Help? Tiffany Knot

Hi Queens/Kings

My husband bought me the RG Tiffany Knot for Mothers Day and I absolutely love it of course. He had bought it a few months back but I asked him to take it back because I felt like it was just too much for me, I’m a pretty basic lady.

So between our 18th wedding anniversary and Mother’s Day he knew that I regretted him taking it back so he bought it again.

I have a SA I deal with in store and one that I’ve dealt with online. The online SA wrote to check in and saw that we had been in store and said that she doesn’t think that the knot is a good 24/7 piece.

That’s what I am looking for.

Honestly I’m not sure what to do? I mean I know the chain is thin. I was looking at the lock too but I just love the knot so much more. I am obviously going to be careful but I don’t want it to just sit in the box either. I was really hoping to find that signature piece that I could just keep on all the time.

Thoughts?

Small WOC vs Mini Lou Camera Bag

Which bag is better choice

  • Mini Lou Camera Bag

  • Small WOC


Results are only viewable after voting.

I know it’s big bag energy for 2025 but I like smaller bags that fit comfortably on me and I’m sorry but I have 3 tiny kids so I love crossbody bags. I’d like to get either the old mini camera bag with tassel or the small WOC. Either would be black with gold hardware. I want it to be used for the few special occasions that show up like weddings etc or can also be worn more everyday so I get use out of it. I don’t have a lifestyle that requires a wedding or black tie type bag but I’ve noticed I don’t have an option for those when I’ve needed one. I have YSL Camera Bag (larger style) Black with silver hardware, YSL Toy Loulou black with black hardware, YSL small envelope dark beige gold hardware, LV Speedy B 25, LV Pochette accessories, LV Alma BB Epi leather black with silver hardware. I’m leaning towards WOC even though it’s small because it would round out collection better but the mini camera bag holds more so probably more use from that however I could reach for my toy loulou for same function.

Anyone wearing the Tiffany Lock bracelet 24/7?

I wear my white gold Cartier Love bracelet 24/7 and I've gotten totally used to it. Now I'm dying to add a Tiffany Lock bracelet (YG+WG combo) to my daily stack.

However, I'm a bit unsure if it's comfy enough to wear all the time, like sleeping, showering, etc.
I don't mind scratches, but I did feel a little uneasy when I tried the bracelet on because the weight felt off-balance. My SA also recommended taking it off when I don't need it… but then said it's sturdy enough for 24/7 wear🤔

If you wear your Tiffany Lock 24/7, how has it been? Is it comfortable to sleep and shower in?
And if you decided not to wear it daily, I'd love to hear why too.

Thanks in advance!

Any suggestions on invisible scratches not seen with the naked eyes on a new turquoise piece?

Hello,

I want to hear general thoughts on the minor, invisible scratches not seen with the naked eyes.
I recently purchased sweet Alhambra turquoise earrings. Those were beautiful.

I somehow own a loupe (magnifying glasses) at home (purchased it to inspect diamonds) and I kept using it to quickly check the condition when I purchase a new jewelry.

The pair itself looks gorgeous. No scratches were visible in naked eyes. But somehow, when I take a look with the loupe, I noticed multiple hairline scratches here and there. But again, those are only when I take a look with the loupe, and it is still very thin hairline scratches.

I regretted that I took a look with the loupe as I loved its color. I own a few Alhambra stones from VCA but none of them had any issues like this. So with VCA pieces, I usually use the loupe, admire their craftsmanship, and also have fun with checking minor colored inclusion. Didn’t really expect this.

I kept going back and forth — first wondering if this might be common with turquoise these days, and then questioning how it could have passed their quality control. Should I just keep the pair since it is invisible with the naked eyes? Or worth trying to complain, return and wait for a new pairs as I already know they are there? Turquoise pieces are rare, but I know sweet Alhambra pieces are occasionally in stock.

I know I’m picky. Please do not blame on this lol i know i know :’( I know there will be plenty of ppl who will be just enjoying the pieces without checking with loupe as it is perfect with the naked eye. But at the same time, how come it passed their quality control? Or is it really the bar now?

If it was a bracelet, I do not really care as I know I will make bigger scratches in day 1. But at the same time, I always take off my earrings as soon as I get home. My earrings rarely get any tiny scratches.

What would you do? Should I just turn a blind eye to the scratches and enjoy the jewelry anyway? Or well, is it reasonable complains anyways? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

VCA Perlee Sweet Clovers Bracelet comparison to Cartier Medium Love Bracelet

Hello, does anyone own the VCA Sweet Clovers Perlee Bracelet? How do you like using it so far? Is it suitable for daily use or is it too much bling? Can anyone also share the width of the bracelet in comparison to the new Cartier medium love bracelet which measures 4.8mm. I want to know if these two bracelets will stack harmoniously well together. Thank you.

2004 Aviator Twiggy question:

Hi all,
I’m fairly new to Balenciaga and have acquired this aviator collection Twiggy bag (at least that’s what I can discern from the little I’ve found online.) I’d like to moisturize the leather but want to be sure of what type of leather it is before I do so. Is this goat leather?
I tried to look in the Aviator thread but it appears to be shut down or broken.
Any and all help is appreciated.

Birkin in Rose Lipstick in Chevre - is it too risky?

I found out I'm not a fan of Togo. I'm a Chanel lambskin type so you can understand me better. Epsom is ok but I'm tempted to try chèvre due to different leather, shine. I wasn't a huge fan of pinks before especially due to the climate. That's why I passed up on Rose Azalea in epsom - evercolor/swift showed this color better in pics. I was worried it would be too washed out in Epsom. Was I wrong? I have basically a few hours to change my mind. Or rose purple
I know in small Kellys chèvre even in pink looks fun. Would it be too overwhelming? (I like blue electriq the most so far though).
I don't want the bag to be too much, too OTT.
Blue hydra in chevre chamkila is my dream color I think. (Neutrals of course as well)

porte-cles: after almost 7 years, I finally can use it for its purpose

It might sound a little silly to some of you, but With my very first bonus (year-end bonus to be precise in 2018), I bought this, assuming I would use it once I had bought a new car.

And after 6,5 years, the day finally came!
Yes, it has been for so long in its box.

I bought this in 2018 in the LV Store in Paris, Champs Elysees. It was hotstamped there too. It has 6 sloths and is designed in the cherry red.
Back then, I bought it for €170.
I only see the classic brown version on the website. Did they discontinue the red version?

My carkey is pretty thick, but it seems to hold it well. It still closes without looking too bulky.

Very happy porte-cles user over here, it matches my excitement :-) oh and maybe a little picture of the new car too :-)

Thanks for letting me share !

Terrible experience at NJ VCA

I purchased a watch from Van Cleef & Arpels (VCA), but within a month, it started slowing down. I brought it to the store, where they suggested a battery issue and replaced it. This struck me as odd—a brand-new watch, supposedly just delivered, already out of battery? Still, I let it slide. Unfortunately, the problem has persisted, recurring every three to four months for the past two years. I’ve sent the watch for assessment eight times, and each time, VCA claimed they found no issues. In January, I sent it again, and they offered a full service for $200, which I refused to pay, as I wasn’t responsible for the defect. Predictably, the watch slowed down again and was sent back to the same workshop, which has repeatedly failed to identify the root cause. The latest email I received from VCA reads:


“Please note that exposure to magnetic fields or nearby electronic devices may temporarily affect the watch’s accuracy or functionality. Common sources of magnetism include cell phones, laptops, tablets, chargers, and accessories such as wallets, handbags, or cases with magnetic clasps.”


A luxury watch that can’t function in everyday life? Even budget watches from Temu are more reliable. The negative Google reviews are entirely justified. NJ residents, I strongly urge you to avoid the only VCA location in the state.

Two butterflies necklaces unavailable online

Hi all,

I'm a newbie to the brand. After some visits, try-ons, and lots of thoughts, my heart has become completely set on the WG two butterflies necklace. I tried to get it online today, almost got through the checkout, then was having a card issue. I decided to try again tonight, and then got a pop-up saying the piece is now unavailable.

