Is there something of a princess in you? Do you want to shine on life’s big occasions? Gucci’s G-Timeless Quartz Women’s Watch YA126510 is just the item to spotlight the royalty in you; nothing says panache like diamonds. And this timepiece is all about diamonds ladies. With its mother of pearl dial, this highborn ornament  is elegance objectified. A stainless steel link band, quartz movement, and scratch resistant/anti-reflective sapphire crystal – all make for a stellar time teller.

Swiss made, this G-Timeless Collection Gucci hails from the highest caliber watch manufacturer. Its 38 mm diameter (1.5 in) round stainless steel case features twenty 1/8 carat t.w. diamonds. With screw in back and push in crown, this watch is classic in style and comfortably handled. The diamond bezel, and brushed and polished bracelet finish are its brilliance. Water resistant up to 30-50 meters (there are discrepancies among sellers on this point but, nonetheless, it can get a little wet!) and double-locking invisible clasp make it a durable piece.
