You’re absolutely right on the social media bubble! I hate it when I see comments like “everyone is talking about Cartier and VCA.” No. The ladies in my circle don’t even know these brands and I’ve never seen anyone with them on (I’m in the Midwest). I’m the only one with these pieces bc I’m a sucker for luxury. lol. But yes, they do cost a pretty penny, but so worth it! And the people who say Cartier and VCA are boring and overdone are probably the ones that are jealous that they can’t afford it, or just hate their own lives in general. The Cartier love bracelet is one of the best bang for your buck when it comes to luxury brands bc Cartier puts a lot of gold into that bracelet. And it’s a solid, sturdy, subtle bracelet that you could wear for life. And they also have great after care services. For example, my clash bracelet needed repairs on the clasp, and Cartier fixed it “complimentary” without charging me a dime, and they even shipped it to my house overnight. Everything was done on their dime, all I had to do was drop it off at their boutique and wait two weeks. Because of that I love Cartier even more. Top notch service.
I’ve actually only had 2 people in my life recognise my VCA and ask if that’s what it was otherwise no one has a clue they just think it’s a pretty bracelet and that’s what I like. I don’t need people to recognize it and I’m actually glad they don’t. I love Cartier, the original love bracelet is so thick and solid it definitely is bang for your buck, so is the JUC very thick. I haven’t seen the clash in real life I’m looking forward to going into the boutique next week to check it out along with the watches 😍 Thank you for your comment I appreciate your input 😉
@@hmoobmama I love my pieces and they do have lots of great memories behind them as they are all gifts but in LA, they are definitely over done and EVERYONE knows them
I think Cartier and vca were just a trend. Although I still love my pieces and will cherish them forever, I’ve moved on to more unique pieces, like unbranded diamond pieces, gemstone jewelry, and even vintage costume jewelry! Now it’s about finding a jewelry piece that no one has! lol.
Love your collection! I purchased the Cartier tank in yellow gold for vday, have the VCA guilloche bracelet and the a full mini frivole set . I just purchased the yellow gold diamond Alhambra pendant! My god it’s STUNNING and so special. No one really has it either. I absolutely love jewelry. I feel extremely happy with them on🩵🩵I don’t mind spending thousands of dollars on jewelry. I’m planning to purchase a yellow gold Rolex datejust soon.
I’m the same I don’t mind spending money on jewellery because I love it so much. Sounds like you have one incredible collection!! 😍 Diamond alhambra is on another level 🙌🏻
This is a really good point you make while showing the van cleef and arpels bracelet, it's all too easy to get stuck scrolling through various websites that give the impression everyone is rolling in wealth and can build a massive collection of luxury jewelry, but then you go grocery shopping, or out to dinner and rarely do you see anyone wearing anything except a wedding ring and maybe a generic looking necklace. Also, your collection is excellent! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your comment and watching that far. It’s so true though, I get over things before I’ve even brought them because I see so much of it on social media sometimes its good to take a step back 👍🏻
@@billiexluxury So true. I collect watches and fall victim to the same trap. Taking the time to make sure you really want something is good, but making sure to not expose all of it's secrets is just as important. Thanks for the response and take care!
For the necklace, maybe you can consider getting the sweet alhambra in hammered rosegold so you can wear it all the time and it’s just dainty for an everyday use. For the watch, since all of your jewelry are in yellow/rose gold, the two tone panther watch would be the best so it will suit well with your other jewelry. Based on my experience (I’m an all yellow gold jewelry person), bought my Cartier Ballon Bleu all steel watch as I was thinking before it’s way cheaper than the two tone but now I have so much regret ‘coz it doesn’t match my jewelry. Thinking of adding now a small Panthere in two tone. 😅
I’ve asked about the hammered and there not available at all here in Australia my SA said there not even taking orders 😥 Thank you for sharing your watch story that’s exactly what I wondered if I got all steel would I regret my purchase later and with I got the two toned so I think your absolutely right!
