Ladies and Gents,
I would like to pick your brains..
Attaching pic for your reference. I feel like yellow gold is missing in my collection. Initially, I was planning to buy Perlée clover bracelet in white gold but now I am having second thoughts. Not that it matters but my Perlée clover ring is in white gold but I am kinda considering yellow gold bracelet. I also want to add Perlée pavé one row in white, butterfly earrings (yellow sapphire) and vintage alhambra pavé earrings down the road.
What do you guys think? How does my collection look with all these addition? Am I all over the place?

Gorgeous collection!!!

What about adding the Perlee single row diamond in WG and Perlee clover in YG or PG. Both would look amazing as a stack as well as worn with your current pieces!

I can’t wait to see what you pick!

I would get the perlee clover and perlee single row diamond bracelets in the same color gold...I personally think it gives more of an elegant look while stacked together...

I started with strictly WG in VCA but it’s really hard to stick to it as the other colours are too hard to resist! Now I’m all over the place too! The butterfly yellow sapphire is on my line up so I’m biased.

I will try to post some tomorrow maybe;)....the yellow MOP, the Pave, the Guilloché.....all together...what is not to love??!!!

Your bracelet is stunning ...so big congrats on that!!! I didn’t consider it as I have the 5 motif already!
Yes! Photos please! I need some enabling photos. I’m drawn to it and can’t decide yet! I’m on the fence with it being quartz...

Your collection is amazing and based on the beauties you have collected already, I’d get white gold. Perhaps buy yellow gold pieces outside of Perlee?
 
@Rami00 I’m guessing that you want to and will enjoy mixing and matching metals? I am not as comfortable with this, but likely would be more so if I had a piece that combined metals like your stunning Neoud ring. I would get the Perlee clover in yellow gold and the perlee pave single row in either yellow or white gold. You could do the VA pave earrings in yellow gold since you have the Frivole and Victoria in white gold already. Do you want anything in pink gold?

Interested to see what you pick! Anything will be stunning.

I think yellow gold perlee would look amazing. I do think mixing complimentary pieces with white/ yellow/ and rose gold in fact accentuates the item... with your stunning collection , the perlee bracelet would tie your beautiful ring and that way you can spring board into other pieces down the line.

But as we all know - one cannot go wrong with VCA good luck deciding
 
Would love to hear answer to this. I have yg pave frivole and I still want yg pave vintage. I wear the frivoles out and about and not just for special occasions. So feel I would wear the vintage s lot too.
I have the vintage Alhambra pave in YG. Since they are flat , I feel they are not too blingy and I do wear it work. Frivoles are super blingy due to three dimensional effect - I would still wear them everyday but not when I want to be understated.
Also I plan to get Lotus and/or Socrates in WG so not getting Frivole in WG.
Hope this helps!

That is my plan too! To get lotus small one day as my wg option.
I believe I feel the same as you. I wear my frivoles for work, dress up and even everyday wear. But I wish I had the vintage as a toned down version for everyday. I also do not wear a necklace with my frivoles whereas I feel I could wear the vintage pave earrings with my motif necklaces. I considered the guilloche but I don’t love them with the stone motif necklaces and I have the hammered yg that I wear a lot so they would just not match.
Ok looks like I need no more convincing and should pull the trigger on the pave vintage.
 
lynne, you have said it well- the pave VA is a toned down version of pave perfect for anything and goes beautifully with motif necklaces. I have the pave VA in yg and the pave frivoles in wg and fully intend to get the pave frivoles in yg in the future. I it is a gorgeous earring and they look different enough to justify both. The pave VA is light, and as you said pave but flat pave so it is more low key for sure. They are also light and beyond comfortable. If I didn't already have the wg small lotus, I would think about adding the wg pave VA as well. Bottom line, I highly recommend that you purchase the pave VA. They are my most worn earring.
