OMG these collections are so beautiful girls!! I love seeing how different people collect different items from one big collection - so interesting! They are all beautiful, both big families and small!!
I think we should start a Cartier and Tiffany's family album too... although there is a Tiffany's thread already I think! I can actually say I have a Cartier family now!
Mine was the WG/MOP bracelet, for about $1,500 and I think I went back a few times until I got up the nerve to buy it
Then I got the rest of my MOP set next.
HAHA! I saw the WG/TURQ bracelet on some teenager on the beach outside the Ritz Carlton in Naples and had to look it up (which is how I found THIS site!) to find out who made it... there was a boutique in Naples as it happened and I had TOTAL sticker shock at the $1500 too! I almost laughed it off until I caught the addiction ... my very first piece of fine jewellery I ever bought myself was the YG/MOP bracelet!
thanks everyone for the sweet comments. i ordered this through pottery barn online a few years ago. it was the medium size. it's faux leather but i really loved the compartments and color and didn't want to spend a fortune on a smythson one.
I have the same one in cream! But am seriously thinking of buying a pink Smythson one just because!!
Once everything is insured and I feel like I can leave it out a bit more I'd love to have one great jewelry box with all my goodies in it!
here's a pic of my family. i hope to add a few more pieces and then i'm done (famous last words)!

Okay here is my little "family"!
Lotus Earrings
(my fav family member I think!)
20 motif WG/MOP
5 motif WG/TURQ
5 motif YG/MOP
And my sweets!
I've bought and returned or sold a lot of items along the way!!! LOL... I've had very forgiving Sales Associates, what can I say! Looking back at my pics I can't believe I've exchanged a 10 motif, a 20 motif, a socrates, 2 magic pendants, one vintage pedant and a pair of sweet earrings!
Indecisive much? LOL!
In the end I think I ended up with the right collection for me, though I still lust after a few pieces for sure!!