I just love how cohesive and balanced your jewelry collection is! I always come back to your channel for inspiration. I actually don’t like massive stacks of jewelry like some influencers wear. It’s overwhelming to look at, but I think it’s hard not to wear all of our favorite pieces at the same time. Three things left on my list.. love cuff or small bracelet, small love ring, and a beaded chain. Probably spaced over the next 2 years!
Thank you so much for returning to my channel I really appreciate it. I also think its overwhelming to look at a massive stack and all of the beautiful pieces seem to get lost twisted around eachother. I really wanted the love cuff but when I tried it on instore I felt like I was between sizes it was either too tight or too loose, I found it fit very differently to the love bracelet so thats something to be aware of, you really need to go in and try it on. I have the small love ring and find it very comfortable to wear and I also have a beaded chain from Tiffany and I wear it daily and love it. You've picked some great jewellery to add to your collection
I love the chalcedony bracelet I would get that one but I dont own anything in white gold thats the only thing putting me off, the stone is divine! Do you find its hard wearing?
Hi Billie!!! Babe your collection is stunning!! Seriously I’m crying one of my biggest regrets is letting go of my guilloché set I just freaked out after getting reviews about how bad it can scratch and unfortunately I don’t have a lifestyle that won’t have that happen. Hence, the reason I have to have like the solid flat gold items from Cartier… but I wanted to show you something look up the F is Fendi bangle 🫣 it’s not fine jewelry it’s costume, but do you think it’s way too close to the full Parave from Cartier love??? I really want it but I feel like maybe it’s just not gonna have that same effect as fine jewelry what do you think?
Hi Jerusha I’m a huge fan of yours so cool you watched my latest video 🫶🏻 the guilloche is so beautiful, I also have little kids which makes it hard we wear. I really only wear it when I’m going out somewhere and not with them lol 😆 I get what you mean about the flat bangles I totally agree there much easier to wear. I hadn’t seen the F is Fendi bracelet but it looks really cool like a mix between the pave love and the love cuff. I’m not a huge fan of costume jewellery and have actually sold most of mine now but that bracelet is really nice!
That’s awesome which area do you work in? I’m a scrub scout 👍🏻 I think your right everything I own is gold and I might regret it if I don’t get the two tone
So excited to see you again! Love all your fine jewelry! I think you should either get the stainless steel or all gold Cartier watch. The mixed metal is so expensive for what you get.
I would absolutely loveee the all gold but its approx $40k I think which is wayyy out of my budget unfortunately 😢 I hope I like the stainless steel in person so im swayed to buy the cheaper one haha
I would love the full Cartier gold Panthiere watch but its $22K! 😮. I hope to add the Cartier Love bracelet in Small this year. You have a great collection. And you are right, the stainless steel is around $3k here so big price difference. I think it still looks very nice though.
I’m just not sure i can justify such a high price for a watch, it’s a lot of money.. I wish i could buy the all gold that would be the ultimate! Thank you for your comment and please subscribe your support means so much 😉
Love all your fine jewelry! Those earrings are gorgeous! Are they the rose gold with diamonds?. I have LOVE bracelet and wore it for 6 months....I had to finally take it off as I was so afraid of bumping it. I recently purchased the Panthere watch med size in two tone. I wear mainly gold jewelry and it's a great watch...if you can and really want that one the most I would buy it as the prices just keep going up. Seffie says buy what you absolutely love and what calls you. Enjoy all your fabulous pieces! 😻
The Bvlgari studs are white mother of pearl. Do you have the love in the thin version like me? I will go in to the boutique next week to look at the Panthere watch and I’d also like to try on the regular brushed gold love and the regular JUC as I’m not really sure which way to swing 😊 Have you worn the watch in water? It is waterproof to a certain depth but I’d love to know if anyone has actually tried it. Thank you for your comment and please subscribe your support means so much 😉
I totally agree. When you are on social media, you start thinking that everyone owns the cartier love bracelet and VCA pendants and bracelets. But, in reality, I've rarely seen anyone wearing these pieces in person. I also think a lot of jewellery that people are wearing on social media is fake. I've seen the fake pieces being sold for $20 at a nearby mall LOL
There’s no way people can afford to own so many pieces there has to be some super fakes in there. The love bracelet has lost its shine because of social media I feel
That was a great video ❤ I think the onyx sweet studs will look beautiful on you and also next to the bulgari. The sweet is my favorite one so comfy. I am also in the watch game lost lol. Same thing I would want the gold tank or panthere but it's so high priced so I looked at steel and two toned and I am not sure if I want a compromise watch or rather no watch lol. Your collection is beautiful ❤ thank you for sharing!!!
