How fast is your jewelry going up in value?

As @Cthullu said, the price of gold has absolutely skyrocketed in the past several years, and will continue to do so. So the increase in price on genuine gold jewelry actually has more to do with that than with general luxury retail markup (in order to retain their standard margins jewelers are increasing items’ costs as the raw materials, specifically gold, increase so that it doesn’t eat into their profits).

It’s certainly not fun for us, but I have less of an issue with fine jewelry prices increasing than I do with say, luxury bag prices increasing, because the price of the materials required to make a canvas LV bag or even a Chanel flap are not increasing on par with their exorbitant markups. Just my two cents! 😇

Cartier Clash Vs Tiffany Hardware

I prefer Clash as the details are more intricate. I have the inspired Tiffany Hardware earrings and I seldom wear it as I find too dressy to my liking. You should consider the new Clash mini earrings! They are so cute!

I asked my SA for size comparison between the mini and small version. Here's the photo for your reference.

Micro Lady D Joy - color?

Hi! I just got the small LD in Latte for my first Dior. I feel like it really depends on colors you'd wear. I wear a lot of white and lighter colors, so that's why I went with Latte. Plus, it will match every twilly/mitzah! However, some fall/winter outfits do not match as well, and if you're a darker color wearer, I'd go the darker color. Especially if you wear a lot of denim, you won't have to worry about color transfer! My vote will always be white, but my next bag will definitely be in the brown/warmer colors.

Is this a bad idea?

Thank you all so much! I will cancel this one. Is it still hard to purchase a mini through the boutique? How would I go about it? I’ve only ever purchased a few SLGs.

No, not hard imo. Depending on timing and the boutiques stock, there's always some when I've visited various stores. I bought a seasonal mini this past week in Dallas and saw several in NM Cherry Creek 2 weeks ago!

I agree about the medium double flap, the SA commented when she saw my lamb beige clair, said it's everyone's holy grail and really hard to get. I had no idea as I'm not a classic flap girl, I have just the one and I happened to be carrying it the day we went in and I got the mini.

Al Pacino’s cautionary tale

do you believe $400k a year for landscaping? wow. must have been a large property with lots of plants
The accountant took care of all of these minute details. He probably never looked at a statement his whole life. He just remembers how much he got for each film and focused his energy in acting. And besides, his accountant probably made false statements, so no point looking at them. He got screwed......

Feel really sorry for this guy. Cautionary tale for other celebrities.

Neverfull BB Tote Bag

Hi, K-Mac. I own the Neverfull BB with the beige/tan interior, and I love it. I’ve always loved totes, and this is just the cutest little version of one of my favorite bags. I have 2 Neverfull MMs and 2 Neverfull PMs. When I saw this release, I couldn’t resist. Sometimes, I drop this bag inside one of my MMs, and if I need to run inside a store, I put my essentials into the small Neverfull and leave the larger bag in my car. As you mentioned, I didn’t prefer the guitar strap, so I sold mine to Fashionphile and the coin pouch that came with the bag. I already have the older coin pouch and didn’t need two. Instead of using the guitar strap, I ordered an 11cm adjustable vachetta strap from Organize My Bag after seeing it featured on a YouTube review by Minks4All. It looked perfect on her bag, and I’ve found it to be lightweight and a good match to the Neverfull BB. I can post a picture of the strap on my bag if it will help you visualize other options, just let me know. Sometimes, I also use an adjustable monogram strap I purchased several years ago from LV. Either option works well. Hope this helps! :smile:

Louis Vuitton Sac Triangle

As I recall they are two separate bags, not both Sac Triangle. One was for knitting needles.

Edit: The needles one is Sac Tricot.

Does anyone have the Louis Vuitton Freedom Bag?

Does anyone own the freedom bag? Feedback on quality and wearability would be welcome. Thank you
