This post is everything ! Thank you❤️Love these! Am so happy for you! You loook amazing!
@BigAkoya, i read your post to DH bc we are taking the train from MIlan to Rome, and he said i already have the closest facsimile to the Elizabeth Taylor serpenti lol.
Thank you all for your kind wishes! @missie1, if your friends are in Milan and are at all interested in VCA, i highly recommend a visit to see their exhibit.
A lot of Milano women wear (quite a lot of ) VCA pave Pave PAVE hereIn the central part of Milan where we are, the Milanese are mainly in four inch heels (even with cobblestones?????), small hermes exotics, like mini kelly, and VCA and flowy long dresses like Zimmerman? (calling @Notorious Pink ) At breakfast, ive seen Milanese with bright colored 32 kelly retourne (i oddly have seen only one birkin, and that was a 35 orange on an American).
The well heeled American tourists are wearing mainly chanel 19 or CFs in larger sizes and Hermes Oran’s With skimpier dresses than the Italians. A lot of men walk around wearing suits and white H sneakers. @Allisonfaye , by complete accident, we happen to be staying in the same hotel as Brunello Cuchinelli (we saw him across the breakfast room) and also the Ferrari team (Formula 1) (The waitstaff at the hotel are very excited about formula 1) The milanese on the street or the tourists fron other parts of Italy are wearing big YG jewelry and bags like YSL puffers and Bottega Daniel Lee (puffy cassette) and Fendi (The updated baguette) The kids are bizarrely wearing short denim overalls?????? And converse Hi tops (no idea why) Or flowy high waisted jeans and tiny tops. The bags are getting bigger.
The Russian tourists seem very tall, slim, beautiful and are wearing small tops (think cut outs and ties and halters) and leather flowing pants even though its hot outside. I decided to take the VCA 6 motif (bc its GMOP, i figured it was like travel jewelry bc GMOP) and my tiny bulgari serpenti viper ring. My wrists feel very bare Lol. I only brought a dior men’s saddle and a mini Loewe crossbody, so i look like a tourist, but not necessarily American (until i open my mouth)! Tonight we went to the inaugural symphony at Teatro a la Scala (Verdi orchestra) Then we went to dinner with a third floor view of the DUomo, and the Teatro Alla Scala orchestra was doing an outside performance. I wore the six motif and a dior palm skirt. People were dressed up with big BIG jewlery. I saw a lot of Alhambram but pave, not stones. I wish you all could have been with us hugs
p.s. everyone seems to be eating a lot of gelato, risotto, pasta, carbs, bread, focaccia, but they are very thin?????? How, I do not know.
p.p.s. The Milan VCA is very well stocked. The VCA shortages in the US do not seem applicable here. There is a lot of VCA in Milan. In case anyone wants to visit and shop Here, there is a full case of BTF rings in diamonds; and pins, necklaces galore. And WG.
thank you @HADASSA for your kind words below! The event was the opening of the Dior exhibit and cocktail in NYC the night before I left. I decided to just wear my moms ring and a baroque grey pearl and WG necklace that seemed most in keeping with diors dark fairy tale aesthetic. I decided the clothes should be the star Lol, so no diamonds or (other) branded jewelry. I posted some pics of the event in the dior RTW thread, but here is one with DH and my Dior SA who kindly arranged for our invitation. (I am not a VIP in terms of spend, but I have a great relationship and a lot of fun with my SA who I actually met as a walk in during covid).

The day has come.... well these beauties were paid off a month ago but it is the first day I am wearing my new earrings! I chose
To wear it dressed down and realised that they are pretty dang easy to wear with just about anything! LoveView attachment 5191887View attachment 5191888
These earrings are AMAAAAZING!! and you are soooo pretty!
Thank you! I feel that though my collection is rather small (Phoenix would laugh at me calling my pieces a collection haha) it’s so versatile to wear with just about anything! Thanks to everyone on this chat for enabling
Phoenix honestly it’s been your enabling and VCA education that helped me get those! So I and my wallet thank you for that!

NO WAY!! You do have an amazing collection!
We're almost twins on magic pave pendant and def twins on the Lotus ring.
Thank you beautiful lady! I am seriously considering the magic single earrings next but in my mind it’s like VCA VCA Cartier pave love VCA VCA! I did sell those juste un clous in the end so I need a replacement bracelet.... but timeless... maybe perlee? What say you?NO WAY!! You do have an amazing collection!

You sold your JUC's? I only vaguely remember this. Are they pave?
I'm like you, struggling to decide what to get next. I've been lusting after an all pave JUC in WG. And, I've wanted a RG pave Love for yeeaaars and the price keeps going up on me - going from SGD52k when I first laid eyes on it to SGD63k now!!
I love my ceramic pave WG Love, so my vote is that, or the all diamond one in WG. Which pave Love do you have in mind?
The 1-row diamond Perlee bracelet is another on my wishlist. I may end up getting this one first, as it's the "cheapest" (insert rolling eyes here) of all the bracelets on my wishlist. Have you tried that one on? It's super super blingy. Quite a few members on here have it, so that just fuels my passion and lust for it!! If you haven't tried it on, then I would.
But I think a pave Love is more iconic, if that's what you're after. Or for something super feminine, a Perlee Clover in WG.
Not being of any help, am I?

I only had 2 clous in wg and yg, no pave at all. So what’s the difference? I thought your one was all pave? Where’s ceramic in there?You sold your JUC's? I only vaguely remember this. Are they pave?

I have tried the perlee one row and three rows in pave and loved them! In general, I do not like the look of stacking gold bracelets,
So I need to be super precise what I get as it will be on its own haha!
I do like perlee clover one (not the new ones) and it’s a choice actually!
speaking of high prices, out of curiosity I was comparing a pair of dangly panther earrings from vs 3
Motif magic (they are same price) and for the same amount of money you get almost twice the weight of diamonds in VCA vs Cartier! I was really surprised! I never thought that Cartier would be more expensive than VCA but if you meticulously compare it, it is really so.
the price of the love pave is eye watering
to add: the all pave clou price is ridiculous. I mean; having had the two gold ones I wouldn’t go for the pave one... for that price I’d find something special (only my opinion)
I just googled your ceramic one and it’s a BEAUT!!!!You sold your JUC's? I only vaguely remember this. Are they pave?

Yes, Cartier prices are absolutely ridiculous!! The Loves have gone up soooo much last few years!
Why wouldn't you want a JUC pave? Why did you sell your 2? Do you not like how they look or is something wrong with the mechanism? I know the regular non-pave Loves are a real PITA to put on and take off.
I love love love the 3-row diamond Perlee. If you only want one to wear on its own and not for stacking, that'd be the one I'd get. Either that or the all pave WG Love. (I know, I am enabling you here, haha).
Total fabulosity!The day has come.... well these beauties were paid off a month ago but it is the first day I am wearing my new earrings! I chose

Can’t get enough of these
The thing about white diamonds is that they go with everything - which in jewelry math makes the cost per wear over time go down
You look amazing
