In Honor of Elsa Peretti- Please Post Your Favorite Pieces

[BigAkoya]

I love the aegean collection as well. i almost bought the yellow gold large bracelet but ended up going with something else (diamond pendant as i would get more wear out of it).
I really want the large bracelet still, and id love the necklace but id want it much shorter than the length they sell it (more sitting on my collar bones).
Anyways here are some photos of it
Also forgot my DBTY earrings and an else paretti rose gold bangle haha

It's gorgeous on you! I think I need to try it on again. I tried it on when it first came out years ago, but the bracelet was so long (I think the large silver one is 8"). You have inspired me try it on again next time I'm at a Tiffany.

I am the opposite of you on necklaces; I like them long. For me, if I decide to get the bracelet, I would want the matching 30" necklace, so I want long!

Love your pieces!

This is my humble elsa paretti collection. I would say my favourite is the DBTY/CBTY. i recently got a big purchase so i may not get this for a while but id love a dbty 7 stone bracelet and a tiffany metro wide to stack together. (photo from the store, not mine sadly).
TCo just knows bling for sure.

I love your Aegan! I think those links are so gorgeous! The curve and flow. Mod shot please if you are not shy.

Who cares about Cuban and paperclip links, the Aegean to me is so artistic!

I love the Aegean collection as well. It looks great on you @JessicaRabbit1. I also love that it's not instantly recognizable Elsa Peretti.

What a fabulous idea! For me, I would ask Tiffany to make two stud earrings, one link for each ear. Now you have be excited! Yes, I want the larger one... it's super bold which I love. The bracelet was super long too which I did not love, but I love love love your idea! Thanks so much for sharing.

Again... the use of the extra links in a necklace is brilliant!

thank you very much ! I am happy to hear there is another aegean lover out there. she did a great job designing the piece.

Thats a great idea as well. If they are able to do it, it would be awesome to see !
As you said you liked the necklace long, if you purchased the same metal, if the necklace and bracelet have the same clasp you might be able tojoin them together to make a longer collar necklace? what do you think of this?

I would probably not join as I'm a purist and do not like one piece to be multi-purpose. I never think it looks great. I buy other jewelry where there is a long necklace and matching bracelet with motifs. Many people who purchase the shorter 16.5" necklace like to join the necklace and bracelet, but the clasp shows, and I personally think it's ugly. It's 100% preference of course. Ironically, my preferred length of long necklace is 34" - 38" (30" is on the short side for me without a big pendant) so joining the bracelet would actually hit the spot.

I was thinking how I would wear the pieces because the large links are very bold... If I buy the 30", I'd have a nice long necklace. The bracelet would be shortened by two links, so I would have earrings. However, yikes... that's a lot of huge links on me which is probably going to be over the top for me. It's not like say, VCA, where the motifs are much smaller, and it's fine to pile on.

I am going to have to play with it. Of course, this assume Tiffany will make earrings, which I am not sure whey will. I've asked in the past to do some tweaking, and they have said no.

Yes, I would purchase both in silver. I'm a white metal gal (Plat, then WG is my preferred metal of choice), and Perretti's bold er pieces seem to only come in silver as the white metal. I was hoping Tiffany would do the bone cuff in WG as part of the anniversary celebration, but they did not. I guess there is no incentive to use WG as so many people already have it in silver.

Hi EP fans! Dropping by to share my new snake ring. I’ve coveted this piece from afar for a long time, but in person she’s even better than I expected. The body of the snake is gently curved, even on the underside. I have a small collection of snake rings, and this is the only one with this feature and by far the most comfortable.

Love! The snake bracelet and ring have been on my radar for a while, thanks for sharing that it’s pretty AND comfy!

The snake bracelet is also on my list! I really want to try it on, but I got the sense that my local boutique rarely has it. I’ll probably need to buy it online if I ever want to see it.

I have loved looking at everyones DBTY pieces. I love the sprinkle by the yard necklace in yg but it is a bit out of my price range. Has any one ever seen another brand do one similar? I cannot find one that is nearly as beautiful as the tiffany version.

Hi! Have you tried Roberto Coin? I have the 15 station, 34”(?) diamonds by the inch, and although not as spectacular as the EP version, I really enjoy wearing it. I also have the 5 station necklace that I sometimes add on to create a layered look. I find his pieces good value for the look and quality. Hope that helps!

Can you save a bit longer and get it? I know me, and if I compromise, I will still end up wanting the piece I truly love.

Just a thought. Hope it helps and good luck to you! DBTYs are beautiful.

Yes youre right, i am eith you, i will wonder abput the real thing and then i think the money spent on something similar could just get added to help pay for the real thing.

I went into tiffany on the weekend and tried on the single DBTY. You are all right, nothing seems to compare to the tiffany version. I tried on a similar one at another jeweller and it did not feel the same. Nothing beats the real thing!

I agree with you on Tiffany DBTY. Everyone tries to copy the design, but Tiffany DBTY has no equal.

It’s the diamond cut but also how Tiffany does the bezel that makes the necklace so beautiful. The bezel setting is a big part of it to me; others cannot create that same floating look and sparkle.

Good luck to you!

It’s available in sterling silver, if you‘re not averse to it. It’s much more affordable.
