Buying dupes or fakes is a waste of money, imo. Either save up for the real thing or buy something cheaper (there are sooooo many small brands that are cheaper than big brands and make quality items). That’s my mindset on that. Anyway, your watches are GORGEOUS!

🎉🎉🎉 good video thank you for posting your collection was definitely inspirational

I have got the smile necklace in silver. It still is one of my favorite pieces!

I am a 30 year vintage fine jewelry collector! I love your video!

You have such a great collection. I love Tiffany and vintage, too. A great place to look for vintage clip-on earrings is estate sales—Monet, Trifari... all of those mid-century, retro bangers can easily be found at reasonably good prices. I agree with you about garnets. It's my birthstone, and I have had a hard time finding garnet jewelry I like. I am most drawn to Bohemian garnet jewelry. The style was produced from the late to the early 1900s, so it has a really beautiful antique flair. Check it out if you're interested. I also wasn't too big a fan of Yurman. His stuff doesn't visually appeal to me in general. However, I bought a few of his pieces over the years, and I reach for them more than anything else in my collection. It gives my lazy style an edge. I hope you get a classic cable one day in garnet:) These personal jewelry collection videos are the best, so thanks for sharing yours.

I agree with you re the dupes!

I’m a January baby and my stone is garnet of course… the best garnet stones are from Africa…. there’s Demantoid…Tsavorite is another top tier quality but their a green color… the best reddish/orangy top tier is the Spessartite which is also from Africa specifically from Nigeria…. would be my dream to have a ring or some jewelry piece with that top tier garnet😃

I’m a huge watch collector and I have mostly authentic designer brand watches but I also have a few Amazon designer inspired watches as well and trust me the ones I get are the same if not better than the original ones…. the quality is just as good…made with the same materials/metals and the look is just as stunning if not more than the original… you just have to know your stuff from quality to look!!!! But you do have a point if ppl don’t have watch and jewelry knowledge they will just buy watches or jewelry pieces just to make ppl think they have the real thing and they really don’t have the quality or the look which defeats the purpose especially if you truly love watches!!!! looking for distinct styles and what you love about it and what speaks to you makes a complete difference!!! So you’re right and I as a watch and jewelry collector can appreciate your point of view and can understand exactly what you’re saying…. love your collection and you have inspired me well…. I’m a youtuber as well so I’ve done these videos too and they really do help share who you are and they really help other ppl so thanks for sharing… I’ve subscribed to your channel… look forward to seeing more of your videos😃❤️

As for watches my favorite luxury brands are Rolex and Cartier…More affordable designer brands that I love are Michael Kors…Pandora… Tiffanys…and Guess😃  My favorite of what you showed was that titlted watch face… and the Tiffany necklace and the tennis bracelet😃❤️

You definitely influenced me to buy a 14k gold vintage watch 😩

Your hair ❤❤

My all time favorite jewelry brand is messika . I haven’t yet bought pasquale Bruni but love their giardini rings and earrings

I also love Bvlgari and Piaget (especially the possession bangle). Also really love boucheron serpenti Boheme line and chaumet bml line

Of the most hyped luxury brands I prefer Tiffany - especially hardwear and lock collection

Watch wise I only have the ballon bleue Cartier - have a knock off of the Royal Oak which I bought to get a bit of the feeling . I would love to get the reine de Naples watch it’s similar to your white one shaoe wise

Love your collection. I think dupes look tacky and cheap. I like your approach of finding a similar style but not a dupe.

Chicago!   Subscribed. Check out Fortune. She is into jewelry and is also 4/4

Such a lovely collection! I especially love the dinner/cocktail earrings 🤍 If you’re ever in London, The Hirst Collection in Notting Hill is a gem for similar jewellery pieces - and they also carry vintage designer finds. I’ve discovered so many treasures there! :)

I have two amazon dupes that I purchased to make sure that I liked the designer piece before splurging that kind of money on them. I'm personally glad I got the dupes first to test out because I eventually realized I got bored of the design fast! I had totally been suckered in by the influencer hype haha

By the way have you checked out Boheme serpenti styles with garnet (Boucheron)? I have the two part earring (similar to the Dior tribal in that you have a top bottom part where you have the bottom as an add-on to your top part.. in a drop shape and not with pearls of course )  and want the ring and bracelet . IMO it’s not granny like at all !

Your jewelry collection is beautiful!  I love your watches!  Thank you for sharing.  I saw a expert watch seller and she stated that watches can loose 40 percent of their value.  Therefore it is not recommended to buy them new vs. vintage.

Soooo, its performanative to buy knockoffs but not performative to wear a watch that doesn't work because it resembles a high end watch???? ...ok. all of it is performative my dear. The point is, live and let live. If other people want to buy dupes let them. If they want to buy knockoffs, let them. This whole video comes across very snobby for someone wearing a watch that doesn't even work. Just saying. People in glass houses.

While I don't have any dupes, this seems very judgmental.
