chanel-amor= i SO understand what you mean!! i mean it kind of annoys me when i have to take it off when i was my hand and im knid of obsessed with washing my hands and it owuold be a pain if i get it scratched and stuff totally and when you wear like rings people would want to try it or see it and stuff but as a necklace its a display =P but its a thosouand more >< i guess its all worth it tho =D

 

[hikarupanda]

madem0iselle, I forgot what the SA said exactly but she said white gold has some kind of elements that makes it more expensive. You better ask the SA what that is, I just totally forgot. I have tried both yellow gold and white gold and white gold is just more me, white gold looks more modern, chic and young, and plus white gold looks better with my skin tone.

I also get kinda obsessed when wearing "special event rings" too.....well, let me explain, I am very obsessed and try my best not to scratch a ring when I wear one, but that's basically impossible. So, I have 2 types of rings, I have "everyday rings" vs "special event rings". For example, my Cartier trinity ring is my everyday ring and I allow myself to wear it care-free and it's ok that I scratch it. versus my "special event ring" like the camelia ring, that I would only wear it when I know my hands won't get dirty or that I don't have to all moving around and carrying things. That's my theory about rings, sounds kinda silly uh??

Well, I think you have to go see them in person to determine whether you want to get the ring or the pendant first, though I think it is harder to get the ring since the SA told me the smaller version (the version I got) is more rare, compare to the large one, and plus they have to find the ring size that fit you. the heart pendant, on the other hand, is a new model that just came out in February, and it's one size fit all, so I guess it is easier to get a hold on one. But to me, I definitely want to get both (and more!!) Sounds silly too, but just looking at/admiring the fine jewelry pieces, the craftmanship, the materials used, the design just make me happy even when I am not wearing them, I am not just a handbag addict but also a jewelry freak!!

oh, I forgot to mention, I tried the white gold heart pendent with a black silk cord and wear it as a choker and it was so chic!! The whilte gold one is more versatile that it can look more lady-like with a white gold chain, and for a modern chic look the black silk or leather cord would be prefect. The yellow gold one only looks good with the yellow gold chain and not so good with the black silk cord IMO, so that's also why I would go for the more versatile white gold pendant.

 

[madem0iselle]

yeah i do agree with you for the white gold it is a lot more versatile than the gold, i have very tanned skin so i think id go for gold since also my mom got me the chopard in white gold and its also a heart shape.
youre soo cuteee!! talkng about your obsession with special event ring and everday ring! ahjahaha and etc! i totally agree with your thoughts!

ok so i guess ill start saving up for the chanel mademoiselle camelia gold pendant...man thats going to take forever.. ><

about the camelia i dont know if is hould get it cause its not an everday ring and i dont want to go overly paranoid with my ring and stuff! and if i wear it at school id be MORE paranoid! im already suer paranoid with my chloe paddington imagine the ring ahahah

omgosh i can so imagine how chic it would look on a black cord !!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hikaru youre an infleunce for my SHOpping DISEASE!!!! LOLS jkjk

Sorry, i am such a bad influence uh!

Yea, I'd really need to start saving for the pendant too!! If there's no cute handbags coming out in the next season hopefully i can save enough to buy the pendant during Fall. If you have tanned skin the yellow gold should look great on you! And yea if you already have a white gold heart shaped pendant, then go for the yellow gold this time.

As for the ring, I wouldn't wear it to go to school/work too! It is really a special ring for special occasion. I know i won't wear it a lot too but this is really my dream ring. I wanted to get it since last August because I like that it is like a piece of art, sculpture, it's not like an ordinary everyday thing. But last August I only saw the large version and thought it was the only size they make. Not until 2 weeks ago I passed by the boutique again and saw the smaller version in the display window and I thought "wait a minute, this one looks smaller than the one I tried! Let me go ask the SA and try this one and see if they actually make a smaller size!" And wa la! They DO indeed make a smaller version which just seems so perfect on my finger. That moment I felt like I found my long lost lover (ok, I am kinda exaggerating but you get the idea!) So this ring is special to me. Really special indeed!

Dear Hikarupanda,

Love your ring! I LOVE chanel white ceramic.. so durable and beautiful! Definitely white is best!!

If I were to get one, I would need a small one as well. If I were a size 6 ring would the size 50 be a good fit? They only come in two sizes?

or is size 50 and 52 only pertaining to the size of the camelia flower?

shouldn't they size the ring for you if it costs that much!

and also, is the base gold or silver?

