Not my most recent purchase..my hubby bought this in advance of our anniversary to ensure we had it on hand. I can finally wear this beauty. Pics of my lotus ring worn my 2 favourite ways.
Now I just need to decide on earrings...

Hi! I keep coming back to your mod shots, and this ring looks stunning on you. I chose the Frivole BTF over Lotus because I thought the Lotus made my fingers look stumpy. I need to try this ring on again and put it back on my maybe list, over the Magic BTF which is currently at the top of my list.

Oh, you could wear the small Frivole Pave earrings. Not exactly a perfect match but close.

Truly, this ring looks so gorgeous on you... you have lovely hands and nice long fingers! Just Beautiful!

Thanks so much!
If you love the design I would say go for it. The lotus is gorgeous to stare at. My DH thought the lotus was too much for everyday wear but after seeing me now wear the ring a few days in a row with a range of outfits and occasions he agrees I made the right choice. I have been wearing on my pointer for a more fun look and then open for a more dressed up look.
I am having a hard time picking earrings. I love the look of the matching lotus earrings but I don’t love the earrings on their own and would just be buying to have with ring. I own the pave frivoles in yg already. And I actually am not a fan of the wg ones with the lotus. The round feminine shape of the frivoles doesn’t go to me with the pointy more edgy look of look. I love the magic wg pave earrings with lotus but the earrings are too big for my small lobes and look silly on me. I am looking at non vca pieces now. Considering the Pasquale Bruni garden earrings. Feel they have same pointy flower look and they are earrings I could wear a lot for work. Otherwise, considering having a pair of cluster earrings made. Would be a beautiful pairing.

Happy anniversary ! For the earrings, will you consider Socrate 3 flowers? They are substantial enough but will not compete so much with the Lotus ring. I like the Lotus earrings after looking at photos of other VCA fans here who own both lotus ring and earrings, they seem like a good pairing.

After trying on both the Frivole and the Lotus earrings, I prefer the Lotus earrings. I have them on my wish list. It just feels right. Maybe cos I don't have the Lotus ring so it is easier for me.
One needs to choose what feels right for oneself.

I have tried the Socrast and they are beautiful, but not me. I am not a fan of small cluster flowers. If I were to get a vca pair of earrings in wg it would be the lotus. They are my favourite wg pair and would go with my ring. I am looking at non vca for now though. If I don’t find the right pair then will consider lotus.

I feel the same way about the rounded petals vs. the pointy petals! It will work if you force it, but it really is not a match. I’m such a matchy matchy person, I couldn’t do it. I can’t even do an Alhambra bracelet with my Frivole BTF as I don’t think the quatrefoil matches the heart-shaped petals. Just because it’s VCA does not mean pieces match.

Yes... after seeing your mod shots, I sure need to try that Lotus ring again! I am small, 5’ 2”, 108lbs, so you would think I would be a size 48 or so ring size. Nope... small hands, but think chunky fingers (size 52 right hand ring finger). The Lotus looked like the flower went nearly up to my knuckles. I love bold rings, but it was like “where are the rest of your fingers?!” Maybe I had a bloated fat finger day... I will blame it on too much salt for dinner! But now you have me going, and I want to try it again. I plan to wear the ring casual, with skinny jeans, and open, on my ring hand ring finger.

As a design, I love the 3D petals of the Frivole BTF more. But I am in love with that bold between the finger look that Frivole does not give you. Frivole BTF ring is more like a giant flower ring because the flowers are so close together, which I also love. The Magic BTF ring does give that BTF look, but that ring to me is on the edge of a logo-ring vs. a true artistic design if that makes sense. Hmm... I am thinking now skip the Magic BTF and make the Lotus work (I’ll eat a light no-salt salad the day prior so I don’t bloat up! Ha!)

I am at loss too for earrings, and I like sets. And like you, the Lotus earrings don’t quite speak to me. They are kind of ordinary, like any “cluster flower diamond earring”. I would love to hear what you decide as earrings! You can also check out the Kwiat star earrings. I used to love the Kwiat star. Not really a flower, but the diamonds are marquise cut so you get the pointed edge.

Now I really can’t wait to fly out to VCA! April can’t come soon enough. For sure, I will get the Frivole Pave WG earrings to match my BTF ring, so at least I will be happy I will come home with something! Maybe another BTF ring!

Your Lotus ring is beautiful, but it’s not just the ring. It’s your lovely hand and long slender fingers that make such a gorgeous look! You wear it really well!

Here is the Kwiat star I am talking about. I had these, but when I bought them, they also make a version that is just a stud, no French hoop. Just FYI in case you might like the Kwiat star.

How nice that people don't like the same things, it will be very boring if everyone likes the same things or same people.

I stick to the Lotus earrings. Yes, it might look originary to some. So it derserves to be in the jewelry box of those who appreciate it.

Sorry, not yo

Yes, if you love them, get them! Post photos!

Why look at photos of something you don't like? That's strange.

Plus, I am not good at following orders or commands.

Anyway, have a good day or good night.

Thanks for suggestion. These are beautiful and the point look. I think I want a bit bigger than these, closer to lotus/frivoles earrings.

You are too kind.
I would suggest taking an honest friend and try the lotus ring again. I bet it is all in your head of how the ring looks to you. Most of the time your fingers are bent too, so others just see flashes of diamonds and a neat ring design. Hope it can work since you sound like you really love it like I do.

Had a hard time choosing between the vintage and sweet Alhambra mop. I think the sweet are perfect for everyday use!This was vday present ❤️

My recent purchases of perlee rings. They look better with greenery background, lol. Apologize for the large images

After 5 months of waiting, finally received the new Hellebore lapis ring
Thank you for letting me share.

OOOOH FABULOUS!!!! Congratulations!!!

So happy to be your twin!!

Congratulations!!!! A stunning set!!!!! I love it with the alhambras too!!!!

Thanks, girl! Thank you also for your advice on my other thread - that really pushed me to purchase the Clover in medium and I am so glad that I did because the two stack beautifully together.

Absolutely stunning! The perlee clover bracelet continues to be my HG piece of jewelry

Mine, too, babe! I admire it so much more than any of my pave Cartier pieces, I will admit. Even he comments on it constantly and loves to see it on my wrist.

Stunning! I really wanted to get pearls of gold to stack with clover but have given up on it as VCA don’t do size small. If I knew VCA don’t do small size pearls of gold before getting clover, I would have gone for medium.. too late now. Love your stacks!

Thank you!

VCA will do small, but it's a special order for whatever reason. I do find that the medium fits larger than what I am used to via Cartier, but I do also find that the loose fit feels more casual which I like!
