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!" :lol:

Here is a second mod shot that might look a tad better. I stink with photos. Sorry.
Oh wowwwww! No, you do not stink at taking mod shots.... I can see how incredible this is. Heavens, it is a pricey piece but if one had the money and willingness to buy it, it certainly could compete as a piece for royalty. Forget a crown, who needs the hassle when you could have this on your wrist instead! Imagine the carat weight to it!
Ha! Your husband sounds like mine. That is a comment mine would say as well, and from a practicality point, probably fitting. However, it’s fun to dream ( or set future goals perhaps....?). Thank you for posting. We don’t see treasures like this everyday so it’s nice to see the intricacies and details put into these designs.
 
A 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. :annoyed: 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.

My goodness, thank you so much for all the eye candy! I can imagine how much fun you must have had trying out these exquisite pieces!

Many congrats on your Frivole earrings and the lotus ring! Two amazing purchases! You know I am a huge fan of BTF rings like you so super happy you added the lotus ring too!

I need to go in and try some pieces out myself to decide on the next piece to bring home:hbeat:

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.

Oh... forgot... photos of the Lotus Ring... size 52 and 54.

I hope my size 53 ships to me soon! Can’t wait to get it.

Oh, I am so sad I am late to see your pictures! Everything looks absolutely beautiful on you! I love the Frivole earrings to go with the Frivole ring, and the Lotus ring just looks fabulous on you!

I can really picture the Mikimoto earrings and the long strand with the Lotus ring! You have such elegant taste and a beautiful collection!
