  • Hi guys, I'm Eileen. Today's video is about my most and least worn jewelry pieces. Just to make this video easier to watch, I've categorised these fine jewelry pieces into earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets and watch. These pieces feature some of the exquisite jewelry brands such as Van Cleef and Arpels, Cartier, Hermes, Rolex and Tiffany and Co. For me, having a carefully selected jewelry collection is part of creating a curated and complete wardrobe.Do you invest in luxury find jewelry too? If so, what are the jewelry pieces you find worth buying? xx

    In my twenties, I was all about buying only bags and shoes. Now in my thirties, I am putting my money into fine jewelry. I appreciate the quality of VCA and Cartier pieces every time I look at them. VCA do the prettiest chains 🥰 I love the sweets.

      Don't fool yourself into thinking fine jewelry is not the luxury purchase that purses and shoes are. I'm a jewelry lover saying so. You just need a few loved pieces, then put the rest of your discretionary income into the bank or into mutual funds, as it's the only true investment. Everything else mentioned is luxury spending.

I recently bought a rose gold Vintage Alhambra necklace (with diamonds) and am wondering if I should've got the yellow gold instead. They have the rose coming in June but no yellow gold stock :(.

    Jewelry are indeed the finishing touch that elevate an outfit. Thank you for sharing your collection. It took me a long time to understand my taste (mostly dainty) but also to balance my athletic long lean frame with pieces that will bring my feminine side. I own diamonds and necklace studs (unbranded), VCA frivole mini set, VCA onyx vintage alhambra, VCA vintage gold Yellow, VCA perlee signature bracelet which i stack with a one motif onyx sweet alhambra, a few cartier pieces like the Small 6 diamonds Love which works perfectly fine for my personality amulette MOP , Messika Baby move and Mauboussin (Valentine) etc. Costume jewelry are usually statement earrings from a French house : Gavilanes. you have a beautiful collection and I can't wait to get the sweet alhambra vintage in yellow gold since onyx and mop are the least used in my daily wear.

    Beautiful collection. I agree when it comes to diamonds. I have a couple of diamond bangles from a local jeweler who is a friend and I got a very good price for the quality. I tend to buy solitaire style diamond jewelry and I like to buy from Blue Niles. I get to pick the stones I want and the setting I want. I picked up a solitaire diamond necklace. I picked .50 carat VVS2 quality and D in color which is colorless in Ideal cut. Which is the best cut to maximize the amount of sparkles. All stone comes with an GIA certificate and 30 days return policy no questions ask so I feel secure buying from them.

    In the US, the GIA rates diamonds to help you understand the quality of the diamond on the four C's, as well as other features (like florescence). So, I don't see the need to pay the huge Tiffany premium. A quick look at the GIA certificate and 30 minutes reading up on the features of a diamond can ensure you get a great stone! So, we got my engagement from a local jeweler. In the US, the only places to definitely avoid are mall jewelery stores like Kay and Zales.

    I have a pair of diamond stud earrings instead of an engagement ring! I knew a ring would sit in its box and hardly be worn so earrings were the better choice as I rarely take them out. I love the MoP VCA pieces but the vintage size. Your collection is lovely.

      Lil Rockapotamus i have a diamond engagement ring and i only wear it on weddings. i even changed the 4 prong setting to a bezel thinking it would work and i could wear it more often since the 4 prong gets on my childs clothes when i carry her (im a full time housewife with a 2yr old). i think diamond engagement rings are great when you dont have little kids around

    • @ColourfulNoir

      For me the vintage alhambra pendant is a bit too noticeable as a daily necklace. I think if you already have a simple piece for daily wear, a vintage alhambra pendant might be worth looking into xx

    • @digiart21
      @digiart21 4 роки тому +1

      Hi A, just to help give you a balanced/additional view, I got the vintage and honestly from a distance it's small enough to be understated but still big enough to get equal spotlight and not disappear with your clothes, hair and accessories, a perfect size. This also depends on your size also. If you're tiny like our gorgeous Eileen then either will work but forms being size 12, the sweet will be disproportionately small and be "swallowed up".

    Don't let go of the long necklace. Maybe you can get a shorter chain for the pendent. It looks like it's separate and you can get something less delicate for the long chain. I wish my mom would have gotten Van Cleef jewelry years ago. They are classic and will never go out of style and show that you do have style. As far as the bracelet goes, yes, your taste very well may change when you're older. I Love your videos and I am now subscribed.

Can’t decide rather to keep or exchange.

The jewellery shop I go to...Google Chong Lee Jewellery at Singapore. It's near Lavender MRT. Quoted me 4 grams of gold S$320. Diamonds $500. Workmanship $100 Singapore $. If actual work is less than 4 grams of gold, they will charge less. So I am expecting the bill to be S$920 and below. I have known them over 10 yrs. Don't ask them to copy Cartier love or VC perlee.

    I really enjoyed seeing your fine jewelry collection. I'm a senior and have been collecting fine jewelry for more than 40 yrs. I am allergic to many metals so have never been able to buy costume jewelry. At this point I would guess that I have 50 to 60 pieces. I agree with you that diamond studs are a wise first choise. That was the first piece of fine jewelry that I purchased. The 2nd piece was a diamond pendant, then Akoya pearl studs, Akoya pearl strand, and I don't remember what order after that. I have always tried to be very careful to select classic pieces. You have made some very good choices. Other pieces that are classic and never go out of style are bangle bracelets, hoop earrings, and the love knot earrings that were gifted to you at Christmas. I bought my love knots way back in the 70s. With the exception of one or two pieces, I think your jewelry will pass the test of time. Be careful not to get trendy, I made that mistake a few times. You are off to a great start, thank you for sharing your collection , it's beautiful.

As it is still difficult to get and try in store 😬, would you mind mesure the width difference between the two (I can’t find this information anywhere) it will really help me to make my mind about these rings before buying 😉 ....

    My most worn items are my gold Rolex Oyster and my Omega 18k gold bamboo ring; I tend to swap them them over less and less these days, and working from home doesn't help. I have a vast collection of jewellery which I have purchased over many, many years but for some reason I always tend to reach for the same thing. Maybe I have just lost my enthusiasm! I don't want to sell any of it as I enjoy looking at it (haha) and I only have a son so he is not interested in inheriting it. First world problems Eileen...........🙈😀 Lastly, the first thing to come off when I get home (after my shoes) is my jewellery. I don't feel comfortable wearing expensive jewellery around the house.
