Hi - was wondering if you all can help me QC this 10 motif. It’s 18k, lab diamond. Please let me know if I should GL this. It’s expensive so I want to be sure it’s a quality piece.

Mon accumulation du jour, j'adore le look Fancy

Ignore my ratty house-cardigan sleeve that is starting to pill LOL. I'm having the darnedest time trying to figure out a 3rd bracelet to stack with my current ones. I think odd numbers look better stacked. I wear these 24/7 and ideally would like another one that could be worn all the time without getting too tangled up. I want it in yellow gold, which throws out a lot of bracelets I would otherwise buy, but they only come in rose or white gold. I prefer not to buy fantasy pieces that aren't actually made in certain metal/stone combos by the real brands. Here are the contenders that I've considered but then basically decided against so far:

Sweet Alhambra in MOP - too fragile of a stone, would get scratched to death by the Love.
VCA 5 motif in onyx - durable stone but keeping the piano black motifs clean would drive me nutso.
Mini Frivole - I own this bracelet and have done it a couple times, but stopped because it's a little big on me, so it moves around too much and also didn't want mirror finish of Frivole getting scratched
Fred Force 10 with interchangable cords - but then I worried the cord aspect would read too much as "ponytail holder" on my wrist from afar

I'd love if VCA made the 6 motif hammered sweet alhambra in yellow gold, but they don't. Or maybe Chaumet's hexagon-and-diamond line bracelet, but again, it only comes in rose gold.

Maybe the Messika move bracelet with the 3 diamonds? VCA Perlee Pearls of Gold bangle? I know JUC and Love are a classic pairing, but I don't think the JUC would look great with the HardWear, plus I worry over the Small version's durability, in addition to it seeming overpriced for the gold weight compared to other options.

What else should I consider?

I haven’t seen many posts about the 5 Frivole Bracelet from Funny or Meng. I have purchased from Meng before and love my pieces. Both come out to the same price with the only differences being that Mengs is 1 gram heavier, and Funny has insurance. But the totals are the same. I know the Frivole isn’t perfectly repped, so I guess I’m just curious on who people have liked better, considering they are both the same price.

Edit: Would love to hear from anyone who has this bracelet how they like it, and if it’s good for daily wear. I don’t take my jewelry off, so would like to know how it has held up, if it gets caught on clothing, etc.

Some girls have an emergency fund. I have Cartier and Chanel clinking in perfect harmony and honestly the serotonin is unmatched. Worth every micro-scratch scare. 🤌🤍

This good? If anyone has Chop-ard it would be really helpful! Appreciate your help

Hi! I just received my two force 10 bracelets's psp, size 16cm long, $120/one. Do you think it's GL?

hi there

does someone have one or both of the chaumet ear cuffs? are they secure on the ear? are they comfortable to wear? there is no store near me to try so any feedback would be welcome 🙏 thanks

Love my simplistic but stunning setup. Pinky ring is a 2ct diamond to match watch.

Here to write another novel. TLDR? Scroll down to summary.

Please note, the first 6 photos are the PSPs because I take awful photos. I did add some of my
own, but it looks like some 2010 vibes photos 🤷🏻‍♀️

Seller: Carat Sky - if you want their contact DM me, I will not post in the comments as I do not want him to get spammed.

Seller Review:
VERY easy to work with and insanely patient. I asked a million questions and had to adjust my sizing at one point (my measuring tape was wrong) and he patiently worked with me. I swear he never sleeps because my questions were always answered no matter what time of the day it was. Along with great communication, he was knowledgeable. He provided excellent recommendations on sizing. Willing to provide any additional pictures from past work which I really appreciated. I’m usually an anxious person, especially with the money I was dropping and just truly trusting the process. However, he was reassuring and I’m so glad I decided to work with him over the other jewelers on this sub because I really value quality pieces and great customer service.

Jewelry Review:

I can’t fully speak to accuracy as I don’t own any of these pieces from the company’s that it was inspired by. From what I could analyze through photos, it looks pretty darn accurate.

I can speak on the quality as I am a huge jewelry lover and own many pieces ranging from different levels of quality. The pieces are extremely sturdy and very well made. The soldering, polishing, finishing edge refinement is excellent! The hinge on my bracelet are smooth and clips seamless without being too tight or loose. The design on my ring is perfectly set and symmetrical. Each piece seems to be very well done. The photos honestly do not do these pieces justice. The diamonds are absolutely blinding in person and sparkle an insane amount once they hit the light.

Summary:
Overall I would recommend reaching out to Caratsky and working with them. I reached out to a couple of other popular sellers and Caratsky made me feel the most comfortable. The overall quality is sturdy and for pieces are absolutely beautiful.
However, please always do your own research. There are plenty of information out there. My goal is to let readers know my experience and opinion; however, please do not go solely on my one post.

Disclaimers:
This is my first day wearing it as I just received it. I am pretty rough on my jewelry so will update this post if the jewelry doesn’t hold up to my chaos.

Lastly, Caratsky did let me know if I post a review I would get the cost of my insurance back. It did not sway my opinion in any way, but as I mentioned above, do your own research!

