Posting this here as I recall some of you had been discussing the lacquered butterflies and I just saw this on IG. This is quite a beauty!!!! (Original IG poster’s account is listed for credit).

Thank you. Wow... these are so pretty. I am going to ask my SA to bring one in next time I am at the boutique. I want to see if it can be converted to a real pendant hung on a long chain (add little hoops to the top of each wing). For me, I would love to wear this big butterfly as a pendant.

Thanks for sharing.

I see she is made with white gold too! :P I hope you can see one and if you love it, this does have great potential to be quite the conversation piece as a pendant

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

Love your choices! you look splendid! :smile: Agree with @lynne_ross and @glamourbag re the choice of different scale creating great focus and emphasis

@Tyler_JP , all of a sudden I see the appeal of something small and delicate! Fabulous!

Hi! You mentioned you had to think about what to wear with your gorgeous necklace.
Well, I purchased these green tops this season that I think would be great, so I want to share in case you might be interested.

Do you wear oversized shirts? I bought these Frame shirts this season and love them. I bought the white, pale blue, and green (the orange had too much red in it for me, so I returned it).
The green is fabulous! I think your necklace would look awesome with it and white jeans. Roll up the sleeves; so crispy and casual! This is the link to Saks where you can see how it's style with white jeans (all other websites show it with the matching green shorts which is not me nor do I think is you, hence I posted this link):
Shop Frame The Oversized Shirt | Saks Fifth Avenue

The green is completely sold out on both the Saks and Frame website, but there are still some at BG and Nordstrom.
I love the pale blue too, and I think you could also wear your pendant with the pale blue top. It would add a pop of color.
Here are the color options: The Oversized Shirt Oxford Blue – FRAME (frame-store.com)

And in case you wear striped tees...
This is my beloved brand, Saint James, for authentic, made in France, Breton striped shirts! :nuts: :heart:
Of course, since green is so hot this season, there is a Granny Smith Apple Green stripe tee this season! The link below is the 3/4 sleeve version, and there is also a long sleeve version (I bought both lengths, two of each. :biggrin::heart:)
This would be great with your necklace too, with blue jeans (or white). Your pendant would look really fun! So happy!

YOU ARE AMAZING! Thank you! Thank you for taking the time. I have a Hermes Kelly in the granny color--the Saint James will be perfect! And I love Saint James--I thought I was the only devotee. And the Frame in green is gorgeous. Hoping to find it in my size.
Thank goodness you're across the country!
I mean that in the nicest possible way.
