Some of you may remember that I was trying to decide between the lotus ring and noeud for my anniversary last year. I decided on lotus since I had wanted it for awhile, but the noeud was my husband’s favourite. Appears my husband felt I needed the noeud as he got it for me for my big birthday this year! Thrilled to add the noeud to my collection as I believe it is more me than the lotus and it will easily become a daily piece. My sweet SA also sent flowers - that happen to match my nails haha.

Good thought! I am not a fan of Pearl studs or strands. I think I grew up with the generation where moms wore Pearl sets and I can’t not think of them being matronly. I do love pearls jewellery that is more design based or more like Pearl drops. I want to try the Mikomoto jeux du ruban to see if they would work.

What about the Van Cleef Ruban or Noued earrings?

This is exactly what I was thinking of my wearing two WG Clovers together.
I love your look with the butterfly ring. The YG and yellow sapphire match great... the shades of "yellow" do not compete or overpower each other. If I mixed metals and didn't mind the jingle, I would totally wear that look. It is not too much at all, not to me. By the way, do you jingle? :biggrin: :heart:

I love that look! You have a gorgeous collection!

It's odd how they make the earrings in all WG, yet the ring is mixed metal.
I am confused though. The first pair look like the Ruban earrings. I tried on the Ruban secret watch thinking to wear it on my right hand as a bracelet (bad idea), so I think I recognize those earrings.

This must mean the second pair are the Noeud earrings. However, these earrings used mixed cut diamonds, yet the Noeud ring only uses round cut diamonds. Are these really the Noeud earrings? If yes, I don't think it's a great match as the Noeud ring does not have any baquette cut diamonds. Plus, where are the ribbon tails? The beauty of Noeud to me are the ribbons with the tails. Otherwise, without the ribbon tails, it's just a fat Christmas bow.

This is definitely part of the Noeud collection. There's also a matching brooch and ring, which interestingly is called the Ruban so it may be some of the attributions are not correct.
While I too love the ribbons with tails, I'm not sure how amenable that design would work on the ear. . . perhaps they altered the design for earrings? But VCA has done bows forever, so it could be the earrings are from a different collection. I'm sure they'd mix and match beautifully.
In any event, I have them and they're gorgeous when worn!

Yes, I agree... the crazy naming problem. Which earrings do you have? The first or second? Is the second earring part of Ruban? If it's part of Ruban, maybe they make a ring in all WG vs Noeud which only comes in mixed metal? Do you know if the second earrings (the fat Christmas bow) come in a ring? That would make a nice ring if the bow was a jumbo size bow. I could ask my SA too also unless you think it's been discontinued. I love the mixed diamond cuts.

I have the first earrings--the Noued . . . . They don't look like much in a photo, but they're large and very graceful. They remind me of the Flowerlace. Frankly, I thought that the second, (not that I've ever seen them IRL) were a bit matronly, but I bet a ring in that style would be just gorgeous.
VCA is a mystery to me. I ran a search for the double-bow Noued ring, the one @lynne_ross just bought--it doesn't appear on the website, but obviously it's available (unless it's been discontinued). So I have no idea of what is/is not available and what can or cannot be ordered.
Ask. Pester, nag, probe and cross-examine, and please report back.

Do you have modelling pic of your earrings? If not it is ok, thought I would ask. Yes that is a good point that who knows what is available. The noeud ring has been off the site for about 1.5 years now. I was concerned they would discontinue.

I completely agree with you! The first earrings look great and are a perfect match. The second earrings would not be my first choice for earrings, but a big fat ring! I will check with my SA.

Not a very good photo or modeling shot and the outfit leaves much to be desired. However, the earrings are very pretty even though I am not showing them off to great advantage.
