For Newbies and Seasoned Collectors: Share Your Tips and Experiences in Curating Your VCA Collection

I need to retry them both on again. I want the ring to be wearable and not feel fussy so that makes me think butterfly but the Frivole makes me smile when I see it.

I totally get it. If a ring feels fussy then you won’t reach for it as much. The butterflies definitely feel simpler. Would having a ring at that price point sitting bother you?

With your beautiful collection I can see how difficult it would be to choose the right piece to add, especially with the stock/SO/MTO situation. I turned 50 last year and wanted something special to mark the milestone. I have spent the year since encountering major medical problem after major medical problem. Several surgeries later I am in a YOLO mode. If I was ever offered a Tiffany Owl on a Rock (the star sapphire or black opal) I would buy it in a heartbeat even if it sat in a box on the counter for me to admire most days. Obviously, while being fiscally responsible.

Meaning, IMO, choose something fabulous that you love, even if you don't wear it every day or get a fantastic cost-per-wear. Sounds like the RG bracelet/watch is the closest to that on your list.

Wishing you healing and speedy recovery. The 10 motif turquoise is my Tiffany owl on a rock. The watch is close and if I knew the SO would happen I could see getting it. I told my BFF that I wasn’t going to spend serious coins for anything that I wouldn’t wear but few times a year if that.

I’ve seen a school mom with the 20 motif turquoise and it looks amazing with everything. The color pops and transforms every outfit. I hope your dreams come true soon.

Thank you. It’s been an absurd series of non life threatening but life altering illnesses. I’m super thankful for my insurance. And for the photos and discussions on this forum that keep me company.

Yes it might bother me. I’m not sure I can wear ring in the same casual way I do my bracelets so it might sit.

Read your posts missie. Firstly - happy big birthday! I love celebrating a milestone with a gift.
From your posts I would wait until you find something you love. No need to rush. When that idea comes along you can grab it. You don’t sound convinced on any items. Otherwise, I would recommend you get a ring. I bought my lotus first and I got it as an occasional ring. But after owning it I realized how big rings work for me and that I reach for them daily. From there I kept adding. Rings are my absolutely favourite now and I prioritize them first. I love wearing them and looking at them. I assume it is difficult to know if you will love a big ring. You could try buying a costume one first to see how much you use it. Maybe that will help with the decision.
