I've never found Chopard to be dated. Some pieces I'm not fond of - but I wouldn't say they are dated.

Well, in my opinion, nothing is ever really "dated".
I believe that it's just a matter of personal preference. As for me, I have yet to find something I really want from Chopard; I guess it's not my style.
But if you love it, and it is your style, then surely it's not dated![]()
I think of Chopard floating diamonds as a classic designer piece. According to this online article the Happy diamonds design came out in 1976 and they're still making it, so that shows me it's pretty classic. I didn't even realize it was around that long, I feel like I only started noticing the happy floating pieces in magazine ads in the late 90's or early 2000, I'm not with it lol.

I think if the aesthetics of the brand appeal to you, than it doesn't matter whether it's in or out, stylish or unstylish, or whatever. After all, taste is subjective and some ppl appreciate clean, minimalist lines, while others appreciate fantasy and whimsy (how I tend to see Chopard), etc. etc. Luckily, there is something out there for everyone!![]()
Chopard gets a lot of press on the red carpet (their extraordinarily expensive pieces are spectacular), but maybe a some of their pieces that I happen to adore (floating diamond ANYTHING), others could see as lacking sophistication or too young. Who is to say, really. In any case, that individual is certainly entitled to their opinion, but no matter what, I know I will happily wear my pretty pieces for as long as I want to.
Dated though, I don't think so. At all. I think it's more of a question of taste, which again, is entirely subjective.
There are actually many popular jewelry pieces that hold zero appeal for me. As with anything though, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I subscribe to the wear whatever you want, whenever you want (sparkly) school of thought!![]()
