  • 10 Facts About The Cartier Love Bracelet

    10 Facts About The Cartier Love Bracelet

    [thb_image image=”1779″]

    Cartier’s Love bracelet is one of the most iconic pieces of jewellery ever designed! Here are 10 little-known facts about this bracelet:

    1. The Cartier Love bracelet was designed in 1969 by Aldo Cipullo, who was inspired by chastity belts worn by women in Medieval times.
    2. The bracelet is designed in the shape of an oval to fit as closely as possible to a loved one’s wrist, and meant to be worn by both men and women.
    3. In the beginning, Cartier had a strict policy that no customer could purchase this bracelet for themselves – it had to be a purchased for a loved one.
    4. The unique  screws that decorate the bracelet were inspired by the screws that are featured on the bezel of Cartier’s Santos watch.
    5. The iconic bracelet has two halves that come apart only with the use of its own mini screwdriver (and the help of a second person) which is perhaps characteristic to its name and usually means the wearer doesn’t take it off much.
    6. New York City hospitals stock Love screw drivers so they can remove the bracelet from patients’ wrists during an emergency.
    7. The earliest Love bracelets were made in gold plating but this classic piece of jewellery is today made in solid gold (yellow, pink or white), with or without diamonds.
    8.  Celebrity couples that have famously worn the Cartier Love bracelet include Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw, Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti, as well as Frank and Nancy Sinatra. More recently, it’s been seen on the wrists of Sarah Jessica Parker, Kylie Jenner and Pippa Middleton.
    9. Last year, the Love bracelet was the top-most searched jewellery item on Google.
    10. Due to plenty of counterfeit versions of the popular bracelet, newer models come with unique serial numbers engraved on each piece.

  • Beginners Guide to Buying a Luxury Watch

    Beginners Guide to Buying a Luxury Watch

    [thb_image full_width=”true” alignment=”center” image=”1717″]

    ​Whether ​you are buying your first luxury watch or looking to add to your growing collection​, picking the right one​ is crucial because it becomes a part of you. The timepiece you pick reflects your inner style and character. Here’s a guide to choosing a watch that best suits you:

    Style

    One of the first things ​to consider before buying a luxury watch is what style watch you want to purchase! Pick a design​, brand and size​ that fits into your wardrobe and lifestyle. Do not fall prey to the latest trends and fads that do not go with you personality. Be true to your style.

    Type Of Movement

    The movement is the engine or the calibre of a watch. There are various movements that are created, however each of these movements fits into one of the 2 categories – Quartz – battery powered or Mechanical-uses an intricate system of crafted pieces that turn the hands of your clock at a perfectly tuned pace​.​

    Brand / Designer

    When choosing a luxury brand or designer of the timepiece, there are two things to consider- the resale value of the brand today and if the brand is likely to increase in value over time, therefore making your resale value higher. I​n addition to these the iconic styles, the heritage and the different things that inspire the brand that you relate to.

    New or Pre-owned

    Every brand​ is constantly working to improve every timepiece, ​the style, the performance of the movement and the materials​.​ If you were to hold a model manufactured today vs. what was made even just a few years ago, you’ll feel a tremendous difference. If you are on a budget and you aren’t in a position to buy a new watch, a previously owned piece is a great option and often a great value. Just make sure you get a warranty to ensure it it is a genuine​.​

    Maintenance

    Your watch will often need maintenance every now and then. This watch should last you a lifetime if well maintained​. M​ake sure you ask about the cost of these services. Some watches could be expensive, so it is good to know these things before you purchase your watch.

    The Breitling Navitimer

    [thb_image full_width=”true” alignment=”center” image=”1694″]

    The Navitimer is one of Breitling’s most famous chronograph watches. The brand’s first wrist chronograph was introduced in 1915, close to four decades earlier than the Navitimer.

    Introduced in 1952, the Navitimer is a chronograph considered among the most definitive pilot’s watches of all time and was selected as the official watch of the APOA in 1954. The circular slide rule feature allows pilots to make all types of calculations pertaining to airborne navigation including speed, distance, fuel consumption, rate of climb and descent, and conversion of metric distance.

    There have been 10 models including vintage models (Navitimer Heritage, Navitimer Cosmonaute, Navitimer 1884), mechanically advanced pieces like the Navitimer 01 with Breitling’s in-house chronograph movement, the Navitimer GMT, Navitimer 1461 with annual calendar, Navitimer QP with perpetual calendar, Navitimer World with second time zone, Navitimer Aurora Blue (above) and Navitimer AOPA.

    The Breitling Navitimer is popular among the celebrities and have been spotted on the comedian Dave Chapelle, TV host Simon Cowell, musician Miles Davis, actors Tommy Lee Jones and John Lovitz, David Bekham. John Travolta could perhaps be the biggest and best spokesmen for Breitling watches since he himself is an avid pilot.

  • 5 Tips For Selling Your Designer Bags

    5 Tips For Selling Your Designer Bags

    [thb_image alignment=”center” image=”1673″]

    1. Invest in the right bag

    The safest pieces to invest in are the classic styles and shapes that are already proven, they stand the test of time and will always be in demand, focus on brands like: Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton and Dior.

    2. Take Care Of Your Bag

    Put away the receipt somewhere safe, store your bag in the dust bag and box it came in to maintain the shape and colour of the bag, the original packaging will also make it more appealing to a buyer. Protect it from direct sunlight, water ​and stains. Keep a plastic bag filled with baking soda inside your handbag to avoid odour.

    3. Take Good Photos

    The sale of a pre-owned bag is solely based on the photos used to present it. ​Take pictures of your bag against a white background
    in natural daylight.​ Use multiple pictures from different angles ​- ​front, back, side, a photo of the interior and key detai​ls​ including the labels​ to prove its authenticity, don’t leave out stains and damages.

    ​4. The Right Price​

    Get a quote from Luxepolis.com to check what similar brands and sizes with the same condition are going for. If your handbag is in great condition, take the original price and mark it down between 5-15% per year. If the handbag has scuff marks and obvious wears and tears that are hard to fix or repair, mark the price down to around 30-50%.

    5. Sell At The Right Time

    To give your bag the best chance of selling, always take season into consideration. Generally white or light coloured bags sell better in spring, and darker or neutral coloured bags in winter.
