Hello everyone!

I have about a $3500 budget given to me by my fiance to choose a present, but I have no idea what to get!! I've looked at VCA, Cartier, Tiffany and some custom made places for yellow or pink diamond jewelry, but I still can't make up my mind! I would like to choose something special and meaningful, but after getting my love bracelet for our 4 year anniversary, I have nothing on my wish list that would fit in terms of sentiment. So, I'm hoping you guys could help throw out suggestions! I don't own anything from VCA, so have been heavily considering them, but haven't yet found anything that would mean something to me. I would really really appreciate any help and suggestions you have :D!!!

Hi,

Thanks for your response! I am looking for an everyday piece- I'm pretty hard on my jewelry, so looking for something durable. That soleste necklace is a great suggestion, I didn't realize it came in smaller sizes! Definitely one to consider, thanks so much!!

hmm, so I just checked with Tiffany and they said they don't make the soleste in smaller sizes outside of those on their website. Any other suggestions??

Hi OP! I was in a similar situation last week. I had a similar budget and DH offered me a gift for 20th anniversary. It was between getting 2 Van Cleef items before the July 1 price increase or a 3tcw tennis bracelet. He ended up surprising me with the tennis bracelet! I already have a WG plain Cartier Love bangle and a RG plain Cartier Love cuff. Would you consider a tennis bracelet? The Van Cleef items I was leaning towards was the magic heart single motif in MOP and a sweetie bracelet. But I'm quite happy with the tennis bracelet!

^^^ I was about to suggest a tennis bracelet!

kjw46 May I ask you give a rough idea of the kind and style of pieces you already own and enjoy? That way we might be able to see a gap in your current collection.

Hey Guys!

Thanks for the response. I have a 1 ctw 24k gold tennis bracelet, a rose gold love bracelet, a vintage tiffany watch, a tag heuer, a chopard watch with diamonds all around the face, diamond studs, a tiffany yellow gold key, tiffany white gold atlas ring with 3 diamonds, 2 platinum diamond eternity bands, the tiffany platinum band with 1 diamond, carolina bucci lucky bracelet, a platinum cuff with diamonds and that's all I can think of off the top of my head. These pieces vary as my everyday pieces. I love pieces that I can wear on a daily basis that hold sentimental value and I'm pretty rough on my jewelry. I've been considering the cartier caresse d'orchidees par cartier ring in pink gold with diamonds (with two flowers) or the tiffany garden round earrings in platinum as some of my top choices, but would love love more suggestions!!! Please let me know what you think of my current choices as well!! My budget actually increased a little to $4, 000. Thanks again!!!

Thank you hokaplan for your tennis bracelet suggestion. Yours sounds gorgeous!!! That is definitely a consideration as well, I was thinking of a diamond and ruby tennis bracelet maybe as well! I really really would love a VCA piece (my first!) but haven't had any real attachment to anything I've seen yet. I think I need to visit the store in person!!

Oh wow, good to know!! I'm glad to hear that, the woman said it would have to be custom made and thus over 10, 000 lol. I guess I'll just have to stop by the store myself!! Thanks for the info candice and kohl!!
