Not only is it fabulous on you, but it is so classic, simple, and stunning to look at, I don't think it will ever date. $76 for an investment piece, NICE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192210 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:10:57 +0000 RoseandJoan 192210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The necklace really does glow in the same way as Arwin's in Lord of the Rings, it's stunning. Please keep and wear with pride. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192187 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:00:09 +0000 bj1111 192187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>omg...bittar necklaces...how could i have missed that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192175 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:37:25 +0000 Cookie 192175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya - if you love the necklace and it makes you happy to wear it don't let anyone talk you out of it. I don't think you intended it to be an investment piece. It is pretty, you can afford it, and it puts a smile on your face. Enjoy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192161 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:52:14 +0000 Maya 192161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ele, I used to walk past his Upper East Side boutique on the way to the museum every day. If I had the money, I'd be doing some damage there. </p> <p>And that is a fabulous necklace. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192159 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:49:48 +0000 Ele 192159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd also not heard of Alex Bittar before now (I assume he's an American phenomenon who hasn't gone global yet?), but WOW. I just spent the last ten minutes checking out his site and I love his work! I want this one: <a href="http://www.alexisbittar.com/product.php?productid=21013&#038;cat=289&#038;page=1&#038;defvarid=13307" rel="nofollow">http://www.alexisbittar.com/pr.....arid=13307</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192154 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:41:47 +0000 Mac 192154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not my style but if you love it and think you'll wear it a lot, I'd say it's definitely worth the $76. I appreciate that it's made in the USA, too - nice to know that you're supporting local talent and helping give local-ish employment in these tough times. </p> <p>I'd never heard of Alexis Bittar so in case any of the rest of you are interested, here's his story: <a href="http://www.alexisbittar.com/pages.php?pageid=8" rel="nofollow">http://www.alexisbittar.com/pages.php?pageid=8</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192153 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:36:48 +0000 Isabel 192153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with your premise Maya...but that is not how I interpret it all. I look at it as, if I had the money for full price, I would buy it. Sometimes a sale is the only way to make something affordable, but it shouldn't affect your opinion of it. So I don't look at it from a budget perspective at all. I look at it from an attraction perspective in spite of price.</p> <p>I have been very guilty in the past of saying, " Oh, it is a Coach....it is a good price for a Coach, I might as well get it..." and it sits in my closet because I would have never considered or been attracted to it, except for price.</p> <p>I hope that makes more sense. I should have been clearer ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192150 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:25:43 +0000 Maya 192150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have heard that advice before Isabel, and in all honesty, I don't understand it. I think it was originally aimed at people who sweat money and feel overwhelmed by the possibilities, because it makes absolutely no sense for anyone else.</p> <p>There are lots of things in the universe that I don't buy because they are out of my budget, and it doesn't matter how much I love them, because I simply can't afford them. It's that simple. If loving something was all it took to make something work within my budget, I'd have a billion dollar wardrobe. However, if one of those things happens to be generously reduced in price, to a point where it does fall within my budget, why shouldn't I consider it? That makes no sense to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192148 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:24:55 +0000 Isabel 192148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I forgot to add, that I currently have so many pieces that I like, that I simply cannot narrow it down and I am not in a position to get more than one ( I also already have TONS of jewerly ). </p> <p>I strongly believe that some of his pieces, someday, are going to be worth a lot of money - sort of like Bakelite - but I don't think that necklace will be one of them.....because, like Medusa said, it is a very "trendy" shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192145 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:12:56 +0000 bj1111 192145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cookie, fyi, alexis is a boy.</p> <p>my current fav: turquoise bubble ring. (more sales on his site)</p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/2vj7bfl" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/2vj7bfl</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192143 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:12:36 +0000 Isabel 192143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Maya,</p> <p>I have to preface this by saying that I LOVE Alexis Bittar and have several of his pieces, from when he first started his business, so the pieces I have are not as expensive as what he offers now. He won all kinds of awards and landed in Vogue a couple of times and ( just like David Yurman ) his prices followed his meteoric rise. A friend of mine from high school met him years ago at a jewelry trade show and she carried his pieces in her little boutique, she was his 2nd or 3rd customer, so I got some very early pieces. He is still very good to her....he seems like a good guy. Not only did he once fix a piece for me two years after I bought it, he has offered, through her, to duplicate old styles for us. ( He has never forgotten the people who helped him get started - her boutique was small, so she didn't sell tons, but he has been unbelievably kind and loyal to her......)</p> <p>I agree with the ladies who say, keep it only if you love it. I happen to love it......I once read that you should never cheapen yourself and buy something that you would never consider at full price.</p> <p>( I am also not a SATC fan. I don't hate it, but I just don't get it or the clothes. Carrie is hardly a role model...she spends so much on shoes that she could have bought an apartment and then she finds, of course, a super wealthy guy to marry...) )</p> <p>For me to buy something now from Bittar, it would have to be out of this world because of the price....... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192135 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:04:07 +0000 Cookie 192135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alexis Bittar jewelry is beautiful and distinctive. He won a CFDA award in June and now his pieces are even more sought after. The prices will only go up. Keep this necklace (it looks wonderful on you!) and cherish it forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192056 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 07:41:36 +0000 Ele 192056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I love this necklace on you! You're so right about the glow it has- very pretty. I don't think $76 is *that* much to spend on a necklace, especially for a statement piece like this. It might not be huge, but I find it very bold and impactful. </p> <p>Oh, and I'm an unapologetic SATC fan and I had completely forgotten that Carrie ever wore horseshoes, so I doubt it would occur to many others! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192039 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 05:03:14 +0000 Nonie 192039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>its very pretty...but im not sure i would spend that much on a necklace...im goin to get bored of it pretty soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192036 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:24:39 +0000 marianne 192036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep! I could see you wear it a lot, and I think it's a better investment than clothes.<br /> Had no idea about SATC, but I am not a TV fan either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192016 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:54:03 +0000 Maya 192016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loathe SATC (I know, I am unworthy of my two X chromosomes). However, that just means I refuse to let such a cheap and lame show ruin my necklace for me.</p> <p>(Sorry SATC fans...I'm blistering when it comes to the telly). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-192010 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:47:27 +0000 medusa 192010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's very pretty! Here's the caveat I would have, but maybe it doesn't matter to you: horseshoe necklaces were a Carrie Bradshaw theme on Sex &amp; the City. That kind of ruined horseshoes for me. If that isn't a problem for you, then keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-191991 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:29:22 +0000 Jenava 191991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it sets off your skin tone really well.

This necklace looks great on you. If you love it, feel great wearing it, and know that you'll wear it a lot, then it's definitely worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-191897 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:12:59 +0000 bj1111 191897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>maya,</p> <p>i totally understand wanting to be part of the nas-travaganza. but don't feel compelled to purchase something you don't love just because others have been successful at nas. for very good reasons that you previously outlined perhaps nordies is not the store for you at this point in your life. </p> <p>that said, i looooove alexis bittar. the brushed metal texture on the horseshoe is fresh and young (like you) and the horseshoe is fun (like you). plus it's a good scale against your chest. it has goldilocks qualities (not too big, not too small, juuuuust right). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-191896 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:12:46 +0000 Boof 191896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it *is* bold. It's a clean, simple statement, but it's not a dainty piece. It's beautiful on you. I think if the quality is good and you love it, it's worth the money. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alexis-bittar-necklace#post-191891 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:09:52 +0000 Maya 191891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love it. It's my favorite color and it just glows. I think it's a keep </p>
