I had a fun session trying on items in search of my first VCA ring! My home store is the Aspen, Colorado location, and my wonderful SA brought in the Folie des Pres ring for me to view, along with several others. I was almost certain I would be taking home or ordering a two butterfly ring today but I was wrong! After trying on several lovely rings (FdP, frivole BTF, two butterfly WG pave and pink sapphire/pave, and flowerlace and YG four motif mini frivole BTF) I became absolutely smitten with the WG single frivole ring! I loved it immediately way more than all the rest. I couldn’t believe the sparkly impact it had and it’s SO wearable. It’s just me! So that opened up the rest of my budget to other goodies.
I did not get to try on a YG ring that I really wanted to see (perlee diamond pave) as apparently it’s quite rare, but my boutique happened to have a blue agate 10 motif that I tried on with my mini 3 frivole pendant and my zodiaque. I quite like the look of both, but wasn’t sold on the shade (I prefer more pale). She said there were only 2 in America, but I don’t want to make a decision based on scarcity so I declined for now.
I decided to go with the 3 flower mini frivole earrings (been wanting these for a long time!) which were not only unavailable but not able to be ordered so I earmarked my budget for when those come in. And I ordered the blue agate bracelet, which I’ve been thinking about for a very long time, but there is a one month wait for that one. The frivole ring I ordered is a 3-6 month wait.
So while I came home with NOTHING, I am excited for 3 new pieces to trickle in this year. Below are some try-on photos for y’all! Oh and I got to try on the 20 motif pave/guilloche because I wanted an idea of how long the 20 was and that was the only one in the store. It’s stunning, but not practical for my lifestyle. I also got to try on two Poetic Complication watches which were so pretty! Thanks for letting me share my fun day!

If there had been a huge difference in my desire, I would have ordered the FdP but you also have to order your size for them to custom make it and it takes 6-9 months! That’s a long time for them to sit on that much money, imho. Nevertheless it was an honor to try on such a stunning ring. The quality is second to none.
So I do wonder if the rings and earrings are next on the chopping block?