Hi all, I just got my Sweet Alhambra onyx earrings in the mail from Gavivi today and wanted to write a quick review, as this was my first purchase with him.

Timeline:
5/5: Ordered and paid 30% deposit via PayPal FF (I love that he accepts PP)
5/14: PSPs ready. I had a question so I waited to approve the earrings until the next day
5/15: Approved and paid remainder of balance
5/16: Shipped
5/19: Arrived! Lightning fast!

So here's what I enjoyed most about buying from Gavivi, and why I likely will do so again:

- Good communication
- He accepts PayPal. I haven't jumped into using Wise, and I really don't want to.
- Good prices (typically not quite as good as Funny, who seems to be the lowest priced of all the major TS, but once you add shipping, the price difference is less stark, plus he includes insurance against seizure for an extra 5% which is fully refundable.)
- The timeline, omg, the timeline! 2 weeks from reaching out to him and I have my earrings in my ears right now, are you kidding me?! I absolutely hate the wait when I have packages coming, especially with all the recent stories about increased seizures. I've previously purchased from OpusAtelier, Funny, and Starsgem) and while they have great shipping that's relatively fast (7-12 days), Gavivi's 2-3 day shipping - which is free, no less - has spoiled me and it's literally a reason I would potentially choose him over other sellers if the price is pretty darn close.
- Most importantly, I'm very happy with the quality of the earrings themselves. The weight is good, the perlee beads are crisp, good engravings, I like his gold color better than Andy Chan's, and they are comfortable in the ear and feel luxe.

My one concern was whether or not the prongs were too long or rectangular, but I found pics of auths on Fashionphile and on youtube review videos, and I was able to see that, no, actually the auths are extremely similar. And once you get the earrings in person, they're so tiny that it's not magnified like it is in PSPs. I wear a ton of black, and I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of these!

I only snapped a few of my own pics, which aren't the best quality, because I was so excited to get these in my ears! I actually haven't been able to wear any earrings for years, due to pissy piercings, regardless of metal, so I went to a piercing studio a couple of months ago and got my piercings re-stretched and had them install titanium flatback studs, which I kept in 24/7 for the past couple of months so that I could start to wear regular earrings again. That's how bad I wanted these studs + to be able to wear earrings again in general! So happy right now!

Disclaimer: I get my 5% insurance fee back for writing a review, but this has no bearing on my opinion, as it can't be purchased, especially for so little $$!

Took a break today, meet up with some friends at a cafe. We ended up staying way longer than planned good conversation do that to you. Wore my Lady-Datejust out for the first time in a while. Pink MOP dial always gets me, especially in natural light. Feels like a different watch everytime depending on how the light hits it. Someone at the table finally asked about it and that made my day honestly 😃

I have been wanting a new bracelet for a while and was so close to ordering a Bvlgari Serpanti, however I did want something more of a daily wear , so i went to cartier and tried their new unlimited … to my own surprise I fell in love with it and thought it would be perfect for me.

I was contemplating purchasing the original but i couldn’t for the life of me justify the price, and thats when the internet came to the rescue. I started researching where do people get high quality reps and is it really any different from the original.

After a little digging on reddit I found a few people recommending Vinko and MC for the unlimited. I decided to go with Vinko. I saw pictures on reddit from people that purchased from him, the quality appeared excellent and the price was also good compared to others.

To be honest I was skeptical at first, but very quickly realized Vinko is a professional , everything was laid out all the steps and what to expect and when. It was smooth sailing from the day i ordered to the day i received my bracelet.

I made the order on April 23, got Quality check photos on May 8 , received the bracelet on May 17

I am definitely going back to Vinko and ordering the ring to match and I highly recommend anyone looking to get this bracelet to not hesitate and reach out to Vinko.

For reference , I got the bracelet in Rose gold.

Hey girls! Recently grabbed this silver bracelet stack and I’m low-key obsessed with it

It’s a plated combo and I paid around $164 total (the VCAs were $38 each, the flexible Love was $88, and shipping was free)

I have a whole pile of plated jewelry, but sometimes every seller has a different gold shade, which makes it hard to stack them together. That’s why I’ve been leaning toward white gold pieces lately. This new setup is definitely one of my favorites

The details are honestly spot on for plated reps. I mean, I’m no expert, and it’s always hard for me to spot those tiny flaws people point out in this sub anyway 😂 Also, the flexible Love is super seamless—no hair-catching issues at all, thank god!

I wonder if any of you guys prefer white gold over yellow gold too?

Okay so I finally found a watch and bangle combo that doesn't look cluttered and I'm never taking it off lol...

The gold dial watch is literally perfect for everything work, casual, dinner, whatever. And the bangle sits next to it so nicely without being annoying or sliding everywhere.

Kept the rings minimal because the wrist was already doing enough

Hello,
I did a lot of reading here and thanks to you, ordered small full pave love bracelet from Caratsky. Everything looks okay except it looks like there is a large (relatively speaking) gap on the hinge area. The picture is when the bracelet is fully closed. Is this right? Is this how an authentic bracelet should look like? I have attached a capture of the QC video where it best shows the gap I mentioned above. Owners of small full pave love bracelet, please help!

Thank you!
