LOL

I'm taking the Flowerlace ring off my list. I got to try it on yesterday and it felt SO underwhelming (and light) compared to my Noeud and Lotus. Husband was very happy to hear that I no longer wanted it :lol:

Wow.. I have the opposite feeling because to me that's one of the main reason making it so wearable 😂

Although I own the newer Lotus 4 flowers (called it Small Lotus) BTFR, Original Lotus (called it Big Lotus) BTFR is also something I still want to get - call me mad woman😂😂😂.

I've got a chance to try on a Noeud Ring before but sadly I didn't fall in love with it. For the bow series, I much prefer Graff's Tilda Bow. It made my decision to give it a pass much easier given currently there are no matching earrings, bracelet/bangle or pendant for Noeud ring as well (and only Snowflake Noeud I think).

I don't dare to list my upcoming wishlist 😂 😂 😂 (and I am too scared to jinx it) -- so I may give some updates once I successfully acquire my targeted piece(s) instead.

Interesting to know. I also tried it on and it didn’t feel the same love and vibe I felt with the Noeud ring. I think first earrings and then maybe necklace ? But had the chance to try only the ring so still have to try them if I have a chance to get them at the boutique…

I love both rings. I feel like the Noeud is dressier and the flower lace is less serious and more fun. Both are beautiful and stunning and so VCA.

I think for me, it just doesn't feel as substantial as the Noeud or the OG Lotus. I personally like heavy rings. It makes me feel like there's substance on my finger when I wear it and I have no problem wearing my Noeud as an every day ring (and I do wear it as so). Honestly, I had high expectations for Flowerlace since it's considered HJ but I think just owning the earrings would be enough. I don't really care about completing a set so maybe I'll just replace the Flowerlace ring with the WG BTF pave Frivole. I own it in YG and love it to pieces.

Yup, I think owning the earrings would be enough for me since I definitely do not need to be matchy-matchy and do not wear pendants (at least not as frequently to justify the purchase of a Flowerlace pendant). For me personally, I like a weighted ring and Flowerlace was just too light. I just kept thinking...for this price, why is not as substantial as my Noeud or OG Lotus?

Agreed with you that it doesn’t feel as substantial/heavy as compared to Big Lotus or Noeud, I personally feel FL ring is not a BTFR category as compared to the latter two.

I did have the same doubts 2 years ago, and I decided to go with the other VCA BTFRs first 😂 and now I am back at it again.

It’s purely personal preference, for me - matching FL pieces look best (maybe i got brainwashed by so many VCA advertisements 😂) so I will still aim to complete my set as a priority before moving on to the others. I don’t want to make the same mistake as my Pink Sapphire Frivole 😖 anymore.

@BabyBenV @ThisVNchick thank you for sharing your experience with the Noeud and FL ring. Great information. I am thinking to add the Noeud ring to my wishlist, for me, the Noeud is definitely more appealing, but I am hesitating to put down a full deposit to without trying it on first.

Try to ask your SA to make it come to the boutique. I could try one before buying it. Not the right size but you still get the idea of it will be a loved piece or not 😘

Love your TQ Butterfly and can't wait for the matching earrings!

Thank you. I was so disappointed when they only had the lapiz which is also very beautiful but I really want to have the turquoise to match the necklace. My SA said they only see one pair of the turquoise earrings every 3-4 months so I am hoping it comes in early next year.

I cross fingers for you. I never saw myself TQ earrings. Only lapis and pink sapphire and WMOP. I heard you can order only one single earring if you wish to complete your earrings with another color. For example you could order only one lapis butterfly earring : you have to get VCA headquarter (or manager?) approval for turquoise, lapis (but if I remember correctly other stone are orderable without approval)

I would like to ultimately get 2 pairs to wear it 3 ways but being realistic about my purchases for 2025 and other things on my list which is growing by the minute with my lack of self control I will be happy with one pair if I can acquire and look for the second pair in the future.
