Yeah, the alternating Victoria bracelet. It’s what I got last year, instead of the bird on the rock brooch…Wow your bracelet! Is that the Tiffany Victoria?

Well, I bought the sixteen stone ring today… Now that I’m priced out of the bird on a rock :’)
It is a stunning piece!
You mentioned this bird on the rock a few times, can you post a pic so we can see what you are pining for?
You bought a really beautiful piece in the sixteen stone. I think I remember your thread about what to buy when you were considering the victoria, were you considering a butterlfy brooch as well? For what it's worth, I think you'll get much more wear out of your victoria than the bird on a rock. Has the secondhand market prices caught up with the retail increase yet? Or do they even come on the market that often?
I did a quick search. It looks like the bird on a rock usually sells for around 30–40k. Not that I could find any current listings. Surprising that the resell value is slightly higher than the retail price was at the time.
You’re right. A bracelet gets more wear. I wear my bracelet every day. I think it’s just typical buyer’s remorse. I just never thought the brooch would end up costing more than the bracelet, especially in under a year’s time. I made my purchase in July.
My SA and I were both shocked. She said it was bizarre, because nothing about the brooch has changed to warrant such a drastic price jump. It has never been that popular, and the stone (citrine/amethyst) isn’t rare or valuable. Also, the brooch was much less expensive than other pieces at Tiffany. Now a chunk of citrine/amethyst is worth more than some high jewelry pieces. She thinks that the price will go down, because the pricing doesn’t make any sense.
The price hike was insane -and this is a world where we now see Chanel hike leather 5 times a year....crazy. Perhaps it will go down - but wouldn't the company lose face by cutting prices so drastically?
Would you actually wear the brooch? I think it's a stunning work of art....but I would really struggle to wear something like it. I know people say it jazzes up a black jacket but generally when I'm wearing a black jacket I'm going to work or something sombre, where I can't really wear such a eye-catching piece.
Wow! Absolutely beautiful!Chipping in
Pairing my Schlumberger and Cartier together today: I think they actually look great together despite quite a drastic mix of metals!

I have always wanted this ring!Hi @MatAllston I did not ask because they were definitely out of my budget haha)))). I had a look at other pieces though for which I've got the pricing.
For example this one, Platinum/18K Yellow Gold Stitches Diamond Ring is 45,900 SGD.

I can appreciate the price tag for unique pieces with fantastic workmanship but soleste pieces with quite average stones and very standard settings feel extremely overpriced to me. They had a Soleste kunzite ring for a fortune over there and I have an independently sourced stone at home with much better colour, untreated and for a fraction of the price as well.
