Ladies, I would love your advice. I'm trying to decide on my next VCA earrings. I have narrowed it down to small lotus and the three flower socrates. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Lotus!
I personally like them more, plus you have the ring! They are gorgeous.

Thimp, did you get a chance to try on the 3 flower socrates? I wish I could see them on you because I already know how lovely the lotus earrings look on you. A comparison picture would be helpful (hint hint). The lotus did not look very good on me when I tried them on in the boutique. They look so good on Eva Mendes and surgergirljen but look terrible (like ninja stars) on me! I have not had a chance to try on the 3 flower socrates. What's the rationale behind the earrings? What's the look you are going for? What are you thinking they would coordinate with? Without knowing anything, I would pick the Lotus earrings for you because I've already seen that they look beautiful on your ears and you have the ring! That would be a stunning evening look!

Hopefully, I will be trying the three flower socrates earrings by this weekend. I realized that I am more of an earring gal, and would like another VCA pair to wear in the daytime. The socrates just look so feminine and special. But you are right, the lotus earrings will be a perfect match to my ring, and a perfect evening set.

I prefer curves to sharp angles. So I am more drawn to the socrates. However, I do need a set, and just haven't been able to commit myself to establishing one. :push:

Thimp, you have cosmos earrings, correct?
How about pave Frivole? I love them and they are so gorgeous! Then you could get the ring and necklace . LOL:graucho:

Lol! I wish I have the cosmos earrings! No, I have the frivole earrings and the cosmos pendant. I love my frivole earrings, and use them at least 2-3 times a week!

i am with you - i prefer curves to sharp angles. if you are looking for daytime, i would consider the socrates since i think the curved shape compliments the cosmos pendant and alhambra necklaces you have. i wouldn't get the lotus simply to have a set. i think in time you will know what "set" you have your heart set on.

this is so fun contemplating your purchase choices! i have to sit out this price increase (pouting on ban island) but i get to live vicariously through you ladies!

Thats what I thought! Then I rewrote my comment! Ok, I guess the Socrates would be a softer daytime look, more subtle.
The Lotus really stand on thier own and make a statement. I guess both Thimp! :D






oh and get the pave frivole ring too!

I am deciding myself what earrings to get. Frivole YG or Magic 3 motif dangle.
I am having the YG Frivole ring made right now and I have the Magic MOP 2 motif already.
I guess Frivole so I can have a set. But I love the impact of the magic.