Thanks for posting the LOVELY photos!!

candicec, I read your post again and I thought you misunderstood what I mean by the large and smaller version, and I think I didn't answer your question clearly.

The camelia on the ring comes in 2 sizes (the size of the flower itself), a large camelia flower and the smaller camelia flower, what I got was the smaller flower. But of course either the large or smaller camelia flower ring comes in all standard European ring sizes, like mine is 50, then 51, 52, 53 and so on.

my biggest obstacle in terms of saving for the pendant would be if chanel will have more cute handbags coming out.....

And yup, I guess you know the answer, go for the pendant if you are looking into something you can wear a lot. But do go to the store coz pictures don't do justice to all these fine pieces. And you never know till you actually try them on your neck and fingers! Keep me posted on what you decide and your saving journey, we will save together!

Could everyone please remember to credit their pictures properly otherwise they will be deleted. 'My photobucket/My hard drive' etc is not a valid source.

So if you took the pic of your own stuff, and upload it from photobucket, how the heck are you supposed to credit it???

Let me report what I did today...!
The new collection Privee Les Perles de Chanel arrived Hong Kong and I went for private viewing(not THAT private anyway)...!

The pearls are absolutely gorgeous!!! Such fine piece of art and yet soooo expensive....! I have my eyes on this set of south pearls(3 different tone of color) and diamond necklace but its so expensive..! Not an instant purchase of course! There is this another star ring that I like....the diamond shines like nothing else....a truly timeless design, designed by Coco Mademoiselle in 1937...sighs, Fine jewelry is so gorgeous...

I got a discount for the jewelry if I want to purchase them but I wonder how much is given out normally...?

 

[madem0iselle]

augustus- OMGOSH omgomogmom 'the diamond shines like nothing else' that sounds absolutely flawless. Im dying to see the diamond necklace, south perals and that ring! wihc is all of it!
and YOU GET DISCOUNTS?!?!?!? are you a VIP?!?! they didnt tell you how much discount is given?

 

[suziq]

hikarupanda - congrats on your ring! it's gorgeous!
in the latest instyle (may) there's a picture of rachel bilson wearing the camelia ring with a chloe dress in a photo shoot. the ring really stands out and looks absolutely beautiful. sorry, don't have a scanner to post the pic.

 

[fab_fifties_fille]

So if you took the pic of your own stuff, and upload it from photobucket, how the heck are you supposed to credit it???

Could you please just state that it's your own picture, because if it's from your own camera it's not necessary to credit (unless of course it's a picture of a magazine article etc). It's difficult to tell at times which photos are peoples own and which are from the internet. So it would be greatly appreciated if you could just state it's your own picture so that the mods don't have to presume it's from the internet and unfortunately delete it. Thanks.

 

[augustus]

madem0iselle, the star ring is not made out of one big diamond but several tiny ones..my grammer mistake again...and yet, as "small" as they are, the sparks are FIERCE!!! I mean, I placed them under the desk, and they still shine in the darkness....! I think even the diamonds are of highest grade, and considering the price: around 5000USD, I would think it looks like something costing more...not an expert here with diamonds and stuff but its just so classy, and can be either young like a girl or elegant like a lady depending how you look at it...! The design is modern, and timeless, considering the shape is still so fresh after 70 years...!

And gosh, the pearls the pearls are to die for. I know that south pearls can be expensive or cheap but the ones I saw are all in PERFECT circles, and they are all 11mm+...none of the colors look the same, even though it is of 3 tone, showing that the pearls are only natural...not like the mikimoto pearls. There is only 2 of such necklace made right now on Earth, and if anyone misses it, they probably have to wait 2 years+....

No, I don't consider myself a VIP although the salesladies are good friends(kind of) of me...I am too young to be a super VIP. I think these jewels are so expensive that a discount must be considered...But I feel it is kind of little(personally thinking), though the manager assured me the discount is for "SUPER VIP only"...I was like, HUH!?

anyway, you should definitely take a look of it if you have a chance.

and for the south pearls are you saying that chanel only makes 2 of the south peral necklaces?!!?!? i wonder how much it would cost ><

Oh yeah my mom is like super duper good freinds with one SA at chanel cause she buys alot and they would call her if anythings on sale, like im wondering can you get like relationshup discounts? lolslols!
