VCA and Cartier - Both in One Day!

I had a very fun day today visiting both VCA and Cartier. First time ever in Cartier. The SA was very nice, encouraging me to try on many, many pieces. Pieces that I would not have considered trying on myself-the Love bracelet and the Juste un Clou bracelets. I was very surprised that I liked the Juste un Clou on my wrist! My late father was a house builder, and the bracelet felt very natural to me! I did take a photo of me wearing it.
I did make a purchase - the classic Trinity ring. I've collected antique/vintage jewelry, and I like knowing the original Trinity dates back to 1924.
I told the SA I would wear it out of the store, but he insisted on gift wrapping it for me and added a box of chocolates and ring cleaner.

After Cartier, I went to VCA. They didn't have a lot in inventory, but I was able to see some pieces that I was interested in that were already purchased by others and awaiting their pickup. It was worth visiting, as I could finally see the pieces in person.

Oh, that sounds like so much fun! It's been way too long since I have been to those wonderful stores! I have the Trinity earrings and I agree that I love iconic pieces that have stood the test of time! I love the ring! I can see what the bracelet would have special meaning for you, too! Very pretty!

How amazing! Talk about a kid in a sweetshop - what a heavenly trip!

Would love to see hand shots of your ring. And buy the Juste un Clou. It looks amazing on you.

Thank you so much! The Trinity earrings are beautiful! I'm sure you enjoy wearing them.
I never would have thought I would like the bracelet- I'm such a vintage jewelry person - but I think as I'm getting older, my tastes are changing a bit.

The bracelet really did remind me of my dad ( and mom- who was always by his side helping him build the houses).
