People. People. Remember when I said that I was on the hunt for a beautiful circle ring? I had bought a few cheap versions over the years to test things out while I looked for a real one in silver or gold. Then I discovered the Elsa Peretti Sevillana and I wanted it! Needed it! Remember all of that?
I went to buy the Sevillana when I was in Toronto last month, but Tiffany & Co. was out of stock in my size. What!? I was quite disappointed, yes, but I knew it wasn’t the end of the world. (I was also pretty surprised that the Sherway location only had one – one – in stock!)
Elsa Peretti Sevillana ring, Tiffany & Co., $470
Well, my friends, it might have been a good thing that the Sevillana was out of stock because I recently discovered that the Sevillana now has some serious competition! Surprised? I was too. You see, I was browsing the Christofle site (I’m in a French frame of mind these days), when I came across this beauty:
circle ring – Collection 925, Christofle, $380
Gorgeous! French! Oui, oui!
So, here’s the plan. Since I am going to Paris in a couple of weeks (eek!), I’m going to check out the Christofle circle ring in person and, if I love it, it’s coming home with me. If not, then I’ll head back to Tiffany’s. I just love both of them so it’s a pretty tight competition.
What do you think? Which one do you like better?
umm..though decision. Both are lovely.
If they weren’t so similiar I would buy both of them.
I know you’ll make your decision once you’re in beautiful Paris.
Enjoy the ride and have fun.
Ha ha – well, I definitely don’t need both! I’m going to try on the Christofle ring and see how comfortable it is. It’ll be great to see it in real life. I feel very lucky that this is a decision I actually have to make!
For a similar style, you should check out Rebekka Notkin (her Silhouettes Collection) a Danish goldsmith and my dear cousin! She is making our wedding bands!
Love the blog!
Oh wow Maia – what a beautiful collection! Thank you for bringing it my way. My eye is really drawn to the Seasons, Present, and Moment collections. I need to book a flight to Denmark! Any chance that I can find the collection in Toronto, New York, or Paris? Thought I might as well ask!
