Is the full Berlingot line finally available in the USA?
I been stalking my local boutique.. seems its now the Berlingot and not the menotte ‍♀️. Worse part IS .. no bangles. Just necklace and rings from what I saw on her phone. And yes, its August and its still not listed on the website !!!
We want bangles! We want bangles!
 
Ooh love it! I love my bangle and wish I could have gotten it with stones like yours but knowing me I’d chip them in one day but I love the combo with the gold!
Thank you so much! You know I absolutely covet and adore your bracelet! I know exactly what you mean about the stones; even though I would love the bracelet version of this ring, I think the ring will be safer to wear on a daily basis ❤️
 
It's lovely but also your diamond ring ! I would love details
Thank you, you are so kind! I had purchased an art deco diamond ring some years back, I completely fell in love with the setting. The problem was that the center diamond had a dark inclusion, and I just could not get over it. With regret, I could not keep it. For the past 10 years I have been haunted by this ring. I would look at the photos and videos I had taken of it and I think it was the prettiest ring I ever saw. Finally, I realized that I could take an unset old cut diamond from my collection and with the always improving jewelry design technology, my ring could perhaps be recreated. I think the key was that I had so many photos and videos of the original. In any case, I really love how it turned out, thank you for noticing!

(Here is the origional antique ring with the imperfect center diamond).

Oh wow that first setting really is special! I'm so happy you got to recreate it with a better diamond

Love it. Some say it's garnet, some say it's Tourmalines cones. Either way I want this one too😍
Yes, I wondered if it could be tourmalines! I wonder if they are very similar for testing purposes. I just got a (China Regional excluslusive?) Garnet Clash from Fashionphile which was an item I had never heard of and also made no sense to me (why red garnets?) I know rubies are much more expensive, but I had to wonder if they are red tourmalines instead since tourmalines make more sense considering Cartier’s usual gemstones (though I suppose we see the red garnet in the berlingots line, as one example off the top of my mind).

Your diamond Menotte pieces are so edgy and so elegant at the same time. They are really show-stoppers. I hope you find the garnet/tourmaline to add a splash of color to your collection down the road
