I realized that I am a Diamond stud stalker. That’s the first thing I notice and check out when I see other ladies. I am obsessed with upgrading my studs. I need to figure out how large I can go so that this is my final upgrade. I was wondering what jewelry items do you ladies stalk

how large did you decide to go? i Seem to recall you have stunning studs and butterfly studs already plus that fabulous Maria Tash one! no need for an upgrade lol!
I love to see others wearing fabulous oversized men’s watches or vintage jewelry
i also still dream about a chanel brooch, David Webb and seaman Schweppes combo from @Comfortably Numb
oh, and anything carved chalcedony (the color of which sadly makes my complexion turn grey)

I totally forgot about the butterfly studs lol as I’ve been wearing my serious studs past few months. I think 5 carats is my HG size but I could settle for 4 carats tcw. I have to be realistic as I have other items I want. To upgrade.30 points each ear is almost 20k and I’m not sure how I feel about that. Also the Maria stash I already want to upgrade soon as it’s healed. It’s a sickness lol.
You have fabulous taste and your pieces are so chic so I need to see a visual of the brooch your stalking lol.
haha, pretty much any fine jewelry but I too especially love diamonds! 
Tbh, doesn't really matter where they come from, as long as the quality and setting are good!
I've got a thing for earrings and bracelets. But my earlobes are weird, I have one that's attached and the other is unattached/free so I need to buy certain designs that don't look uneven lol.
In terms of brands, I have been especially looking at the VCA Alhambra collection and the Bvgarli bracelets.
Mainly because I don't own a VCA piece and I'd like to, just takes me a long time to decide on what I want (like years lol). And I've been eyeing the beautiful Serpenti bracelet collection, especially the one with diamonds!! So stunning!
(but I'm currently in a more committed relationship with Moynat and Hermes so that will have to wait a bit 
)
I am on the websites pretty often, I know I'll probably buy them at one point or another, when I'm ready.
But then again, I also love watches, so I'm always kind of torn whether to buy fine jewelry vs a watch, haha

I once had a beautiful sold gold and diamond bezel set bracelet; a large solid wheat bracelet with a diamond clasp; a Ceylon sapphire and diamond two-tone bracelet; and an antique diamond and platinum ring that was roughly 100 years old.
I had to sell them along with some other pieces. Even though I sold them many years ago, I miss them to this day. I wish I’d not been in the position where I had to sell them, but I needed the money. My dream would be to buy them back. I‘m constantly on the lookout for pieces like those, even though I can’t afford to buy that kind of thing anymore! I stalk jewellery sites on a regular basis. On a lighter note, window shopping is free, lol!

I love earrings and bracelets also. A well curated arm is everything. I fell down the rabbit hole for VCA this year and got several Alhambra bracelets. They are amazing and so addictive. Which ones Are you considering? The Serpenti is so amazing and I have debated about adding one as wellhaha, pretty much any fine jewelry but I too especially love diamonds!

I'm a diamond-stud stalker too. Real, lab, colored diamonds. I keep ogling all of them. I'm at heart a pearl earring gal so that's why I haven't pulled the trigger. I'm also pretty physically active, always losing earrings, so CZs are my go-to. I don't relish the thought of losing expensive earrings. So I guess I'll remain a window-watcher.
It's certain designs for me, I don't mind whether they're silver, y/r/wg or plat. I suppose it's because I think of jewellery as an extension of dressing and so I'm looking for pieces to either provide the focus for minimalist dressing or harmonise with a different expression. I'm not so much into diamonds and/or colour stones, not to stalk anyway.
Preloved, I usually I look for Modernist or 'brutalist' jewellery. If I could afford Andrew Grima pieces I would hunt them down and bag them.
I seem to be slightly obsessed by Cartier's Trinity. 3s and multiples thereof are my lucky numbers. They are both stable and unstable, symmetrical and asymmetrical, odd and even.
I like VCA's onyx Alhambra and Lucky pieces, but where I am there's so much VCA (lots of Cartier too, especially Love). I'm not really into diamonds or translucent coloured stones (perhaps Alexandrite) but against all of what I normally go for, what I'd really like is VCA's Zip Necklace, but I'm afraid that will remain a dream, I look at these when the world is too much:

The Zip necklace - Van Cleef & Arpels
A masterpiece of ingenuity, the Zip necklace stands out as one of Van Cleef & Arpels’ boldest creations. In the late 1930s, Renée Puissant, the Maison's Artistic Director and daughter of Estelle Arpels and Alfred Van Cleef, set out to develop a piece of jewelry inspired by the zipper. This idea...

New to fine jewellery. Mainly fancy Cartier and Bulgari.
And only bracelet and ring for now. I don't stalk earrings and necklace and watch (thank goodness).
Also I like to study gems (and the astrology behind them).

Colored precious and semi-precious gemstones. The more unusual the cut the better. I love seeing others wear unique pieces, shopping for them, and wearing them myself.
Drop earrings - I just love them, branded or unbranded. I just bought a pair of estate Bvlgari Parentesi drop earrings in yellow gold on Ebay.
Yellow diamond and Ceylon blue sapphire rings although I love looking at and wearing lots of different coloured gemstones.
Cartier Panthere and Tank watches in solid yellow gold. I just can’t justify the cost and don’t have the lifestyle for a gold watch, but nonetheless, I’m drawn to them like a bee to honey
One day...
I’m all about the thrill of the hunt, so love stalking and then (hopefully) buying pieces for a great price!

I am looking at the black onyx. I tend to like more durable pieces that have versatility. I have heard that onyx is a little more hardwearing and of course black goes with everything! So I'm sure it'll be a good staple to start off with.

Haha, watches will definitely throw you down the rabbit hole for sure! (if you ever get into them)
