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

I love how your pieces complement each other but do not matchy matchy! Such beautiful blues!

I like a change in size--so not everything in the RDN is a match. So if the necklace is a medium, the mini or small in the RDN. Also, if you're a brunette, the lapis earrings may disappear in the mini. Can you ask you SA to get in the Onyx in the two sizes? That might be a good way to see which you prefer.
It also depends on where you want your focal point--your eye will be drawn to the larger piece. If you get the mini earrings, the emphasis will be on your neck w the medium RDN pendant. If you get the small, I would think the emphasis would be drawn equally to your face and neck.
Finally, I understood the RDN/Lapis earrings were only available in the mini. Has that changed?

That was what I was thinking. The mini are not mini like in other collections. I think they will be a great complimentary size to your pendant. That way not everything is in competition but they are substantial enough to make their own statement :love:

I think the mini rdn would go nice with pendant and still match with ring. I prefer earrings to be slightly smaller than pendant. I find even the mini too large for me, so I would get the 2 butterfly in that case. I bet you can pull off the small or mini given you have beautifully thick hair and you must be fine with earring weight given your love for 3 motif.

You ended up exchanging! I really love the colour combo of these pieces. Green, blue and gold is my favourite combo of colours, works year round, dressed up or down.

Thank you. It takes a little thought before wearing, but I love the colors. It's so much more exciting (to me) than the WG/RG combination, and besides, I love a long necklace. Because of the way the links are formed I can wear it shorter or longer at will, and the pendant is convertible, it can be worn as a brooch.
It's so much fun!
