What Other Jewelry Brands Do You Buy/Wear?

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.

I started looking at Bruni rings a year ago and thought they complemented VCA pieces so well or were a nice alternative. I also don’t want to be a VCA ad, so not looking to have a set of anything or too much Alhambra. I love my small WG Frivoles earrings and wear them way too much, so rather than buy another pair in YG thinking about the pave Bruni YG or RG.

Same! My only set is blue agate necklace and bracelet but I bought them to wear as a 15 motif necklace which i mostly do. Otherwise all my pieces are kind of random. I also don’t want too much Alhambra. I have 2 more pieces to add then I don’t foresee adding any more from that line.

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? :smile: 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.

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.

@willeyi I think I agree with @lynne_ross - I like the Frivole line but I don't LOVE it, and the prices are so high to not love it. I think the Bruni flowers are more elegant than the VCA. I'm not really an everyday casual person, I would wear that ring for everyday. I love that you called the earrings "cha cha" - they totally are! - but I have a theory that the front flower part part of the earring can be worn separately with just a back, because the earring is two pieces, the flower and the hoop, so more versatile.

Thank you so much BBC! :flowers: 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? :nuts: can you tell I am excited?!

They are definitely 3D but not as 3D as Frivole. The back is a bit bigger and flatter than the usual post back so I think they sit a bit better than they would otherwise.

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

For me, this is an everyday size.

@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 believe they are. Not sure, since I negotiate a little with the stores.
 
Here are my pieces ... cashmere collection sapphire, emerald, gray diamond necklaces and yellow diamond earrings. Will photograph the Brahe later.

lovely! i’ve been really interested in some of their earrings, but it feels rather overpriced to me, which is holding me back.

Agree on the price points! I’ve only paid retail for one piece since they contain sterling. I only justify spending retail if it’s a sterling AND diamond piece that I will wear on the daily. I wear less and less sterling as I’ve gotten older.

Hey ladies, need some help.
Want to buy a serpenti! Hovewer, size m is too loose and I feel like this bracelet should not be moving along the wrist, and size s is a little tight. My SA told me the bracelet will get a little bigger. Did yours got loosen after some time?
 
I'm so thrilled I picked up the ring yesterday. I can't stop staring at it. My hands are still dry, but better.

These earrings have been in the back of my mind for at least 5 years and I FINALLY got to try them on. I'm obsessed. The size is perfect. Its a bad pic, but the diamonds are champagne except white diamonds on all the tips.

Confirmed by Bruni that the flowers can be worn as studs without the hoops. They said I just have to have my store request plain backs and they will send them.

There are two flower motifs on the necklace. Both are pave on the front and shiny with a diamond center on the back.
