Hi guys,
I would like to humbly ask for your help to bring some light into a choice that I would like to make in the next few months.
1 I really like these VCA Frivole earrings. I don’t have any earrings from VCA. I have one frivole ring, 3 five-motif bracelets and one sweet Alhambra necklace. I think these are feminine and sparkle nicely.

2- The second choice would be the Alhambra ring in yellow gold (picture attached), which I think would match nicely with my MOP 5 motif bracelet.

3- This Hermès ring (has .33 in pave diamonds). I am working on my purchase history. I don’t HAVE to buy this ring but among their fine jewelry this is the only item I like. I have purchased other pieces of fine jewelry so I don’t have anything else I am looking at right now.
Thank you everyone!!!!! Much love to you all :heart:

Which would you get the most use out of, as in cost per wear. Which one would bring you the most joy.
Personally I don't like the Hermes ring. The earrings would get my vote.
But that is just personal preference. I'm not going to be the one wearing (or paying) for it. My choice for me would be the VCA ring as it would fit into my lifestyle better. I have forgone earrings due to wearing a mask.

I totally see what you are saying. I need to make up my mind and just go for it. Yeah this mask situation has changed a lot of our old habits. I definitely wear rings more than I wear earrings and VCA is dressier and a more classic design. Can’t go wrong with it. I might wait and get something different at H. Thank you for your opinion. I truly appreciate it

If there is no pressing reason to make a purchase now why not wait until you can be 100% sure.
I was ready to pull the trigger on a few Konstantino pieces but with all the uncertainty in the world now I have backed away from unnecessary expenditures.

I would eliminate the H as it really doesn't sound you're into it.

I like the VCA MOP ring if you already have the bracelet.

Thank you!!!! I tend to be a very decisive person :confused1: but I don’t know what the heck is going on with me. I think I love all 3 and I wish I could buy them all at once ha ha ha. I will continue my H journey and I do like the ring but there’s something about VCA that is so attractive. Darn!!!

I’d get the frivole earrings.
You already have a frivole ring to match - that would make a super nice set. Plus you don’t have VCA earrings yet, so it fills a gap in your collection.

I actually tried on that ring last weeknd (in white gold) intending to buy it, and passed because I found it a little underwhelming in that size. The magic size was much more appealing on the hand, and the single tiny Diamond in the middle I found was distracting from the beauty of the MOP without really adding much to the design or sparkle.
I’d skip the H all together, you don’t sound too excited about it (although personally I do like that particular design)

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback!!! I will make this purchase around December so I am weighing all the feedback I am receiving. I appreciate your time. I like the Hermes design and the ring. I think the problem is that I love the VCA ring too. If I didn’t have to compare both or if I already had the VCa ring, H would definitely be the go to choice. I guess I am answering my own questions LOL When I put them side to side VCA is so special. I am attaching a picture of the white gold. I was considering the magic one but my hands are tiny. My ring size is 3.25. So the one with the dia in the middle looks well balanced.

Oh wow you’re hands are tiny!
Mine is a 6, so I bet it does look better balanced on you.
Good luck with you’re decision. At the end of the day it should really be whichever one excites you the most because I’m sure we can all use some form of logic to persuade or desuade in either direction :lol:
