Van Cleef in action!

Now here is pic that SA took of my arm with the addition of RG full clover and posted to IG. This mixed metal stack was beautiful. Makes me think do I need another full Clover?

@missie1 thank you for all the eye candy girl! My eyes are going

Okay, I am in absolute agreement with both @EpiFanatic and @marbella8 regarding the all pave 5-motif over another clover. I can’t tell you how many times I have thought about adding a WG perlee clover but always have to remind myself that one clover bracelet looks AMAZING but two clover bracelets look too busy and detract from the beauty of the bracelet plus there are so many beautiful pieces to consider, why repeat the same pieces in different metals (says the lady with the same bag in multiple colors but then bags are not the same as jewelry for me. I am much more mindful about the jewelry pieces I add than bags because I sell a bag the moment I outgrow it.The resale value of jewelry is so bad that it makes me think harder and longer before I get anything.

Now, let’s talk about the pave Frivole BTF ring! Gosh, I die at how stunning they look on you especially the RG! I know I am biased but you can’t go wrong on any metal you get the ring and earrings in. Aren’t the earrings spectacular? I can’t tell you how many compliments I get every time I wear them. They light up the face!

Now, which ones to get? I would get in the following order -
- Frivole or butterfly BTF ring
- the Frivole earrings if you get the Frivole ring
- butterfly ring if you get the Frivole ring first
- the pave 5 motif bracelet ( because you already have amazing bracelets. I would add the rings and earrings before the 5 motif).

Are you looking to add the pave 5 motif in RG or WG? If RG, the SO will be the same price as the YG one. There is no 30% mark up for any pave pieces. I didn’t pay for them for my SO magic pave ring or the Guilloche/ pave 5-motif. Also, my SO ring just got approved and there is no 30% markup on that either!

Can’t wait to see what you decide to get next!

Eid Mubarak @Prada Prince I love seeing you wear the yellow diamond and blue sapphire rings!

Thank you so much my dear @eternallove4bag

 

[hers4eva]

So I popped into VCA in the Crystals yesterday and look at some of the goodies. The all pave Alhambra is definitely a contender.

the vintage alhambra full pave bracelet in WG is to die for
it’s looks prettier in your photo than on VCA website!

I could even dig your three bracelet’s in this order from left to right:
tennis, sweet perlee and then (your-to-be WG alhambra pave) … wow

 

[lynne_ross]

Now ladies I attempted to try my beloved butterfly ring on but no such luck. I did try on the the Fivole in RG and absolutely loved this ring. I mean wow. I need to see in wg but I was sprung.

I would focus on rings before adding more bracelets. Your stack is substantial and gorgeous as is, plus the frivole ring looks perfect on you! Focus on frivole and butterfly rings. Both will suit your stack and your have great ring fingers!

 

[marbella8]

The Frivole ring was absolutely beautiful and I tried the earrings on also. I could have died happily right there. This ring I need to see in WG and I still need to see the butterfly ring but omg it was stunning. I’m now more confused than ever about what ring. I also found the Frivole pave earring to be perfect on the ear. Have a lot of decisions to make for my next purchase.

I’m with lots of others on here- get the Pave-Frivole Ring, then Pave-Frivole earrings (I have these in YG and love them more than my other VCA-Pave earrings). I think you’ll enjoy the Frivole more than the 2 butterfly, or you may need both, but from the photo, the Frivole ring should be your next purchase, no doubt about it, and trust me I am one of those in this forum that would discourage you rather than enable if something didn’t look amazing. Then, go for the pave earrings, they are so beautiful. After that, you should probably get the 5-motif bracelet or the butterfly ring. I can’t wait to see what you get. I just love your style, it’s your own, you mix metals and brands, and I am a big fan of doing that!

These are absolutely stunning pics, missie

Gorgeous, love it on you for sure!

Alhambra pave in WG is incredible

 

[EpiFanatic]

Epifanatic, That full pave was absolutely spectacular. I could stack with the Perlees or my WG Alhambra pieces. I could honestly can you imagine it stacked with my onyx and turquoise omg.

YES. I am happy to envision that all day long. And I think you can throw that on with your other bangles too, and in fact it may pop even more with bangles. But seriously who am I kidding. Wg full pave 5 motif is an absolutely #itotallydare bracelet. I can imagine the WG frivoles on your ears. I cheer louder for the WG pave butterflies. That would be the only piece that to me rivals the pave 5 motif for you. But I am very very biased because I think the WG pave butterflies are beyond stunning on you. Yeah…

Dear @missie1 The Frivole BTFR looked stunning on you! I am the exact opposite (and the minority perhaps) of you to venture out to the Pave BTFR and earrings FIRST than the diamond bangle/bracelets I collected Alhambra bracelets in different stones that I like and Perlee signature, then paused for a bit and resumed on the diamonds BTFR and earrings. I still have Clover bangle in my wishlists, i.e. (1) Perlee Sweet Clover RG and (2) Perlee WG Clover (if I could).

I am in resonance with others here that it would be better to get the BTFR or Diamond earrings first, rather than adding another bracelet/bangle. I feel there's no gap in your current bracelet collection - I am not sure with the others but I would only go with mixing metals if my core collection is already complete, i.e. bracelet, earrings, ring, pendant.

