That was my hesitation with the malachite and pave BTF finger! I am all about malachite but not so much in a ring or bracelet because for me those are harder prices to maintain. The carnelian on the other hand I am assuming will be easier maintenance wise. And oh yes, the price is super attractive as compared to other BTF rings. I have some years to mull over this because I still have quite a few pieces to get off my wishlist! Darn VCA :biggrin:…just when you think you are done, your eyes chance upon something spectacular!
I agree with you on every point :) I also love when I find something a little less popular that I love. It is like a treasure hunt!
 
Question--for those of you with both yellow gold and white gold pieces, what watch do you use and do you mix metals? For instance, if you're wearing WG jewelry, would you switch to a WG watch or wear a YG watch, or change and vice versa . . . Until recently I had all yellow gold, but now with a few pieces in white gold, I'm wondering if I need to think about adding a WG watch so everything's consistent?
Would love to hear everyone's two cents!

I wear a stainless steel and rose gold Cartier most of the time, and occasionally a stainless steel and YG Rolex, so the two tones work with most jewelry. I've been wearing my Hermes Apple watch with the bright orange strap now to track my workouts and activity, so it clashes with everything!
 
One issue I had with my fleurettes , that may not be a problem for you , is the la pousette backs. I had such trouble with them ! My original posts were very short and that combined with the la pousette backs made it so I had a very hard time taking the earrings off! VCA replaced the original posts with longer posts and after much prodding gave me a different back for them . So if you do have any issues, that is an option.

YES! I recently sent in my turquoise perlee earrings because I could hardly get them on with short posts and those awful la pousette backs!!! They actually didn't change the posts but they did change the backs to large regular butterfly backs! Now I can actually wear them! From here on out, if I buy any earrings that have la pousette backs, I am having them changed before they send them to me!

Oooo l love this question because I love watches! My own habit is that if I am wearing all WG or all YG jewellery, I would definitely match my watch metal accordingly. The exception is when I wear RG, I would do RG or WG/steel watch, but never YG.
A shortcut to all this would be wearing a two tone watch :biggrin::biggrin:
