Congrats on you beautiful new acquisition!! Thanks for sharing the eye candies. I’m eyeing to non-pave large frivole pendant to wear with my large frivole earrings but it’s not available to try on nowA few updates to those who had asked:
- I purchased the Frivole pave earrings to match my BTF ring. Love them.
- Frivole Very Large pendant, as I thought, is not big enough as a long necklace. It doesn't make a statement, as least not for me. It would be very nice as a short pendant though.
- Lotus Ring... my SA was able to bring in size 52 and 54. The size 53 is sold out. Well... I need a 53! I could get both sizes on, but the 52 was a tiny bit too tight for my liking, and the 54 was too loose. Big bummer I could not take one home with me.I ordered the size 53, and it is being sent to my home when they get one.
Here is a photo of the Very Large pendant next to my BTF ring and earrings for size comparison.

So nice that you got the earrings so you can have a set with your ring! What did you think of the pave Frivole bracelet?A few updates to those who had asked:

That is too bad that the correct size for your Lotus was not in. With current stock being limited, "of course" the one you need wouldn't be in! Because of this, everything takes longer to acquire (by the time you can try all the sizes and options it ends up taking multiple visits - at least that has been the case for me). I hope you decided to have the correct size sent to you?? I tried it last month and it is STUNNER! Anyway, not all was lost as you came home with those beautiful earrings. Congratulations.
I think that would be really pretty together as that Large pendant is short. It would make a great set!
And yes... they are out of a lot of stuff. I hope your earrings come in soon! I am obsessed with making sets, so I also tried on the bracelet. If you like a more feminine look, the 5 flower bracelet is very pretty too.
Yes, I purchased the size 53 Lotus Ring, so I am next in line once they make more!
The bracelet is very pretty, but a bit dainty for me. I almost bought it to make a set of three pieces (I am matchy matchy). But I felt it took away from the look of the ring. Here is a photo so you can visualize. You might love it together. It’s a gorgeous bracelet. I also tried the Palmyre bracelet (three row version). Nice and blingy, but it kind of didn’t quite go with Frivole. Last bracelet is over the top, but my SA knows I like big stuff so he brought it in. It’s a new piece.
Thank you so much for sharing your pics and your thoughts re the bracelets with us! Congrats on your new lotus and I hope that they can find a 53 for you ASAP!A few updates to those who had asked:

Perfect! I'm glad the Lotus will be on your finger soon! That is exciting. Thank you for posting the picture of the pave Frivole bracelet. I often wondered how it looked, and while it's beautiful, I agree that it competes with the ring. I know it's a chain bracelet and it can be sized, but I would love if the design had the flower clusters either closer to one another or more of them.
That last bracelet though... that is a wow!!!!
Congrats again.
Yes... that's exactly what I thought too! I think the bracelet competes with the ring, but equally annoying, the flowers are too far apart! Or, they need to make it a 7 flower bracelet and add more flowers. As pretty as it is, I'm not loving it because I feel it's too much chain and not enough flower. But then if there were more flowers, it would now really compete with the ring.Perfect! I'm glad the Lotus will be on your finger soon! That is exciting.

Thanks for your input on it. I'm glad you feel the same.

I agree, I love the ring on you, but the bracelet looks insignificant in comparison. I'm glad you bought the earrings-they're terrific. Wear them well and in good health!
Congratulations on the lotus ring and frivoles earrings. Both are stunning.
have you decided what earrings you will wear with the lotus ring? I recall you were last undecided.
Hi! Thanks, and I want to thank you as well! Your gorgeous post was my inspiration for wanting the Lotus Ring. The ring looks absolutely gorgeous on you.
Funny side story... I showed my husband the photos you posted, and he loved your Lotus ring (he said you have nice hands too!). He said to get the ring, but I was not sure. My husband and I then saw the movie Crazy Rich Asians (great bling movie by the way), and at the end of the movie, the mom wears an emerald ring and the Lotus Ring. During that scene, I tell my husband "wow, I have got to get that ring!" My husband said "I thought you already have an emerald ring". I said "yes I do have an emerald ring, but I'm talking about that Lotus ring on her other hand". My husband says "oh, right, it's that Purse Forum lady's big flower ring, get it". You are Purse Forum lady, with the big flower ring!
Good memory on the earrings! As you know, I am not a fan of the Lotus flower design by itself, so I won't get the matching earrings. Besides, seeing the Lotus ring today, the ring design is so different than the earring single flower, I'm not even sure it's a true perfect or obvious match (at least not like Frivole which you cannot miss that as a set). I'm a fan of Mikimoto, so I am thinking about their Les Petales Place Vendome collection. I plan to get one of these earrings as my set:
Les Pétales Place Vendôme Earrings (mikimotoamerica.com)
Les Pétales Place Vendôme Earrings (mikimotoamerica.com)
The petals are pointy edged, like the Lotus petals. Looking from the photos only, I prefer the single petal earring more. It's a single clean petal that will compliment the Lotus ring, not too busy. I love pearls strands too and wear them casually, so I could also wear these earrings when I wear my strands. Dual purpose!
Once I get my Lotus Ring, I will try on the Mikimotos. I also have plain diamond stud earrings that are 1ct each which I could wear with the Lotus ring. The diamond earrings seem so plain/small though, so I might just do a pearl theme. I will wear a big pearl stud, maybe add a long strand of pearls and then let the Lotus ring stand on its own. So all you see are simple glowy pearls and then the Lotus ring. Pearls to me go with everything. They are classic, simple, yet make a statement. It is also ironic the mom in Crazy Rich Asians is wearing pearl dangling earrings with her Lotus ring. I saw that and it looked nice. I wish I could wear dangling earrings, but I'm more of a simple stud gal. Dangling earrings are too blingy for me.
How about you? May I ask what earrings you wear with your Lotus ring? Necklace? Bracelet? I would love to hear how you've been wearing your ring. I think you have diamond stud earrings too as I recall. Do you like it together?

I cannot wait for you to get your 53 and pls post pics of this! the combination sounds amazing!
By the way, that last bracelet. It looks weird in the photo, but I actually love it! It's so over the top and bold. But it's also $690K over the top! So nope! No bracelet for me. I do love it though. It's shaped like a tiara. I am just really bad at mod shots but it looks beautiful on. Here is what it looks like in all its glory. It's gorgeous to me. I texted this photo to my husband (he did not come with me), and he said it was beautiful too. I said "is it $690K beautiful?". He said... "on second thought, I don't like it it all, pass!"Perfect!

Here is a second mod shot that might look a tad better. I stink with photos. Sorry.

I'm always afraid to look at their high jewelry, but always tempted. It's quite a bracelet . . . how many carats is it?By the way, that last bracelet.

Hi! I forgot to ask, so I don't know. Yes, their high jewelry is amazing. Those pieces are pure art.
