Here are my two goodies from NM with triple points- Frivole pave pendant and btf ring.

I was originally going to get the pave frivole earrings because I didn't think this ring would fit. It only fits my wedding finger and I can't order it since it's being discontinued. Does it look funny on my wedding finger? BTW I am not married so I don't wear a ring on this finger anyway. I mean no one will think I am married with this ring, right?

Now I am wondering if I should have gotten the earrings afterall? The pendant is lovely and probably the most wearable. But for the same price as the earrings I can get both of these pieces. Ugh decisions....

The frivole pendant and BTF ring look beautiful on you congrats.
If you are concerned about wearing the ring on your wedding finger ,would you be able to have it stretched just a little so it fits on your right hand ring finger.
If not the earrings would make an equally good choice .
 
Congrat on your new purchase!! You finally found one that fits, it looks great on you. I don't think people will mistaken it as a wedding or e-ring, but if you are worried, you should exchange for the earrings.

The pendant looks ready nice too!

Btw, I've been getting mixed messages about whether this btf ring can be resized, my local NM SA said that it can, if the size diff is not too big.

Oh my Lord... just asked VCA for a valuation on my lotus earrings and they've gone up from $12,400 (when I bought them like a year ago if that?) to $16,200!!!

Wow. So glad I got them and "only" paid $12K! :0
 
Beachy I love those two pieces!! I wouldn't trade them for the earrings but it's such a personal thing I know!

How much is the pendant? The ring is gorgeous ... I agree you could totally have it stretched a smidge for your right hand one day if you need to but also agree it doesn't look like a wedding ring at all, no. :)

They are both beautiful!!!

One SA told me they can size it 1 size up or down another said no. I talked to a non-VCA jeweler and he said they could shave the sides down but would not advise cutting the ring in half as it would compromise the integrity/strength of the ring. If I had it sized I would go to my local jeweler as I liked his idea. I would prefer to wear in on my index or middle finger but would probably require them sizing up about 2 sizes.
For now I am ok with it on the wedding finger. I also tried on the TE with MOP and really liked that one too (I previously didn't like it). That one fit my index finger.

Thanks! The pendant is 8700.
 
Sounds like you had it figured out :) Give it a try and see if you like it on the ring finger, I personally like the idea of wearing it in the middle finger more, but u pull it off nicely with the ring finger also.

I also like TE, but my fave is still the turq, still trying to find one oversea, and hope that I will be able to do so before the price increase.

beachy10, my SA told me that my btf ring could be stretched a bit or pushed together a bit to size up or down. i think the pendant and ring look really beautiful on you. it's up to you whether you want to exchange for the earclips. i have the earclips and they are great - dressed up or down. the pendant you could wear everyday for sure. hard decision!
