were displayed in a locked glass case and I didn’t feel like asking the cashier to open it for me. Plus I had bought two new pieces of jewelry the week before in NOLA, so…

ETA Kripalu also had a display of this jewelry, which was very pretty. Again, I resisted, but here I am perusing their web site.

That‘s very cool Sue. I thought some of the Sundance ones looked very similar, Funky. I have a feeling these will not be my last purchases.

Here are pics of mine. I already wrapped the necklace, but I attached a pic of it from the website. It‘s for my bestie’s milestone birthday this week. I think she will love it.

Oh I love the apatite necklace! It is an unusual stone with a lot of meaning and (if you believe in such things) a lot of physical and psychological benefits. Perfect for a milestone gift.

And this is too funny-- of all the thousands of designs + one-of-a-kind designs, I selected the same bracelet with the raw ruby that you did for a gift for my sister!

Pardon the crappy photo-- I just took it for my records. The black one is for my nephew.

@Sueb20 a different store here in town has been posting videos of all their new Rene Escobar bracelets. I so want to go try one on but I think I need to wait until after the holidays ... if I try one on, I don't think I'll be able to take it off! They also have a limited selection of Satya -- I love them too. I love all the pretty things!

Do any of you have one of the Riverstone bracelets with the metal "bar-bead", and if so is it comfortable? Also, are these pieces packaged with any inspirational messaging that might be a little something extra if you're giving one as a gift?

Yes-- three of my bracelets have the bar bead. I don't have any issues. The arc is perfect for me but I have large bones. I wear mine with the bar on the bottom but my friends at the boutique and my sister wear theirs on top (they all stack them with multiple bracelets). I took a few quick photos so you can see how it lays on my wrist (which again-- is big)

I know @Sueb20 is more petite than I am and I think she has one with a bar bead also-- so maybe wait for her response?

I prefer all beads -- but the silver bar is very pretty also.

I will also say that my absolute favorites are the longer chains with magnetic clasps that can be worn as a necklace or wrapped and worn as a bracelet. They don't wrap well on my big ol wrists but they look great on others. I wear them as necklaces.

ETA .. no inspirational notes. Some of the listings include details on the stones and their meaning and "powers".. and some include the inspiration for the design. I have copied some of them into my own personal notes.

My little silver one above has the bar. It’s fine on my wrist, but my wrists are very small. I think it might be tight on someone larger. The other one of mine is looser.

That‘s so funny, Funky! I cannot wait to wear my bracelets this week.

I wore my bracelet today! No issues with comfort. I have small wrists. They are the only dainty thing about me.
