Hi! If you have been wanting the Frivole BTF pave ring, don't hesitate! Order one!
I think you know by now, it is my favorite VCA ring. It's super blingy, super glamorous, and super versatile.
On your ring size, this is what I would suggest...
- Get a baseline on VCA ring sizes. First, try on any VCA ring in your estimated sizes. Try on closed rings and open rings if you can. They do not have to be Frivole, see if you can try on any BTF ring to get a feel. This is to help you with peace of mind you are in the correct range. If your ring size is super small though like a size 42, that may not be possible. I think rings on the far end of the sizes (small and large) need to be ordered given limited demand.
- Then, order the two rings sizes you think you need. I always try on two sizes so I do not second guess myself. These rings cannot be resized as you know.
- If you cannot or feel odd ordering two rings at the same time, order the smaller one first. Why?
Loose rings always "feel great" when trying them on because they are loose. For me, this means if you order the looser ring first, it doesn't really help with the process of elimination. That's why I suggest ordering the smaller ring first. If that's a bit snug for you and you are not sure, you will know to go back and order the larger one.
When trying ring sizes, I always like to try on the size that does NOT fit for peace of mind. I then know for sure the next size up is what I need. I always do this with clothes too. Jeans is a great example. Loose jeans always fit and can work, but if you try on the size that is too tight, you for sure know it will not work. Hence, you know the next size up is what you need.
On what finger...
Everyone wears rings differently, but I can share my thoughts.
For rings with a beautiful design such as Frivole, I prefer them on ring finger or middle finger. Why?
Because the ring is the star when it lays centered/off centered on your hands. The hand become the "base" to "present" the gorgeous design in its full beauty.
An analogy is little ring bearer pillow used in a wedding. The little ring bearer pillow is to "present" the ring (whether ir be the actual ring or symbolic). The ring is centered, there is no mistake, the ring is the star. Think of the pillow as your hand. If the ring was on the edge of the pillow, it would not be the same effect to me.
For Frivole on the ring finger...
I feel Frivole worn on the ring finger loses it's glamour. The look is now more eclectic, bohemian, edgey. I do not like that the beautiful flowers are now half on the hand and half just hanging off the finger, sticking out. The ring to me is no longer the star on your hand because it is now on the side. I also think now the eye sees too much hand because the middle and fourth fingers are so bare (e.g. where's the ring?!)
Staying with the wedding ring bearer pillow analogy, it would be like presenting the Frivole ring on the edge of the ring bearer pillow. I think that glamorous look is lost; it's now eclectic. So think of what your look. How one wears jewelry is 100% preference depending on their fashion look.
A thought for you on which finger...
Try this ring on your middle finger and see how you like it. Pick any size Frivole ring as the size of the flowers are the same on all ring sizes. I think this ring would look gorgeous on your middle finger. It would be like a garden of flowers sitting on top of your hand, so so beautiful to me.
If I may share my thoughts on your comment about wasting your SAs time..
You are not wasting your SAs time. SAs are here to help you, and SAs are in this job to make a sale.
This ring is not the typical Alhambra pendant or 5 motif bracelet purchase. This is a good size purchase, so your SA will be very glad to help you to make this sale to help her quota.
To make you feel better about ordering and to put it in perspective...
My SA told me the Alhambra pendant is a very popular item due to the entry level price point average of $3K. The Frivole pave BTF averages $24K. This means your SA needs to sell EIGHT Alhambra pendants to equal selling just one Frivole pave BTF ring. She would love to help you and sell you this ring.
Many pieces need to be ordered these days, so whether she is ordering a $3K pendant or a $24K ring, the effort for her is the exact same (type the order in the computer, it takes only a few minutes).
With this ring, she is now closer to hitting her sales quota. I keep bringing up her sales quota to put in perspective sales is what drives a SA. SAs are here to sell and make their quota. This is why SAs want to help you buy.
All SAs ask is that you be kind, not demanding, nor act entitled. You definitely sound like you are super super kind and courteous. Who would not want you as a client?! A client wanting to buy a $24K Frivole ring!
So, I vote order the ring!
Yikes, sorry for the long post. This just my two cents, maybe five cents!

I hope this helps. I am certain you will love this ring! Good luck and post photos if you wish.
