I know I'm becoming slightly obsessed with it!! I don't know anything about orchids but I just love the style of it, the bling is blingy but could be worn with a sundress too which I love... very Jennifer Garner style! I think I'm relating to her suddenly with the three kids/brunette thing but all of the sudden all I'm seeing is Cartier on her!

Haha... Darkangel, maybe if I cancel my amex the red card would make sense... LOL... have to start saving and then we'll see when the next price increase approaches if I need it! Have certainly been bad lately!!! :)

that's true I have noticed as well that Jennifer Garner does wear a lot of Cartier, she wears it well casually with jeans or with dresses too. gotta love a girl that has great style in jewellery and makes it look casual :D

I know! Just took her In Style photo in to get my hair colour matched to hers today so I think now I HAVE to copy her jewelry style too! ;) (there's some enabling logic for you!!!)

Ha! Thought you might say that! :)

OMG she had on a couple of Cartier Trinity bracelets on the cover and my SA showed me the one with one of the rings in diamonds... I dared to check the price. $42,000!!! GAHHHHH! What made me think that it would be more like $15K if the plain 3 gold one was $6700? Doesn't that seem like an INSANE jump?? Then again, an extra $4K just to add 4 tiny diamonds to a love bracelet doesn't make much sense either ... but it IS SO PRETTY!

It is a huge price jump! I don't really understand cartier's reasoning when it comes to pricing their diamond pieces. But it's Cartier and I guess they can put whatever price tag they want on pieces because people will buy it because it is oh so sparkley and pretty:laugh:

diamonds just make something THAT much better and are priced accordingly for it!

Ooh just discovered this one and it's under $3K! Hmmmm... tough call. I wonder, do you think the gold on this would scratch easily? It would be more day-to-day wearable - and I love pink gold! But OMG that diamond one is a stunner!!! What do you think - which would you get?

Hey jen :) I love the RG single orchid diamond pendant. I actually tried it on in Paris about 18 months ago and absolutely fell in love...but didn't end up getting it (got my beautiful Birkin instead!)

I think it's a pretty spectacular piece that packs a nice punch given how delicate and feminine it is. It's the sort of thing that you can't help but notice and then you want to look again and again!

Not sure about the scratch factor on the RG. I love the diamond one also - I suppose the question for you would have to be if you ended up going with the RG one, would you be happy with that in your collection forever, or would you still work your way towards the diamond one eventually? Because I don't think two of the single orchid pendants is a good idea - even though they're both beautiful, they are too similar in my view to get both of them.

Have you seen the multiple-orchid necklace in RG? I absolutely love it - and I think you could get that and the all diamond single orchid pendant and have both in a collection

Sorry, that was no help at all was it??! :laugh::p

I would go for the diamond. I tried the diamond single flower orchid ring last year. Although I ended up getting the frivole ring, the orchid diamond pave was really beautiful. The RG may also change color over time.

the diamond one is incredible!!! i'm sure the price is too;)

I like the rose gold with the single diamond, I cannot see it being easy to scratch, maybe if it was a ring but set in a necklace I think the scratch factor will be low. I think you will get more wear out of the single diamond version imo....

Yes it was! You make excellent points. Do you happen to have a modelling pic? It must be a very wearable piece, it looks so pretty! I did see the multiple RG one and it's on my little wish list of possibilities too - and you're right, if I could afford both it wouldn't step on the single diamond one too much, they're different enough looks... I LOVE it. I'm just not sure it's that useful for my lifestyle, KWIM? I work at home or on set most of the time and it's a pretty fancy piece. I think I could rock the RG/one diamond or even the medium pave diamond with my daily/weekend wear enough though!

LOVE the Frivole! These do remind me of the VCA ones - I think I prefer the orchid to the frivole, but am not sure I can say why... just personal preference I guess. Good point about the RG... I'm just afraid if I scratch it I'll be SO annoyed. My LOVE is driving me nuts, I want it perfect and new all the time! (maybe a bad choice in retrospect for me!) LOL...

I finally got a chance to look at the website,..does the single flower necklace with one diamond only come rg? the only wg ones I saw were paved.

I THINK so. I've bought a lot of YG recently so wouldn't mind a WG piece and don't have a piece anything like either really in my collection, except the new Trinity charm I just got. The pave would probably stand out more in my collection (I use the term loosely!) than the RG... I just thought it looked really pretty for the price!

That's kind of why I stayed away from the frivole etc. at VCA - scratch factor. But it IS a pendant - how much can you bang into with your collar bone, right? LOL...

The pave is $8800 and the RG/diamond is just under $3K. Only $5K more to save... hmmmm!!!

I MUST STOP. At least I know who to call up if I need enabling! Who do you see at the Cartier on Bloor? I'm with Tamara, she's so lovely!
