I'm just out of the boutique after I saw the new collection.
Just wanted to share my impressions immediately with the fellow community!
I bought the lapis pendant. It was beautiful. Love at first sight. Dark rich blue lapis with golden specs. I handed over my card right away and asked to do the transaction ASAP lol! Low key but meditative at the same time. I'm so happy that they offered it to me and managed to keep it aside because it was the only piece. I sent it for extension right away so I'll share more photos once I collect it.
Other pieces:
1. Coloured gemstones rings were nice but all the stones are on the lighter side. Sapphires were nothing special. Emeralds were nice but lighter shade as well. Rubies had too much of raspberry colour in them which I don't enjoy. I still think these rings have a lot of potential with the right stones: darker sapphires, darker emeralds, better shaded rubies.
2. I saw lapis lazuli, coral and malachite rings. Impression is average but I would love to add a lapis ring in future with the right stone matching the pendant. That particular ring I saw was visibly lighter and didn't have the gold specs in it so it was an easy pass. There was no turquoise ring. Coral was nice but I didn't warm up to it, it just wasn't something outstanding except the fact that "omg it's coral". You know what I mean.
3. Perlee oval earrings. Super sparkly and large in real life. Nice weight. But very grandma style, I'm sorry VCA, very easy pass for me.
And here we go with some pics (some pieces are mine))):

I tried to capture the difference between the pendant and the ring but it's very hard. Coral looks richer colour in the photo rather than in real life.

Sapphire ring. Feels lighter shade in real life.

No mod shot as it was a very small size for me. Rather acceptable but I would have chosen a darker shade.

Rubies are raspberry. I would wait for a piece which would have a blood red selection or not buy at all.

Here we go! I will be visiting another boutique later today and post another update most likely!
