Beautiful ring! Do your fingers swell a lot in summer? if so I would stick with this one. Unless it falls off and really spins to the back during normal movement.
Now you need the necklace!!!!!!!!!!!:graucho:

Ha! I loved the bracelet as well!

Im order to satisfy my ridiculous curiosity I'm driving down to Chicago this weekend to try on the 48. :facepalm:

I think the 49 will end up being the one but I don't think I can feel 100% ok w/ the decision without trying on the 48. Hopefully nothing else will be there to enable me! Gah!

i think you should if you are unsure! Nothing like being stuck with a piece that is not 100% perfect for you!

I keep eyeing the earrings! They are so pretty too!

Hi ladies!! I received the ring today and my gosh, the packaging, the details of the wrappings! Stunning.

Anyway, I tried on a 50 in the store which was a bit big so we decided on a 49. Well, the 49 slides perfectly fine on my finger and is a bit loose (the orchid spins to the back sometimes).

I'm wondering, should I exchange for a 48? Or stick with this size since it's winter and when summer comes it my fingers could swell.

Any advice? They're looking for a 48 but the nearest boutique is 3.5 hours away so a bit of a drive to try it on.

if your fingers swell I would stick with the 49, but it doesn't hurt to try on the 48 if you're willing to do the drive!

Ooh this could be a dangerous trip!!! Take some photos if you see anything else pretty for us to drool over!!

ps I never like my rings too tight so I'd probably go with the 49 but it sounds like a fun excuse to drive to Chicago for the day! :)

What??!! OMG I'm serious they cannot make them fast enough! The RG one was gone from the Toronto store today too...

If you're really desperate to have it I'd pre-order one and lock in the price...

I hope you find one!!

I know!! I didn't think that they'd be THIS popular...

And I've had such a hard/lousy week. I was hoping to treat myself. My SA is looking into pre-ordering...She said the Pave ones are nearly out too. Lucky you snagged one! :smile1:

I often times wonder how much we drive demand on some items? I've never looked at the Orchard line before this thread and now it's selling out? Just wondering, thoughts?

HAHA! Honestly I think we do do some significant damage as a group here!!

There's a large pave one in Toronto but it looks like the small is gone and of course I got the medium! :) I took a picture of it yesterday and will post here -it is SO pretty. i think it's just under $16K though.

They'll keep making them don't worry - it will just take a while. When I bought mine there were still (only) 4 left in North America so there might be a chance of finding one... I know one was in Vancouver!

i've always loved Caresse d'orchidees line so I'm glad it's gotten some renewed attention. I do think there is A TON of buying power on tPF though!! there is no question of that in my mind! just look at the Cartier Love bracelet and the VCA thread! :smile1:
 
#221
Agree ladies! Before I also dismissed the ligne and prefered VCA's frivole. I think I still do., for me as it is larger. But after not being able to get my Frivole ring after a year, this is calling me.

I tried the ring on, 2 orchid one and it didn't have as much presence as the Frivole. But I love the single ring , the bracelet and of course the pave pendants!!!!

I would love the pave earrings. But I am holding out for the VCA 3 motif dangles. I think the earrings I want are 16k? OY!
I am telling you this jewelry forum is the most enabling of all of TPF!
 
#222
I agree with you all, sometimes I wonder how much buying power this forum has, I've noticed a few times how something becomes popular on this board and then stocks suddenly deplete! between the members and guests on TPF there's plenty of people reading these threads :D

I think you made a really interesting point. Lots of people read this board and when you see something on someone, you may mentally think "Oh, I have a top/wardrobe/lifestyle etc that this would suit" and so it goes on. We are the worlds greatest enablers for sure:laugh:

It is very easy to get carried away, I have now fallen for Verdura Duchess Earrings, I have no business looking at these earrings but the Jewellery section is beyond dangerous.:D

Back to your point, yes demand is driven but also SA's do sometimes try to enhance the demand by saying "oh its selling out" when irl they can just fed ex it from europe.