Is this collection discontinued? I'm kinda freaking out. I could find a different necklace, but I'm looking for a really special everyday necklace, and I think if I get anything else, I'm going to feel sad every time I look at it, knowing it's not the one I really wanted (dramatic, I know). I could also try to find one on resale but I am not seeing any on my trusted resale sites and really wanted to go straight through the brand.

Any advice? I'll call them tomorrow to try and get one over the phone. But I'm curious, is this common for the brand for this type of collection to be discontinued or do you think it'll be restocked?

Thank you.

Should I add a Quilted Tabby 26?

Hey everyone! I already have two quilted Tabby 20s. One is black with silver hardware and one is fuscia.

I love both of these bags, but they are definitely reserved for date nights and other events where I don't need to carry much. I can't fit my card case / car key holder in them, so I always have to re-arrange my SLGs.

The Tabby 26 in black with gold hardware really has my attention... I've been tempted to buy it for a few weeks now. What do you think? Is having two black tabby's in different colors redundant?

If you have a Tabby 26 in black, I would love to hear about your experience with its quality as a more daily use bag. Is the leather too delicate for that?

How much Alhambra is too much?

Do you have a strategy or rules for how much Alhambra to wear at once?

I have a pair of earrings (YG onyx), two pendant necklaces (YG sweet MOP and YG VA hammered), and a 5 motif bracelet (YG MOP). Curious what you like to mix, and what you think looks too dated or cheesy.

Adjacent question, at what point did you or would you stop buying YG VA pieces in order to add different metal or line options for additional versatility? I don’t want a huge jewelry collection so wondering if I stop here with YG VA and move into the other metals, or frivole or perlee, but those aren’t as easy to find b.c there are fewer options in my price range…

Help me choose between these 2 Lady Dior colors… please!

Hello!

I’m about to buy my very first Dior bag and I’m eyeing the Lady Dior. The choice is between the classic black and the grey stone. I want a color that will transition from day to night, thru all seasons and of course be as versatile in pairing with outfits. Whilst I had initially decided on the black I’m falling for the grey stone color as it’s very unique to the brand and feels less common on the streets.

Would love your perspectives to inform my decision:-))

Thanks!
S

Songmont Bags

She just arrived, so these are first thoughts @Yoshi1296 .

She came nicely packaged. I like the style and the bag is actually quite light. The suede is soft but fairly thin, the Coach Brooklyn is thicker and stiffer by comparison. I consider her well made, the stitching is even and the details inside look good. I'm guessing the long strap is separate as I didn't receive one, but the handle drop is more than sufficient for shoulder wear.

I love the colour and can see myself carrying this bag, although the leather handles and trim look kinda of cheap in comparison to my premier bags. BUT it's not a really expensive bag at $719 USD, plus I received a small discount. Not sure I'd like a full leather one if the leather is the same as the handles, but the look of the suede is nice enough. It'll be interesting to see how the suede holds up; although I'm not rough on my bags, I don't baby them either.

So, I'll keep her, we've kinda bonded. :lol: If the quality of the stitching wasn't good it would be a different story but it certainly doesn't look like a cheaply thrown-together bag.

Cartier Love stack: S+M+C

G’day All!

I currently have a WG 6-diamond Love bracelet in small and I’m hoping to jump in the last car of the departing train to get more before the price hike.

I’m mostly a WG person and like stacking my small love with the classic JUC (also in WG) and my VCA WG 5-motif.

As I have just discovered (I know, I know.. I’ve been living under a rock), classic love now comes as a single hinge version!!! The old locking system was the main reason why I went with the small version a few years ago. I’m a huge advocate for the hinge system - makes one’s life super easy.

So… my question is… does anyone have any photos they can share with 3 different sizes of LOVE (S+M+C) together? I don’t wear YG often, but thinking I might like to have my 6-diamond WG small + YG medium + WG 4-diamond classic. Would love to see your photos ❤️ can’t seem to find that exact (or close to that) combo in any forums.

Here is also a photo of my current everyday stack just for fun!E8A24E7D-F007-40CC-B70F-0485E68C47C6.webp