Between the Butterfly vs. Frivole - I am in the minority as well where I would go with the Two Butterfly first. Butterfly is Love at First Sight for me whilst Frivole - the collection needed sometime to grow on me. I am still hesitant about Frivole BTFR to be honest (though I admit that the Frivole BTFR is pure bling) and hence I decided with the Pink Sapphire/Rose Gold Frivole set which only comes in earrings and pendant. I did have the opportunity to try between the WG Frivole BTFR vs RG Frivole BTFR and I would prefer Frivole BTFR in WG. I can post some modeling pics for you to check out too!

Think at the end of the day, you should go with your heart.... If Two Butterfly it is - then go for it!

I am attaching WG BTFRs that I’ve tried for your easy reference.. and also Noeud Ring!

I feel bling factor of the Frivole BTFR is really amplified in the WG, rather than RG, and Butterfly BTFR is much more fun in half pave with the other combination (WG/Pink Sapphire, WG/Yellow Sapphire, YG/Lapis, or YG/TQ). I would rather go with Flowerlace or Lotus for the WG Diamond .... Of course this is my personal preference after some brainwashing by the VCA SAs so far

Girl you summed up the jumbled thoughts in my head perfectly regarding the clover. I knew this was a decision that I needed our group to help me with. The pave piece is spectacular. I’m so torn now that I can get in RG with no markup. It would look insane stacked with gmop pave and RG is my favorite metal. However the WG clover is so metal heavy the Pave wg would pop the mini clovers on the bracelet and look great stacked with my turquoise. This is definitely a decision that needs to be thought out. OMG I was so not prepared to absolutely love love the Frivole pieces. I think they must go on the list. I’m stuck now because I adore butterflies and I was only planning one butterfly btw ring as I had toyed with idea of not getting butterfly earrings because how often would I wear them. Now I’m so stuck

The WG was pretty special. It just popped the mini clovers on the perlee in such a way that provided cohesion without looking intentional.
I love the new stack combo idea. Now gotta figure out the pave piece lol

I would focus on rings before adding more bracelets. Your stack is substantial and gorgeous as is, plus the frivole ring looks perfect on you! Focus on frivole and butterfly rings. Both will suit your stack and your have great ring fingers!

You know me so well as I was going to switch gears and put bracelet first lol. Glad to have girls keeping me on track. I’m going today to the VCA in the Forum as their IO so hopefully they have butterfly ring in stock for me to compare. I’m definitely going to stick to plan for ring next but I’m so torn now. I’ve got to see the butterfly ring so I can make a decision. I feel like I want both but I’m trying to be practical and stick to adding pieces that I will wear.

YES. I am happy to envision that all day long. And I think you can throw that on with your other bangles too, and in fact it may pop even more with bangles. But seriously who am I kidding. Wg full pave 5 motif is an absolutely #itotallydare bracelet. I can imagine the WG frivoles on your ears. I cheer louder for the WG pave butterflies. That would be the only piece that to me rivals the pave 5 motif for you. But I am very very biased because I think the WG pave butterflies are beyond stunning on you. Yeah…

You know my heart beats for those Pave Butterflies. That’s why I need to see the ring. To determine if that works instead. I dont think I want a set for butterflies. Just that one whimsical piece. I’m not an earring person so I only want to add 1 more pair. Now that the Frivole set has come into play all my thoughts are in disarray. The pave bracelet is now on the list.

I’m with lots of others on here- get the Pave-Frivole Ring, then Pave-Frivole earrings (I have these in YG and love them more than my other VCA-Pave earrings). I think you’ll enjoy the Frivole more than the 2 butterfly, or you may need both, but from the photo, the Frivole ring should be your next purchase, no doubt about it, and trust me I am one of those in this forum that would discourage you rather than enable if something didn’t look amazing.

I just love your style, it’s your own, you mix metals and brands, and I am a big fan of doing that!

I definitely needed help staying the course for the ring being my next purchase. @lynne_ross knew I was going to change gears and shoot for bracelet so glad you ladies pulled me back on track lol. I’m totally in love with that Frivole ring and just need to see the butterfly ring to compare it now. I can’t justify getting two pairs of Pave earrings and the butterfly earrings make my heart flutter so the ring might satisfy me. Then I could get the Frivole earrings to match the ring. Thanks for the kind words on style my stacks. I love a good balanced arm.

Thanks yes I would love to see some modeling pics. I definitely would have gotten the bracelet lol next as I’m not earring or necklace girl really. My right hand definitely is the next piece. I want to add carefully and pieces that I will wear so I need to see that butterfly ring to determine if I love it more than earrings. If I don’t then the Frivole rings wins by default and butterfly earrings go back on the list.

Such a stunning combination!

Take your time @missie1 As I always say, planning is half the fun and best of all, it doesn’t cost a thing

If you plan to add just one pair of pave earrings then the Frivole pave get my vote! The butterfly ring is one piece in my collection that I don’t feel the need to match with another butterfly piece. That’s the beauty of VCA pieces. They coordinate so well that we don’t need a matching piece for everything. And this is coming from a hardcore mathcy-matchy gal

As for rings, you know deep in your heart you are eventually getting both Frivole and butterflies. You just have to decide which to get first.

You can’t wrong with either WG or RG pave 5-motif and I think by the time you get the rings and earrings, you will be in a better shape to see which metal of the pave 5-motif would fill the gap in your updated collection
