Grain de Cafe

I love everything about this , except for the way the diamonds are set. It reminds me of David Yurman. The diamonds don't have any fire and look a bit dull in the settings. Of course I need to see in person as pics can be deceiving.

I was able to see more pieces in the collection. This time with better pics. The larger pieces are stunning. The smaller pieces had a strong bezel to the diamonds. The double ring is growing on me.

I was literally thinking the same thing. I'm getting Yurman vibes too, particularly the thick, woven/braided look of the chains, etc.

I was at the launch of this collection in Grace Kelly's hometown
It is honestly beautiful. I love the necklace (the one Grace wore) and the ring... Super chic!

Got to try one of the rings. It was larger than I’d expected and the beans moved. I wanted to try the RG ring but they didn’t have it. Apparently it’s even bigger than this one.

Unpopular opinion here but I think the designs look quite dated, like very 70’s—especially with that rope design. But I do think that vintage-y, ornate look is very in right now with the stylish set so I can see the appeal.

I think it is supposed to be a midcentury aesthetic. I would say it is 40’s-60’s style. I get that it’s not for everyone; but I think that period has an enjoyable merging of over the top glamour and a bit of camp for fun.

In my eyes ugly but we all have different tastes. Still, I doubt Cartier sells alot of these ...

Which pieces did you get eventually?

Which pieces did you get eventually?

I actually did not get them. I absolutely love the rings, but I have small fingers and they are too large on me (go over the knuckle). Did you end up adding any of the pieces from this line?

I bought the necklace and earring last year and added ring recently. I regretted I didn’t get the bracelet instead of earring

I had the pleasure of trying some of the pieces on during my last trip to HI in January. The movement of the individual pieces was interesting, as was the history, but I wasn't enthralled with the pieces on me. Too fussy....
