Help!

With the assistance of the redoubtable Katkinn :kiss: I now have a shortlist of 3 outfits to wear next Saturday to my "up" wedding drinks do.

Fave number 1 is white capri pants (purchased today :clap:) with the lime top you saw - which has large square diamantes on the neckline, then my lime and lavender kitten heel mules and matching handbag.

Now I need some seriously blingy earrings. I already have real diamonds (round) that are about 1.5 carats, so I don't want studs. What I need is a long pendant of three or four large square cut diamantes (clearly the real thing is out of the question! :shock: ).

Anyone seen anything anywhere?

I looked in Debenhams today and there wasn't a thing.

Thanks all!

Minky

Ahh, what you need is QVC diamonique earrings. The quality is really good and they have a huge selection, have a look here:

These (http://www.pink-paisley.com/detail.aspx?ID=64) have a lovely square shape.

I think the top and capri pants sound fabby!!!! I am just not so sure about the shoes.:oops: I think white or white & silver or silver strappy shoes would maybe look better. Maybe I just need to see a piccie of them!!! :wink: I think they may detract attention away from the fab top and the earrings!

Well, maybe they are more like 1.2 Spacey! Remember though that the quality of diamonds for earrings is much less than for rings and therefore they are not that expensive! :thumb:

PS Mr Minky bought them for me! :girllove:

These (http://www.silver.uk.com/index.asp?ID=6&LST=1&DTL=1507&CA=5&TH=0&KWS=&PC=&SZ=) may be a bit too small?

I am just not so sure about the shoes.:oops:

:happyno: no, the shoes are absolutely fantabulous with matching bag and are PERFECT with the top and wee capri pants. :thumb:

I haven't had a chance to have a look at the QVC ones but I know their costume jewellery is normally ace!

Yep, the first ones are great! Will decide between them and some QVC ones and hopefully they can be here by Friday next week.

Ooh the QVC earrings are lovely - so wish I hadn't seen that site!

Perhaps I can find a replacement for my 1 carat studs that I have lost :oops: and haven't told OH about yet :oops:

They really are lovely chicky (and I did have a look through your classifieds before I posted) but they really aren't what I'm after this time. Thanks so much for taking the time...
