So I would like to put on my wish list:
- platinum and colourless diamond round brilliant four claw studs. I would like 2ctw as a minimum (1 ct each ear).
I am struggling still as to what i should get for a "push present" and still doing my "research" (ie looking at all the websites and going into stores trying everything on haha).
I Did say only one at a time..
But so far in January I bought Boodles platinum diamond studs (to wear), then in April a Calleija Argyle D and blue diamond ring (more for investment , or to upgrade in the future)..
I have a rolling list of 10 pieces which are long term wishlist, and aim for one at a time.
Next I’m planning a larger Type 11a diamond solitaire ring-unless I fall for anything else along the way!
I'm not going to even bother to find my old posts here because it has changed again.
I just got a Clash which was never on my list.
So for now:
1. Boochier Slinkee bracelet
2. Cartier Ecrou bracelet
3. Heart shaped diamond eternity ring

I will definitely share some of the options I've come up with when I get closer to buying!
Boochier’s slinkee bracelet is on my wishlist too! I may end up purchasing a similar bracelet from Etsy for a lower price🤣
First of all I need to replace my triple row South Sea pearl bracelet , which broke 10 days ago-it’s insured, but underinsured and my jeweller has found larger South Sea pearls so I’m going to have to contribute , plus I’m going to add a better clasp.
Then it’s a decision -
I’ve seen a couple of Type 11a D IF or FL diamond rings
OR
A suite of Argyle pink and white diamond necklace ring, necklace and earrings.
I actually want All of it, but have to make a choice at this point..

Updating my wish list. Slowly coming to the realisation that while I truly do love the design & fun colours, a VCA Alhambra bracelet would not match the rest of the jewellery I wear. I have a 24/7 stack of 2 JUCs & a small Love which (to me at least) looks sleek & slightly edgy. The Alhambra bracelet is more feminine & I know I wouldn’t take off my 24/7 stack.
So instead of buying that, I’ll be directing funds towards completing my core pieces. I’m currently on maternity leave which has financially wiped me out so I’m planning on staggering these over the next 4 years until my 40th. They are not hugely expensive items but needed to plug the gaps in my collection.
1. De Beers RVL ring in rose gold
This is the thinner version. Since getting pregnant my small JUC ring no longer fits on my right hand so this will replace that. I prefer the thinner version because my right hand stack is very busy. A lot of debating over this ring and the BML thin ring but I like the texture on this one better.
2. Small Love hoops in rose gold
I don’t have ANY rose gold earrings which is super annoying. Debating between these and the hoops which match the De Beers ring about but I think I prefer these slightly.
3. Cartier D’amour small necklace
This is the perfect necklace to either layer with my rose gold diamond JUC necklace or wear on its own as a 24/7 piece. The small size (vs large) layered better with the JUC.

So three years later here is where we are... (it’s actually so fun to go back to those threads!)Ah I love those threads
Right now:
1) Chanel première watch
2) Boucheron Pivoine pendant
3) Cartier Diamants légers necklace (not very reasonnable since redondant with other pieces in my collection but I just love it)
3) A white pearl pendant with diamonds to attach to my pearl necklace (to custom make)
4) Boucheron plume de paon necklace small model (for further down the line!)
5) A fine jewellery bracelet for special occasions, but I have never seen any that I really liked... don't wear bracelets in general so that may be why!
Chanel watch: purchased
Boucheron pivoine pendant: purchased
Cartier diamant légers: out of the wishlist
White pearl pendant: still on the wishlist
Boucheron plume de paon necklace: replaced by the ring from the same collection
Bracelet: still on the wishlist, still unsure which one (tennis bracelet?)
So here goes the updated wishlist:
1) Either the small VCA frivole pendant in rose gold (not pave) or the Chaumet bee my love barrel pendant in yellow gold with little diamonds. I have a hole in my collection for a medium pendant in either rose or yellow gold. I have the mini frivole in yellow gold and love it but I need a more substantial one of this type. I also own the boucheron serpent bohème in rose gold paved with diamonds, but it’s a slightly diferent vibe I feel.
Any other idea for this would be welcomed!
2) boucheron plume de paon ring (so gorgeous!)
3) white pearl pendant
4) bracelet (tennis? I need to find one that would stack nicely with my Chanel watch)
5) Bigger diamond pendant for evenings and more dressy occasion (to be made custom)
Thanks for letting me share
I now have my new triple row South Sea pearl bracelet, by Calleija, which I absolutely love.
It took a long time as the pearls were sourced from Australia.
During that time I bought a small white gold marquise diamond Charles Winston (nephew of Harry Winston) ring.
The Calleija pink and white earrings and pendant have been sold, although could be recreated at a higher price, the ring contains an Argyle stone, but I’d like a larger one.
So at the moment it’s looking like a Type 11a diamond ring next DIF or DFL from one of my 3 favourite jewellers(there are another couple I shop in ).
At the same time I keep a rolling list of 10 pieces of jewellery I want longterm, which I update.
I also gift my lovely Niece pieces for Christmas and her birthday in June.
I manifest things quite easily so I know these would be mine eventually, it's just a matter of time. And they are all VCA:
1. All Folie des Prés bracelets except for the diamonds one. I want to wear it as a stack. Or, like, 2 at a time
2. Two Mystery Set clips, one in ruby and one in sapphire. It has to be a good design, like a flower or a mythical animal
3. A variation of this ring

Revisiting my list again:
1) LOVE cuff. I want this. Still trying to justify cost.
Yep. Still want it.
2) Blue sapphire necklace. Someday. A lower priority.
Yep. Still a lower priority.
3) Gold hoops that really work with my style. Still looking.
Yep. Still looking.
4) A 18k WG or platinum bracelet.
Yep.Still want.
5) Really good SS pearls. I like my cheap little ones, but oooh I'd love the really nice ones!
