Tamzen was just in T&C, that's how I found out about them. Some of the rings they showed were priced from $54k-$300k. They are extremely rare stones.

I'd be glad to help with bags, but as you said..they are very personal and not easy to pick out for others.

Good luck, you're a good man!

 

bought a set of these, not my picture but same design, a month ago for the gf's birthday.

put a nice dent in my wallet.

 

i killed my wife back in 2003, been hapy ever since


in yoo faayce

 

Bonita said it best !

No wife, happy life, more money !

 

Assumed. I guess these days you can never go wrong with a bag or something with diamonds.

 

Classy and perfect choices dude

 

thanks KT i'm going to hold you to it so bare with me please i got her the same clutch bag as the 1st pic attached a while ago but in a different colour judging by the hue online (hers looks more greenish).
i want to go with something larger, since i'm thinking of if we went out with the baby, thus definitely with a strap this time. so i'm thinking about one of the two attached, the blue is just a colour i digged and i am not necessarily stuck to it (or any other colour) but am leaning towards the pear-shaped (?) more than the rectangular on counts of not just volume but design as well. not sure if they are available at the local boutique though.

there's no particular reason why i feel inclined to stick with bvlgari, except for they're the first ones i spent time looking at in real, and found that i prefer them to the more "classic" stuff.
i can understand chanel's appeal, but to me their signature bags are pretty 'lazy' more than classic and as such i as a man am not sure why they cost that much when they're not as practical nor interesting although i saw a few "happy" colours, but iirc they were mostly small-sizes. and in kuwait i must make the decision right on the spot because they sell like hot cakes something else i have come to know about myself when it comes to bag-shop for her is that i never like anything in black. feels a bit depressing really.

that said, i browsed LV's site and concluded that i dislike the "Monogram canvas" and much prefer the "Damier Ebene" for that color tone, but i think i am sold on the "Damier Azur" as this canvas, so it's the 1st thing i'll look at when i go to their boutique in kuwait



let me recollect and refine some questions to see if you can help:
1. is bvlgari a wise choice still? or is sticking to the chanel/lv type more sensible? i saw dior and other brands but their stuff is a bit too glossy (?) or over the top from the little i've seen
2. should i definitely forget the question above and go with my instincts solely on design?

 

nice, got the specs?
i like it in the pic but this is the design which i was referring to that i wish to steer away from where it is all-diamond. i think i want to get something more design-oriented than stone?
nonetheless, great choice bro!

i'm kind of set on the vca ring, i think i'll make it a thing where i "build" her sets, scattered on the occasions in one given year i told vca to give me a call once it arrives and put it on hold for me to inspect and see what earrings he would have for me to combine with.
i think a ring, earrings, and a bag will make a nice trio

thanks man! i am struggling on finalizing a list to go see in real and deciding on what to get because the occasions are back-to-back

 

Thank you for the compliments on my work. I have served this forum community faithfully for almost 6 years. It means a lot to hear kinds words said about my work. FYI I do ship globally

this would be a very long response if i went into detail, but in short yes you are 100% or should I say 500% "paying for the name" Some choose to and thats fine, but if there is ever an area thats pretty much a level playing field, its jewelry, or I would not be able to exist as a business. I even clients who have posted in this thread that have decided not to pay for the name

 

My personal opinion is going to come into play heavily here, but your taste and your wife's may be completely different. I am a huge fan of Chanel, so that would be my absolute top pick. I hear what you're saying about black but keep in mind women (myself and most I know) don't think of black as depressing. It's exotic, neutral, classic, and you can never have too much!

That being said, there is nothing wrong with color, or lack of as in the Damier Azur. That is a lovely bag, keep in mind there are 3 sizes. If she will be using it as a diaper bag as well, get the GM size, it is the largest. Unless she is very petite, it shouldn't overwhelm. LV's Mahina bags are nice as well, full leather and softer to the touch. They have a gorgeous Marine blue (Stellar GM) if you are leaning towards that color.

I agree with you about Dior, never been a fan. I'm not partial to the Bvlgari, but again..just a personal opinion.

I think it's great you are putting so much thought into it. I am sure she will love whatever you choose. Keep us updated!
