this is absolutely beautiful, gorgeous on you! Onyx looks better than MOP in this case.

I love both the MOP and the onyx one on you! I tried the onyx on, posted in the serpenti thread, ( post 174 in this thread: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/bulgari-serpenti.1042825/page-12). I adored the adjustable ouroburos snake head and tail. I wish all the serpenti necklaces were designed as suchHeres another version made of MOPBut i like the onyx version so much. #dreamy

Oh, wow, I just went to the Macklowe Gallery : vintage VCA, Cartier, Bulgari, plus Tiffany lamps
first four pics are the windows. Last three pics are of one of the VCA cases
last week I went with two TPFers to Cartier, first floor and second floor, high jewelry, and I was amazing in both places how different the jewelry looked from what I imagined (some, but not as much panther). Same with vintage VCA etc.

Has anyone here checked out Omega fine jewellery? I never knew them for FJ, always thought they were a watch brand but recently these caught my eye! But i havent checked them out in real life, wondering about the quality of their White gold..
I like that they have 7 motifs instead of 10 like the VCA, they are also less common

I’ve just started exploring Boucheron too and initially got the Serpent Bohème in the aquaprase. The stone colour looked so lovely and cheery. But you’re right that the white gold was so shiny and in the end, didn’t really work well with my skin tone. In the end, I exchanged it for the rhodolite garnet.
Here it is layered with a Sweet MoP:
The SA who helped me out said they frequently ship out to Korea and Malaysia too.
Its so nice, i like the touch of diamond at the side. I wished they did the WG with onyx.. i find black or white stones easier to match my other accessories.. i find the boucheron chain very unique
The necklace looks really good on you! The rhodolite is transparent so your skin tone will reflect on the stone as well! The white mop suits the red!
Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing. Were the years displayed? Some of their looks could Have been interchangeable.Oh, wow, I just went to the Macklowe Gallery : vintage VCA, Cartier, Bulgari, plus Tiffany lamps

I think there are some Verdura lovers here...
Does anyone have both the WG Criss Cross Cuff and the YG Caned Cuff?
I am deciding between the two. I like the Criss Cross cuff, but I love the Caned Cuff. The Caned Cuff is hand-caned, so the metal work is amazing. However, Verdura said they have never done this piece in WG. They also said since this piece is hand-caned, WG is more difficult to work with, and it is a final sale. I don't mind a final sale as I love the design. However, I am not sure I will love the design in WG.
If you have both, you can probably envision how the Caned Cuff would look in WG. I'd love your honest thoughts.
Thank you!

I had the cross cross cuff and re-homed it. IMO, the caned cuff in WG will be breathtaking.
Thank you for your input. I should have guessed you have/had most Verdura pieces.
I love your taste in jewelry.
I fellow Jean Mahie / Elizabeth Locke collector recently passed away. We knew and respected one another.
She had no heirs and a friend is selling her pieces as a favor to her husband. I was one of the first to review the collection.
The two Mahie pieces are exceptional.

- 22K Multi-tourmaline necklace
- 22K Sapphire and fancy intense yellow diamond ring.
Sending my sympathies on the loss of your co-collector. I am learning a lot from your posts about other jewelry brands as I hop around the forums. How lovely of you to buy some of her pieces to keep them in circulation and give this beautiful jewelry more opportunities to be worn. This is 22K solid gold? I'm going to try to learn more...hard to find above 18K and I like the golden look.
