Thank you @rosebean :hugs:… I am so sorry it didn’t work for you. The butterfly ring has been a complete surprise for me. I always thought I would wear the Frivole BTF ring more often but this whimsical beauty has been on constant repeat since I got her last year. Now, wondering whether I need the matching butterfly pendant or diversify and add the RG hammered 10 motif instead!
you definitely need the matching butterfly pendant!! I have the turquoise butterfly ring and earrings. initially I thought this 2 pieces would be enough. I managed to try on the matching turquoise butterfly pendant and it was love at first sight. I think the earrings do look fabulous with the necklace - to give it more whimsy. the earrings and ring while beautiful are abit too far away for me! Initially I wanted to tell myself I didnt need the turquoise butterfly necklace while waiting for the 20 motif alternating turquoise necklace...... now im so glad I added the piece will waiting, and that I will have added optionality in the future with a new long necklace :)

all the best in your decision making but definitely please do go try the necklaces on in the store!!!!!
 
I was sorry too, cuz I always love MOP.

Well, tough choice between butterfly pendant and RG hammered 10/20. You know eventually you get all, which one comes home with you first? will you have photos to show us with butterfly pendant or 10/20 motif? I am sure you will get lots of opinions or creative suggestions :biggrin:
@rosebean As soon as I get the chance to try these at my store, you know I am spamming everyone here with my pics :biggrin:… the only thing that prevents me from going ahead with the 10/20 motif in hammered RG is that the 16 motifs in sweets is also a contender for an everyday casual look. Until I get a chance to try out and compare the 10/16/20 motifs in person, I think I will be in a limbo and unable to decide.

My two cents... I personally think you will find Sweets too tiny. Seeing how you like the big Magic look with the big motifs, I think you may find Sweets disappears and looks like a metal station necklace.

My SA had me try on Sweets as we were running out of ideas for long WG necklaces. I felt Sweets was super tiny, as if I was just wearing a long chain necklace. I much prefer the VA 20; it's very casual and wearable.

Just my thoughts I want to share. I think with you long Magics, I would get a 20 which would give you the option to layer the 20 and long Magic if you want to pile it on.
 
I love love love seeing your mod shots. The way your wear your pieces is so beautiful, as is your look.
All your outfits above are gorgeous, and I especially love the third photo and how you layered the necklaces.

I really love the Clover with 3-row. It's growing on me. I was thinking of doing two Clovers, but the three-row adds a bit more bling (and less metal). I suppose you jingle? :biggrin: :heart:

And finally, I can totally see you with glamorous rings! Think rings @chiaoapple, they are calling you! :hugs:
Thanks so much, your comments really made my day!
And yes I absolutely do jingle:biggrin: Do go try the diamond one row as well. It didn’t look that great on me, but as seen on some fellow members here, it looks beautiful and does makes an impact. I love my three row but am kind of sad I couldn’t get the one row to work.
And rings…. Yes, the frivole pave btf ring is definitely on the radar. But given I have only worn my clover ring once since getting it a couple months ago, just not sure I should plunge into rings just yet.

Butterfly! You have enough Alhambra. I vote get the matching butterfly set.
My thoughts exactly @BigAkoya … I feel I am at the tipping point of being over-Alhambra’d (new word for the dictionary :biggrin:)

Your thoughts are always on point @BigAkoya :hugs:and you put into the words the same reservations I have regarding the sweets. Since I love magic size, I fear that the sweets may be too small for me. I like the idea on paper but may end up being disappointed when I actually try it in person. I do know that if ever I add a 20 motif it will be the one in hammered RG. But again, do I want more Alhambra pieces?
