Hello everyone!
Here's my latest purchase: the mini turquoise Rose de Noël pendant.

As a side note, this is a pendant I had the chance to try on in London with my local SA.
I fell in love with this pendant even though I'd declined to see it with my home boutique SA. But since it arrived on the pieces to try in London, I was immediately charmed. I decided to buy it at once, and unfortunately, it wasn't possible since it's not my main boutique (the poor SA learned it the hard way and so did I on that occasion !) So I asked my main boutique to purchase this pendant over seven months ago. Having had no news recently, I contacted a boutique in Japan which is my next trip, explaining that this was the pendant I wanted to acquire as a priority, as I was going there in a few days. I was very excited about the possibility and the opportunity to find this item there and bring it as a souvenir. And all of a sudden, my SA wrote to me three days ago: my turquoise pendant arrived at the home boutique !! What a coincidence, right?! Knowing that at one of the stores in Japan, a SA had found a pendant (unfortunately, in a color I didn't like, judging by the videos...)
And what should I do now, since I'm really hesitant to buy similar earrings? These RDN are a truly superb collection. I love the asymmetry, the detail of the shape, and especially the stones, whether lapis lazuli or turquoise, and I can see myself buying even more pieces in the future, like the gray mother-of-pearl ones (a brooch or a large pendant). It's a collection that's perfect for mixing and matching IMO.
Here are some photos of my pendant on my ear. What do you think? Thanks for your feedback, and have a great weekend.

I think both colour ways look lovely on you!

Both colors look great on you but I prefer Lapis.

I actually think the turquoise is gorgeous against your skin tone! If the RDN turquoise earrings are hard to get in a color to match, maybe you could get the two butterfly earrings? Several people on the forum have paired those together and I think it’s a lovely combination.
May I ask, because I’m confused by your story: why couldn’t the London store sell you the pendant?

Personally, I love the turquoise earrings on you.
But then you’d need the 20-motif diamond and turquoise Alhambra.

The VCA wish list never ends.

I am unsure of the rule but my London SA thought it would be ok. Then he checked all details when I wanted to pay and then he told me he was so sorry but against their corporate rules to sell to somebody whose home boutique isn’t his. Well I was confused but in whole can’t complain I wouldn’t have been able to see that piece at that time at my boutique because I just bought the lapis earrings and the TQ RDN were allocated to someone else …

Dearest Sophie, warmest congratulations! The RdN pendent looks fabulous on you! The color fits your skin tone perfectly! I am very happy for you.
Saying this I am not quite sure about the RdN turquoise earrings. To my humble opinion the butterflies or maybe the new perlee Couleur will work better.
Wish you a nice weekend

I didn’t know that RDN pieces were only for reserved clients. Or maybe it’s because it was turquoise? Interesting to know.

I think it is lapis and turquoise only maybe …

Congratulations @Sophie0121 The TQ really pops on you! I could never make TQ work in my collection but on you it just glows! My vote to get the TQ butterfly earrings to pair with this gorgeous pendant.

A couple of more shots of me trying them on at home.

They look great. So worth trip to the island.

Congratulations on the pendant…this is a lovely shade of turquoise. Now I personally find larger turquoise earrings difficult to wear near my face. I have earrings that I’ve never worn so maybe the butterflies or the perlee would work better.

 

[sammix3]

They look lovely on you! Enjoy them.


Wow! That’s exciting for you.

Congratulations! I love my sweet pave bracelet also.


Yay!

The ring is beautiful! Enjoy it!

I added my second Butterfly piece yesterday.

Do you like the mop or pink sapphire more? I’m debating between these two as well.

 

[citykitty24]

Do you like the mop or pink sapphire more? I’m debating between these two as well.

I am happy to have both now, but if I had to pick one, I would say the pink sapphire is a great statement piece. The MOP has a beautiful, subtle glow (and I'm wearing it today!), whereas the sapphire is a fun pop of color that makes me happy since my favorite color is pink. While they are both theoretically the same design, I find that they are different enough to still have a place in my collection. They also are distinct in that they tend to mix and match better with different earrings. For example, I like the pink sapphire Butterfly with my RG pink sapphire Frivole earrings, but the MOP Butterfly goes nicely with my non-VCA MOP earrings or non-pave Frivole earrings.

@Sophie0121 Congratulations on your turquoise necklace! Beautiful color.

@Sophie0121 Congratulations on your turquoise necklace! Beautiful color.

I have the RG pink sapphire frivole earrings too. I need to try them with the pink sapphire butterfly pendant next time they’re available at the boutique. I have the pink porcelain holiday pendant but I haven’t worn it in a while and my favorite color is pink. I’m concerned it might not get as much wear. It is a beautiful and unique piece.

On the other hand, the RG mop is also beautiful and I love that it has matching earrings. It’s more versatile but I wonder if I would love the matching pieces in 10 years.

I wish all the pieces were available to try on at the same time so I can compare. They’re all beautiful so I feel like I can’t go wrong with either. I just need an unlimited budget
