Tiffany Rose Gold Heart Beaded Bracelet vs Hermes Ex-Libris/Confetti Bracelet

I like the Hermes design. It’s fun and asymmetric and has visual elements throughout the bracelet. However, with all the dangling charms, it would be difficult to wear. And also get tangled if you stack it with other bracelets or bangles. I also think you shouldn’t buy Hermes jewelry unless you absolutely love it, since it’s not from a jewelry company.

For that reason, I would choose the Tiffany bead bracelet. Though I don’t love the dangling heart, but it’s cute and wearable.

For other two-tone options, I would look at the Boucheron bangle, which was mentioned above.

The Bulgari Bzero1 has some multicolor options. At least historically in my memory, there was a rose and white version.

The Tiffany lock collection also has the two-tone bangles. Those stack nicely with Cartier love.

The VCA holiday pendant is also rose and white gold. Not a bracelet, but maybe a piece you’d be interested in.

The Cartier trinity is an option too, as pointed out. But I don’t like it as a bracelet. It just flips and the design feels lackluster.

I guess it would also depend on budget, since the jump from silver to white gold is quite large.

Frivole pave small yg or Alhambra pave yg? What are experiences with these?

I have been having the same dilemma. I tried both on in stores and I do feel the frivole pair is what makes my heart sings. I like the 3D design and that it is not as common as Alhambra. (I own Alhambra MOP and frivole RG and also reach out more often to frivole…) Now I have another dilemma, which is to go for WG or YG. YG definitely suits my skin tone more but many ladies have recommended WG because of the bling factor.

Ring issue

I tend to purchase rings that fit more than 1 finger, so in my case it would be pointer and middle on both hands.
I had some size issues with the Cushion ring but it’s all good now, try it on before purchase that’d be my advice.
I also thought if for some reason Cushion doesn’t fit me anymore it could serve as a nice pendant I think…

Trusted sites to sell some of my Dooney's

It's me, again! I feel for you because doing a closet clear out and selling was new to me at one time. About 10 years ago I sold 2 Dooney handbags on Ebay. One transaction went well and the other buyer claimed to Ebay that I sold her a new counterfeit bag. She said I claimed the bag was sold as used and it looked brand new. I had carried the bag frequently for months. I take care of my bags. It was legit. I still had the printed order from QVC. It took me 10 years before I had the guts to sell bags from my closet on secondary sites. She was unpleasant.

You might consider going on Reddit to see how selling is going on at various platforms. I heard Mercari is pretty dead for sales. My neighbor sells other items, but Facebook Marketplace was a fail for her.

Dooney is quality and as long as you have well kept bags, something of interest and price correctly they should sell. I sold a florentine bag on Ebay in less than an hour about a week ago.

Most Dooney buyers are well educated in the brand and know the value.

You might consider cross listing. If I have something on Poshmark and it sells on Ebay, I list the Posh item as all sold out.

To me pricing is key. Remember, a stranger is buying from a stranger and taking a chance. Have reasonable expectations about what someone will pay for your preowned handbag. I see sellers asking what I consider high prices and their listings sit. I want a small bit back on my financial outlay.

For instance, I dropped the selling price on a Dooney bag by 10%. The feedback I received from the buyer was very positive. But, getting some money back and having space is what I am after. I purchased 5 handbags from Dooney and 2 cosmetic bags this week. I hope they all fit.

Just ask yourself what is the goal in selling your Dooney bags and then just start and see what works for you.

I'm so glad you mentioned Mercari. I looked at their platform and may try them and poshmark. I haven't used Ebay for decades. The last time was over 20 years ago to sell a large piece of fitness equipment. May try Ebay at some point.

Will definitely be pricing my bags to move. I have an excellent selling record on Vestaire, however I've noticed that sometimes the bags sit there for longer periods of time and I'm ready to move the bags along.

COACH WESTERN SOFT TABBY IN MAPLE IS TO DIE FOR

How long have you had it? How do you like it?
purchased it in January when the style was first released under the cargo tabby messenger name. I love the feel of the leather exterior leather and the suede lining. It holds more than enough but isn't a huge bag. Edgy yet classic. I don't wear it a lot,as I have quite a few bags, but it'll definitely stay in my collection. I use it more as a crossbody bag. I've seen people do some coach create pins on their bag, and it looks lovely with the pins or rivets added as well.

Ultherapy v Venus Legacy?

Just wanted to share my experience with Ultherapy (2nd gen / new version, done in Seoul recently!). I did it mainly for jawline tightening and some lifting around the cheeks and nothing too dramatic, just hoping to feel a bit more "snatched" and refreshed.


The treatment itself was honestly more uncomfortable than painful. They used numbing cream and a mild oral painkiller, so it was bearable, but you still feel heat and a bit of zapping. I’d say maybe 6-7/10 discomfort? Some areas like the jawline were more sensitive than others.


Afterward, there was no downtime. Just a bit of mild swelling and tenderness (especially when I touched my face), but nothing visible was able to go out right after. Results aren’t instant, but around the 4-week mark I started noticing that my lower face looked more lifted and the skin texture felt firmer. It’s subtle, but in a good way that people kept saying looked more “rested.”:coolio:
