What Other Jewelry Brands Do You Buy/Wear?

[lovepoppy]

On prices, I was told the same as what @spaul shared. Customers will have to pay the new price for items that are not in stock and the max production time is 8 months - gosh. I believe this is in anticipation to the new price increases which seems to be happening soon??? A part of me thinks it makes sense for customers to have to pay the new price since the wait time is so long - but then again, I don’t know why they do not allow customers to lock in old prices especially if they are asking for 100% deposit 😅

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a straight answer from the SA regarding the hollowness of the macri bracelet but the back of the bracelet isn’t flat. It has a curvature behind the entire bracelet - sorry if it’s hard to understand. But I can see why it would be considered a delicate piece because of that. I forgot to take pics of the inside of the bracelet.

How do you think the Macri bracelets mixed with a 5 motif would look as a stack?

@Mayacamas Haven't tried it myself but I bet it will look lovely!

I love the 5mm on you! More to look at next time I am at the mall!

The bracelets look beautifully stacked with your VCA. Look to line up very well. Are they also oval and are they hinged?

Thank you @CoastalCouture Would love to see pics when you try them! We are all such good enablers for each other here 😜 I believe the Macri bracelets are also oval (trying to remember) and really do align very well with the Perlee bracelets. And, they have an easy open and close mechanism which is always a plus since I cannot wear any jewelry 24/7.

Will post pics when I try. I am surprised to hear hallow will need to ask about that since I am a hard wearer of my stuff - meaning I wear all my jewellery a lot doing daily things.
My daily stack is 3 loves and 2 diamond bangles. I can remove the diamond bangles and add other items when needed. I am a bit lazy and just leave as is and use other arm.

Can’t wait to see pics @lynne_ross I tried these over the summer and was surprised at how beautiful they looked in-person. Pics don’t do them justice! I would love to see either one 5 MM or two 5 MM stacked with your love. They could be great alternatives if you decided to switch out the two diamond ones you currently have. I bet they would look lovely!

That cuff is nice! I have looked at Boucheron on and off but primarily online and not that seriously, but your post is making me want to run to the boutique 😜

Thank you! I had seen the cuff online but wasn’t sold on it until I saw it in person. The cuff with a single motif on either end isn’t quite enough presence for me, although I probably would have more opportunity to wear it. For me, the cuff I bought is more of an evening out piece.

Thank you so much @lovepoppy
Oh wow I had no idea that the Macri bracelets are hollow! I am careful with my jewelry but not overly so! The thought of the bracelet losing its shape if I bang it while carrying groceries gives me nightmares 😭

I have the macri bangle in YG diamonds 5mm, it is so sturdy i cannot imagine it would lose its shape.. in fact, it is heavier than VCA sweet perlee which i also own.

I wear them both on their own as i dont like to stack ♡

If i helps i took some pics of my bangles together.. though i never wear them together as i dont mix metals haha

I find it hard to capture the rigato effect/ beauty on the Macri bracelet. Its soo stunning in person especially the engravings around each diamond. The diamonds also pop against YG

What a beautiful piece. Yes Macri shines more than on pics I agree. Not same kind of shine as guilloché. Different. But still has something more than other techniques on gold craft.

Question @sassification

Did you purchase the same cm size for the Macri that you did for the Perlee?

Thank you

That is just gorgeous! Do you find the square-edge comfortable to wear? Am considering it vs. the rounded edge one...

I find myself, given the Van Cleef stock and blockade of SO's looking for alternative brands to extend my Van Cleef pieces- those that are complimentary. I have ordered some pieces from jeweler Maytal Hannah to go with my Perlee small clover ring (which I am still patiently waiting to receive...)

These arrived on Friday and they are so simple, and beautiful!!! Handmade bands, with the diamonds the very highest quality (color, clarity, and cut) per order. My plan is to sandwich the Perlee Clover ring between these two bands.

Maytal never disappoints!
