Hi!
My mother has a GC and given me the task of buying jewelry at Judith Ripka Boutique. I have a few months but I thought I''d start looking now. I checked out her sight which doesn''t have that much info. except for a link to Neiman Marcus and some of her pieces, and I''ve seen some pieces at other stores as well. I have to buy the pieces at the JR Boutique, but I''m assuming all the pieces will be available at her boutique. Also, I don''t know if anyone is familiar with her collection, but I wanted to know if I should hold out, as in is she going to come up with a new line of jewelry in the next few months and should I wait?
I am having a very hard time picking pieces since I don''t know what stones are real or not and their value. She wants it to be real if possible and I don''t have a clue what to get, she''s leaving it up to me with her final approval. The pieces or piece will be shared between the two of us. She said I could use it on my DAY one day but from what I''ve seen it really doesnt look like wedding jewelry to me, so just everyday or night jewelry is ok.
Please help me find nice pieces or a piece! I need some ideas. I have to spend the $ or it will go to waste. Oh yeah, and if the total is a bit over $6000 after tax (I''ll have to ask specifics) that''s ok, we want to use up the full amount.
On quick glance, I kind of like the Olivia Canary Pendant/ring/earrings, but are they real? I don''t know anything about stones. Is it better just to get whatever comes in just diamonds and the 18k gold like the Pave Cuff or Garland Pave ring?
Suggestions welcome!!
Thank you!
