What Other Jewelry Brands Do You Buy/Wear?

[cafecreme15]

I had never looked at the Garrard site before. Some of their regular jewelry looks like high jewelry! Very beautiful! If only I were born a princess!

Have been really into Garrard the last year or so! As soon as I can get back to London I plan on popping into their flagship store to see in person. Love a good heritage brand more than anything!

I picked up the large hoop earrings to match the ring. They're actually very light. I'm just waiting on PB corporate to send my store the backs so I can wear the flowers as studs. Within the next year or so I plan to add the smaller rings, a few of the bracelets and a necklace. I'm really happy to mix and match these pieces with VCA.

These were made for you!! Absolutely stunning. Thank you for introducing us to PB! These seem like special yet wearable pieces at not insane price points. I love the single flower ring.

thank you!!! yes, I feel like Bruni has really hones the designs in this collection to more proportioned, wearable pieces. Love the mix and match aspect of some of them, too.



I love these pics!!! These are gorgeous on you!



I have the one ring now, but I plan to add two of the regular size flowers (pg and wg) and a leaf, too.



I don’t tend to go for smaller earrings, so I only tried on the regular size. I tried on the smaller hoops but didn’t like them at all on me. I’m thrilled that I picked up the larger ones.

oh, by the way, the top is actually a dress from Zimmermann.

I may try on the hoops you picked up also - am usually not a hoop person but the possibility of the 2 looks for 1 is tempting if I end up getting the stud flowers anyways. Am also going to try to track down a pair of the plain rose gold (not pave) flower earrings; they had these in the past but they don’t seem to be on the website anymore. Debating between pave and plain gold (if available), wondering if the plain gold may go well with my 10-motif guilloche, or if the golds would be too different.

If you are in contact with your jewelers at some point would you mind asking if they are able to source a pair of the plain rose gold flower studs? Looks like the flower tops of your hoops. I just sent corporate a mail but imagine there may be some inventory out there since I recall seeing the plain gold earrings on websites as recently as last year.

These pieces are gorgeous.
The earrings you are wearing but one size up, same ones that BBC tried on, are on my list. They look so pretty and wearable. And I think they will compliment my lotus. Just waiting to get to a store once covid is better. I have found most people don’t know the brand and I was not familiar until this thread!

Would love to see you model with the Lotus if you get the earrings - do you have the Lotus ring? I think this collection also goes well with Tiffany Victoria, another favorite line of mine.

I just got the lotus ring. Been looking for earrings to go with the ring, without going full on matchy with the lotus earrings (which I like but don’t think I would buy on their own). I like the Victoria line too and I believe all would go together beautifully. I have no Bruni stores near me (none in Asia) so have to wait to travel to try on.

+1 on the Victoria collection. I heard the collection is based on vintage Tiffany pieces that were designed from the Victorian era. It’s so classic. I’ve always liked how Victoria looked on others. I never thought I could “pull if off” myself. But it actually is very flattering on everyone, it seems

I know exactly what you're talking about, but in this line I've only seen the plain gold bracelet in person. I was surprised at how much I liked it, because I usually just go for sparkly. But even the bracelet isn't on the website (just rings) so it seems like this is being phased out. I know Mitchells has the plain rose gold Lakshmi earrings, which are stunning but a different shape so I don't know if that would be an option for you. Checking the website, they also have the other plain flower earrings:

I tried on a couple of gorgeous bracelets from a brand called Suzanne Kalan today if anyone has heard of it? I love this one because it is a cuff but stretchy so super easy to get on but doesn’t move around. I also tried a one with bright rainbow sapphires and pastel rainbow sapphires but only had the presence of mind to snap a picture of the diamond one. Looks like it was made for my stack! Excuse the weird lighting and my bunchy sleeves. To clarify - it is the bracelet with the baguette diamonds.

I love her designs! I’ve been trying to find fine jewelry that doesn’t take itself quite so seriously but also retains a bit of whimsy/creativity and doesn’t look like a piece of costume jewelry. Feel like her designs nail that for me.

Love these on you!
Are these the smallest size? The ones called the ‘small’ of the petit garden.
