Congrats, Such a pretty ring and the matching earringsJust came back from a rather short overseas trip and managed to get a ring I have been drooling over since I first fell in love with VCA. I thought I was going to buy a pair of frivole pave earrings but because they made a special effort to get my size in for me, I heart just went to the land of no return when I put it on.
Now I have to decide if I want the frivole pave earrings to match my frivole btf pave ring or get the socrate 3 motif earrings to match this ring for my next purchase... At current I am more smitten with the socrate earrings, but somehow they seem more dressy compared to the frivole earrings... the rings however are the complete opposite. The socrate ring is so much more wearable compared to my frivole one... Maybe I need both haha. Every time I step into VCA, I feel so giddy with all the eye candy. I am now also in love with a watch that they have...
what kind of damage, sbelle? anything good???
oooh sbelle feel free to share with us your wave of purchases
You talked me into it! It isn't VCA, so I won't post it here. Let me work on some pictures and I'll start a new thread very soon and I'll post the link here!
Gorgeous! I see why your heart went to the land of no return!
I had my white gold frivole earrings on this weekend when I went into a Chanel boutique and the SA noticed them. She told me her daughter had that ring and how drop dead gorgeous it was. I hadn't ever seen the ring, so I wasn't sure what it looked like until now. The SA was right -- drop dead gorgeous!!

Ok....I've got one of the pieces posted. I'm working on the other one!

So pretty! I love them both!!
shyshy - absolutely beautiful ring! I have the frivole single flower ring and the socrate btf ring. I love them both.
As for the earring, I would say the frivole. You can absolutely rock them with the socrate ring. I think they are much more versatile than the socrate. You can wear them with anything.

Thanks texasgirliegirl, kim_mac, dolphingirl, i'll take two, kimber418, sbelle, ascella, bethc, dial & ryu_chan!
It is indeed a never ending love affair with my ever growing wish list kim_mac!
Ryu_chan, thank you so much for your thoughtful suggestion. I am seriously considering what you say... I did think the frivole pave earrings would be more wearable as they were more like fancier versions of diamond studs. The socrate design however, makes the earrings drop from the earlobes... like an evening piece. The SAs kept on saying the socrate is a better investment in the long run, plus I was head over heels with the socrate btf ring... perhaps they were trying to sell me the more expensive piece of the two...

I know exactly what you are going thru. For me, it was a decision between the socrate, the lotus, and the frivole. I thought that having a matching ring and earrings would be very chic, but the socrate just was not as wearable, a little too dressy for me. ended up with the lotus, but even now, I wonder if the frivole would jave been a better choice because they are more versatile. So my answer to this dilema is to save for the cosmos down the roadRyu_chan, thank you so much for your thoughtful suggestion. I am seriously considering what you say...
