I just watched the Sunday night episode of Sex In The City and I''m wondering if the necklace that Alex gave Carrie was diamonds or some other stones? Curious has to how they were "strung" on the chain. Did anyone see it and do you have any insights into the details on that necklace?

This is all it said on the HBO site:

Aleks' diamond necklace to Carrie was provided by Fred Leighton Rare Collectable Jewels. They are located on Madison Avenue in New York.
 
When I saw that and she asked 'those aren't diamonds' and Aleks didn't confirm it was diamonds but rather just said 'well let's just say, i wouldn't be throwing it around in your purse'...I concluded they weren't diamonds. I think they looked more like white sapphires to me. If they were diamonds, what a waste! They weren't cut to round brilliant shape and had all the internal sparkle of a crystal. Not impressive IMO.

They looked like they were 'strung' on a chain of some sort. Kind of like beads..so a hole in the middle of each (another waste!).
 
I missed Sunday's episdoe b/c we were out to dinner and I missed last night's repeat...does anyone else know when this repeats? the HBO site has a synopsis but no pictures of the necklace. Now I HAVE to see this necklace after reading Mara's post!

I agree Mara. I was hoping they weren't diamonds and I also agree that the dialog sort of confirmed that in a backhanded way. He should have gone for something better. That does it, now I'm waiting to see what Mr. Big has in store. Tee Hee.
 
Mr. Big is my fave even though he does have some mad issues!! If I were Carrie I don't know how trusting I'd be about his 'feelings'...remember last time?! That was the last straw for me! Talk about a circle-jerk.




Anyway, some repeats were Monday & Tuesday (we tivo'd it again on Monday because the last few minutes on Sunday got cut off!!)....there are probably a few more this week...if you have digi cable or something, look at their 'guide' to find out more.




I am looking fwd to Sunday though my hopes aren't that up since in the US Weekly they said the three endings that were shot (not even the actors know which will be used) were a) Carrie walking away b) Big walking away c) Both walking away looking happy (I can't remember if they walk away separately). Now what does THAT mean!




Couple that with the fact that the guy who does the series said at the beginning of last season that the ending would not be with a . or ! but rather with a , ....I am really confused now. I knew that they were going to Paris back then...so I was hoping that meant that she would stay in Paris and start a NEW life for herself even with or without the ballerina dude...but maybe not!

Hey all, I don't think that necklace had diamonds, because it certainly didn't sparkle like a diamond should! In fact, I didn't really like the necklace much at all, kind of dull looking to me. As far as repeats, I'm pretty sure it re-airs every night of the week up until the next new episode, around 10ish usually. I know the times are posted on HBOs website, as I have checked them many a time.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were diamonds. I remember seeing a spread in an issue of Vogue from a few years back that touted diamond rough being used for jewelry.

You know, giving it that industrial or ethnic look, but with the expense of diamonds!
 
I am hoping that she walks away from both Aleks & Big. Big has strung her along toooo long, and I just don't think she has anything in common with Aleks, not to mention no chemistry (IMO). I just wish that Aiden wasn't married now with a kid, he was my favorite guy of all her guys. So sweet...but probably too sweet for her. I think she belongs in NYC, doing her column and like Big said in the episode the other night, she's in love with her friends and any guy is lucky to come in second. I love the relationship she has with the girls.

You know the dress I really liked was the dress she was wearing when she headed out to have that last dinner with the girls & Big was waiting for her outside her apt. That was so pretty. I wish I dressed like that for a night out with the girls! Getting me out of Jeans is a banner day.

Makes you wonder if Big will show up with a "Carrie" necklace, since Miranda knows that she is so bummed she lost hers....
 
The thing is that I adore Big..he is soooooo cute. And I love their chemistry together. But yes...the SIX YEARS of being strung along and being played with would piss me off too. I was happy that she was so harsh with him this last episode..ding ding? You screwed her time and time again, why should she trust you this time around? But I did think that she should have at least returned his calls at some point earlier and had the guts to tell him that she has moved on and is leaving town. After all they HAVE shared, she did owe him that. Plus then he wouldn't have showed up on her steps and had to have that whole awkward situation.




In the end part of me would be jazzed that she went with Big but I don't trust him and that 'forever' thing. He's never been into that. What changed really? Plus would she move to Napa? I don't see that happening..she can't handle Paris!
2.gif
I would be disappointed if she came back to NYC and fell back into her same old life..I liked this last episode when she had a revelation that she has this same old life and she needed a change. I would love for her to walk away and effectuate a REAL change such as moving somewhere for herself, on her own...but then again as was noted in this last episode, she'd miss the girls too much, I don't think she could be happy on her own without her safety nets.




I have to say also that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Evan Handler...Charlotte's husband. He is soooooo cute and I adore them as a couple. So happy that the romantic in Charlotte finally found her amazing prince and he treats her like a queen and not just a princess.

Anyone who watch Sex and the City live in the city? Do you think it's true to life? (not a fan myself, just curious about perceptions)
 
Oh I LOVE Harry (Charlotte's husband). He's so adorable. Such a difference from stuffy Trey (who was still attached to his momma's apron strings). Yeah...I do think that Carrie has major chemistry with Big, but after all this time it's just too late.

