Thank you @Canturi lover! I keep pinching myself bc whoa, it doesn’t seem like thirty years! :biggrin: for this gift, DH handled all the details and he did really well!

thank you @BigAkoya and @couturequeen for the info on Pascual Bruni! @BigAkoya, I just scrolled through the Bloomingdales link (I didn’t even know Bloomingdales sold jewelry) and love the organic flowing shapes. Re VCA, I agree with you that the cosmos ring in your post is beautiful, but less edgy. I can really see you rocking the lotus! it will be amazing! I know you are into sets, but I forgot if you liked the lotus earrings or not?

@BigAkoya! I just saw your post below! I read and reread so many of your posts re advice on jewelry, life, aesthetics of bracelets, cuffs on the wrists; I am so grateful! It finally came in! i will edit this post with mod shots later (Bc as it turns out, I take crappy dark cuff action pics) DH chose peridot, amethyst and blue topaz (he wanted the classic stones) but he felt very strongly anti pearl, so there are diamonds on the four corners and backs instead. I sized up. . . Which is embarassing bc I’m 5’2”. . . I’m still working on losing weight, but no one thinks wrists will be affected lol. I still feel kind of sheLL shocked, i mean it wasn’t a surprise, but the reality of it Actually arriving is a totally different thing. . ..will stop babbling now! This is a lifetime fantasy kind of event for me!
hugs :biggrin:
P.S. I tend to like to wear my jewelry very loose with lots of movement — most of TPF would deem this unacceptably loose, but it’s my style and also the look that DH likes too...

Happy Anniversary! Beautiful cuff, looks wonderful on you.
 
hi ladies, what do y'all think of the bvlgari diva's dream necklaces?
looking at these two --
I think they are both beautiful!
 
i love both, but i’m not sure which i prefer. the second is a lot simpler and i’d probably wear it a lot more often, but i love the diamond details of the first one!

I had similar thoughts to u as I was debating which necklace to get. Should I go for a simpler, more everyday piece or one with more bling that looks more dressy? I decided to go for the one with more diamonds as I have a vca MOP butterfly pendant which fulfills the need for a more casual MOP piece for me. Plus I loved the diamond details too. I had a hard time deciding though as I felt like the more simple necklace did match my diva earrings better and I could wear it more often. I don’t think U could go wrong with either though and I agree that both are beautiful choices.

Thanks to this thread I found a great complement for my CDC. Roberto Coin is thinner, more angular and streamlined than VCA. Plus, I was able to special order a smaller size. Lays flush with a nice sparkle.

I may still get a perlee clover, but will look at another metal. I’m going to slowly build out stack options since there’s such a nice variety!

I am not sure where to post this, but I thought this thread made the most sense as some of you here love Bulgari, Cartier, Verdura, etc...

I just finished this book, Beautiful Creatures, which is part of a special jewelry exhibition opening June 12 at the NYC American Museum of Natural History's Gem and Jewelry Hall.
Beautiful Creatures: Jewelry Inspired by the Animal Kingdom (ELECTA): Fasel, Marion: 9780847868407: Amazon.com: Books

For me, I never had an interest in "animal" jewelry, but after reading this book, I think I am beginning to love the Cartier Panthere.

Here are some iconic pieces from the book I wanted to share as I thought some of you ladies might enjoy this for inspiration.
