I so relate to this!! I am banning myself but it is so hard... i do think even though i dont have a big VCA collection, i may be quite done with VCA for now. I think i may be going on one of those (i dont want to be all mainstream) mode again where i prefer more low key brands. Am now slightly tempted by Boucheron but will take my time to consider if it will integrate into my current collections/ style. There are certainly alot that i still love from VCA, but due to some of my fussy OCD quirks, they end up not being perfect for me and i took them off my wishlist.

I agree with you... if you don't love the piece for any reason, skip. Just because it's VCA won't make you love it anymore once you buy it and are in your own environment (out of TPF VCA world).

There are VCA pieces I love, but that piece will have a tiny aspect that annoys me (e.g. Cosmos bezel, 16 motif long chaing gaps), so I pass. You'll know when you really love something, but if you feel you are forcing it just to buy something VCA, I would skip.

There are a lot of other brands out there, including as you said, Boucheron.
Boucheron is one of the greats, one of the oldest French luxury jewelry houses (Mellerio get the prize for being the oldest). I'm not sure where you live, but Boucheron has a lot more presence in Europe and Asia than in the US. Their high jewelry collections, to me speak of royalty, they are magnificent (browse the High Jewelry pieces on their website... it's gorgeous to me). I would love to own anything from the High Jewelry Art Deco collection.

Their stock pieces are also beautiful; I like that some are very architectural, art deco. I love the Lisere collection, especially the aquamarine ring.

I vote yes to Boucheron!

White gold day! Guilloche and clover
Added the WG clover to the Cartier love set for variety and be less matchy-matchy
Really wanted to wear RG and WG serpentis at the same time, and thought the RG and WG perlees may work as dividers

I love your modshots and your bling! You have an amazing collection.
I love love love you in WG... it's so elegant and blingy on you, a nice glamorous bling. Just gorgeous.

I am really liking your WG guilloche. Did you get the earrings too by chance? If yes, I'd love to see a modshot.
I'm still looking for a buddy for my WG Clover, and I like your WG Clover with the WG guilloche. Both pieces have that polished metal shine which I think matches well, and that I find lacking in the WG Hammered/pave.

Will the 20 move around and then not be as neat as intended? My SA said it would move and will not look as neat as what we will see in advertising photos. That SA seemed to stir me away from purchasing items and then I changed the SA. :smile: It looks like wearing it double looks nicer.

I wonder if members here add clips at the back to clip it up.

Thanks for the mod shots.
