Thanks for the reply! I have MOP RdN mini pendant and I usually wear it with Guilloche earrings. I am looking to get some other earrings to match with it and wondering if I should get the matching mini MOP RdN earrings or Frivole large YG earrings :confused1:

Here are quick action shots. The butterfly was an older photo. Poor lighting and I’m in pj’s.

Perfect proportion with the VA and Butterfly earrings - I personally find there needs to be balance with these pieces. Larger earrings/smaller pendant; smaller earrings/larger pendant.

@innerpeace85, you can consider the butterfly WMOP YG earrings if you are looking for something specific to match your WMOP RdeN pendant.

Hello VCA family!!! I'd like to know your opinion about the two finger lotus ring. Awesome? Too showy? Unique? Stunning? Too large? Perhaps is it the kind of jewellery which comes grandma-daughter-granddaughter?

I think @BigAkoya and @lynne_ross had some great (really informative and nuanced) posts on this. . I think @BigAkoya’s position on the lotus changed over time, but her posts on jewelry (pearls, cuffs, VCA, Tiffany, mikimoto, large watches) in general are extremely thorough and informative ( she has other posts on other between the finger rings too)

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...

Share Your Latest VCA Purchase

Not my most recent purchase..my hubby bought this in advance of our anniversary to ensure we had it on hand. I can finally wear this beauty. Pics of my lotus ring worn my 2 favourite ways. Now I just need to decide on earrings... Hi! I keep coming back to your mod shots, and this ring looks...

And (her post on frivole versus Socrates) just for comparison:

Socrate & Frivole (4 flowers) BTF rings - which finger??

Hello all! I hope everyone is keeping safe and well. I need your collective sage advice. I'm looking at purchasing both of these rings (I know they're similar, but the Socrate in WG is different enough from the Frivole in YG to me :P), but I don't know which finger to wear them on. Both...

I thought a lot about the lotus, but decided against it bc
1. I prefer it in the open position, wanted to wear it for everyday. and DH was like, how are you going to do things
2. I used to be a platinum HW person for decades until 2020 when DH and my jeweler said they thought yg was more youthful and flattering on me (I was like WTH, could you not have mentioned this thirty years ago)
3. I dreamt that I bought the lotus and used black nail polish on the stones to give it some attitude- that’s when I decided I was in love with the mechanism, not the ring.
4. If my grandmother had a lotus and gave it to me, I’d definitely wear it :D

@kadmia, I’m not a matchy person, and I think you look amazing! Congrats! The set is perfection on you!

Hello all! I love seeing all your photos and experiences with VCA! Though I'm a newbie, the bug has hit hard! Started with the GMOP Vintage Alhambra pendant, and the YG 10 motif MOP and earrings. Too matchy matchy together? Goodness I love these pieces though! :smile: Thanks all!

Beautiful!!! I think it's fine to wear two pieces of the same design at one time!

I am new to VCA and this forum has me growing fond of VCA! I was a fan of Cartier until it stopped giving me excitement & push to go for the next piece. I always thought that VCA was too girly for my style and liking but decided to visit a local store and try on a few things. Initially wanted a bracelet to go with my Love bracelet..my interest went from sweet carnelian Alhambra to mini frivole to the new lucky collection. Maybe because of my fleshy wrist, I find that it looks a little too dainty on me. Went on to try necklace instead and was settling for vintage onyx as I wanted something casual and easy maintenance. Decided to place deposit and give myself sometime to decide that I really want a vintage onyx, to which I decided after a month. Buttttt....they had a vintage yg hammered when I went to make payment and I immediately fell in love with it and went for this instead :biggrin: it is getting extended while I type away...can't wait to wear it soon:hbeat: Meanwhile, here are some pics of the items I tried :)
