The Most BASIC Luxury Items Money Can Buy (Worth the hype)

[@robynnel6048]

Totally agree with you on the jewelry front. It's even worth it to investigate a proper jeweler; my engagement ring was designed from scratch by my husband with a jeweler. It's exactly what we wanted, one of a kind, and turned out cheaper than a ready made one from a high class jewelry store.

[@SophieShohetOfficial]

Hello lovely! Oh I do agree, you’re so right - going to a non-branded jeweller can get you fantastic materials and stones at a great price. Your engagement ring sounds beautiful, what a lovely thing your husband did in designing that 💗🥰 Hugs xx

[@tjb1291]

I had the same experience as you. In fact the ring was so much less than we expected custom designed by the independent jeweller, I was allowed to get a second ring with what my now husband budgeted in the first place 😅 They would have cost double in a store ready made.

[@johannasuarez908]

Social media clouds our judgement. Things appear overdone on social but how often do we see them in the real world? Do you and wear what you like and can afford.

Sophie, if I may-for a fabulous basic belt-or summer sandals ( custom fit) I recommend Rondini . The company is exclusive to St. Tropez and is fantastic! I treat myself to a pair of sandals every summer! Lol. I’m pondering which ones to get this summer and am also treating myself to one of their belts. Very understated !

A lab grown diamond is a real diamond. They both are made out of carbon, same chemistry. De Beers made it seem that diamonds are expensive and rare. It is all marketing.

[@basiccaucasian6234]

Thank you. It’s not “real” vs “lab-grown”. It’s “mined” vs “lab-grown”. I like my “real” diamonds to be a fair price and free of cruelty and exploitation, which a lab can provide.

[@sleepysartorialist]

Diamonds are actually incredibly common on a universe-wide scale we just haven't figured out how to get to all of them yet. So yeah, lab grown are lovely. My wife and I are opting for other stones for ourselves tho. We did basic rings for or paperwork ceremony and a friend who is an apprentice jeweler is working with a lab to get uniquely shaped stones for his collection. Having a pink sapphire heart for her and a teardrop for me. Not sure what color yet. Lab grown is so much fun!

@@kellydouglas7232 , lab grown diamonds. Diamonds that are excavated from earth involves human labor in particular children. It is a dirty business that benefits big names jewelry houses. These houses claim that diamonds are rare and put so much emphasis on value from mined diamonds. It is all lies. Diamonds are abundant in earth and should be cheap. Lab grown diamonds are made in the same process as mined diamonds, the process does not involve destroying the earth and exploiting humans.

the other thing you can do with a few nondescript string of pearls real or fake, is to layer them with slightly different lengths and style/size. So I have freshwater pearls with ordinary pearls and have 4 strings altogether. It looks great!

I agree on most, but you can buy a new Cartier Tank watch for less than € 5.000 and the service is about €300. So not that expensive. I'd say that Chanel jewelry is a total waste of money, it's costume jewelry for a ridiculous inflated price.

Etsy is my favorite for real metal and gemstone jewelry. I prefer silver, and the amount of genuine artisans who create one of a kind pieces is amazing. Be smart and make sure you find someone who communicates well, and you’ll get something that no other soul alive has, that will last you long enough to be an heirloom!! I adore portrait cut diamonds, because they look like a shard of glass but won’t break, and they’re actually easier to find preloved!! Costume jewelry will never be something I go for because I become VERY attached to my pieces, and have cried over items breaking 🤧🤣

[@s.a.4358]

Same! I buy almost all my jewellery on Etsy and most of it had been fantastic (a few bad experience with quality or I didn’t read the description as well as I should have). I also prefer silver and have some sellers I have bought repeatedly from. I also like the idea of supporting small business and having unique things.

Coach has some of the best leather goods on the market, and Dooney & Bourke is just as amazing. There are several contemporary brands that are better quality than many of the top fashion houses these days.

