Tiffany & Co. - Paloma Picasso XOXO Ring

An addition to my collection!

It's a thousand times pretty in reality and hundred thousand times more delicate and cuter!

In fact there was only ONE ring left in the store in a huge size and had to be specially ordered.

That's how wanted it is.

Tiffany 1837 - Interlocking Circles Ring

I finally gotten around to buying the Tiffany's Interlocking Circles Ring that I've had my eye on for a while.

It's so simple and elegant.

Housed in a building steeped in history, with its wooden floor boards and neo-classical sandstone facade, the jewellery store, made famous by Audrey Hepburn in that movie - "Breakfast at Tiffanys", is situated on the corner of Martin Place (which is made famous by the Matrix trilogy) and Castlereagh Street in Sydney. The only thing that is evident that it's Tiffany's is its little blue sign outside the grand, classical building.

It makes me happy.

It's a lot prettier in real-life. The photo on the tiffany and co. website does not show the beauty of the ring.

new additions to my family..

My family abandoned me over the December Christmas season to go to Taipei and Hong Kong, while I slave away at work. I guess, they almost, but not really all that close, made up for it by getting me TWO tiffany and co. jewellery.

A tiffany and co. key with their signature, Tiffany blue coloured heart on the handle of the key and a bracelet - a very dainty one because, I really despise the thick chunky bracelets - it's a beaded bracelet with a mini and very cute "return to tiffany" heart.

I have yet to take photos of the actual jewellery, so you just have to be contented with the website photos.

 

It's sooo cute!

 

 

I just adore this. It's feminine, dainty, cute and sweet. Nothing like those chain bracelets - i really don't like those - so chunky!!

"What I've found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffany's. It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there..."- Holly Golightly, Breakfast at Tiffany's, 1958

You walk through the dark wooden door, climb the staircase, where at the top you are greeted by impeccably dressed doorman with a huge smile, black suit and white gloves. Although, the Tiffany and Co. jewellery store in Perth is quiet small compared to that of Sydney, the magic that takes place there is just as amazing.

On the second floor of the building hides the precious diamonds - rings, necklaces, bracelets - the very things that makes Tiffany's so famous, while the first floor, just above street level, jewellery of a more reserved and every-day wearable things lay - just waiting to be worn by beautiful, gorgeous women, girls, teens of all ages - the prefect present for any milestone or for just becauses.

I love just browsing through their diamond collection, fiddling with their charms, trying on the necklaces and bracelets.. but the best bit?..I love watching the Tiffany's salesperson tie up the little blue box with the white satin ribbon and neatly placing it into their blue signature bag. Divine.

My little treasures of Tiffany marks every milestone I can think of. Beautiful treasures each holding special memories - the way a Tiffany should feel - special, unique, memorable. A visit to Tiffany's should always be an adventure.

Tiffany Heart Key - from their key collection (shown above and below)

The Tiffany and Co. key marked my year as a university graduate and the start of the rest of my working life *DEEP SIGH*. Marking the fact that I am now to be responsible.

 Tiffany Charms - Cupcake and "Return to Tiffany and Co New York" Heart Charm

The two above charms represents the love that other people have for me and how it feels to be love. How sweet love is or can be.

I am yet to receive the diamond Tiffany - but like the wise Holly Golightly said, "it's tacky to wear diamonds before you're forty", well, it's not all entirely true, but you know what I mean... I hope.
