Thanks for the suggestions! Do you mean the large large lotus pendant or the medium one? I bought the medium before and ended up exchanging it for another piece, and I'm frequently thinking about getting it again. My feeling at the time was that the medium is large for a short necklace, when it sits on single chain, just under my collarbone, it looks like a bursting star from the front, which is striking, and seeing from the side, the craftsmanship really shows. but i was 6 months into lock down and did not get to play dress up at all, so i let it go. Maybe it's time to get it back! I'll DM you a picture of my favorite way to wear it. If you were talking about the Largest one, I've seen it in VCA catalogue multiple times, they look amazing as a clip, I will go try it!

I'm working on the ring!!

I like the medium, but the large really pops and it is not too big at all, not to me. It's pure fashion chic if you ask me. The way you describe the long pendant is exactly how I felt. It looked too heavy and it was "down there", it draws the eye too low and the eye now is all over the place. Hence, I only have a 2 piece set for Lotus and Frivole. My wish, and I told my SA this, is if they would make a long station necklace in Frivole or Lotus. Wow... that would be an amazing piece to make a set.

Since you already have the Lotus Ring and earrings, the pendant is made for you! I can't wait until you try it on agai at the boutique. I think you will absolutely fall in love with it. And yes... that triangle highlighting your neckline (e.g. hollow of the neck/collarbone) is lovely.

Now you make me want to try to wear short pendants again... ugh. But I can't, I know myself. It will just annoy me as I wear round/ballet necklines, and that neckline totally competes with a short pendant.

I am so excited for you. I hope you fall in love with the large clip... it's gorgeous!

I appreciate your enthusiasm:drinks:!! I really need to take a deep breath before seriously looking into the large. It is more than three times the cost of the medium! Could it be worn often? Maybe, but its proportion really has to look good. Will check if they even have it, best chance is probably in New York now. I found some photos. Do we like them?

Yes! The last photo, the large Lotus pendant on clean, bare skin, so beautiful! Try it on. Yes, NYC has it (5th & 57th). Well, they did when I was there on 6/25.
