That was funny, but it's so true. Each generation does not want what the past generation loved. They want to set their own trends. It will be really interesting to see what trends Gen Z starts, especially in a few more years when they start buying engagement rings! Of course, they will never kill the skinny jean for me, but I must admit... I have been looking at Mother flared jeans recently for spring pieces.Happy anniversary @DS2006 ! Love your TSC!
Went to Foundrae today and really liked the store. Young vibe. SAs spoke of h9w their moms (I think roughly my age lol prefer dainty WG pieces bc their grandmothers wore big YG pieces in the 1980s). I was like, yepThe can do WG by special order (at least six weeks, and no enamel)
first combo is the one I’m more likely to go with YG, big heart and a few charms (around 32K USD)
second pic is RG which no one seemed to like on me. roughly same price
chain 17K
oversized heart 5100
blue crescent medallion 3200
small orb 900
medium medallion with diamonds 3K
there is a downstairs (with sitting room and workshops) very nice

@Happyish, just saw below that you love Vhernier. Would love to hear more, or see photos! I love your aesthetic sensibility
For you, I like the YG set on your left. If you want fresh and modern, the paper clip link theme, which is how I see the chain, is very on trend. For me, I would pick the rolo chain on the right as I think it's more old-world classic Roman to me.
I love the charms you chose on the YG set. They look great, especially with those pops of color.
By the way, I think this necklace is so you! I know you have been looking at various brands, including VCA, but I love this look on you and feel it represents your style which I would describe as avant-garde (VCA is not avant-garde to me).
The necklace also lands perfectly on you. I am sure you know how picky I am about necklaces landing properly, especially short necklaces. That necklace lands perfectly, right at the bottom of the hollow of your neck, not on it, nor too far below it. The two long rectangular oval links point to make a V and highlight that sensuous zone... so beautiful.
Just perfect in my opinion. It looks striking on you!
I had to think for a second what the third was... I knew your first two, but the third... VCA... duh!
I love the necklace and colorful charms shown in your first pic. Very cool yet beautiful. I hope you’re having fun trying necklaces from all the various brands. I know you’ll end up selecting just the right piece(s).Happy anniversary @DS2006 ! Love your TSC!

Thanks so much @BigAkoya and @Cool Breeze. DH likes it too. I’m inclined to wait and compare with blackened gold @bThat was funny, but it's so true.

Bayco; some items at Vhernier (DH thinks are things I’ll grow into ); the jack necklace at Boucheron; a few possibilities at Bulgari; and possibly some vintage boucheron or bucellati (I was thinking Fred Leighton) but IDK. something that can be worn with a moto jacket and jeans lol. and maybe it’s just me, but when did gold chains become so expensive lol. Then, I think the price of some pieces of chanel RTW come close. Which is totally frightening to me too.
@BigAkoya , I’m not sure I can picture you in flared jeans lol

It kind of does! But you may know that the deep color of green beryl is called emerald and the lighter color (which is too light to be called emerald) is simply called green beryl. It certainly does not have the value of fine emeralds, but I think it is beautiful in it's own right. I saved the picture as inspiration since one rarely sees the light green beryl! (Aquamarine and morganite are in the beryl family, too, for those interested in gems! https://geology.com/minerals/beryl.shtml)
@BigAkoya, my DH agrees with you! (He just asked me what TPF thought including the pearl lady with the Wolf jewelry box
(on your recommendation he got a wolf for his watches)
i‘m not as sure as he is, mainly bc it’s a lot for a charm necklace lol
@DS2006, thans for the link above on beryls. I clicked on it mainly bc beryl reminded me of LOTR, the Tolkien books more than the movies.

This is gorgeous! Look at the detailing! A special piece to bring home for you. Congratulations and Happy Anniversary.
It's very pretty but i have 3 concerns- 1) it's more fun than elegant (not sure what look you ultimately want)@BigAkoya, my DH agrees with you! (He just asked me what TPF thought including the pearl lady with the Wolf jewelry box
(on your recommendation he got a wolf for his watches)

And 2) it kind of seems very expensive for a charm necklace 3) it seems very trendy & might look dated in a few years
Yes on high prices these days! I'm a Chanel fan too, and since when did casual, cheap looking Chanel thong slides cost $1,425?
But yes... we still cave and go for it. By the way, this season, 22P... the pale pink leather espadrilles are back! I made sure I snagged one this time. FYI in case you are interested as they sold out so fast last season.
Looking forward to seeing your other pieces. You have quite a unique taste in jewelry which is refreshing to look at.
By the way, since you mentioned moto jacket, have you looked at Shaun Leane? He is a British designer, and he's worked a lot with Alexander McQueen to accessorize his collection (that's really what made him famous). Princess Beatrice's ring was designed by him, and the royal family has worn his bespoke pieces. He has won the UK Jeweler of the Year award multiple times. For me, his pieces are too modern, on the edge of gothic at times, but his pieces would go great with moto jackets. A popular item is his iconic interlocking rings, which are individual rings you interlock to build a single ring look.
Here are examples of the interlocking collection that makes ring "sets": Shaun Leane Black & White Diamond Stacking Ring Set
@Notorious Pink I just thought of you too... you might like this ring... lots of pink and purple: Shaun Leane White Gold, Pink Tourmaline & Rhodalite Ring Set
Here are all his rings so you can get an idea for his style: Shaun Leane - 18ct Gold Fine Ring Collection
These rings are just examples, only because I'm a ring gal. He has many other pieces which you can browse his website.
Since you mentioned Boucheron, Shaun designed the Queen of the Night necklace for Boucheron's 150th anniversary. The flowers on the necklace open and close (be sure to click on the video to see how the mechanism works).

If you might like him, he has a book (book is huge):
Shaun Leane: Leane, Shaun, Becker, Vivienne, Wilcox, Claire: 9781788840736: Amazon.com: Books
I don't own any of his pieces (he's very creative, but too modern and out there for me), but perhaps others might have his pieces and can chime in.

These are absolutely gorgeous. I keep coming back to look. Green is my favourite accent colour. I love emeralds but don’t own any.
Look so perfect with your pink hair and HP!
