I wanted a Tiffany solitaire for my 10th wedding anniversary present and tried one on at the 5th Avenue store in Manhattan. Well. It was so tiny and so expensive that after research my husband purchased a half-carat solitaire from Blue Nile at a fraction of the price of the Tiffany solitaire so you should look into that option to save yourself some $. I wear mine all the time, and it looks especially great with scarves from Hermes! I got over that it wasn't from Tiffany quickly.

I am a huge fan of Cartier so I would advise that if you get a diamond solitaire from a place like Blue Nile use the money you save to get that great Cartier Leger blue sapphire! Gorgeous and distinctive! You will get a lot of use out of it!

Let us know what you decide. December will be here in a wink!
 
Thank you, actually I was wondering about the size of the sapphire because the website doesn't specify it. I was thinking I would decide after seeing it in person.

Regarding Tiffany, I like the delicacy of their designs, I have no personal experience of a Cartier comparison though. All I know is that Cartier is more expensive!
And while I love the style of the tiffany diamond designs, I'm not drawn to one in particular. I'm liking the cartier orchid best atm, not sure about its value re the price.

The orchids design is beautiful. The sapphire ones are cheaper than the diamond one. It's on my wish list.:smile1:
 
I wish this existed in a single pendant version :love:. All my favorite stones in one pretty little flower:D. Maybe the earrings one day!

Thank you for all your replies :smile1:!

While I'm drawn towards Cartier's rose gold which seems very soft and feminine, the pink sapphire orchid would probably be a bit too much pink for me, I'm not much of a pink wearer usually. I have a simple wardrobe, (shirt-cashmere sweater-jeans-high heels is a frequent combination:D) wear a lot of black, blue and dark jewel tones, so a diamond pendant is probably best.

I'm thinking of getting the solitaire pendant unbranded, I might do that after all.

I like VCA a lot but diamonds come first:D, and I'm still holding out hope for a pink gold - mop or grey mop pendant! The rose gold sweet clover pendant is still a bit on my mind though:D.

The cartier sapphire seems to have a few fans which is good because blue would fit straight into my wardrobe!

So all this to say that I'm still considering
- tiffany solitaire pendant
- cartier smallest diamond orchid
- vca rose gold sweet clover pendant
- cartier blue sapphire pendant

I might end up getting them all in the long run:laugh:(hopefully!!:smile1:)
