Thank you very much Texasbroke. This sounds promising. I do the same - if there is opportunity to save i'll do. May i ask how much is the sale tax? How it works? Should I pay it and then return it in the airport or I show them passport and tickets and not pay tax at all? Sorry for so many questions...

No. You do nothing other than tell them when you purchase you want is shipped to you anywhere out of the state of florida. Then they do not charge you the 6% sales tax.

This is a beautiful look Thimp ,I remember it well LOL
I agree about the chain on the Lotus pendant so am going to see if it is possible to change it.

Tbbbjb I am going to store again this week so will see if I can take a picture of the Lotus as there are very few pictures around.

Kim mac I also love the Noeud and saw a two tone ring ( white and rose good) that was beautiful
I am normally drawn to sets of things but the Flowerlace just seems a little more fun.(whimsical is a great description )
I am so undecided but hopefully will be able to make a decision when I see them side by side .
Thank you for your thoughts

I tried on the Lotus pendant a few months ago and really disliked the chain. Not only the look, but also the length which is really short and more like a choker on me. Also, while I love the Lotus motif, the pendant is fairly small and does not make a huge statement like the Lotus ring. I guess I am just used to my Magic pendant which is more of a statement piece. For those reasons, I would prefer the Flowerlace. I would love to see a modeling shot of the Flowerlace as I have never seen it worn. Good luck with your choice and have fun deciding! I love shopping at VCA and always leave with an even longer wish list!

ok I now have a pix...

I like it! The 3 together kind of give it a lok similar to the magic line.

Thanks for your response Beachy10. I plan to go to VCA this weekend for suggestions.

I'll take two

Doesn't the "Mirrior"(sp) chain also fit the lotus pendant? I think this chain is longer and would give a different look to the Lotus?

Thanks Junkenpo, I like it too

Thanks for everyones comments and thoughts.
Just had some interesting info about the large Lotus pendant . Apparently the chain is now charged as a separate item so I am assuming that I will be able to choose a different chain .
I like the type of chain used on the vintage Alhambra pieces so will make that enquiry and post an update later.
The small lotus pendant must be quite dainty as the diamond weight is 0.43. The large pendant is 1.77
I am going to try and get some comparison pics of the Magic pendant,my medium cosmos pendant,large and small Lotus alongside the flowerlace pendant.

One of my SAs mentioned a medium lotus pendant. Please take modeling comparison shots with the different chains, if possible. Thanks in advance

Looking forward to your pics! I must have tried the small Lotus pendant. I did not know there was another size!

Yes, the small is tiny in fact (think micro!) , the large is stunning!

I tried the large Lotus and flowerlace pendants . I loved the Lotus but didn't feel it sat well on my neck . It does makes a much nicer brooch or on a silk collar.

I'm afraid the picture quality is very poor but does give some indication the size comparison between some of the pieces.

The lotus ring fortunately was the perfect size so that will be winging its way to me sometime next week along with the small lotus earrings.
The larger earrings were just stunning but felt too a little too heavy for me ,though i was still seriously tempted .

^congrats

I actually think the Cosmos pendant is the best looking all in all - and you already have the Cosmos.....

I completely agree. Cosmos pendant wins hands down. IMHO.
