I would not question your personal aesthetic; matching jewellery to handbag hardware is of concern to many.
But I wonder how important, or how noticed it is? If a wedding ring is yellow gold, does that mean that all metal jewellery should be yellow gold too and also bag hardware?i
I remember a time when shoes, handbags and gloves would be expected to match; the former probably coming from the same shoemaker like Rayne. Was that the 'classic, elegant look' to which you referred. For some now, that would been considered too 'matchy matchy'.
A classic bag has now achieved a presence of its own; perhaps you could look bag at some photographs of Princess Grace and be guided by her.

You bring up a good point! Matchy matchy seems dated to me. It’s more a point of clarity. I need to differentiate. A BBK ghw is classic. My jewelry is white gold/palladium hardware. I do not want one to conflict with the other.
To be fair, the Kelly is worn on a different part of my body & each have their distinctive allure & may enhance each other
I am probably overthinking this
Thanks for your thoughts!

Congratulations! I waited a little but over a year too (I received the same specs but with GHW). I feel so fortunate this color came back into season and I'm so glad I didn't cave in to get a bagI didn't love as much. Wear your new baby in good health. What a beauty. I love the PHW. :loveeyes:
