What Other Jewelry Brands Do You Buy/Wear?

[sassification]

VCA does seem like it has a more equal popularity worldwide! Do check Boucheron out, I find it also has a rich history and amazing craftsmenship, with lots of high jewellery worn on red carpets.

I was also starting to get into the serpent boheme collection too.

My only concern is, if i buy Boucheron, i need to be sure i will keep it forever.. because it would be incredibly hard to sell (more so than Hermes fine jewellery) without making a huge huge loss. And i find i grow out of love of most things after a few years, -.-

I thought i love love love my guilloche items, but.. because it scratches easily and trap dust so easily, i have decided to let it go

Did he purchase the necklace in India may I ask? I'm not typically a fan of Bulgari necklaces, but this one is gorgeous! It has more presence than some of their other necklaces.

Yes he surprised me and bought it in New Delhi. It is only available there. He paid taxes there on it and duty here but still worth it to me.

Do go and have a look and there’s no rush to get it if after a few days you still think about it then start to seriously decide would u want to add it into your collection.

I find their designs timeless and won’t go out of fashion soon. But their do phase out some of the stones they use in the serpent boheme collection - I wanted a lapis lazuli item for a long time but then couldn’t find it suddenly cause they had discontinued it.

Oh yes, lapis looked good!

I wish they did WG with Onyx! The aqua shade looks beautiful but it means i need to make almost a set on its own.. its very light and feminine.. reminds me of the tiffany shade

In real life it looks like mint, a little greener, in pictures it looks more bluish. I tried it with WG MOP too and it works. Looks like they don’t normally do WG with other stones.

You mean you tried matching with VCA WG mop? Ooh i prefer mint to blue

Yep! It goes well with vca WG.

Some of the aquaprase will be more transparent and some more solid, see if your local have a few more stones for you to look at.

I passed/stopped by Chanel boutique in Vegas earlier, and fell in love with the Comete perlee ring

https://www.chanel.com/us/fine-jewelry/p/J10213/comete-perlee-ring/

My mind tells me to stay and continue my VCA journey, actually, frivole pave BTF ring and small pave earrings are on my wish list next. But I just cannot dust these two rings off of my heart and mind.

All three are from COMETE collection. I tried the second and third one just for fun, the BTF ring size is too big, didn't look good. I really love the Comete perlee and it could match my white J12 with MOP dial. I tried the Frivole BTF ring in RG a while ago (my wish is YG, the store only had RG). Forgive my un-manicured hand.

Would love to hear your views? Maybe you can steer me back to VCA track. thank you!

My vote to get the Frivole BTF ring and the earrings first and if by that time you still want the Comete perlee ring you know it needs to come home or by that time you may find that you have outgrown your liking for them. Either way, you will know and have zero regrets.

Chanel pieces are very pretty; I totally agree but stay with me on the Frivole journey ...I think it will be lovely on your fingers. It is a very elegant and feminine piece and with matching earrings? Totally dreamy!

IMHO, the Frivole looks so much more substantial than the Chanel - and it looks incredible on you!

Frivole for sure! I think you might outgrow and tire of the Chanel pieces. The Chanel looks more like novelty jewelry to me, while the Frivole is far more elegant and glamorous.

Just my thoughts.

I would stick with VCA over Chanel for jewelry for a multitude of reasons. Plus, I think it’s much easier to tire of the Chanel designs TBH, but perhaps that’s just me.

thank you all so much, @eternallove4bag @glamourbag @BigAkoya @SpicyTuna13 @Minich for keeping me on VCA track, now I look at the frivole again, it does look much more substantial, quote BigAkoya, definitely more bling. Now I can dust off the chanel rings with a happy face.
