Thanks! I think I deserve an excellent gift by my birthday. (I know he won't be doing much shopping for the winter holidays)

Two Xmases ago Dude had his big old kidney stone issues (requiring surgery between Thanksgiving and Christmas). He was in no shape to shop, so I got myself a lovely necklace with a single emerald (lab created, tho, lol) from him to me! lol

That's a thought. Dragging DH to trunk show from one of our favorite jewelry artists, Victoria Varga. I think he should participate, if possible, in whatever trinket I'm feeling calling to me (I returned earrings that we ordered to go with a bracelet he'd gotten me, and well, have to use the store credit, so....)

I have a bunch of the silver and onyx First gifts from then DB - a pair of earring I was going to buy, and he decided to get the hefty bracelet to go with. He then followed up with choker necklace, and long necklace - the funky onyx pieces. Then for anniversary this July - got a colored curvy linked bracelet - the one for which we ordered earrings but they just didn't show up well with my hair (got the red swirly with silver). So, we're off to see - it's hard to catch more than a few pieces at any shop. Oh, for the locals - the trunk show is at Appalachian Spring in Reston.
