@missie1 is there one you would find easier to wear or you would wear more often than another? I mean between the Frivole btf or butterfly btf? Or does that not matter? I favor the butterflies because they seem so just whimsical and doesn’t seem to need to match anything. Whereas the Frivole feels like it needs to be part of a set. Of course just IMHO. What vibe does each give you?
 
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.

Honestly, I love it in rg and yellow but white actually takes my breath away. You must wait to try it! Also All pave Alhambra is amazing isn't it?
 
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.
Definitely try the butterfly ring and the wg pave frivole ring. While I love the butterfly earrings, I personally was not wow’d by the butterfly ring on my hand as my fingers are giant haha. The pave frivole ring is more wow than rg/yg and I would own it if I did not own lotus ring. I actually just bought a VCA ring and will post when it arrives. But I went with some non pave I know I will wear a lot. You need to buy what you will love and wear. Though I see you getting butterfly wg pave earrings and wg pave frivole ring. I think those 2 pieces would be so fantastic on you and go with your other pieces.
How did you like the pmop watch? I was considering it but I will await my rg/stainless Rolex first (if I ever get offered one).

I can’t wait to see your ring. I’m liking idea of the butterfly earrings and the Fivole ring to be honest. Had discussion about the butterfly pave earrings yesterday and my sissy thinks that I won’t wear them much. I’m going to take my time and once I’ve tried on everything then make a decision. I like the watch but it feels more like a bracelet than an actual watch. I wanted to try as I’m hoping for approval on SO piece in that stone. If approved I will get the watch. I totally would pick the Rolex over this.

@missie1 I feel like that malachite/pave bracelet would look gorgeous on you as well ;)
The pave 5 motif would be the perfect addition to your stack, I think another clover looks a bit heavy.
I hope you get to try on the butterfly ring ! Good luck deciding
I really like malachite pave combo but it’s only in YG so that rules it out for me. Only my first bracelet the lucky is in YG. I agree another Clover is definitely off the table. The Pave is on the list just need to decide metal color. Yes I definitely need to see that butterfly ring

I’m definitely going to try the wg before I decide. That all pave Alhambra was everything omg. Visually it made the wg Perlee pop and feel less metal heavy.

You hit the nail on the head when you say the 5 motif pave helps balance the metal on the Clover! I also think it compliments your tennis' too. The wg 5 motif all pave is a no brainer in my opinion. If youre still juggling what you want to get as far as earrings (butterfly vs frivole) and ring (butterfly vs frivole) but you feel you want to get something now Id go with the bracelet as its something that is a given and no extra time is needed to research like you would the earrings and ring options. However, I recognize at these prices, jumping too fast can make you feel like you had to act out of haste and that's no good either. I agree you need to try the frivole earrings on too....they really are spectacular. The way they sit on the lobe just radiates. If you are looking for a btf ring to serve as an everyday ring, I think the 2 butterfly a great everyday option as its lower profile and I know my friend wears hers every day without issue. If your less concerned with making sets but want something from both lines then I would do frivole earrings and 2 butterfly ring: that way you get the best of both worlds - the glow around the face from the pave frivole earrings and the ease of wear (and your love for butterflies which you can personally see yourself) on your fingers. I also agree with some of the remarks here stating the 2 butterfly doesnt need a pairing whereas the Frivole is a bit more suited to having a set (but not necessary). Im excited to see what you decide. Good luck my friend!

I would love the pmop watch if it came with pmop earrings haha. Why would you not wear butterfly earrings much? The wg ones look so wearable. They are like a slight bigger clingy stud.
 
Thank you so much NK321:hugs:
I love the watch and necklace of course, but I really love my Perlee diamond 3-row bracelet!!
I always wear either the WG one or the YG one!
you look absolutely amazing. And would love to see pics of your WG 3 row. I have the YG and love it too. I tried on the WG which unfortunately didn’t look amazing on me but was so pretty on my friend. So I can only enjoy seeing it on others :biggrin:
 
I tried this one in YG and WG before and was sprung too! Looks lovely on you!
Thanks it’s such a great piece.

I think because they aren’t flat like studs which I never have to worry about. I never wear anything but studs and when I wear hoops I take them off within the hour. It’s so weird

The pave definitely is on the list to get. It will work with clover and also I would have three wg bracelets to stack when I’m not wearing my Clovers. I did try on the Frivole earrings and they were beautiful. It’s the wg ring I need to still try and the butterfly ring. Once I have tried everything then I can make a decision. In my mind I’m trying to justify the following -butterfly ring, pave bracelet and Frivole set. Whew just typing that says pace yourself girl.

For sure then don’t get the butterfly earrings. I’m telling you, try the Pave Frivole. They are so light, and function like studs bc they are neutral, but with flair, lol.

However, I will say I wear earrings all the time.