Nicrez, Have you ever watched this tv show on Oxygen channel called "single in the city". It's basically a reality show following the lives of different women on their search for men/relationships in various big cities. Some of those women seem to live a life fairly similar to the lives on Sex & the City. They aren't lives that I can relate to, because I have been in a committed relationship since I was 22 (with my Fiancee), and to be honest I don't talk much about sex with my friends. But it's fun to watch!
naughty.gif
 
Not a TV fan, but I have heard of that show. What's the difference with that and Sex and the City? The only thing that scared me was that my girlfriend from Atlanta kept saying how close Sex and the City must be to life in NYC, and she asked me (when I WAS single) if my life was like that. I lived in a very nice apartment in midtown Manhattan, I made good money, but there is NO WHERE NEAR as much ridiculous stuff happening as in a show that relies on ratings... Just curious if other people thought the show was more fact than fiction.

I am sure people can say they know someone who can totally relate, but let's be honest, it's a blunt soap opera, and who's life is like a soap opera (besides me back in college) anyways?
naughty.gif
 
Carrie's actually annoys me more and more. She's supposed to be 38 and yet she acts like she's friggin' 15 or so! I don't want her to end up with anyone, because she's hardly mature enough to handle any relationship.

I really like Charlotte's husband as well, though.
 
Hest LOL!!!! That was such an excellent statement! I don't watch regularly, but I have seen quite a few episodes (forced by my friends when I am over), and I have to say that a single 38 year old woman in New York City acting like Carrie may just be the only realistic thing I can claim I have seen! I have some girlfriends who are younger and are totally sane, but some who are older, and let me tell you Carrie just doesn't do justice!




I guess it's the lure of the city and the variety. If you don't know what you want in life, you absoultely never will in NYC, you'll just have more choices and confusion, and most likely get hurt A LOT MORE...I love people who move here "to find themselves"...it's almost a prophetic sign they will lose themselves further!
nono.gif
 
It's funny you say that Hest because I had always thought Carrie was pretty cool, she seemed to 'have it all' in the first few years of the show in terms of being smart, successful, she obviously made good money because she shopped so much and still afforded her place, etc. Then it seemed like in the span of 2 years I slowly lost a bit of respect each show for Carrie. Cheating on Aidan with Big (even though at that point Aidan was grosso looking...not like the year after!) was ridiculous. But the one episode where I really had a reality check in terms of Carrie was when she and Aidan broke up the second time because she was pulling some childish mental flipout (after ALL of that to get back together!), and then the resulting next episode where she didn't have any money because she spent it all on shoes and clothes! That really opened my eyes. I was like..here is this thirty-something woman with nothing to show for her life and success but $40k in Manolos. That is pretty sad. And the fact that she didn't even seem to be THAT upset about it. Charlotte came through with the money but it was at that point that I completely realized that Carrie was just playing at being grownup. After that episode, the show was definitely not the same for me again. Carrie to me suddenly just became kind of needy, boring, sappy and a total and complete pushover in terms of wanting to be the peacemaker etc. I still like watching her character, but she irritates me alot of the time with her wishy-washy attitude, complete lack of responsibilities...carefree attitude. Every time I see her shopping now, I remember that episode where she had to use a friend's money to buy her house. I think...shouldn't you be paying Charlotte back?! Though I guess I forget that she did have that big Vogue contract and her book made her alot of money.




That said...my best friend just went to NYC this last weekend to visit a friend and she totally had the Sex in the City weekend!! Music release parties, hooking up with a 25 year old guy that she lovingly called 'Ashton' (she's Demi!) and just had a BLAST. So when you ask, Nic, if I think that SATC is realistic at all, from the escapades I just heard from my gal pal today...I think it CAN BE...depending on what your life is like. Obviously if I moved to NYC...I'd not be a Carrie but rather more a Miranda or Charlotte; but my friend would be the life-of-the-party Carrie (but with no tacky bra straps showing!).
2.gif
 
Yep, Mara, that's exactly how I feel. One *can* have a Carrie lifestyle, but you've got to be a Paris Hilton-like heiress to really pull it off!

I loved the first few episodes of this season; some left me with that "oh, sigh!" feeling that I haven't gotten from SATC in a long time. But the last few episodes are really wearing on my patience in so many ways. We'd have to go through a blow-by-blow of each episode's events for me to really capture it all.

But can I say--if it were my first time in Paris, staying at a fine hotel, I sure wouldn't be bored and blue after the first week!

I felt the same way about the first few episodes of this last time....really great music and just the FEEL was sooo good and almost poignant since we know its almost the end. I hope the end lives up to expectations!



And YES I totally agree on the Paris thing. It's Paris!!
1.gif

 
I agree. She's in PARIS for cripes sakes! I have to say, I think I could survive a tad longer without getting whiny about missing my friends. Sheesh.

I tell you though...Samantha's boytoy Smith - hummina hummina hummina! what a doll!

And when he shaved his head for Samantha I had a sappy smile on my face all night.
 
