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! :biggrin:

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?

The ring looks gorgeous on you as well. Your emerald ring is gorgeous! It does look a lot like the ring in the movie. Your husband is observant. Haha at being purseforum lady with big ring. I thought you were going to write purseforum lady with big hands, with all the hand talk.

I agree the lotus ring and earrings are already not an exact match. So going with another style is no big deal.

Love the Pearl and diamonds combo. I am going to try those on to see if they suit me. The leaf theme is a nice compliment to the lotus ring and bring elegance to the look.

I am still searching for the right earrings and exploring all options. I would like to get something designer with presence. I currently wear my studs (about 0.8ct each) or thin 1.75inch diamond hoop earrings. I really do not love the look of the lotus with studs. It just doesn’t go unless I were to get massive studs but my ear lobes are too small to suit large studs. The hoops give the look a younger vibe and I have gotten a bunch of compliments on the pairing. I wear a bunch of diamond eternity rings with the look too, no necklace and then my love bracelets and perlee. Lots of metal mixing and pave diamonds. So another set of earrings for more of an elegant look would be a great alternative and I want to get the wg perlee clover to wear with it as a set. My yg one is great for when I mix metals but would like a full wg look. Let us know if you get the ones you posted.

Now I want the pave frivoles ring to go with my earrings...
