So much talk of Orange Boite, I feel inspired to give you additional support for getting that gorgeous Orange Boite color coral bracelet!

Here are some old photos I dug up for inspiration.

Presenting…. Orange Boite (indoors and outdoors) to match that gorgeous bracelet!

Hi! Well, I just purchased a pair of coral earrings, so of course I say yes! I was thinking $15-20k, and then @BigAkoya echoed that range, but I would probably stop at $20k. It looks good from the photo, I expect from early 2000s, I have the same era in a turquoise piece, it should be after the circular clasp, the first lobster clasp, and the setting is not quite modern but not the older style either with much longer prongs. I am so happy you found this unicorn to go with your gorgeous pendant!

I knew you would come through, gf!! :hugs: Your knowledge is amazing! :queen:

This is so interesting to me because I was thinking that the production of coral had stopped much earlier, but you are definitely right... the setting is not 1:1 with the pendant which I think is much older... :heart:

ETA: I am demanding that you text me pics of your new earrings. :graucho: :hugs:

I am imagining this beautiful coral bracelet with your blonde hair and summer tan! Just dying! So glad I could help out with a little background info! :heart:
We absolutely need to swap photos on our new pieces! I will text you some pics of mine once they come back from the workshop. I am getting posts added. I can't wait to see your bracelet and all of its glory when it comes home to you.

First, thanks @jenayb for posting the photo, the stones look great, it is the lobster clasp, but earlier like our fab @nicole0612 stated above, so the prongs aren’t as rounded but also not as stick like as the circular clasps. I do think the coral is gorgeous, and it should look great in any stack, since coral is close to YG and RG. I did a quick search for you and I couldn’t find any coral with more-rounded prongs, so I think this bracelet is as good as it’ll get with coral. Price wise, it’s so personal.

Let us know what you decide hon!

Amazing advice, gf. Thank you! I agree with you that the bracelet is amazing in terms of both prongs and colour. Thank you so much for validating this. Although perhaps my husband wouldn’t be as thankful - but that’s his problem. :roflmfao:

I had to stop and breathe for a second. Lord this is absolutely stunning. The color is perfect and the gold hardware against it just makes it divine! Definitely a show stopper. Can’t help on the price but worth it for sure.

Oh no! I hate when that happens :sad: Can she find one elsewhere and transfer it in? Also your SA can (or should be able to) ask what’s in the VCA pipeline for pieces being created and scheduled to come to the US soon … if there is one being made for the states you can pay a deposit (or in full - depending on your stores requirements) and secure it so that you get first dibs stateside. I’ve gotten a few hard to get pieces this exact way and they often come sooner rather than later.

I’m based in Melbourne, Australia :) My SA can transfer anything over if available in Australia. That’s how I lost the one I saw in store as well, it got transferred and sold to Sydney. Fingers crossed there will be another one soon enough. I will for sure check back into this thread with a photo :)

I hope it comes soon! It’s a gorgeous piece and it belongs with those two motif earrings - which are impossible to get so you’re lucky to have them in your collection!
