Leads for tiny carabiner + curb chain necklaces? (Marla Aaron-ish)

I did a board search and I’ve seen Marla Aaron mentioned as the OG of this style jewelry, but it seems the consensus is her pieces are wayyyyy overpriced.

So, where are people finding similar style necklaces as her pieces? Specifically, the baby lock and “not so heavy curb chain”? I’m looking for at least gold fill…

Etsy searches bring up a TON of options… but it’s hard to sort through what’s legit and what’s drop shipped.

Cartier Tank solo

Hi i found a used tank where they claim its one of the last produce and it has the warranty card from the cartier store from 2023, has anyone got any of the last released tank to give me an idea of the starting numbers of ref #? This one starts with 31.. I’ve been trying to find a barely used gold stainless tank to add to my collection, thanks in advance.

Cartier Trinity Bracelet on Chain

Hi! Does anyone have the Trinity bracelet on chain (the non diamond version)? If so, how do you like it for everyday wear? Is it too understated/dainty?

I'm planning to wear it as a stand alone bracelet to pair with my hand chain. My hand chain is yg with small diamonds (will include pics).

When I visited the Cartier store they only had the Trinity bracelet on chain with the ring of diamonds on the wg. I'm not sure if that version will be too much for daily wear since I already wear 2 tennis bracelets daily on my right wrist.

Help on choosing the right Bal

Hey everyone!
I need some help deciding on a bag—I’m looking to buy a pre-loved one, but not in lambskin. I want a crossbody bag for the warmer season, in red, and medium-sized (not too big, not too small). My main requirements: it should fit a cardholder, keys, phone, lipstick, and most importantly, a Kindle e-reader (6.2” x 4.3”). Since it sits close to the body and I’m on the petite side, I don’t want it to look too big on me.
I’m considering three models:
  • Balenciaga Envelope Clutch – the biggest of the three
  • Balenciaga GHW Shoulder Bag (Calfskin) – probably the medium size
  • Balenciaga Hip – the most compact option
Here’s what I found so far:
  • Balenciaga Hip – $800, goat leather, excellent condition
  • Balenciaga Envelope Clutch (12” x 7” with a strap) – $500, goat leather, excellent condition
  • Balenciaga GHW Shoulder Bag (8.5” x 6”, calfskin) – $500, but a bit worn
What would you recommend based on your experience? Which one would be the best choice?
I’m leaning toward the Envelope Clutch because I really like the style, but it seems a bit bigger than I wanted. The Hip is my second choice—it won’t look bulkier when filled, but I already have something similar in nylon. The GHW Shoulder Bag appeals to me because of the three separate compartments (like the Celine Trio), but I like the design the least.
Am I missing something? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Advises for Clash Bracelet

Small YG Clash Bracelet

  • Getting Plain Version Now

    Votes: 32 97.0%
  • Waiting a couple of years for Paved Version

    Votes: 1 3.0%

I have been waiting for the yellow gold small model Clash bracelet, finally it is available. But now I am torn by whether waiting another couple of years for the paved version or just get the plain version now. Really appreciate that two fellows here (Emily1830 and Miminkat) spent lots of time and made me almost jump to the order. But I am still not 100% ready and feel I need a bit more voices. TIA for your input.

I plan to get this bracelet to stack with my two other bracelets: reg diamond JUC (with diamonds on nail and head), reg plain Love, both in yellow gold. I have always wanting to have a paved diamond bracelet, and think the Clash would be my last chance (have no plan to get a fourth bracelet in future). I like the Pave clash because the diamonds is low key (small) enough to wear 24/7 anywhere without concern. But not sure how many more years I need to wait. If I buy the plain Clash now, would my stacking appear too metal heavy and lack of sparkling ? (reg diamond JUC + reg plain Love + small plain Clash, all in yellow gold). Unfortunately I am
not able to try the bracelet in store due to distance. If the overall look is not like a block of gold, I would be happy I think.

Scarves Cashmere rolled edge - two toned models?

It’s been a while since my interest in the cashmere/silk scarf went low.

However I saw one lady in the park yesterday wearing the cashmere/silk scarf with a two tonnes rolled edge. Not a big fan of bandana which is the current season - Can anyone please let me know what other models have it?
Preferably the full 140 CGSM but triangle would be ok.

Thank you in advance :smile:

Advises for JUC ring

Hi there!

I really want a JUC in white gold for my right pointer finger. I would like to wear it on a daily basis.


But there are a questions:
Do you have problems with getting stuck to clothes and other things?

Could you show the difference between the small and the normal one? (If somebody has both)
I have long and thick fingers and I’m not sure which size is better. Maybe I’ll stack it one day, I don’t know.

And I’m not which one I should get: the one with a few diamonds or the „plain“ one. Are there differences in wearing?

Thank you :)

Help with coat sizing

Hi everyone !

I’ve been looking for a peacoat that isn’t crazy expensive and finally found one from a local brand. I ordered online and it was the last one so I got a size larger than I usually wear. I usually wear an 8 and got a 10. Figured it’d work since I want to be able to layer and wear something thicker than a shirt underneath, maybe a light sweater. Couple of the reviews also said that the armhole and arms run tight.

I received the coat a couple weeks ago and thought it fit pretty well. Maybe slightly loose and a touch bigger in shoulders but the reviews were right in that the armhole and arms run tight. But because I sized up I could layer with a bunch of different tops and was fine. I tried it on again over the weekend and I think the shoulders may be a little too big and makes me look wide. And I don’t know if this is in my head bc I ordered a size up and I hate sizing up. (Even in shoes… )

Now for the question to you all - do you think the size difference between the 8 and 10 is significant enough for me to try to track that size down and try it on ? I’m thinking maybe a size M and L will fit different but between numbered sizing - maybe not that different ?

Thanks all !

Is it a game like Hermes or other issues? I can't get 2 motifs magic MOP and even Frivole earrings..

Edited. Basically, I spent a significant amount of money at VCA and thought I should have a good relationship by now. I want a 2 motif MOP earrings. SA admitted it probably won't happened this year. Which is crazy because it's only march. What's more, she "can't find" a small frivole earrings either which are more accessible.
A asked personal shoppers but they couldn't get the 2 motifs earrings. Is it a game like Hermes or they literally are lacking in that item?

Iridescence lambskin or pearly lambskin?

Which looks prettier, the shine the touch - pearly calfskin or iridescence lambskin? (I don't like caviar but calfskin is basically caviar so I feel dumb).
Im not worried about color transfer and rain.
Also what's the difference between pearly and iridescence? (in review the pearly are described as iridescence when you look at it closely).
