I don't like things like a watch or a Frivole ring in yellow gold. I like watches either in pink or white. Frivole Ring in white gold, haven't tried it in pink. Maybe it was a small call that I did not notice (and somewhere far inside I always loved rose gold). The more yellow gold in volume and weight the more it hits me in the eyes and the more don’t like this?)))
What do you think? Does yellow gold suit me? Or pink?

Thank you for all the lovely pictures. I actually think all three golds - yellow, rose and white - look amazing on you. Truly! Cartier’s rose gold is less rose as compared to VCA and especially Rolex. So, it’s a nice option for those who are undecided between yellow and rose gold.

I know rose gold has suddenly become more popular so you see a lot of people gravitating towards it but what I truly love about rose gold is it’s subtlety, elegance and softness. I could care less what is popular or unpopular. What I care is how it looks on me. And that’s what made me build my capsule jewelry collection around rose gold pieces. White gold looks too harsh in my skin tone and yellow gold too, well, yellow :cool:

I agree with you that rose gold and white gold look great together. And since you like white gold, any rose or white gold pieces you buy can be complementary to each other and can be work together or on their own. I am not a fan of combining yellow gold with white gold pieces but that’s me.

I know of so many wonderful ladies here who own pieces in all three golds and that’s again an option for you. Even though you own yellow gold pieces, you can still add future pieces in rose and white gold. You can wear your love bracelet and white mop 5 motif together. And when you get more rose and white gold pieces, you can wear rose and white gold together. But, I wouldn’t mix yellow with rose or white gold.

The RG clash bracelet with your RG clash ring looks so pretty! I am the matchy matchy kinds so I always try to get two matching or coordinating pieces to wear together.

Again, no right or wrong choices here. Only get what you instinctively, insanely feel love for. The worst we can do is settle for something. For the crazy prices we pay, we should be irrevocably, undeniably be in love with what we buy.

I didn't want to take it off but the price of almost 4 million was quite the deterrent. :biggrin:

Yes... VCA colored gemstone pieces are so gorgeous, but so crazy expensive, at least to me.
And yes again... $4M is a bit above my budget for a single piece!
I don't even dream this big as my dream will never come true. :nuts::heart:
The big VIPs who buy these pieces...

The necklace was 'only' $1 mil! I was surprised at the cost but it was truly a very special sapphire. My husband purchased my first high jewelry piece at the party-- albeit much, much less. :lol: There was apparently one in the world and it's being flown in from Paris.

I also think you wear all three metals well. So it is not out of the question for you to have sets in all three metals. But I am in agreement that I do not really like yg worn with wg or pg. I do think pg can be worn with white gold (and platinum). Especially since your wedding rings are white metal and you prefer watches in white or pink, I'd probably focus on collecting complimentary pieces in white and pink gold. I mainly wear white metals, but I'd love the chance to try on certain pg pieces for some variety!

In my home country, 585 red gold was very popular. And it was straight pink, not like Rolex everose color, more red. And we had this gold on many women. Plus, there were gypsies in this gold from head to toe in the markets. And because of the constant flickering in the eyes of red gold, a prejudice formed in me. And it seemed to me that the pink color of gold made me look more like a piggie. Of course, these jewelry cannot be compared to Van Cleef and Cartier. And the tones of gold are definitely different. When 18K yellow gold came from America and Europe, it felt like a breath of fresh air and something out of the ordinary. Now that there was an opportunity to buy something, I didn’t even look in the direction of rose gold. Exceptionally yellow-white. Still really love white. (Although I always dreamed of a watch in pink, not yellow). And now, living in Europe and seeing a lot of yellow gold on Instagram or a lot oriental yellow gold, I find yellow gold a little bit too flashy. And pink now seems to me more calm, noble and elegant))) Quiet luxury. Plus, I think that pink gold goes well with white. Everything I have measured before is highlighted in yellow. The only Clash ring that I really like the design, but it's not quite pink either. The only thing I found in the archives was how I tried a Bulgari bracelet in rose gold in Airport (this bracelet is also my dream, ah). But to understand which color of gold suits me best, it is probably better to try on the same item in both yellow and pink in different hand.

Love your engagement ring! If you don't mind my asking, is that the Cartier 1895 setting?
