My Lotus earrings are finally here. As FYI, I had to order them which took 8 weeks to arrive. Then, I asked the SA to send them right back out to swap out the posts for thinner posts and also loosen the clips before sending them to me. That took another 6 weeks, so a total of 14 weeks wait time. Anyway, here is a photo of the earrings. I also posted photos of the Lotus vs. Frivole for those who are debating which collection, so you can compare the size.

I'm so happy my Lotus ring isn't lonely anymore in his little cubby hole at night! :nuts::heart:

Congrats on your Lotus! You now have 2 amazing sets! Would you ever consider the Large Frivole clip again? I got to play with the Pave and it is really amazing. I know you love big and bold, it would complete your set!

Thank you so much! I was on the fence with these earrings, but I'm really happy I decided to get the Lotus earrings even though I really don't "love" the earrings as a design by themselves. But, above all else, I love love love sets, and they make a great set! :nuts: :heart: My husband knows me so well, and just yesterday, I was wearing my new Lotus earrings with my Lotus with a pearl strand and pearl bracelets. He says "your pearls looks nice, but how come you don't ever buy long necklaces in these flower designs?" I respond... "Because they don't exist!" :annoyed:

Which then helps me to answer your question...
Yes! You read my mind! I was just thinking yesterday I need to try on the Very Large clip/pendant again! It's a pendant, and I'm not really a long pendant person; I'm more a long necklace person. As you said though, that pave flower is so beautiful!
I dismissed it when I tried it on earlier. I wore it for less then 3 seconds and took it off, don't even have a modshot to look. I was expecting the flower to be big, hence I was disappointed. However, I think I need reset my expectations and try it on again. I need to think of it as a whimsical flower, floating and swinging in the air. :biggrin:

Did they have that piece when you were there and did you try it on? Did you like it? Or was it a bit too wimpy as a long pendant?
I would love to know your thoughts. For me, I felt the eye had to keep moving down the thin chain, and then,... "oh, there it is... a little flower at the end of a long chain." I was probably biased at the time and did not give it a fair chance. I will definitely try it on again my next trip.

Can't wait to see your new pieces too!
