… I get anxiety if the CPW doesn’t go down fast
If anyone follows styledbyshishi on IG, I’m sure you’ve seen her jewelry collection but I just couldn’t resist posting this on here. Her turquoise 5 motif and I believe they look like Magic size earrings are to die for!!!! I do not buy preowned but gosh the turquoise 5 motif would definitely be on my list if one were to ever pop up from a reputable seller.
Catching up
Been insanely busy with my work
Lots of butterfly love here!
Have definitely seen the lacquer Butterfly Clips on display at the NYC 5th Ave VCA pre pandemic
Usually in rounded glass case just to the left when you walk in- pre pandemic. Although a relatively large size, the lacquer Butterflies impart a sense of delicate timeless beauty.
I added the most gorgeous lapis medium (pendant) necklace to my collection …..
Felt very blessed as there was only one coming to the USA (at that time recently) and it found its way to me.
As @BigAkoya would day- the Lapis is deep rich blue with no gold flecks.
Been pairing it with my lapis butterfly ring and 3 motif blue sevres porcelain earrings.
Planning to add another pair of earrings to this set - either 2 butterfly lapis or the matching lapis flower or the small cluster Frivole -
Not sure yet

Wow... that is so gorgeous. I love your lapis, and yes, that pendant is a perfect royal blue! Those petals are gorgeous, and the medium size with the larger leaves shows off the purity and beauty of your lapis.
I think VCA said "Forget about BigAkoya's Hellebore ring, dump her, let's save these big pieces of perfect lapis and make a pendant for @TankerToad!"
(just kidding!).Those perfect lapis stones on your pendant are stunning and goes well with the ring. For earrings, I would get either the mini or small Rose de Noel earrings, depending on how they hang on your ear. I think a slightly smaller Rose de Noel on the ear would be an amazing look with your pendant. I think the butterfly, while nice on its own or with a smaller pendant, may be a bit dainty and disappear/fade against the medium Rose de Noel. That pendant is so gorgeous and bold, it needs a bold buddy on the ears too!
I think small would work for you since your ears can take a 3-motif.Congratulations! You have a gorgeous collection.

Leaning towards the mini size in lapis earringsWow... that is so gorgeous. I love your lapis, and yes, that pendant is a perfect royal blue! Those petals are gorgeous, and the medium size with the larger leaves shows off the purity and beauty of your lapis.

Am a huge fan is the three motif style
Have the sevres pave and a SO onyx white gold pave 3 motif ( ordered before the 2 motif onyx pave became part of the permanent collection)
I feel the small lapis earrings may be a bit too bold !