It’s such a hard decision because yes all steel is a compromise but I can’t justify the price of the gold watch. The prices are sooo high!! Your so lucky getting hammered sweet earrings my SA said they’ve stopped taking orders because there’s so many people are waiting on and they don’t know when they will be coming 😞 I would love sweet hammered
@billiexluxury yes they are really nice but the onyx will be equally nice. Also in case you want the clou definitely get regular size! I was set on small with diamonds and tried both on over a year. When I went in to buy i out if a sudden redecided regular no diamonds ( because of price otherwise I love the diamond one) and I am still glad I did. I have a video on it. I can't wait to see the sweet onyx on you. Since you said vintage alhambra is to big for you you could look at mini frivole that looks great with guilloché ❤️
Hi Billie I remember watching the video where you unboxed the guilloche bracelet ❤. I have several Guilloché pieces and I wear them a lot when I go out but I like you, always have to clear my hands off the jewelry! I take off my rings and bracelets and cannot sleep with any, I only sleep w/earrings and necklaces if any:). I don’t have the small love but the cuff because of the same reason. As per the watch, I am also looking into Cartier watches for a daily and Rolex for a more “special times” kind of watch. I agree 💯 with you about the panthere as I also thought the same thing. Personally,I am leaning towards a steel watch (not mixed gold) from Cartier and a mixed gold maybe from Rolex or another brand. I also feel that if you are going for a steel and gold Cartier watch maybe the ballon or the tank are much better options. Love your collection, we have similar opinions and I also on that jewelry journey and agreed about what you mentioned on other RU-vidrs and the massive jewelry collection 😂😉
Hello and thanks so much for watching! How do you find the Cartier Love cuff? I've always been intrigued. I tried it on once but I was between size 17 and 18. I wear a 17 in the small Love bracelet but for some reason it felt tight on me the day I tried it on. Maybe I was having a swollen day lol. Which size do you wear? I'd love a Rolex, I've been on the waitlist for 2 years and still nothing. I actually went back instore recently to check if I was still on the list and yep still there but no luck as yet.. I like your idea the steel for Cartier watch and two tone for the Rolex (if I ever get my hand on one). I might take a look at the ballon watch, I'm not a huge fan of the tank even though it is so iconic. Love to hear your thoughts, keep them coming 😀
Hello dear Billie , you have a nice collection though, enjoy it , I suggest you also to try to get the Rolex date just in two tones or stain steel only instead of getting the panthère watch and for the bracelet the juc is a great option or look also to the panthère bracelet it’s sooooooo beautiful and can add a rock touch to your collection that is already very feminine ❤
Thanks for the tip! Ive been on the waitlist at Rolex for almost 2 years its such a long wait! Hopefully sometime soon I will get the call.. I will look at the panthere bracelet thanks for that
You have such a beautiful and classic collection! Love your VCA and Cartier pieces! How do you feel about taking off the love bracelet every day? I would love to add one to my collection but I am the same with taking off all my jewelry and wondered if it would wear down the closure over time. Thanks for sharing! 💓
I’ve had the love for a couple of years now, I don’t wear it everyday maybe once a week. I haven’t noticed any difference in it, it feels very secure. I’m not concerned about that happening at all i feel like its very well made so i think it would be a safe purchase for you. Thank you for watching and leaving me a comment 😀
No they actually don’t seem to scratch each other at all really, only a little on the side but they don’t connect on the outside where the screw indents are if that makes sense.
Pricing isn't necessarily related to the level of famousness of a house. VCA and Cartier are more well known due to social media but the old money rich (before social media) knew Chaumet or Chopard as much as Cartier. Chaumet was actually the first jeweler to have a boutique on place Vendôme, back in 1812!
