Is the fancy diamond color enhanced?
More time to decide=more time to save.
In my mind, it is a no brainer…

According to the GIA reports, both are natural. I stay away from those without reliable lab report, it's just too much money to gamble. The exception is Tiffany yellow diamond, but I know I can't afford Tiffany price for the size I want :lol:
 
I saw that too!
Time to get the antiques out....
My only concern is hole in my clothes.


For those who wear brooches, how do you deal with the damages?
There is an excellent product I discovered a few years ago called Magnapin. I just checked and they are still available to order on the internet. They are not expensive but they solve the problem of possibly damaging your clothes using a brooch the traditional way. A Magnapin consists of two pieces, one that you slide onto the pin part of the brooch that’s a strong magnet and it’s corresponding part that goes on the other side of the fabric you’re adhering it to. It really holds well and you don’t have to put holes in the fabric of your shirt/dress/scarf. They hold magnetically. I was given a wonderful pin from the uniform of a war veteran. Of course I wanted to wear it and started looking for a way to do so without poking holes in my clothes. My search led me to the Magnapins. If you have a particularly big or heavy pin, you can use two of the magnapins and the hold is unbelievably good.
 
I just got a vintage Chanel premiere watch that I have wanted for a long time! Also got my mum’s aquamarine ring reset in a necklace so I think that will be it for this year :biggrin:
But on my long term for sure there is a Cartier Panthère watch, an emerald ring (picture below of a style I love), a right hand ring (picture below of what I love too), a diamond ear cuff (pic below) and I’d love to get a gold ring next year but I’m not set yet on the one..

So much inspiration on this thread. My HG is a diamond tiara - I’d need to win the lottery to justify buying one and I have no where to wear one but I’d be so happy!

Aside from that, my short term (1-3 years) wish list, in no particular order, is:

1. VCA Vintage Alhambra WG Chalcedony bracelet
2. Chaumet WG Bee My Love bracelet
3. Cartier WG JUC
4. Cartier YG or RG SM Love
5. Cartier WG Paved SM Love
6. Rolex 31mm, fluted bezel, gold/steel, MOP or green dial

updating my list as I’ve bought the VCA Vintage Chalcedony bracelet and the WG JUC. I’ve also ordered my Datejust 31 YG/steel with olive dial.

Next on my wish list is the YG small Love and the VCA Vintage pendant in YG/MOP. And then I think I’ll be done (famous last words).
 
My wish list is getting longer every day! At the same time, the time left to fulfill all of my wishes is getting shorter every day. In the past year I only ticked three boxes on the list. If I continue like that, I will most probably not come to the end. To get out of this dilemma, I have to motivate my husband to increase budget and turn the long-term list into a more short-term one - lol!

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chrono - ✔
Patek Philippe Nautilus iced
Cartier Love bracelet small with 10 diamonds
Cartier Love bracelet small paved
Rolex Pearlmaster medium YG full diamonds or eventually Rolex DayDate YG paved
Rolex Daytona WG with diamonds
> 6ctw long diamond earrings - ✔
~ 20ctw tennis bracelet
~ 40ctw tennis necklace
~ 3ct solitaire diamond ring YG
~ 9ctw eternity baguette diamond ring
~ 3 to 4ct solitaire diamond pendant
Serafino Consoli or Piaget Possession diamond WG ring
Cartier Nigeria YG or Sabbadini Spheres YG ring - ✔
> 10ct engagement ring upgrade

Your list is insane OMG. Your jewelry is already so goals I’m sitting her reading like I wonder what shes getting next. I can’t wait to see as I know it’s going to be so fabulous
 
I have all my big ticket staple jewelry items covered. I am however always working on my wrist stacks so I currently need two more VCA Alhambra bracelets. I’m considering the bulgari serpent bracelet in RG. Also interested I the VCA thin perlee clover once it’s released
Time for update ladies.
1.VCA thin Perlee clover added
2. upgrade my engagement stone
3. Another tennis bracelet

I am glad that you are such an avid fan of my collection, but you have nothing to complain about either. Your tennis bracelet, for instance, is an absolute dream piece. I really envy you for that insane eyecatcher. I would love to have something like that in my collection.
For me now the hard part of the exercise comes. Since I don't want to buy all this myself, the question is: how do I get my husband to spend some money on me? There are a few big chunks here, especially the last one will cost me a little persuasiveness!

Thanks so much. It’s so funny as I resisted a tennis bracelet for so long as I prefer bangles. This one definitely works. That is always the challenge to get DH to help a girl towards her goals....especially if yourDH is anything like mine who feels like you have plenty. That 10 carat solitaire he must definitely get. It will be so chic.
