I love this brand and have pieces in both white gold and yellow. They are very well made and durable. I find that you need to match his necklaces with his earrings so the gold alloys are complimentary. The necklace you’re looking at is gorgeous. Best wishes.

Thanks for your help! I tried on a few beautiful Marco Bicego pieces at Saks but it was years ago. It's good to know that the quality is as high as ever. I was drawn to this necklace because it looks like it can be configured to work with almost any neckline and could easily be dressed up or worn casually. That versatility is very appealing.

That's really pretty! I love long chain necklaces! Bloomingdale's is having a sale now until or through the 7th that you basically get 25% of your purchase price (of certain fine jewelry) in gift cards if you sign up for their Loyallist program, which is really just registering online and no B credit card required.
 
So I'm only 1/3 of a way through this thread, starting from the beginning a few days ago. Holy moly all the pieces are gorgeous! I'm copiously taking notes. @Notorious Pink you have posted some amazing pieces from a designer I'd never heard of (Pasquale Bruni) and am now thinking of unloading a lot of other items just so that I can carefully up the ante on my jewelry collection.
I have 2 Pasquale Bruni pieces on my list due to this threat (due to Nortorious!) and a friend of mine bought earrings after I pointed her to brand. Dangerous thread.

Glad to inspire/enable! I really love my PB pieces. Theres a matching necklace I’ve been eyeing, too.
 
I’ve been eagerly anticipating this purchase for two weeks now! :)



When I was at the jeweller’s picking up my new emerald ring, I was impressed with his work and swift turnaround. So I commissioned him to remount my existing sapphire which was currently set on a thick plain sterling silver band.



I was so looking forward to picking it up last week after a hard week at work, but unfortunately he couldn’t replicate his speed with this piece, and advised me that it would only be ready the following week. Although I was disappointed, I guess I knew that anticipation would only make things sweeter. It truly was!

On top of everything else, the ring has extra-special significance to me. My father died suddenly in December last year, and he was the one who bought me the sapphire when I was 18. I hadn’t worn the ring in years, but it took this eminently sad situation for me to commission a piece that will keep my father close to me at all times and a beautiful memory of the amazing person he was.

Thanks for letting me share.

The Ceylon sapphire is beautiful. This ring is such a wonderful tribute to your father.
Congratulations on your new ring!
 
These are on their way to me. :smile: Irene Neuwirth. Now I am on Ban Island.
I love the combo of Peruvian opal and aquamarihe.

Oh.My.God.
Wow !! I’ll PM you later but I’m so envious - this set is TDF. Love Irene's carved stone flower necklaces especially; and this one is outstanding. These flowers can go from evening gown, formal wear to the most casual outfit.
I’m so thrilled you got this !
If you follow Irene’s IG she does insta stories often wearing pieces grin her different collections and it helps seeing them in action, which highlight the movement and sparke.
Those hoops with those earrings - incredible.
Been meaning to post more here but like others have said it’s been so informative.
I personally love buying jewelry from brands owned by strong independent women - that’s a plus in my book.
A win-win.
Massive congrats on this newest acquisition.

That's beautiful. I'm so sorry about the loss of your father, and I fully understand the significance this piece will forever hold in your heart. I lost my dad in September, and as I was cleaning out my jewelry box last night I was admiring the pieces he had given me. Hugs.
