My favorite category of jewelry is rings in gold and onyx. I love your channel, thanks for sharing

[@lucaspampinato789]

Hey Mel! Omg the weather here in Melbourne has been horrible hasn't it! Such a dramatic turnaround from this week to a 30 degree weekend (as I'm typing this). Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Chanel and what you bought. Defs my fave kind of jewelry is a necklace or bracelet- silver or gold and anything with diamonds or bling! Happy Xmas !

[@kelleyr8702]

Merry Christmas Mel! Personally, right now I would say gold earrings are my fav jewelry piece, although in general I am a white-gold girl ❤

[@gabeagtuca]

My favorite type of jewelry is gold rings. 😊

[@ginaho5958]

I love your idyll earring and necklace. Thank you for sharing 🫰

[@LuxPurselove]

Love all your new goodies! Chanel is so difficult now, I wanted something recently and reached out to about about 20 SA's and only 2 responded back and of course no stock.

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thanks Melinda! Can’t believe only 2 responded back their customer service really needs to improve. Still love Chanel just wish it wasn’t so hard to get the items we want Xx

[@jenniferlai653]

❤ I like necklaces , earrings and rings. I like mix of gold and white gold, precious metals . Thank you and happy holidays!

[@peaceandgrace2000]

Love your videos. I like bangles the most in white gold or sterling silver.

[@elsad100]

Aloha Mel! I was a white gold girl but recently I have been loving Rose Gold jewelry. …My favorite jewelry are necklaces. Have a wonderful week!

[@joshuasandoval895]

hi mel congrats to your new chanel bag .. the color is so beautiful. yellow is the color of joy..im kinda obsessed with the gold chain necklace and gold rectangular earings thats kinda a trend these days .. although i dont have any luxury bags as of the moment i do love watching your videos and it inspire me to have one someday .. love lots from the philippines

[@jrob123]

My favorite type of jewelry are rings in 14k white gold. It really makes everything sparkle!

[@svetinski]

Hey Mel, great vid and I love your pieces! I adore rings at the moment, in all kinds of metals...I like to do my own nails and so I like to draw attention to my hands, lol! :)

[@nellamignone7769]

I love white gold as my preferred metal and I love bracelets...

[@michelle00793]

Love the blush colored Chanel jacket and the vintage yellow bag is super cute 😍 I'm also sentimental like you. I love remembering dates, years and having something connected to it. I still get butterflies when I use my fav perfume and it takes me back to when I met my soulmate. 😂 My favorite jewelry piece is definitely dainty necklace in yellow gold & ofc diamond.

[@charisseannsilva]

I love earrings because I can always wear it and match it with my outfits. I love diamond earings. That has white gold hardware.

[@mariaalekseeva5062]

Thank you Mel for your informative and inspirational videos ! They are very helpful as well, and I'm glad to be your big fan. Usually I'm wearing golden earrings but like white gold too.

[@cheechronicles]

I am a classic and basic girl. Love love love earrings with gold hardware! 🙏🙏🙏

[@lornahuang3611]

Hey Mel! I love how versatile your collection and content is. Sometimes I have trouble connecting to KZbinrs when everything is super high-end luxury things that are unattainable for the average person but you have such a good balance between that and some more affordable and accessible brands so I really appreciate it! Lately, I have been trying to build up my fine jewelry everyday stack and have been loving rings and bracelets in all types of metals so a mixed metal vibe ◡̈

[@anwlaw]

My favorite piece of jewelry would be earrings both gold and silver. Thank you for the giveaway!

[@catherinevirgo1630]

Happy Holidays Mel. Love your content and channel. I'm getting back into earrings after a long time of not wearing them. Loving classic gold and silver equally.

[@niceknow7493]

Thanks for ur tips - I love delicate pieces- I find them more versatile

[@rayan7505]

Always love hearing about your awesome vintage/pre-loved finds! I'm definitively a necklace and bracelet person (I never take mine off) and for a few years now I've been a hardcore silver/white gold person.

[@michellejacinto1110]

Thank you for sharing tips. Love wearing earrings and bracelets. I wear both gold and silver❤️

[@preetiiyer109]

This is amazing Mel…thank you so much for the detailed video…it’s such a good to know for someone who is just starting her luxury journey. I love gold rings, Love stacking them, just feels it gives that extra glam.😊

[@lisadebrauwer4655]

I really like the bucket bag. My favourite jewellery are earrings and I wear a lot of rose gold.

[@clairebear8758]

I’m so happy that you are sharing your experience with Chanel boutiques, I feel that Chanel can just get away with everything and I think they cannot! Thank you for the amazing give away btw, and to come back to your question: I am a ring person, currently I’m into gold rings. But I have been wearing white gold a lot before. 🌸

[@alginemarzanayento6414]

I love silver hardware eversince,i love earrings and it makes me happy when i am wearing it everytime...

[@skxkffl]

I am really disappointed with Chanel too. It was my first time buying from Chanel and I just bought a 23c mini flap 5 days ago. The hardware were tarnished and I didn’t know it as I thought that was the design. I brought it back into the boutique today and they said they can’t do a one to one exchange as it can’t be resold. The staff told me that once the bag left the boutique, it meant that the customer accept the condition of the bag. Argh, the customer service is really terrible and they could only change the hardware.

[@diz932]

Try using a jewelry cleaning cloth. I used my James Avery cloth on one of my Chanel bags and it removed the tarnish. The hardware now looks so shiny.

[@lolamariano308]

If possible please try to visit another Chanel store nearby for a second opinion I once both a LV bag wich had default I noticed after purchase. When I went back to the store where I bought it they gave me a similar responds as the chanel store gave you but when I went to another lv store in town, explaining what happened they were shocked and could not believe they let me walk out of the store without giving me a proper solution since i had the bag for 2 days. They inmediatelly gave a new one and made a report about what happened. I know Chanel is way more upscale than LV but maybe another store may be willing to help you more

[@blingingling]

They should offer to replace the hardware for you then under the warranty??

[@oliverbuckley3947]

Blimey, not good! I bought a classic flap for my mums 50th and had to get that exchanged because a thread on one of the front quilts popped. Shocking

[@je-suis_Tati]

@Nathalie, sorry for what happened to you. I jam just curious, why would you think that is normal in any bag let along a premier designer one? Not judging, but a word of advice, always before going to purchase a luxury handbag, do your research first and that will always help you 😊

[@huang369super]

I really like silver earrings because i have a cooler tone and silver compliment my skin so well :) thank you mel for amazing contents!
