My kind SA has allowed me to make a return after the allowed date, but I can only do an exchange and it must be before the new year. I'm torn among several options. Any ideas? I usually prefer delicate jewelry but do have several chunky silver pieces from Tiffany. My other Tiffany jewelry are rose gold bean earrings and necklace, CBTY ruby necklace and earrings, large link silver Hardwear necklace and bracelet, silver bone cuff, Paloma Picasso arrow single earring, and T1 rose gold ring. I also have from Cartier a set of small JUC hoops and a JUC ring, from VCA mini Frivole rose gold ruby earrings and sweet Alhambra carnelian earrings, and from Bulgari a rose gold Serpenti bracelet.

Just my personal thoughts:
1) Victoria earrings - Uncertain. The photo is quite small and I can't really identify the shape or any details. Are they the diamond 4 petal/leaf motif? If so, then kind of yes (I find it to be very classic and timeless) but since it goes over the $2400, it depends on how badly you want it.
2) Hardwear ring - I'd pass, looks uncomfortable and if you wear multiple rings, it will rub against adjacent rings.
3) Lock earring - I'd pass, I'm not good with dangle or "larger" gold earrings. I don't like relatively heavy earrings and they stretch my piercing holes.
 
Thank you for your insight! Yes, the Victoria earrings are the classic 4 petal ones. I have updated the photo I posted above:-) I completely agree with your thoughts about the Hardwear earrings and will strike them from the running for the very reasons you cited. For the Hardwear ring, I don't wear multiple rings on 1 hand, so rubbing wouldn't be a problem---comfort, on the other hand, is vital. I appreciate your thoughtful reply!

You say you own the Alhambra earrings. Get a matching bracelet.

Alas, my credit is at Tiffany and not VCA. I’m also too clumsy for an Alhambra bracelet, although I certainly appreciate their beauty. Thank you for the suggestion!
 
Thanks for all the input, everyone! I did, indeed, go for the mini Victoria. I thought I’d choose platinum but instead went with rose gold. (I don’t plan on wearing them with the earrings in my second hole. Those piercings are new, and I can’t remove them just yet:-)
