Hi @Rockerchic! Love your choices! Forgot if you were looking at diamond necklaces a few months back! Hugs

Ooh, I kind of forgot that one of my unicorn pieces is to collect more colored diamond pieces. Looking for blue next, lol. I’ve actually bought a lot of things from my wish list, but then I keep finding more things to add on X_X

I already have some yellow and pink diamond pieces from Tiffany.

I actually bought a one-of-a-kind blue diamond band from Tiffany, but returned it. Of course, they were natural blue diamonds, and the stones all matched in color, but the diamonds just looked ugly imo. I had to psychologically abuse myself to see “blue.” To me, they just looked gray, but apparently that’s very characteristic for natural blue diamonds, especially if they’re small and in a pave setting.

I’d have to go with something a lot larger, I think, if I want to be satisfied with blue.
 
I feel like the pieces I mentioned are all very iconic brand pieces, but it was probably a bit presumptuous of me to think that everyone would just “know” what pieces I was referring to. Since someone asked for photos, I collected some pics.

Most likely going to buy over the next several years:

Thank you for the fantastic pictures!
Lovely, lovely, lovely.
I adore the brooch.
Is it fashionable to wear brooch again?

Ahahaha, I wear brooches a lot. They’re pretty versatile, and have kind of become a signature item for me. You can put brooches on jackets or outerwear, of course. But you can also attach them to a hat, or a scarf, or a bag, or a chain.

I think brooches are the most creative type of jewelry. There’s so much inspiration with brooches, because the design isn’t constrained by size or form. You don’t have to accommodate a finger, or neck, or ear. You can find a brooch in literally any shape imaginable. Also, brooches are easy to take care of and stay in excellent condition, since they’re not in contact with hard surfaces.

I don’t know if brooches are back in fashion, but they’re certainly fun to play with. The only thing is that I feel like you have to amass a pretty large collection of brooches in order to really enjoy them. A brooch can really put a whole outfit together and help to coordinate your other accessories.
 
I’m not really sure what HGs are, either. I found out the perlee clover is a lot of people’s “holy grail” but the bangle is pretty easy to find. It’s more of a purchase that’s difficult to swallow.

I’m starting to think holy grail might mean “piece you’re saving up to.” And unicorn means “piece you’d buy immediately if you could find it.”

But again this is all speculative, since I hadn’t given much thought to how I prioritize my shopping until I joined this forum.
I like your definitions! I also like all the items on your wishlist. Best of luck!
 
A holy grail item, to me, is just something that would be your most desired piece to own and is within the realm of possibility. That's why a lot of VCA fans say the Perlee Clover bangle. Many things in their high jewelry collection would not be obtainable for me as I would not pay $100,000+ for a single piece of jewelry.

I am upgrading my studs soon and plan to get a new diamond tennis bracelet, both with ideal cut diamonds this year. I'd like to add maybe one Alhambra piece, too.
 
Love hearing everyone's HG lists!
Over the years, have noticed myself happiest wearing a few favorites day in and day out - which is why my HG list is also short:
  • Intense pink diamond pendant, 3+ CT oval harry winston - probably a daily piece; pretty sure given the rest of my lifestyle, folks will easily assume it's crystal
  • Custom diamond necklace, collet style closed back with 1ct RB stones that can convert to different lengths, including a bracelet option (thinking 6.5" bracelet + 16" necklace, with an option to attach the pink diamond pendant above to make a showstopper piece). Currently have a CZ version of the necklace and love it. Have contemplated having this made from aquamarines in an emerald cut instead of RB diamonds... not sure.
Happy hunting!
