She will be 17 on the 21st July
She did try to get her dad to buy her the Lotus ring first but has done a deal with him for the sweet .
I credit her pleading as being the reason DH thought I should have the Lotus ring so maybe I should buy her a bonus present as well LOL

Thanks ladies.
I am still wanting another pendant that I will love as much as the Cosmos but not sure what to go for. My DH thinks I should maybe have a look at Chanel,Bvlgari or Cartier before deciding .
I did like the Flowerlace very much but did wonder like Junkenpo said would I be bothered by its asymmetrical after a while.
I also think that the best pendant for money versus carat weight and design is the Magic pave pendant which is almost 3 carats, and really sparkles as G&S mommy says but still wearable every day or evening
I have only hesitated with that one as I have the 6 motif ,but it is definitely still a leading contender . In any event I will have to wait a while as I have just blown the current budget with the small Lotus earrings :D

I love my pave Magic pendant and wear it every day! If I could add another, it would be the Cosmos. They are my two favorites. They have the most sparkle of any of the VCA pendants I have tried. If you want something as sparkly as your Cosmos, but different, the pave Magic may be your best bet! Enjoy your new Lotus pieces in the meantime!

I am crazy about the flower lace but prefer them as earrings.
Among the rest of the necklace choices, I like the cosmos the best.
What did you decide??

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 .

I agree about the Flowerlace. I am not a huge fan of the Cosmos. Its too much for me. Beautiful but not my taste.

I have the Magic Pendant and I find it modern yet vintage --;)and very versatile. I wear it with coral beads, an ivory tusk and other various pieces of mine. Alone it is stunning but it looks fabulous layered. The flowers only look good alone IMO. Also, the diamonds in the magic are quite large and really stand out. I prefer the look of the stones to the micro melee.

I would love to see how you layer the pave magic pendant with your other jewelry.:love::heart:

Absolutely love these earrings. They look perfect on your ears!
I am wearing my large gold frivole earrings nearly every single day...they look great with just about everything (except athletic wear...):smile1:

Thanks for the comparison pictures and congrats on the Lotus earrings and Lotus ring.
The picture is gorgeous!

HDmom,

I have the small YG frivole and have VERY sensitive skin when it comes to pieced earrings or any metal touching my skin. I can only wear 14k or 18K gold or platinum earrings. The first time I wore my Frivole (small) I was alittle red and sore and I gave them a week break. Now I can wear them all day and do not even know they are in. In fact I fell asleep the other night with them in and was surprised in the morning to have them on! Maybe give them a chance? I love them! I hope to get the pave frivole soon also! :)

I hope it works out for you!

I tend to agree.....
While I prefer the cosmos (and the small size at that) I can never see myself wearing it...nor the lotus ring.
Beautiful, but OTT for my taste.