[@sleepysartorialist]

I actually favor Vivienne Westwood. That's what I want for my first biggie. I also know my wife loves Vivienne Westwood so we can share our stuff. We wear different sized pants and shoes but we can share shirts and dresses lol. It's kind of fun because I don't have to decide myself and I consider Westwood a legacy brand. It has prestige, class and heritage imo. I really like Quay for lower cost but high style sunnies. They're what I usually find out some random celebrity had on when I look up an outfit with a piece I really like. I will say, as a supplement to the Hermes belt thing: Apple makes an Hermes edition watch so one could match their smartwatch to their belt which could be quite nice imo.

[@pamcrowther5409]

Hey Lovely Sophie! Love watching your videos. I have looked at Idyl recently since I have seen them on several Influencers feeds. It looks like the biggest size is .20 or .40 for a pair. Canadian $1190. For comparison, I went to my jeweller and for lab grown diamonds, VS, F colour .75 for a pair, the price was $1210. So it might be worthwhile checking out a local jeweller for a pair of studs for a bigger size. As for the modular part, you could do an add on to your studs purchased elsewhere, most likely. I thought of ordering an add on to see if they fit. Just a thought if your viewers wanted to shop around for best bang for their buck since diamond studs are so classic.

[@frenzy8539]

It’s definitely possible to wear the idyl add ons with other studs. I do it all the time because I actually find my other studs go way better with the aesthetic of the add on than the idyl studs. However, I must say I really like my idyl jewelry and I’m not a sponsored influencer 😊

[@deborahcurtis1385]

the quality might not be the same or as good as the Idyl. Cubic zirconia used to be the big thing back in the day and you could detect them at 25 paces. They just don't sparkle the same. Of course the cut of the diamond is extremely important to the sparkle as well. I've seen lab made diamonds in the shops and they haven't grabbed me.

If Chanel could design the top handle to be removable on the Trendy CC Flap, I would buy it for sure

I think the point of Chanel's Trendy CC flap is to be held on the side, in one's hand, like a satchel -- the crossbody chain is more as an option, in my opinion. Without the handle part, it just looks like a larger wallet on a chain, which you can wear those cross body, if that's your style. Just a recommendation if that's whag you're asking

After the perception of coach in the 2000s, I was very resistant to getting one. With your very on point review, I decided to give it another try and I have been so happy with my coach bag!! I also really like that it’s a bag that was so comfortably in my price range that I can wear it without fear. I’ve enjoyed it so much, and I agree that the quality and craftsmanship are excellent! I am totally considering getting another one. I also have to share that I picked up a pair of French Sole sandals that look so similar to the Hermes ones, a perfect “dupe”. I also don’t like mixing logos. My personal luxury wishlist/ recent purchases include (and I’m just getting into luxury): Metier London Roma bag, Sophie Bille Brahe earrings (love the grande Venus), Cartier tank watch, Hermes scarf, Chloe Joe belt, blaze milano jacket, nude aquazzura 85 mm sling backs, diamond necklace (like the styles with graduated diamonds that get smaller from center); would love to hear your thoughts on this list!!

For anyone wanting to buy a decent watch, they should really do their homework (the majority of watches need the battery changing regularly whereas the likes of Rolex and Hublot are self-winding). With regards to Rolex, my husband bought a brand new Submariner 20 years ago brand new for under £2,000 at that time. Currently he has been offered over 6 times that price for it. Servicing by Rolex is currently £650 plus vat, not £1,800. I looked at buying an Omega 21 years ago but the Rolex was the same price - the Rolex is now worth considerably more than I payed while the Omega would be worth peanuts! However, it is worth noting that brand new Rolex watches are becoming more and more difficult to source.

I’ve got a Rolex and just had serviced at northern goldsmiths … 580£ and not needed for another 10 years

Hermes belt.... shouldnt you buy the Celine belt instead which is less chunky, more elegant?

I love buying fine antique & vintage jewelry. But when I don't I get my fine jewelry from Gemporia.
