While waiting for my 13 month old to wake up from his nap so we can go inside...I am taking shameless selfies of my VCA

Beautiful as always! That long lucky necklace had been on my wishlist for a long time that I had forgotten about itView attachment 5088858View attachment 5088867View attachment 5088869Some casual shots, usually of me visiting Hand one bonus shot with my first Birkin
What do you think of it’s versatility? Is it easy enough to wear long and doubled? The motifs are far apart compared with the 20’s. Oh and congrats with your first B! 
I actually need to put money aside every month to have the lotus earrings (of course not ignoring my emergency account) in the future and you can buy them right now, so I don't know why you are still waiting and thinking.You make some really good points here.
I actually do not love the Lotus flower design as I find it ordinary (Lotus lovers, please don't shoot me). I love the Lotus ring for it's technical design because it opens... it is so cool and so bold.
But... you are right.. more than anything, I love matchy matchy. I was just thinking too, I have other earrings that I purchased only to match a ring. I never wear those earrings by themselves, yet I bought them to make a set which I really enjoy wearing together. And... yes, you are right... horrors... what if they discontinue it, and I change my mind.
You, @lynne_ross @880 ... you have now got me thinking I should not dismiss these earrings.
Add to this.. I wore my Frivole today with my matching earrings. Since I just got the Frivole earrings back from swapping out the posts, today is the first time I wore them. My husband out of the blue says "oh, you're wearing your new flower earrings with your ring, the set looks nice on you". He's enabling me too.
I think you are right. I should not dismiss them. Ok! I will try them on at the boutique next time I go. I did not even ask to try them on a few weeks ago when I was there. I was so sure they were too plain and I would not want them, so I told my SA not interested.
You all are very convincing enablers... but in a good way!
I come up with ideas on how to pair with the Lotus earrings, I would pair it with the single flower Frivole pave white gold. I see it as the leaves for the lotus because Frivole is in round shape without edges. I imagine it as the greenery for the lotus flower.
Thank you dear! I do love the lucky I think it's super way to wear and to mix and match with my other pieces like magic mop earrings. Also I think it's nice doubled up too!

Thanks dear! Haha, very close! A photo of it worn double would push me to the edgeThank you dear! I do love the lucky I think it's super way to wear and to mix and match with my other pieces like magic mop earrings. Also I think it's nice doubled up too! Did I enable you enough
Will try this week can you wait hahaThanks dear! Haha, very close! A photo of it worn double would push me to the edge
Grace Kelly does look very chic in the photos you posted, but I read the original concern was having VCA spread over too many areas of your body. I wonder if Grace looks good because we're just seeing her necklace and earrings... if she was wearing an Alhambra watch, plus ring, plus brooch too I think that is definitely getting into brand victim territory (JMHO). I agree with other posters that it can look a little "too much" when you clearly see one brand's motif all over in one outfit.

Agreed! Too much and it undermines the elegance, not to mention that it looks like you're trying too hard . . .
This site is a perfect example. There are so many beautiful images here of a gorgeous girl modeling her VCA earrings, or earrings and a necklace, or a bracelet, etc. The point is, each complements the other; the beauty of the wearer is not eclipsed by the jewelry, but enhanced.
RdN and 10 motif guilloche. Couldn't resist.

@Happyish, in case you want a different alternative to the Rolex/Cartier/Patek watches popular on TPF, have you looked at Dior watches? While Dior is a jewelers co., they have a watch called the gran bal that is amazing. The inspiration is the movement of a haute couture Dior ball gown dancing, and the peacock feather actually dance around the face of the watch as you move. As per @averagejoe, the movement is Dior inverse movement in partnership with Soprod. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...-photos-of-your-beauties-here.972446/page-132
I tried it on at the behest of my DH who loved the feather movement. It’s 36 mm, 31K USD, and my pic does not do it justice. I’m also thinking about a blue sparkly starry watch from ALange & Sohne called the Saxonia thin — just a few different options to through into the mix
SAXONIA THIN - 205.086 | A. Lange & Söhne
The SAXONIA THIN is the manufactory’s flattest watch so far. It focuses on the essential functions of a mechanical timepiece: the display of hours and minutes. The model version in white gold features a dial made of silver, faced with dark-blue gold flux.
