Diamond Engagement Ring

BVL Bzero 1 Necklace in Pink Gold

 

Chopard "Happy" Diamond necklace

 

 

Van Cleef and Arpel Vintage Alhambra Necklace

 

I love red color and how can you go wrong with 4 leaf clover?  This is one pretty necklace.  The quality of this necklace is superior.  I wish I own more VCA items, but unfortunately, I only have this one piece.  I would love to get the matching bracelet some day, but their price is outrageous for the size of the item.

 

This is what is said on the VCA website:

With its celebrated round bead setting, the Vintage Alhambra collection remains true to the design which launched the iconic motif in the 1960s. Carnelian smoulders against the yellow gold contour in this delicate pendant. Length: 42 cm

 

It is made out of 18K yellow gold and Carnelian.  Currently retailed for $2600.  The necklace is about 16" and it also has an O ring that you can wear at 15". 

 

 

 

 

Tiffany Platinum Diamond STAR earrings

 

 

What can I say?  I have a thing for stars and hearts.  There is just something mysterious about the little twinkle stars.  These are no exceptions.  Once you wear them on your ears, they twinkle throughout the day and night. 

 

These adorable earrings come in platinum and the stars hang about an inch down in total length.  These are made by Tiffany, so there is no questions on what the quality is.  These are no longer available through Tiffany, but if you like them, you probably can find them pre-loved on the various sites.  Do be careful that you get the real genuine one if you decide to go the pre-loved route.  I've found these on Yoogiscloset for a very good price. 

 

 

 

 

Cartier "LOVE" Necklace in Rose Gold

"LOVE" - I love the Cartier "LOVE" collection.  There is a lot of meaning to it.  I especially love Cartier rose gold.  It is very subtle and if worn for a while, you might even think that it is yellow gold with a pinkish glow to it.  It is beautiful and the tint and shininess of the gold never goes away even if you wear it 24/7 which I do. 

 

This is what Cartier advertises as "A child of 1970s New York, the LOVE collection remains today an iconic symbol of love that transgresses convention. The screw motifs, ideal oval shape and undeniable elegance establish the piece as a timeless tribute to passionate romance. Studded with diamonds, yellow gold or rose gold: how far would you go for love?".

 

It is 18K rose gold or pink gold and it is 42cm long or about 17" long.  The pendant measures about an inch in diameter.  The weight is quite substantial and it is quite thick.  The signature and serial number is on the bottom of the pendant.  On one side, it has about six of the famous screw motifs  and on the other side, it has the word "LOVE" spelled out.  You can wear either side out, depending on what your mode is.  Most people wears the screw motif out.  Currently retailed for $3050.

 

 

Tiffany Metro Sparkler necklace!

 

This necklace sparkles like stars in the night sky.  I have not quite seen anything that sparkles as much.  You can find this baby at Tiffany stores and it is currently retails for $5150.  It is made out of 18K white gold with round brilliant diamonds.  Total carat weight is .70.

 

I got this pre-loved for a steal from Yoogiscloset ($2300).  If you have not seen this necklace, you have to check it out.  I guarantee that you will fall in love with it.  It is a great necklace and the diamonds are of a great quality (white and got lots of fire in them).



 

 

Chopard Cutest Little Happy Diamond Bear!

 

This has to be the cutest thing I have ever laid eyes on.  Chopard is well-known for their happy diamond line of jewelry.  I love the floating diamond.  All of their floating diamonds are said to be internally flawless and of utmost quality.  The floating diamond spins and moves around every time you move the bear.  It's a lot of fun to look at.  The clear covering is made out of sapphire crystal; therefore, is scratch resistance.  I have worn this bear into the shower and had no problem with water getting inside the glass.  It is recommended to be taken off while showering.  I have read on the internet that some people have water problem with their rings.

I've found this little cutie pre-loved at Isreal Rose.  Bought this a while back for $800.  Not sure what it actually retails for.  The eyes are made of blue sapphire and the neck tie contains one small ruby.  The clear glass has "Chopard" etched on it and all their pieces come stamped with a serial number.  Don't you just want to hug this little bear?

Beautiful double heart 22K Bracelet!

At the turn of the millennium, I took a trip to Bangkok, Thailand.  When I first laid eyes on this bracelet, it was love at first sight.  These puffed heart jewelry was in at that time because everywhere I went, I saw these similar hearts on display.  After trying it on, I knew I had to have it.  Bargained with the sales lady a bit and bought it for a very good price.  Can't remember how much, but gold was way cheaper back then. 

I have a very small wrist (5.75") and it fits perfectly.  Due to the fact that it fits, the heart stays on the top and doesn't flip to the bottom like most other bracelets that I have.  I don't wear it as often because 22K gold is softer than 18K and I don't want to break it.  Just wish I had purchased more gold items back then.  Now, the price of gold is outrageous, making gold purchases tough for many people, including me.

Tiffany Beautiful Butterfly

 

This is an irresistible butterfly.  Whether it is flying from flower to flower or just hanging on your neck, it is remarkable to have!  The craftsmanship of this Tiffany butterfly is bar none.  It is made out of platinum and contains about 36 various sizes of brilliant cut diamond.  The total weight of the diamond is 0/5ct.  The chain is 16" long and has a regular C clasp.  Currently retailed for $4100 after having a $200 price increased just a couple of weeks ago.  This butterfly is welcomed to drop by my flowers anytime.  If you see it, you will definitely want to catch it and make it yours!

Roberto Coin "Giant J"?

This is a BIG one.  That's right!  I have not quite seen an initial pendant as big as this one.  At least, not a designer one.  This baby measures about 1.75" in height and about .75" in width.  It contains about 1.98ct of G/H VS quality diamonds.  There are a total of 35 diamonds of various sizes.  This necklace is made in 18K white gold and the chain is 16 inches with lobster clasp.  What about the hidden signature ruby?  There are two of them.  One ruby is hidden just behind the top of the J and the other one is on the chain itself.  Both the pendant and the chain has a serial number that matches each other.

Where do you find this?  I searched all over the net and couldn't find this piece at all.  I found a pre-owned letter "A" on ebay and that's about it.  I first saw this piece about a year ago while browsing in Neiman Marcus.  The precious jewelry SA showed it to me and my first thought was "Oh my gosh, it's so big!"  It made such an impression on me that I had to come back to take a second look a year later.  Yes, it's still as amazing as the first time I saw it and it glitters like crazy under the sun light or the light in the store.  This piece is not displayed at the store and you have to ask for it if interested.  The SA told me that it retails at $5200 and was recently increased to $5900.  So ladies, if "J" is your initial and "BIG" is your passion, go check this baby out at Neiman Marcus.
