You have a great memory, and yes, I am going to get the Lotus BTF ring. My SA has requested several sizes for me to be sure I purchase the correct size. To me, I don't think Frivole matches Lotus (rounded heart-shaped petals vs. pointy petals and leaves). So for me, I would not mix these two designs, but that's just me.

And now, I'm going to speak heresy... I am actually not in love with the Lotus design as it is plain to me, so I don't think I want any other Lotus pieces. Forgetting the Lotus BTF ring, if I look at just the Lotus pendant or one Lotus earring, the design itself does not wow me as anything special. I know... heresy, and yes, I realize tons of people love Lotus, so Lotus lovers, please don't shoot me. :sad: I think I am in love with the Lotus ring more for it's technical design as it is gorgeous when worn open and packs a punch. I told my SA I plan to wear it open only, so sizing would be for my right hand finger.

Now Frivole, I am in love with that design. The heart shaped petals and the 3-D make it so gorgeous and artistic. Even my husband mentioned the heart-shaped petals. Before I purchased my Frivole BTF, I was looking at all BTFs and showing my husband my top choices. I thought I wanted the Magic Alhambra BTF. My husband sees Frivole and says "I like that one, and oh, do you see, the petals are little hearts, you have to get it". I can't believe he noticed it; he's a romantic I must say.

Who knows... maybe once I get my Lotus BTF ring, I may fall in love with the rest of the Lotus collection. But like you... I am infatuated with BTF rings. The Cosmos diamond and oynx BTF ring is a future one I am considering. The black onyx is different and gives is a bit of punch vs. being just "another flower ring". It also comes with matching earrings which I like the design. This is a huge plus to me as I can make a set. I have never tried on the Butterfly BTF. I had always dismissed it, but I'll try it on when I go to VCA. Thanks for the nudge!

You are so lucky you can visit a store multiple times to try things on often! I am sure you have a blast and your SA loves seeing you!

I am a firm believer in ‘buy what you love’ ...we all have different tastes and lifestyles so it’s only natural to like different things or not like them. So, I would definitely stick to the lotus BTF ring for now and re-evaluate in the future additional Lotus psince our tastes are constantly evolving. Believe it or not, when the Frivole BTF ring first came out in YG, I actually thought it was too much on me! Look at me now! I am so all over that ring in RG!

Do give the butterfly ring a try! I started becoming obsessed with it sometime last year and I remember asking my SA how I missed out on it to which he replied cheekily that in the past I have tried and and showed no interest in it:biggrin:...btw, the cosmos diamond BTF ring is stunning! I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts after trying everything at the store!
Having my local VCA store near me and a fabulous SA is a blessing for me and a curse for my wallet
:girlsigh:

so so pretty, does the bangle get caught easily?

Thank you! I do Have to say, if you are wearing a knit long sleeve top (especially if the knitting is the looser style), it will get caught from time to time. So I feel this is more of a spring/summer bangle, or to wear with long sleeves that are tapered at the wrist,
