lucky lady! I'm going to vegas in the summer and I was hoping to check out the mini and RG orchid necklaces while there...thanks for the tip I'll have to make sure they have the stock before I go!:smile1:

They were more than happy to check the other stores and get them shipped in from Dallas before I leave the city. Very accommodating. I can't wait to try them!

They did have the medium and large pave diamond rings in the store which were stunning!!!

I will make sure to get the sneak pics of the RG rings for everyone to see. :)

"Look honey, instead of getting the VCA Cosmos pave ring for $24,900, I got the Cartier Orchid pave ring for $8,575. See darling, I've saved us over $16,000. Plus tax!!!"

LOL, actually the prices are comparable to the frivole line (about $100 difference here and there). But do you think this reasoning will fly??? :rofl:

Well, I think VCA Cosmos is not quite the same level as the medium Orchid. The Cosmos line has a lot of presence and a lot more diamonds. In terms of presence, small Cosmos might be comparable to large Orchid. So saving 16k would be really stretching it :p

Don't be so defensive over the Cosmos line, I know the line has more "presence" or whatever you say, than the orchid. I was just kidding. Obviously I'm comparing apples to oranges here in terms of carat weight, gold vs. platinum, workmanship, etc. but I was also trying highlight the fact that our perceptions are a little skewed when it comes to these things. In the end, they ARE, after all, two pave diamond pendants. Most guys probably couldn't tell the difference (besides the size) between the two and I thought the statement would be funny in jest.

I never meant it to be serious in rationalizing a purchase between the two.

Hmmmmm...I'm liking this logic :thinkin:

So DB is going to Miami for work in a month or so, he'll be there for one day and I was hoping to get him to pick the mini up from the Cartier boutique there - does anyone have any advice re. which is the best boutique to go to (I was thinking perhaps the Cartier in Saks at Dadeland Mall? - it seems to have the best range of goods - also DB can pick up a Tag watch he's been lusting over for himself at the same time).

agree! one of my pet peeves is when stores make you feel like you are inconveniencing them to shop there!!

Is it crazy of me to think the pricing of the orchid line as "reasonable"??? I mean, in comparison to VCA, the items are a steal, LOL.

no not at all! that was my first thought when Jen mentioned the price of the medium:laugh:

Oh wow, how exciting!! After looking at Jen's pictures, I really think it is a gorgeous piece and at such a reasonable price, too. Very dainty but still a lot of presence.

I think buying from a department store is always a better idea. At the boutique, purchases typically can only be exchanged or returned for store credit. The window for an exchange is also smaller. At a department store, such as Saks or Neiman's, you can freely exchange/return in a much longer time period and I feel the customer service is also usually a little better especially if you run into a problem with the product. Plus you can get points by using your Saks card ;)

I'm not going till June or july :laugh: I'm planning waaay ahead!!!

remember what happens in Vegas, stays in vegas....there's no such thing as a ban on anything there!! LOL

That's okay!! It's always good to plan ahead, especially when you are going during the busy months. Weather in June will be nice, but in July, it'll be getting a little toasty haha. Aria is beautiful and has a nice. . .perfumey smell to it. I can't smell the smoke in the casinos at all, unlike the older hotels, who have the stale cigarette/cigar smoke smell. . .lol.

Haha, you're so bad! I'm going to save my money and really treat myself to something after I pass the bar. I can't reward myself if I don't!!! :laugh:
