Van Cleef in action!

Love this whole look! I have the perlee clover and specially ordered the perlee ring. I also tried on the RG pave frivole ring and was enamored but it. Was wondering if it’s easy to wear every day and if you find it’s too dressy for casual wear?

Thank you so much. I love the perlee clover bracelet and the matching ring. I have had them for a few years and they are my favorite pieces to wear. Having said that, my Frivole BTF ring in PG has now become my go-to ring to wear every day. I had the same concerns as you while getting it. I have a very casual lifestyle and I did not want something I wouldn’t be able to wear out much. Happy to report that’s not the case. I wear my Frivole ring everywhere, from grocery stores to work to running errands. It’s such a comfortable ring to wear too. I forget I am even wearing it most of the time! I was a little hesitant with BTF rings in general and their ease of use but this ring changed my mind.

Absolutely stunning! Thanks for the eye candy!

Thank you for your perspective. I had the perlee ring in WG for several years but recently sold it because I’m more of a RG girl. Very excited to receive it but have to wait until October. I recently purchased the frivole pave earrings in RG but not sure I love how they sit on my ears so may exchange for the ring. Glad to hear you get a lot of use out of it.

Aah! Got it! I was also hesitant about the Frivole pave earrings because the way they sat on my ears bothered me but my SA told me he could get the post adjusted if I decided to get it. Right now, I am enjoying my BTF ring. The earrings can wait for a later date.

Modeling shot please? I've developed a not-so-passing interest in white gold . . .

My earrings came back, so I can now take a shot of the WG MOP set.
Forgive me for the crappy photos, but I truly stink at taking photos. VCA would never hire me to be their photogapher, that's for sure. I took a photo of the set laid out and then where they sleep in their cubby holes so you can see them all bunched up.

Also, for those interested in earring posts, I had these two earrings swapped out with the thinner post. I tried to take a photo of the results. You can see the post is a bit thinner. It's very subtle but it makes a difference to me.

Very, very beautiful! (My wish list just got a little longer . . . ) Wear them well and in good health!

Congrats on the full set!! You’re inspiring me to get the earrings to complete my set as well! I’m loving the matchy matchy look more and more

Beautiful set. It is like a set of pearls!

You should! I think a 20 motif with the matching earrings just pulls everything together. I hope you get it. We can be twins!

Yes yes! I am really bad and love matchy matchy. This is funny, and you will get a kick of out this. My Lotus ring arrived earlier this week as you know, and my husband loves it. First thing he said was "does it come with matching earrings"? I about bust out laughing.

Should we cave and get the matching earrings?
I do like wearing it withmy pearl set though. I rather like that look a lot. At this point, I don't feel I want the earrings as they are not really a perfect matchy matchy to me anyway. I'm only thinking about it again because my husband brought it up.

Have you thought more about earrings? Will we regret not getting a set? Sigh.

Update...my size 53 ring came in, and the fit is just right! Fast..less than two weeks!

So far, I paired it with a pearl theme and like it a lot. Big pearl studs for the ears, long single strand (38”) for the necklace, and hmm... how many bracelets for the wrist? Dilemma... I decided two bracelets for me is just right. One bracelet was too wimpy, three bracelets over shadowed my ring, and two was a good look for me.

Simple, clean, yet makes a nice statement.

Here are some hand photos in case others who have this ring are considering matching it with pearls.

Wanted to ask you how you like the lotus vs. Frivoles pave rings. I am thinking of getting the yg frivoles pave ring to match my earrings. All the pictures of the frivoles with the perlee clover have made me reconsider adding this piece to my list. Curious how you like both given you have them in sane gold colour.

I love both the Frivole pave BTF and the Lotus BTF. They are both statement pieces.
If I could only have one, I would choose Frivole. The Lotus is nice, blingy and bold. I have been wearing it open for a really bold look which I love. But Frivole... to me, it is like one big blingy flower pave ring. So beautiful. The ring itself is smaller than the Lotus ring (bigger is not always better), but from a diamond perspective, Frivole shows the glittery diamonds in all its glory. It's because all the pave on the petals are at one level and the angled petals are stunning. They catch the light and sparkle. There is no other metal to distract the pave. Lotus is more playful, you see the metal of the vines and leaves. The eye is drawn to the metal, and hence it takes away a bit from the diamonds. With Frivole, the eye is drawn to the sparkle of all the diamonds. To say it another way, Frivole is a glittery pave diamond ring. Lotus is a bold cocktail design ring. I hope that made sense.

Since you have the earrings, I think the matching BTF ring would be a perfect set!

To enable you, (and to also practice my photography skills)... I took a few more photos. Yes yes.. I know... bad lighting, photo is crooked, there are shadows... so please forgive the crappy photos.
But here they are so you get an idea...

Cover one ring and look at each separately... Notice how when the Lotus ring is open, the eye is drawn to the metal first, then the eye wanders as it is a busy ring. Now cover the Lotus ring with your hand and look only at Frivole. The eye is drawn to the center and all you see are glittering pave diamonds. Frivole is truly a work of art in my opinion. I say go for it.

Oh, the last photo is the Frivole cubby hole where they sleep at night, so you can get an idea of what a set would look like.

I hope this helps.

I give it a 50% chance I cave and get lotus earrings. I have not found a set I love with the ring yet. I am in no rush to find tight pair.
If you love sets I would go for lotus earrings. You might not love as separate earrings but if you love as a set you will wear a lot together. Worth trying them on together and seeing if it changes your mind.
