Right, so, GIVENCHY jewelry. It’s a *thing*. You see it everywhere, dripping off influencers, peeking out from under blazers in magazines… I mean, it’s *Givenchy*, for crying out loud. We’re not exactly talking about Claire’s here (no offense, Claire’s, you served me well in my youth).
And honestly? Sometimes I look at it and I’m like, “Okay, *that’s* cool,” and other times I’m just…confused. Like, is that *really* worth the price tag? You know? ‘Cause let’s be real, some of those necklaces could probably pay my rent for, like, a month. Maybe two, if I’m really pinching pennies.
FARFETCH is throwing around “100s of new season pieces,” which sounds intimidating, tbh. Too much choice gives me a headache. And Neiman Marcus is all about “summer wallets, sunglasses, belts, and more,” which, uh, yeah, okay, but we’re supposed to be focusing on the *bling*, people! Get with the program!
Saks is promising free shipping and returns, which is always a plus. Nothing worse than ordering something online and then realizing it looks like a dog chewed it up in transit and then you have to, like, *pay* to send it back. Disaster!
Nordstrom, bless their heart, mentions David Yurman and Marco Bicego, which makes me think they’re trying to lure in the “I want to look fancy but not *too* fancy” crowd. Smart move, Nordstrom, smart move.
But what I really find interesting is that one little blurb about “traditional techniques and the very finest materials” from… somewhere? The storelocator? Who even uses those anymore? Anyway, that’s the thing that makes me pause. It’s like, yeah, okay, it’s a brand name, but are they *actually* putting effort into making quality stuff?
I mean, I *hope* so. Because if I’m dropping serious cash on a GIVENCHY earring (or, let’s be honest, *dreaming* of dropping serious cash), I want to know it’s going to last. I don’t want it turning my ear green after a week. That’s just embarrassing.
