What Other Jewelry Brands Do You Buy/Wear?

[DS2006]

thank you all!!!

This forum is very dangerous! Whenever I need to save money, I make it a point not to visit as I’m easily tempted!

I got the figlia dei piori bracelet in WG and blue.

It matches my watch and I was looking for another WG bracelet. I think it will look nice stacked with my vca 5 motif mop, tennis and vca signature bracelet. If not, it will look perfect on my other wrist next to my watch. The price couldn’t be beat. Already looking at other pieces but need to get the vca signature (SA tracking it down for me)

It is quite nice to see some white gold options! I like their pricing, also! Please post here with pictures when you get it!

It is so pretty! It is a mixture of some of VCA’s best stones.

Yes!!! That's why I bought it - it matches a lot of what I already have and is the perfect complement.

Fabulous choice! I really like a lot of the pieces in this line, too. Cant wait to see your pics!

I think I like every line they have! They're also more reasonable which means I can buy more/more often!

Will definitely post pics. They told me it should arrive by next week so I'm waiting with baited breath. Their pricing is amazing - I just started a wish list.

On request, I tried on the white gold flower earrings and I definitely love them. Much better than the hoops I tried (they only had the small size, and I'd be interested in the large). I would not have been considered these, and now not only am I considering them, I'm having the store bring in the rose gold version. I think these would work great with other designers, and just a great everyday size with a good design.

This is a screenshot from a PB promotional video. The larger hoops. Probably not for everyday, and no one seems to have them, but I have quite a few pieces on hold by now so it's probably fine....might be "too much" to wear these with the other pieces, while the single flowers would be fine.

Those are indeed beautiful and will be incredible on you in the rose gold with white and champagne color diamonds! I wish I could wear the rose gold (so hard to know without access to trying things on!). The hoops are a beautiful design but likely would be more special occasion pieces. One very difficult thing about the PB site is that they don't give the measurements or pictures of the items which makes it so difficult to have any idea of size!

Which size earrings are the ones you have on? (or price would help identify them. There are about 4 sizes similar to those!)

They're the "regular" size, not the "small" ones. lol, they're the ones that cost about $7850. I believe the small ones have about .74 carats of diamonds and the regular ones have 1.45 carats.



I tried on these too. They are really gorgeous, but also not for every day. They're also a real PITA to get on, the flower is in two parts and then you have to put the back on.

Thank you! I was hoping that was the one!

Another super ideal cut nut here! lol

I have Cartier and Tiffany pieces. I'd love to add HW and Graff to my collection at some point.

I want to add Graff to my collection as well!

I love hearing about everyone’s favorite jewelry brands! I’m also into Messika and am eyeing this ring. Does anybody have it?

The earrings look great on you. I like the model's ring too, but not so much the hoop earrings (a bit too cha cha for me personally). The earrings and ring would look fabulous on you.

That said...if you are getting the flower earrings and ring... what about the small Frivole pave earrings and matching BTF pave ring? Can you find some love for Frivole? I personally think the Frivole line is so artistic and beautifully done. Ironically, looking at both, I think Frivole is more everyday casual because the petals are rounded and makes it more fun and casual (kind of like Lotus is more formal because the petals are sharp). Hope that made sense. Just my two cents.

Thank you so much BBC! Just say that you confirmed these were size I was after! I am interested in the size up too so can not wait to see more pictures.
How do you feel they compare to say vCA frivoles or lotus styles? How 3D are they? Are the backs for both sizes butterfly backs and do find that keeps them sitting correctly on the ear? can you tell I am excited?!

These are gorgeous!! Likely too big for everyday, great for special events.

I have had so much trouble figuring out sizes. The main site has no modelling pictures just one stock photo. Not helpful! Their instagram account has a lot of pictures so you can get a sense of what the pieces look like and some sense of size comparison but even then no idea which size the pieces are. Will need to work with actual store to figure stuff out.

I am not BBC but since I am considering similar ring and earrings, I am providing my thoughts.
I own the frivoles pave earrings in yg and I loooove them. I am not in love with the matching ring so it has never made my list. To me it looks like a ring with 2 flowers vs. The Pb flower ring that pools over another finger. I much prefer the PB ring. I am getting a wg pave vca ring (for upcoming anniversary) and I have been searching for wg pave earrings to go with it. I don’t feel the frivoles work with their more curved design and I already own in yg so not duplicating. I don’t love the matching vca earrings or other wg pave earrings at vca. I like many of the designs but not love. At VCA price point it has to be a love for me to buy. The PB pieces are beautiful and also great value to me (I can buy earrings and a matching ring for price of pave frivoles ring). I am also finding that I am becoming a walking VCA ad and am looking to start buying other brands to mix and match. PB looks like a great compliment to many VCA pieces.

@Notorious Pink do you know if the PB prices are negotiable? A friend who asked about pricing in the Canadian shop (Cdn pricing is similar to USA with conversion) that has PB had the SA come back and say pricing is negotiable. But I will likely buy in Europe at a boutique so not sure if that applies across board or only certain pieces...

I saw someone earlier mention they wear Monique Pean and I do as well. Here’s a photo of her horn bracelets stacked with VCA in SF years ago.

I also wear Marco Bicego, Marie Helene de Taillac, Nak Armstrong, Sophie Bille Brahe, David Yurman, and Hermes (adore their horn pieces).
