Thanks for sharing this photo. Yes, I was thinking Cosmos oynx BTF ring and matching Cosmos oynx earrings. I really like matching earrings and long necklace though I will admit. I have an emerald ring and matching emerald earrings, and they work too as a set.

By the way, I tried on the Perlee turquoise set (e.g cuff bangle, BTF ring) as I was looking at that for turquoise. I decided no on the Perlee Couleurs for me. They always look nice in the photos though.

I am hoping Cosmos oynx will work as a set. I really love BTF rings too.
Ok. So I asked to see the Cosmos BTF ring but my SA hasn't seen it in stock for over a year. She also wasn't sure if its going to eventually be phased out or not but its not a piece which is on frequent shipment rotation (if that makes sense) - not that that means anything really. They only had the single ring so I figured I would try it on just to get a sense of what the BTF version may have to offer...Im being very honest here....to say I was underwhelmed is an understatement. I was hoping Id like it more but I think its because there are three onyx petals and one pave petal. Im not sure what it is but I found it, dare I say, aging? Here's to hoping the btf is more spectacular. I know this is all personal opinion so I don't want to offend anyone who has or loves it. I just thought Id offer this pic for reference. Oh and now I see the white gold border first thing! LOL

Love the two size frivole earrings together! I especially love your long magic necklace :love: :love: :love:
Im assuming that was SO too?

I got the wg onyx Magic pendant a few months ago and had no problem getting it from the NY flagship boutique. Their supply might be low due to the price increases and slow production over the last year, but you should be able to get one.

All I see is the wg boarder like I think @Lien mentioned. Did you try the rg/mop one? The metal and mop blend together much better.

Oh that’s promising!
A magic necklace is definitely on my WL in white gold. I just figured it would be chalcedony lol.

Thank you for sharing this! I really appreciate you taking the time to try this on!
After seeing it, I think Cosmos oynx is pass for me.
The WG bezel as I mentioned is what really annoys me when I saw it in on the website. I can clearly see it in the photo. Quite frankly, for me, as I stated in the other post... I was a bit worried the ring would like a oynx sterling silver ring, and to me, it does. Not to mention, this ring does not wow me at all. Not enough bling, not big enough, no elegance, no pop. That's me of course, but I'm the type that likes really blingy and big rings.

I agree the ring is aging. My words would be harsh and angry. :biggrin:
It's the black oynx. Black can be very aging with certain styles. Yes, black can be edgey, but that ring is heart-shaped flowers, so definitely NOT an edgey theme. Alhambra is more architectural and can have the edgey vibe. But not Cosmos. It's my opinion of course, and everyone has their preferences.

I have the Tiffany Elsa Peretti large black jade cabachon ring, and that ring is big, but the line is very clean which makes it look nice and edgey if you want to use those words. This Cosmos black oynx ring doesn't quite work for me.

Ugh... so much for the Cosmos oynx set idea I think I am running out of pieces to get at VCA. It's certainly for not lack of trying. Maybe it's a sign to move on. :shocked:

Thank you so much for posting this! This was super helpful! Thank you, thank you! :hugs:
