Cartier orchid line?

[surfergirljen]

Yes Candice, saw the small one and it's SO PRETTY! Like a big solitaire almost but prettier up close!!

The medium was just perfect size wise for me... has some POW but not too much... I don't have it home yet nakedmosher I'm sorry!! I didn't have my camera on me today and left it so I could pay later this week and have it lengthened but it's SO PRETTY!!! You NEED to look at these!! I wonder if they'll have one in the Vegas store - apparently there are only 5 (now 4 - haha!) in North America and one of the four is in Vancouver so if you're serious you might want to call and have it ordered in? It's about a nickel size wise I'd say. Really wearable day to day or for fancy nights out! I love it because the sparkle is subtle but just so pretty!!

Did you try on the single pave? I'm debating between the single RG, the double RG, or the tiny pave one ...

Then I was thinking I could do the single RG and the tiny pave for stacking?! Ack I don't know!! I need to figure out my jewelry list...

 

[surfergirljen]

Yes the single pave comes in small (or mini?), medium and large - the medium is about $8800 and that's the one I'm in love with and getting! The small is ADORABLE and so beautiful for layering... kind of like a big solitaire from afar and could definitely be worn every day.

I know it's soooo hard if they don't have it in the store because I never would have been able to decide on this one without seeing it and trying it on! It was the real life wow that got me!! I REALLY wasn't planning on buying something like this today but when I saw it last week OMG!

I loooove the single diamond RG. The double one is so beautiful!! I think the two together would be so pretty too (mini pave/single RG)!! I know too many choices!!!

Yes too many choices!!! I hope they have some selection in Vegas (I think there are 3 Cartier boutiques) so I can decide what to get. I think it's between the single RG, double RG and small (mini) pave (2 of the 3).

I would LOVE the all pave but would need to give up some H wish list items to get that one


Please post pics when you get it! I will be GORGEOUS on you!

 

[surfergirljen]

I will! Thank you! And keep us posted if you need advice in VEGAS! OMG 3 boutiques in one city - funnnnn!

Thank you!! Probably Friday, maybe Monday?

Yes the real possibility (according to my SA) of a price increase pushed me a bit... I wasn't going to buy it today but she said it usually happens around March/April and thought it probably would happen. I just did not want to accept that! I had hoped to save up for it slowly since I've spoiled myself pretty well this "quarter" already... LOL... but since there are only a few left and they might go up in price I kind of caved!

Will post pics for sure - it's a gorgeous piece, I was chatting with my SA for a half hour and kept laying it on my hand and studying it... fell more and more in love with it every minute! By the end when I had to hand it back to her I was a goner... asked her to hold it while I thought about it and then emailed her back this afternoon to say I need that necklace!

Wow, I love that story!! Congrats to you, and looking forward to your reveal. Maybe I'll go look tomorrow, just for fun....

ooh nice! that's exactly what I would like....mind you I would love the medium size but it is out of my price range right now. maybe in a few years! I've broken my threshold for jewellery but I havn't reach the 8k per piece threshold yet LOL

If I do treat myself it will be when I go to vegas in June/ July...let me know what the cartier stores are like!!!!

 

[surfergirljen]

I was really pleasantly surprised at the price compared to comparable VCA pieces - I am not sure how much the medium pave cosmos is for example but to me they are pretty close and I'm sure it's more. The socrates being $14000+ now is insane! It's so pretty but even at $12,400 I took it back, I couldn't justify it for the amount of materials in it! (I know that's not the point but it was just so much for so few diamonds!!)

The small orchid or the medium in pink gold with a diamond are really affordable! I mean not cheap but certainly within grasp if you save for a bit... I kind of assumed the medium would be $15K but that's more the price of the large and it's pretty big. Too big for me personally.

I'm SO excited - I hope I get it Friday!! That will be one heck of a fun day - pick up my ring from Tiffany's and walk like 12 stores down to Cartier to pick up my orchid! God I'm spoiled.... But maybe looking at them will cheer me up when the baby is keeping me up all night and my poor stitches are killing me!

 

[Bitten]

I'm so pleased you're getting the medium pave!!! I am going to be glued to tPF waiting for modeling shots

And now I'm intrigued that there's a small in the pave I've never had any success in getting a pendant or a small necklace but maybe the small pave could be the one???

I really like the pink gold medium and the small pave...I'm going to save my sanity and wait until I go to vegas to try both on because if I go to the bloor boutique (or the one opening in yorkdale) I will not wait and buy it right away lol.

I hope you get both your upgrade and your necklace on Friday, you'll be on cloud nine you wont be able to stop smiling!!! I know sparkley jewellery cheers me up I have a feeling it does for you too! I cannot wait to see pictures of BOTH!!!

Bitten, you must try it on! It is so feminine and pretty and SPARKLY!

OMG Candice, they're opening a Cartier in Yorkdale?! Wow Yorkdale is scoring all the big names!! This should be interesting... I still prefer Tiffany's on Bloor and find them more accommodating, but I'm going to have to cruise that mall a LOT more soon! LOL! I like that my SA there is so nice and would agree to hold things for me etc. for a while - she knows I'll always come back eventually! Bloor is closer right now but in the winter it would be nice to be inside!

I know.... that sounds like a good plan. When is Vegas?? I REALLY did NOT go in there to buy a diamond necklace yesterday! So bad!!! I actually tried to find a way without opening a RED card up to put one on hold for a while or put a down payment down against future price increases, some way to sort of pace myself and not feel too spoiled in one month but it just wasn't working out! And with just 5 left in the system right now... you can't even pre-pay for one at current prices if a price increase happens... and if you put down a downpayment on one it still isn't yours until you pay it off in full. It was entrapment! haha...

Oh yes, sparkly jewelry has that effect for sure! Having a baby is the best, of course... the biggest blessing. I love my DD's more than anything in the world. But I'm not going to lie, I've had two c-sections already and there are two little ones to contend with now too and there are days when you pretty much want to crawl under the covers and die in the first few months after giving birth... LOL... I'm going to take my little jewelry box with my real "treasures" (not the big one with my costume jewelry that the girls play princess in and THROW all over my floor, I mean the good stuff!) under the covers with me when that happens, put them ALL on at once and just stare at them! Haha...

ohhh yes they are! right across from tiffany! that whole hallway is dangerous for my wallet

vegas is in june so I have lots of time to save! the last time I was in Vegas was for my 24th bday and all I bought was jewellery then and I don't think the pattern is going to change except instead of judith ripka and silver pieces....I've moved on to gold, platinum and designer brands so I have some saving to do!!

I LOVE the image of you underneath your sheets with your VCA, Cartier, Tiffany etc glistening and sparkling around you....so content with your jewels:giggles:

I'm not going to lie...there's days where I pick up my big jewellery cabinet, bring it into the living room turn the TV on and just play with everything! You deserve to treat yourself for sure with 2 little girls and another on the way I think it is very important that you make YOU time!
