Piaget uses great techniques to create their jewelry and the best quality gems. I love their playful designs. Now, Sidney, you can't be stingy with the Mrs.! Remember, a happy wife, means a happy home! Doesn't she deserve something sparkly? LOL! Cheers, D...

At the moment, all available funds have gone either towards orange boxes (bags) or wooden boxes (watches) May have to start a third saving account for the bling blings!

Well, Hermes bags...

Thanks, Mike!

I think sometimes the fusion of watches and jewelry can be a little awkward, but IMO Piaget does it with panache! I like how playful these pieces are. How 'bout a little something nice for the Mrs.? Cheers, Daos

Wow, definitely some "red carpet" worthy items!

Piaget continues to dazzle us with a stunning jewelry collection! I hope the MRS. doesn't see these, or I might have to sell the house, some cars, and maybe a kidney ; ) Thanks for sharing these beautiful items with us. Best regards, Dino
