Just a heads up about Ring Concierge. I ordered their lab grown diamond studs, which they said would be F Color quality. Something seemed off so I had an independent GIA gemologist do an appraisal. Turns out they were I-J Color, not F, and appraised around $900 less than the RC price of $2,319. Trust has been broken--RC also sent me their generic appraisal which turned out to be false.

Hi Lori, Oh wow. I'm so sorry to hear this. My trust would be broken too and now I'm curious about mine.

I saw a picture of a ‘knife bag’ - the bags that chefs legit use to store and schlep. The original east-west. My handyman uses one for tools. I think he got it at Home Depot. 😉.

So glad you mentioned the Freja bag. Ive been trying to justify the Khaite Simona.. I saw Whitney port post a reel recently with an east west bag, and could not tell what it was. Google image brought up the Freja bags. I’d never heard of them so I’m awaiting one for research purposes 🙃

Ah no way. I'm not curious about this reel and have to go find it. Thanks for sharing! I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the Freja and will update once I do.

I've been into Victoria Beckham's line too. I got a few of the eye liners and they're SO GOOD.
