What Other Jewelry Brands Do You Buy/Wear?

[Notorious Pink]

Yes, I'm still doing this. There are two stores where I have very good relationships that both carry Pasquale Bruni, and fortunately both have different pieces I am interested in.

This necklace kind of looked blah in the photos but is ridiculously good in person. There are two pave motifs, and, just in case the motif flips (its designed fairly well and won't flip just by moving around, I tried), there are a few rows of diamonds on the back of each motif, too.

I am already mentally layering this necklace with a VCA 20 motif I plan to add, too.



Back to the ring and stacks. The ring is a yes, in the smaller size and without the separate ring. I think ultimately with three of the small bracelets (PG/champagne diamond, plain PG with champagne band and WG Pave). And then eventually with the Bulgari.

So this would be first -



And then eventually adding the other three above the Perlee:


I plan to add two VCA bracelets too, but they would be Vintage Alhambra and I don't know if either would wind up in this stack. Fortunately I have a whole other wrist, lol.

Since I am sitting with Rocky almost all the time during the day, I have put together a complete list with everything I'd like to add to my collection over the next five years (and guesstimates of when I can add each piece). There is plenty of VCA on it, but I love mixing with other designers and I'm looking forward to enjoying this journey.

Rocky is gorgeous!!! His name suits him so well. He’s a joy I’m sure!!!

Thank you! He's a joy except maybe at 3am, lol. He is really handsome and sweet.

This is insanely beautiful. I think you're right to go for this ring over the VCA, it's more wearable and so different.

Is the pink sapphire bangle out of the running?

Thank you! I do feel that it is a dress up/dress down ring that can get daily use. I only have one non-wedding-related ring so I'm trying to be purposeful with my choices.

I love the pink sapphire, but I will be getting the champagne diamond and the wg and I appreciate the added texture of the shiny flowers. The pink will stand out and I don't know if I necessarily want that. I go back and forth. Definitely the other two, and I would like a third. I want one for between the Perlee and the Love, and then if I'm adding the Serpenti eventually I want one above the Perlee, and I like the look of stacking them as well. However, for some reason four seems a little, lol, excessive.

ETA: I tried the Plain PG and the WG pave with a smaller Champagne Pave. Ultimately I don't like the smaller size, but you can see the three versions would work nicely together (you can also see that the Plain PG is different, the Pave versions are a complete bangle, the plainer one is open with a leaf on the other side).

I love the jewelry you are considering. The necklace is stunning with its different textures, links and pave diamonds (your camisole is beautiful, too!). I have been admiring this line from afar for some time so it’s helpful to see it modeled by a real person. Thanks for sharing and please keep us posted along the way.

You have a great eye for the stack - I love the three nestled together. Perfect but not matchy matchy and the necklace is beautiful too.

Is your rainbow bracelet not part of your stack or just occasional?

 

[oranGetRee]

Thanks @Notorious Pink for sharing the beautiful photos of how you stack the bracelets. I like the thought process in determining the ultimate stack

I have also gone to find out more about this brand after your posts. Don’t really know if it is a blessing that they don’t seem to have a boutique in Singapore. I like their designs. More whimsical and flow-y than VCA. Looking forward to more photos from you

Thank you! I'm happy to help! The camisole is actually a slip dress by Vince; I have several and I wear them year round (even in winter, if it's not very cold out).

I let go of the rainbow bracelet; I realized over the summer that I have gone too far in on color and wanted to get back to more versatile pieces.

Thank you! I agree this line plays nicely with the other brands I like and adds some visual interest and texture without being distracting. As far as PB goes, hopefully they will reach Singapore soon. In the meantime, I'm always happy to post pics.

I love all of those floral PB pieces, but that long necklace... . Might have to put that on my wishlist after I check the metals in comes in.

I had this same disappointment. The brand has no stores in Asia. I have confirmed the stores will ship to HK but do not know about SG. I want to try a few pieces on before buying so will have to travel first. Living off pics for now.

BBC have you tried on the earrings that go with the ring/bracelets? I am interested in the larger of the new petit ones in wg as a pave flower earring. I think there are 2 sizes of the petit ones from what I can see online. If you see them or have opinion curious to hear.

Several years ago I tried on the regular matching earrings and I really did NOT like them at all. The earrings themselves are two pieces and the flowers are not as “pretty”. They were difficult to put on and didn’t lay right.

The pair they are bringing in for me are what I call “reverse hoops”. I’m kind of fascinated by them, generally I don’t love hoops and I’ve only ever loved these and the multi-hoop hoops by De Grisogono.


@lynne_ross - For those of you who want to see particular pieces, just let me know. If they are available I’m happy to try them on for you and send along my SA’s info. I’m working with two different stores which have different inventory.

I am interested in the earrings you are trying (in wg but unsure of sizing) and this pair in wg. If it is no hassle to you would love your opinion on these if you can try!

I think London Jewelers (one of my stores) has these. I'll try them on for you.