Mara,




That was a weekend, not a lifetime. Weekends in NY can be as crazy as you want, but you come home again. Living in NYC, you pay $4 for OJ, you spend $20 on lunch (soup, salad and water), you oever spend your time and energy on stupid things like trying to get a cab, chasing down a pair of shoes that you wanted that fly off the shelf, and dating in NYC, is NOT like it is on SATC...




Back when I lived in my carzy days, I had friends in every "hot spot". I went to Centro Fly on Opening night (I knew the chef and bouncer), drinks at Hudson Bar, hors d' ouvres at a movie release at China Club or Spa, benefit ball at Tavern on the Green, a masked ball at The Russian Tea Room, Afterwork dancing at Copa. I had young gorgeous friends who know more young gorgeous people.




My friends "Julia" and "Monique" became my idols at getting us a VIP table at Bubble Lounge with complimentary Cristal. Julia was a Samantha of sorts, and could get us living the life partying in a stretch limo and drinks, food and entrances to high places (all for free). She's currently single and looks like she 2 times older than she is.




My friend Monique has become the play thing of everyone she met, doctors, lawyers, movie stars...she's currently still single, owns nothing and renting a tiny studio on Central Park West. Neither one is happy, and if you give them the chance to leave all the excitement for a quiet life in the burbs, they would snatch it up. Why? they are restless and tired of being used, passed up and past their primes and STILL trying to get excited by the things that bored them now.




I got bored two years into it. Luckily, I found my guy and although we are not burbs, we live in a great state of city-life and normal life. It gets old real quick and when you see how shallow and depressing some of it all is, you crave for some substance and some REAL interaction with people who actually care more about a person than their hand bag price...It's a one-upmanship that is disgusting and exhausting. I love NY's culture and rhythm, but not the superficiality of what can be up there at "the top".




To me it's more like the bottom. I'd rather rattle my jewels in my big house in the country (CT) than shake my baubles in a tiny apt in the Upper West or Upper East. Didn't mean to go on, but it's just not the same living with it. You do get bored of it, and it gets OLD quick.
 
And you know what else irritates me about Carrie? For someone marketed as the epitome of a cosmopolitan gal, she sure is naive and provincial, isn't she?

Nicrez, that sounds like fascinating time you had. I did a smaller version of that the year before my DH and I started dating. It's just really exhausting to keep up with that much merriment when one is no longer in college. Plus, I'm a natural introvert, so I was really starting to tire of that lifestyle by the end of that year and probably would have stopped most of it even if my DH and I hadn't hooked up.
 
That's kind of the point that I think SATC is trying to make right now Nic...that life DOES get old. We all partied hard when we were younger...but these girls are in their mid-late thirties (except Sam)....and are all starting to move on finally! Jeez there is no way I could pull that lifestyle now even if I was single again, too damn tired all the time!

As for $4 OJ and $20 lunch...ha ha that's SF bayarea too, baby! I felt right at home in NYC in terms of spending money and costs of things...heehee. I think that scared Greg.

No offense, I am just cranky they actually brough Manolo's into such a limelight. I love unique designers and have VERY picky taste...

He was an obscure to the world, but big in the fashion world kind of designer, and I like things unique and sexy, but with everyone and their sister gushing about his shoes and buying them, I feel a bit jipped, frankly.

I had my eye on his stuff for YEARS, because he was known, along with Zanotti, to be an excellent runway heels supplier...I love super high shoes, and now everyone else owns them! Like Coach, LV and Burberry, I can no longer buy them, because EVERYONE already does... Can they leave no good designer SACRED and HIDDEN?!
cry.gif


Ok, my rant is over, and to be honest, I get so tired in a day, I can barely make myself dinner, much less pull those 4am crawls home...Dear god! Funny thing is, when you're single, you're a club and bar person, even if it's not your cup of tea...there's no real choice...My guy and I were, now we are excited to come back from the gym and maybe head out for a bite to eat. That tires us out!
 
I just saw the episode...My best guess is briolette cut diamonds strung on a thin wire.

??????????????????
confused.gif
 
O.K., I admit it. Romantic at heart. I'd like to see Carrie and Big...living in the city...time away spent in Napa.

This is the only tv show I watch. I am so bummed that it's ending.
1.gif
 
Hmmm...I'm almost embarassed to admit I've seen the show exactly twice, both times this year, in the past couple of months. I had to watch at least one episode with Misha...I adore him.

Did she go to Paris w/him?

I don't know what this necklace looks like, but I have a bag of diamond crystals I was planning on wrapping in WG wire...something different, you know?

Just saw a little blurb on the Today show, they had the original "Carrie" necklace (the one she lost in the show), as well as the necklace she just recieved. The guy said it was originally crystal, and SJP said she wanted something with a little ump, so it is in fact now diamonds.
 
Oomph is diamonds that don't sparkle and look like crystals? What a waste!!
rolleyes.gif
Wonder if it will go on eBay too?

I don't have anything against MB but hello, he is sooo not for Carrie. He's girl-sized. When my best friend heard that he was going to be the potential last love interest of Carrie, she was appalled. I was too. I thought, oh PLEASE NO...don't let the show end after all these great years and have Carrie be with an effeminate short man!!!
