Tony DuQuette Coach Jewelry - The Second Time Around!

[musiclover]

I remember the Tony Duquette line and I bought a bangle but returned it. Now I wish I had kept it! It was enamel in a pink and purple pattern.

katev, I love love love your purse charm! I remember wanting it originally but I was afraid it might scratch the leather of my bags. Silly me! Should have just taken the chance. It's so beautiful!

I haven't had a problem with it scratching. I've heard people had that problem with the ice cream cone.

whateve, do you mean the leather ice cream cone purse charm with the crystals attached to the front? Or was there another ice cream cone charm I can't remember?

 

[katev]

Yes, I do. I haven't worn it in a while. I really need to pull it out.

I'm that way too! I buy some new piece of jewelry and I love it and wear it a lot, and then I put it away and forget it about it and wait for the next shiny new thing to come along! I really should inventory and organize my jewelry!

Not the leather one. The metal one with crystals.

...I had kind of a love-hate relationship with the TD jewelry, I bought several pieces and eventually returned all of them. I thought that items were beautiful, but many of them were quite large and rather flashy. I remember wearing the charm bracelet around the house and it felt clunky and the sunburst charms kept catching on my clothes. But later, I came to regret my decision to return ALL of my TD items, because they were unusual and beautiful and also because larger jewelry has become more popular in recent years...]

...I bought the bracelet on FOS for about $30. Eventually I decided it was too clunky for me and returned it. I love the jewels on it but I prefer them to be the size of those on the fob. I love the antique look of the jewelry.

That seems to be a recurring theme here! Several of us bought TD coach jewelry but returned it and may have come to question and/or regret those decisions.

The Tony Duquette Coach pieces were beautiful and well-made, and there were some great prices available at the outlets and on FOS; but it was rather large and flashy jewelry. Yet that was a long time ago and things have changed - just think about how big the fobs are nowadays! The coach Tony motif line was just ahead of its time!

I picked up a few items from this collection, I got two bangles and the very expensive purple necklace and I need to wear it more often because it's beautiful.

Here is the thread where I revealed my pear necklace: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/a-little-pce-bauble-reveal.735803/

Gorgeous!

In case someone is interested, here is a listing for the pear necklace on ebay for $98 including shipping (NMA), see link below.

Just to let you know, it is a very long chain (like my sunburst necklace) as you can see in the drill down mannequin pic below.

Thank you for this amazing picture, katev! I see my bracelet, in the second row with the pink and purple enamel and star pattern. Wish I had kept it now...I think I bought (and sold) the matching ring as well! Argh...talk about Coach regrets.

I bought the flower bouqet ring when it came out...I hardly wear it because its VERY heavy and I have small hands. lol. It's quite lovely and definitely a statement piece though.

This is the piece that I had previously bought and returned, the Sunburst Necklace 95928 GD GD. It originally sold for $148 and I bought it for $81 from the FOS, but decided to return it because it is so large and long.

But I recently came across it online for $35 - the auction picture was poor but I decided to take a chance because it was so cheap. When it came I saw that it was still very large and long - but that it was in pristine condition! I have enjoyed wearing it this week and have gotten a few compliments (probably because it's hard to miss!) but I am happy that I've gotten it back again!
