If you’re colorblind, I am too! I have a love/hate relationship with rose gold. I hate it when it looks coppery against my skin and I love it under sunlight especially when paired with my white gold and diamond jewelry.
This is very unpopular… but I really don’t like the whole VCA, Cartier wrist stacks. To me it looks like it’s trying too hard and you want to wear all your jewelry at once. I feel that way even with necklace layering sometimes.
I feel the same. I understand everyone wants to wear their jewelry, but having stacks of jewelry on the arms and neck is a bit much. I own popular pieces from each house, but I only wear 1 piece on each arm, and if I wear a statement necklace, everything else is toned down. I used to stack jewelry, but now moderation is my motto, especially with our current economy.
I think stacking exploded around dainty jewelry for a reason. A heavy metal statement look can be fun but I don’t understand it as a daily wear thing. I feel the same about the very trendy constellation piercing look. Most of the earrings themselves are small in scale, but together many curated ear looks with diamonds and gemstones are quite a lot for daytime relative to the size of the canvas.
I feel this 100%. In today’s economy moderation is also my motto. I find it tone deaf and lacking self awareness when I see someone posting variations of cartier loves and juc, perlee clover, pave serpenti, plus vintage bracelets all at once. It’s too much and incredibly messy aesthetically.
In all fairness, this is THE one place where it’s encouraged.
It was our motto for a while in fact! I love the share posts, and if there’s some that over share, I ignore them
Perhaps it would be easier to ignore if I wasn’t being bombarded with the same images. It doesn’t annoy me seeing it on here and of course it’s easy to ignore one photo but then seeing the same images on fb and then instagram feeds is too much. I don’t follow these people but I follow the cartier and vca groups and so unfortunately it’s hard to ignore when you see the same image posted four or five times. So yes posting is encouraged but sometimes enough is enough.In all fairness, this is THE one place where it’s encouraged.

Ahh, I don’t follow people on IG and FB like that.
I pretty much only see what’s shared here.
I don’t care for too much social media… to me that’s too much!
I am not a fan of the Cartier cord bracelets, especially when they are "stacked" with multiple other bracelets and/or watch. I think alone they would have the best effect, but next to other fine gold/diamond bracelets they look awkward and cheapen the look.
aaah you are talking Hermès? I am always amused how intense their jewelry language is ....
Aww, I wear my C Trinity cord bracelet all the time on my "watch" arm. My Rolex pretty much hides it when I'm wearing it.
I love my cord bracelet (only 1) but it's nuts trying to take it off--last fall I had some surgery, had to take off all jewelry, and removing it put me in a sweat!
For me giving small businesses for jewelry on Etsy a try. I particularly choose businesses that are in the US because I do not want to pay import fees. I bought some jewelry that was supposed to based in NY. Well it took four weeks for the jewelry to come and it came out of South Carolina. These jewelry pieces came from overseas. To make matters worse the jewelry items were fake. This is the second time that this has happened to me. I remember once I bought a pair of emerald earrings from a small business and about a year later I sww them at a costume jewelry shop. Where the company claims to be US based but it is coming from overseas and I got scammed in that situation. At least if I buy jewelry from an actual business that is not small I would be getting what I paid for.

Some sellers on ebay try to hide that their products are from China or otherwise overseas. smdh
That happened to me on eBay. I bought a vintage Rolex made in 1966, and the listing said it was from the US and it ended up shipping from Egypt. The watch is still authentic, but I thought that was shady that it was listed that way.
