The mismatched is the best part! They would go great with your lapis beads. I am thinking of a butterfly BTF, and then the matching earrings, in WG of course. I was thinking the same about the butterfly; I would not wear them in a work environment (I would not look mean and serious with two butterflies buzzing on my finger :biggrin: ), but they would be fun with a tee and shorts... whimsical as you said.

You have gorgeous pieces!
Hey, look at it this way, you could use your feminine wiles and disarm them with butterflies and then move-in for the jugular.
 
I thought long and hard about these. Apposite to my thinking, they're not hard to wear.

These were out of stock for so long that I assumed they were being phased out. When a pair came in I jumped on them figuring they'll only become more difficult to get in the future due to the scarcity of lapis. While I don't know if that's true, it's also been my experience that things have a way of vanishing just when I finally decide I want them.

I know these are dear, but if you want them, don't wait to long.
Now that you're into butterflies, maybe think about getting the matching ring? @TankerToad has the ring and posted it in the Other Jewelry Brands thread, and it's beautiful. I keep going back to her photo.

Thank you for letting me know. You are a massive enabler in the nicest possible way!
I will never find the thread . . . would it be possible to repost? I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd love to see it.

@TankerToad posted her piece in a couple of different posts, so I'll combine here for everyone to make it easy. I think a matching ring would be stunning; you know how I love matchy matchy sets.

Here is @TankerToad's gorgeous lapis and diamond butterfly BTF ring.
@TankerToad, I hope you don't mind me reposting your photos here so everyone can admire your gorgeous piece!

Swoooon! Admiring your stunning BTF ring @TankerToad :love:
 
Thank you
I tryed it on at a VCA NYC event just days before the covid lock down in early 2020, dreamed of it for a year and when it was possible to get it, I did - love it very much.
No regrets. Ironically, just today ordered something to coordinate my little butterflies …. We will see….

Ohhhh I can’t wait to see what you’re getting to coordinate with your butterflies!!
