I love how the different VCA designs coordinate so well together without having to match:hbeat:

You need to make a catalogue of these looks! Every one is as pretty or prettier than the last! Grief I sound like a broken record.
Side question on that ring. I forgot to ask my SA.... Is the MOP on the butterfly "hardier (aka treated in terms of manufactured differently)" than the MOP on the pendants? Just wondering as there is a lot more movement and possibility of knocking things when its worn on the hand....I assume worst case scenario they can replace it...

Hehe you don’t sound like a broken record and I appreciate all the love you send my way so thank you :hugs:

Okay, so when I was thinking of buying the ring, those were my exact concerns and my SA told me that because of the polished coat of the stone on this ring, it’s actually hardier. Someone please correct me if I have the wrong information. And yes, it’s fragile as all stones are but hardier than regular white mop (or so I was told).

I am careful with all my jewelry but not overly so. This ring has been jostled against grocery bags, laptop bag etc., I won’t lie:wtf: but it’s been pretty resilient till now.

TY! Phew! I figured it would be. And I noted the coating when I tried it on. It was my general assumption but Im not sure why I didnt think to ask at the time.... Another checkmark in favour of this piece for me :)

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:

Ugh honestly:lol:! I keep looking back at my pics from my visits (and from our lovely members' pics here and on IG) and I've SERIOUSLY never been so torn!!!!! I don't know if it's as difficult for you (or if you've made your decision) but I legitimately can say this time I want both equally! I'm going to probably ride this out until winter where then I can make a better decision as to whether right now is the best time to commit to a non-resizable ring (long story:-s) or if the bangle is a better option. I admit I almost caved and bought the ring but I reminded myself its smarter to wait. I hope you have made some progress.....:heart::heart:

Can you buy one first and just get second later (pick a memorable occasion for both)?
I took the decision on what to get next out of my hand and gave my DH a list of things for my birthday. I gave him a fairly big list though so he might not get one of the items I was deciding between and I will be right back where you are!

Yes, I plan to as both are on the “to get list” but it’s the “which one first” part that’s hard!
Re: your birthday- that is a good idea! It’s still a surprise but not so much of a “surprise” that it’s something you don’t want. It’s a guarantee you get something you like. We do that for Christmas with the family… everyone gives a list, of for ex five items within a certain price bracket, and the gift giver has to buy a couple items from the list. Then everyone is happy with getting what they like but they don’t know exactly what it is. It also takes away the pressure of trying to find the perfect gift for people. It is a smart and fun way to do it and I’m sure he will make a beautiful choice!
