Thank you so much:hugs:We are all such huge enablers for each other here and I love it! I draw my inspiration from all of you wonderful ladies here:hbeat:… Can I just say I absolutely love love love the butterfly ring? I used to be afraid it’s too kiddish initially but have changed my mind completely. It’s quintessential VCA and such a whimsically elegant piece. Now, I need to spam you with a lot of pics here so you love it as much as I do:biggrin:
I know you are a white gold gal, so which one would you go for? The pink and white gold pave or the all pave WG one? Somehow I see you with the latter.:loveeyes:

Yes, that is exactly my concern on the butterfly collection. I don't want to look childish or cutesy; that's not my look at all. As to which one, there are three choices. You are so right... off the top, my initial thought was the all pave WG. However, I really love color. I think all diamond pieces tend to just look the same after a while, so I thought maybe I could try on the pink sapphire and pave. Those are the two. I would not buy the yellow sapphire and pave, so that's not even on my list as a maybe.

The pink sapphire and pave I think is so pretty. It however, also very girly girl to me, but perhaps girly girl is ok every once in a while... shorts in the summer! :biggrin: The good thing is both rings (all pave or pink sapphire/pave) have matching earrings. I love the mismatched matched earrings, and I actually love the earrings more than the ring... so creative.

I love the ring on you, and it does not look childish on you. Feel free to spam away. :nuts::heart:
I tried on the butterfly ring once; I felt it was too cutesy, so I said no to the collection.
Because of that, I have since never even looked at any butterfly piece in real life and definitely not the earrings. I just walk past that butterfly case and say "no thanks" when my SA asks if I want to try on anything. :shocked:
I will definitely try on the butterfly ring next time I go to the boutique. Better yet, I'll have my SA bring in my size to be sure of the fit. Did you get the same size ring as your Frivole BTF?

For my Frivole BTF, I had to go down a size, to a 52, as that ring is an open shank. For my Lotus ring, I stayed with my true ring size, which is a 53, The Lotus is a closed shank, a true "ring" so to speak, even though VCA calls it a BTF. My guess is I will be the same size as my Frivole BTF.

Lookking forward to your next mod shot! :hugs:

Since you already have the lotus and the Frivole rings in all WG pave, I am leaning more towards the pink and pave option for you especially since you like the matching earrings as well. I find the earrings so beautiful! The mismatched earrings are so unexpected yet eye catching in a gorgeous way. I would love to see pictures of both options when you try them at the store. Yay! So excited for you.

Thank you:hbeat:…like you I love BTF rings and have really been enjoying alternating between the Frivole and the Butterfly rings. Both are the same size btw. I do tend to like my rings and bracelets a little on the looser side so I actuality ended up sizing up on all my rings.

It’s so interesting how our tastes evolve over time. So many things I said I would never ever consider, ended up on my WL down the line, some even making it to my collection….now I have learnt to ‘never say never’:biggrin:

Love this look. What is the ring on your pointer finger? Any close ups of it?

I will take a pic and post a close up of it. It’s got an interesting story behind it. These were actually earrings but they were so big and heavy on my earlobes that one actually fell off and I lost it, 17 years back. Hubby gave these as part of a push present when we had our first baby. Long story short, my family jeweler was able to make another one but I was always too afraid to wear them for fear of losing it. So, my mom gave me the idea of converting them into a ring and pendant so that I would wear them more. And that’s what my jeweler did a few years back. I absolutely love the pairing now and get so much wear out of both the pendant and the ring. Being able to wear it tons makes me happy because these pieces have special value for me:heart:
