The Onyx is amazing. I have Onyx WG and waiting on SO Onyx RG.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.

Now I have to go check out Andrew Grima to see his designs. I never see anyone irl wearing Cartier or VCA. I find Cartier to be very sleek and minimalistic in design whereas VCA tends to feel very feminine and flirty. That Zip necklace is so fabulous omg I’m amazed at some of VCA designs.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...www.vancleefarpels.com
Yes, I get the same vibe from Cartier and VCA! My style is not particularly feminine or girly which is partially why I haven't really pulled the trigger on VCA yet, but the more I look the more I want haha.
Another reason why I think the black onyx is so nice, the black color is not solely "feminine" or "masculine".It's certain designs for me, I don't mind whether they're silver, y/r/wg or plat.

Love, love the Zip necklace! I remember when I first saw it, I was like, Wow, now that is a piece!
I think that'll be a dream for me as well, haha. But it is definitely stunning!! 
Pics of the new earrings please. I absolutely love Cartier watches also. I prefer RG to YG but they are so luxe. My Favorite is the Balloon Bleu.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 honeyOne day...
I’m all about the thrill of the hunt, so love stalking and then (hopefully) buying pieces for a great price!
The watches will definitely have you blowing the budget. Lucky for me DH buys my watches for me so I can spend my coin on bracelets.Haha, watches will definitely throw you down the rabbit hole for sure! (if you ever get into them)
It’s something about a pearl stud that’s so classy and ladylike
I notice bracelets first, because people's hands are so animated. Rings are rather small usually so it's hard to see what's going on, but I do make an attempt to see those as well. Necklaces are harder to check because I don't wanna be caught staring at anyone's chest, yknow! Earrings I also don't notice because hair. Drop or hoop earrings are rather rare in casual settings.
Basically any jewelry in a safe, socially acceptable stare-able line of sight is gonna get stared at by me.

Once I decided on my next significant purchase I’ve been at kinda jewelry peace, which I am hoping lasts at least 12 months. However, I am hoping Rolexes come back In stock. It’s so annoying how there is virtually nothing available in the US.
I am stalking bigger diamond studs, and a link bracelet, like this one from Shay:
Ha Ha. I pretty much stalk all of it. But I am partial to bracelets.
I don't think there's a particular piece of jewellery I constantly stalk. It's whatever catches my eye at the time. I just realised that my most memorable jewellery memories are always girls on a bus, whether it be a Tiffany silver necklace (honestly, it was because I took the seat behind her that I realised it was a Tiffany piece) or the YSL arty ring. They're not things that I would buy myself.
On socials? I stalk whatever piece that I'm interested in attaining myself. For the last two years, it's been the Cartier JUC.
